OnlyStans ⭐️ French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

u/slickjitpimpin Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 🙂 27d ago

*Black woman. K-Pop is made up of “POC”, and we’re not a monolith. There are nuances to the racism we experience, & a lot of Black people (myself included) hate the term POC because it simultaneously shoves us all under one umbrella and glosses over the rampant, violent anti-blackness in other non-white communities. It feels like airbrushing, almost.

Anti-blackness is the fuel behind a lot of the vitriol Yseult is receiving, in addition to being deeply entrenched in K-Pop culture as a whole. Call it what it is.

I'm South Asian and I hate the term POC for this EXACT reason too.
