Little Prince ☆ 3,308 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 So, I recall seeing on Tumblr how a few Shawols were threatening to leave the fandom because Onew dressed up as a Mexican at one of their concerts. They said it was offensive and stereotyping all Mexicans. I was like wat. that's like child's play compared to other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kami_removed Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This is a little action compared to other things? Not really, this is basically like black face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofi 17,143 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 That was ignorant and insensitive...and yeah some people were offended, while others weren't. I honestly think he used the chest hair cause he was trying to find a "funny" way to cover himslef... but it was still blatant stereotyping so yeah..

Little Prince ☆ 3,308 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 This is a little action compared to other things? Not really, this is basically like black face. But with that mindset, wouldn't everyone who cosplays be considered offensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stab 4,072 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I saw it and was like, "oh crap. I know some people are gonna be offended." It doesn't offend me personally, but get why people would consider it ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qri 4,063 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 But with that mindset, wouldn't everyone who cosplays be considered offensive? No because Onew's costume was done with the intent of portraying another race in an attempt to be funny, which is not okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyHill's Comeback 2,080 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 If he didn't use the tape on his face I actually think it wouldn't have been offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimswamswum 1,063 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yes, it's unfunny. But, fuck those people. Other groups have been doing stuff like this for ages and no one calls their shit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoSARANGHAE 214 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It depends on the context of it all. Were they all dressed as someone from a different ethnicity?! (I.E trying to demonstrate the diversity in the fandom) If not, then yes. This is on the same playing field as black face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
