Article: "Korean in the Simpsons?" Welcoming signs of Korea in Hollywood TV

Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+641, -31] If there's ever Korean stuff in Hollywood TV, it's usually to make fun of us ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ not really happy to see Korean in the Simpsons at all ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

2. [+376, -12] The Simpsons is subcontracted to Korea so there has always been Korean in the episodes. And don't think that because Korean's featured in the Simpsons that it means anything positive.

3. [+189, -7] In the movie 'Vacation', the navigation talks in Korean ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ hilarious

4. [+115, -2] The actor Ken Jeong is actually a key figure in stereotyping Asians as being slow talkers with poor pronunciation and stuff
- He's probably the most hated actor among gyopos, his talk shows are a mess
- Right? He always portrays his Asian characters as being dumb

5. [+30, -1] Who cares if there's Korean text in Hollywood shows? Have you ever seen Americans notice that there's Korean writing on their TV shows?

6. [+16, -0] Considering the way Hollywood portrayed Korea in 'World War'... made us seem so backwards like we were still back in the Josun dynasty... That's still how foreigners view us today.

7. [+16, -0] Those signs are actually from an episode about K-Town but they made gochujang look like some Thai chilli sauce. To Yankees, Asian culture is all one and the same, just like how to our eyes, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czech etc all look the same.

8. [+16, -0] There's a lot of Korean in 'We Bare Bears' ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ and it's not in a negative way either so I like it

9. [+13, -0] 'We Bare Bears'~~ it's one of the hottest American cartoons lately and the main character's friend is Korean so there are a lot of scenes where the bears watch Korean dramas together ã…Ž

The only thing I know for sure: Between Mr. Chow and his show, Ken Jeong is doing no one any favors. :lol:

So, it's fine for them to make fun of other cultures in the name of comedy in variety shows, but they get mad when the same gets done to them.  :dave:

 

Hypocrisy sure is fun.

bear in mind that there are actually woke Koreans to generalize them is a big no no

The biggest disappointment to me is when Asian American shows that Stereotype themselves .. Kinda like how African American's do the same thing on occasion 

 

My best friend he can't stand Dr.Ken or Kim Jeong in general because of how he tends to stereotype Asian's its sort of why I dislike Tyler Perry films on how he portrays black women...

I just saw a video of Sam Okyere talking to a Korean audience about his struggle and they are pretty aware of this and all dont think the same so I kinda wish people wouldn't generalize them all as mindless sheep stuck in their racist ways because thats untrue
