Billie Eilish Slammed for Allegedly Saying ‘Ch*nk,’ Mocking Black and Asian Accents

Quote from JaedaKim

Well.... there isn't context, I won't defend or get mad

What other context does there need to be? She used an Asian accent to mock Asians and used the anti-Asian derogatory slur.

I suppose I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for being young and dumb. This was also before this year's Stop Asian Hate movement, when big corporations finally started to speak out against anti-Asian actions and rhetoric. All we can really hope for is that things change and future generations refrain from making racist jokes. Casual racism towards any race has got to stop.

I don't want to single her out for it because this has largely been a thing societally.

i don't think she says that though. Not if you don't look at the screen while the word appears (which is typical phenomenon that your brain will try to hear what you read and not what is actually audible). For the rest, especially the mocking part, yeap. people forget that she made extremely sexist comments and body shamed men just a few months ago, which is really ironic because her whole thing until two months ago was "don't body shame me,". Typical ignorant, entitled, nouveau rich, california teen crap.

Stupid teen stuff, and not as serious as the rest, but it is what it is. Especially after beeing pushed so hard for years by the industry for supposedly being different from the other pop stars and how deep and mature she was for her age and an icon for anti-body shaming, I guess people are really getting tired of that and don't ignore her stupidity anymore. Anyways, time to get the pop corn i guess

Yeah, I saw these. Can't be selectively advocating for a cause. It's either all or nothing. My problem with a lot of activism is that it's based on hype and trends. If you're advocating for social justice for one race, you should be treating other races with respect behind the scenes as well.

Quote from ClementineRuby

A lot of her fans puts up with her treating them horribly. I remember a few months ago, she posted a collection of nude drawings on Instagram, and shortly afterwards she lost quite a lot of followers. She made an online statement calling them "babies" for not liking the "art" she had drawn. That statement was obviously overly harsh and condescending, and that's coming from someone who is perfectly fine with nude art. I don't remember her getting any flack from her fans for this. It just shows you they're desensitized to her bad behavior. If these claims of racism are true, they'll just shrug it off. They're that fanatical.

Her brand is built on edginess, so her calling people names should come at no surprise.

I'll say that a lot of fans are willing to give their favorites a pass, though.

I wanted to like her and I still like some of her songs, but I can't get behind fake wokeness. It's either all or nothing. Still, I don't like being harsh on her for it since she's young and I try to acknowledge the good things she's done.

This was an incident that happened a while ago, so it's how she carries herself from this point on that matters.
