What’s you opinion about kpop companies deliberately not choosing half black trainees?

  • Thinking of that, here is a list of musicians coming to my mind in Japan who are half African or half African-American or from another country where people tend to be pretty darkish by color:


    • Aisha, Aisha Andrejeva -> Half African-American
    • Nesmith (EXILE / EXILE THE SECOND), Ryuta Karim Nesmith -> Half African-American
    • Mandy (EXILE / GENERATIONS), Mandy Sekiguchi -> Half Nigerian, but US-citizen trought birth
    • Saarah (BANANALEMON), realname unknown -> Half African-American, she was born and raised in Los Angeles
    • Elly (Sandaime J Soul Brothers) Rosado Koya Elliot -> Half African-American
    • Likiya (THE RAMPAGE), Likiya Elliot -> as like his brother Elly, also half African-American
    • Tekoe Yusei (participant on Produce 101 Japan season 2) -> Half Nigerian
    • Crystal Kay, Crystal Kay Williams -> Japanese-Korean, half African-American
    • Jurius (ex. MIXMADE), realname unknown -> Half Ghanian
    • Thelma Aoyama -> Half Afro-Trinidadian

    EDIT: I forgot Kevin Heart. He is as far I know fully African-American if I am not wrong on that. He is a musician in Japan. And in cas someone gets me wrong here: yes his name is Kevin Heart and yes I know that there is also a African-American actor in America with the same name but no it's not the same person
