[NB] Sam Okyere speaks out about Uijeongbu High's blackface parody

[namidaone]

Those blackface students allowed others  to photograph them in a public setting.
Their eyes were covered with shades too so their identities aren't completely exposed.  
so idt Sam was wrong for showing that pic in his ig. 

Also just bc the one who made the coffin dance meme is ok with the parody, doesn't automatically mean the whole ethnic community where the coffin dance originated is ok with it.   
When it affects a community, they need permission fr the whole community. 
Something similar happened to a kpop grp before, and that grp deservedly got flack for it until they apologized.  
So these students and the netizens supporting them don't have an excuse.

East Asians on the other hand, weren't enslaved or colonized by white people, so this kind of ignorant display of racism will most likely will be met with condescendance. Not really the same sentiment.

Okay, not "never", but you have to contrast that time period with 4 millennia of Chinese history where they're the most important power of the region (and that's indeed why they call it "humiliation").

Doesn't look like condescension is the "heavy heart" feeling that Jeremy Lin was experiencing abt anti-Asian racists in the US.
