Thank you for speaking for us, indians. i am really thankful. there are idols who I just adore sm like dk, wonwoo, stray kids but when they put out content which is racist unintentionally. it hurts. i am grateful for you guys that you took time out to aware people. thank you sm.

To add on to the conversation: as someone whose research focuses on decolonization, I have to say we don’t talk enough about how racism has been mobilized to other countries through colonization and other forms of soft power (education, cultural exchange, etc.). I’m from Vietnam, and I have to say many of what we learn about Indigenous Peoples in North America in our textbooks are outdated and misinformed (and racist) because we imported those knowledge from white American textbook authors who had a colonial mindset. It is good to let Kpop idols know what is wrong, but I also think we also need to think deeper and care more about how these were normalized in the first place, so that we can do better together 😊

@@CopperCassie Yes!!!! Thank you Cassie for summarizing what we were trying to say, both here and in one of our other livestreams, too (부족오락관). Soft power seems to export not only the "softer" things like music and food, but also racist stereotypes and other negative things along with it. That's why I hope there can be more content in the future that subverts these kinds of stereotypes instead of playing along with them. Awareness is key! -A

@@CopperCassiebut that song talks about Indians from the country India, not the native Indians of America

@@Memsy7 the song is racist either way? there's no defending or minimizing it

physical punishments for students are forbidden here but we still had that one teacher...he used to be a high ranking soldier and a heavy smoker. He only quit smoking after he got a brain hemorrhage. Instead of smoking he decided to get addicted to sweets - you couldn't get anything done with him unless you bought him a pack of candy beforehand, it was sorta his way of collecting payment for his services. Anyways, the military background really showed in his teaching style because he had a pointer that he proudly called "Bullynator". He would usually use it just as an intimidation tool - he would drag it across the floor during tests and slam the desk if he felt like someone wasn't paying attention during his lectures, but sometimes he would beat students with it too. He would slap the back or fingers, sometimes the head. I believe he actually snapped it in half on someone. He would also throw chalks...or in worse case, the keys, at unsuspecting victims. The keys weren't light either, he had like all the keys in the school bundled together so they could easily knock someone out if they happened to get hit in the head...he would also pull 구레나룻....The worse part is that up until now I didn't even realize that this is unusual, he was a bit of a psycho but he was also well respected and I believe that no one really had a problem with him. But yeah, I agree with you that this should stop.

Wow, I didn't know about this song or what it meant. I actually checked out this song after you guys mentioned it and it feels like I have heard it before but I guess I never paid attention to the lyrics. I have a vague memory associating Kim Jiwon with it so maybe I heard in that clip where she plays Indian or something. But wow damn. Thank you, I know better now. :')

[@schokola9645]

I'm at the punishing part and in Germany, as far as I'm aware, especially during the Third Reich, students had to sit straight with their feet together and raise their hands in a certain way or the teachers would hit their fingers with their pointer or a ruler. Or they would throw things at the students like chalk or their keys but all of that isn't allowed anymore and students can sit any way they want. Sometimes though, teachers would still throw things. A teacher of mine did a few times but none of us cared that much about it

There definitely needs to be a Miso emoji!!

I thought seungkwan said gargamel because of orange caramel (pledis senior). 😂

[@bucoybrown]

The pitch worked!

[@hiidupiidu3292]

im indian but the curry song kind of slaps i feel guilty asf 😔😔

[@ihsan2837]

LMFAO

[@seannatv]

HAHAHA this comment made me literally laugh out loud 🤣 i think it’s possible for a song to be both catchy and problematic! i always get annoyed at how i can’t get blurred lines by robin thicke out of my head, even though the lyrics are awful 😫 -A

[@harika_9399]

Lmfaooo ikr, it’s catchy and the stereotypes are hilarious(ofc cuz the stereotypes are real). It def wouldn’t be as problematic if it was an Indian who made it and played it around here.

[@rainbows5232]

also, lemonade in russian doesnt mean only lemon juice, it could be any fruit juice

[@bronaghmccabe]

ooo to add to the pop/soda/cider/soft drink/fizzy drink/carbonated drink/sparkling drink/lemonade/cola debate, in Ireland 'minerals' is used too! If you go to an older bar or family run business you may see a drinks menu and a minerals menu! Minerals now is mostly used by older people or country people (like me >

[@seannatv]

That’s fascinating! Thank you for always teaching us English we don’t know!

[@not-identified]

The way people do elections may be because of the size of the country. Is easier to do something like what the Koreans do in a small nation than in the US

[@seannatv]

Ohh that’s possible! I bet in the past in America there was more shouting involved in electioneering, but somehow it got phased out… Very interesting!

[@rainbows5232]

i know that soda can mean many different drinks, but in israel i wouldnt call cola, sprite or fanta as soda. cola is cola, fanta is fanta and sprite is sprite. what we would call soda, is only drink from the schweppeses brand

[@seannatv]

That’s so interesting! Sounds like there is no consistency across countries and languages 🤣
