Why are we caring so much about the races of fictional characters

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

so what do you call someone who just likes the damn music?

Normal

I still haven’t really seen it be used outside of the original context, that being to describe a middle aged woman(often a white one) who deems it necessary to complain about most everything, especially when it comes to service and retail employees just trying to do their best, so learning that it’s being applied to all women is shocking.

But no, it ain’t.

Tears of the kingdom

Quote from Yinye

Let's not make it that one country is better than another when both countries still have lots of issues about racism and discrimination etc.

That’s not what I was doing at all lol. I was just saying based on what I have heard, not what is the truth. Let’s try to not put words into people’s mouths

Quote from JiminieKookie

Yeah it's probably also cause many of them don't make a too big deal about their heritage or just don't look too much like it. It's not like the same thing when you hear Japanese scream in Korea "Sorry I don't understand. I am Jpanese" or something, ya know the videos where foreign KPop-idols struggle speaking the language and than make a big deal about the fact that they are from Japan... Many of them in Japan talk so little about it, you barly even know certain things like Hayato of GENERATIONS for example talks so little about being mixed that we don't even know if he can speak Korean or not. Weesa of PSYCHIC FEVER also never made a big deal about it, untill he first ever visited Korea and realised he barly understood anything and so just said he started to go to a language class to get better in Korean.

But in KPop it's allways the "I can't speak Korean properly so I allways study when I have time since I'm from Japan", "Oh I miss my hometown Osaka so much","Back when I was in Japan","My Japanese classmates,...." and so on but compared to this most mixed JPop-idols are chill and mention it lesser or almost not even. The craziest "foreigners" in JPop tend to be those who grew up in an English speaking country, not those who are foreign by ethnicity. Like for example Ryoki from BE:FIRST is fully Japanese but grew up in Australia and the USA and so he constantly says random stuff in English inbetween and makes fun of how he used to live outside of Japan. There could also be the confused type like in a video I once saw there was a woman who got asked where she learned to be so good at English and she was like "How many times do I need to say that I'm from Sydney?"

IDK if it's a cultural difference that people are a bit more calm about their ethnicity in Japan than Korea, but I noticed that most people be more calm about being mixed or fully foreign (Unless you are Fengfan of INI yell at your members thinking they woud discriminate you cause you're Chinese, even if they don't discriminate you)

Also the people from my example as far I can find pics:

I think it definitely might be a cultural thing. I’ve heard that in Japan there isn’t as much discrimination towards mixed people like how there is in Korea

Why did the wedding dress have to be red though lol. If you have kids with the guy then obviously we all know you slept with him💀

But uhh I would have just not scheduled the wedding on a custody day, that way I wouldn’t have to invite my ex. But yeah husband is an absolute dumbass, why would you keep that from your bride to be

I didn’t even realize there were so many Koreans in j-pop. It just seems like everyone flocks to kpop

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

hope you are well

I am, thank you

Just went through this particular cancer this past year. Thankfully, it’s one of the few cancers that is considered curable. Hope everything goes well for him

This alongside how much good ole Charlie’s coronation costed them I honestly don’t understand how Brits haven’t started full on rioting yet

Honestly surprised James Cordon hasn’t made an appearance yet

I think seat expansions might become a regular thing in the future anyways (considering how much of an epidemic morbid obesity is becoming globally) but uhh also it’s not discrimination? Those seats are made to fit normal sized bodies, which she does not have. They didn’t make those seats that size with the intentions of singling out big people. They made those seats that size because the vast majority of passengers can fit into those seats.

Might get canceled for this but oh well

What

Toothpaste on pimples. I had heard that it helped and as a desperate teenager I tried everything

Since Paul walker? You haven’t seen any fine ones since then? Okay…

But I’ll check it out then. I keep getting notifs from Netflix. Do I need to watch the og bridgerton to understand it tho?

i don't know if you said this to be mean or nice

This is the highest of compliments

You are a real ass bitch for posting this thread.

I can relate. I’m fully African American but I don’t relate to a lot of my community. I can’t imagine how you must have felt growing up in a blended family.

Folks are mad at Charles for becoming the king
