this isn't a comeback hint... it's a dance called the folk (hit the folk...... oh my god......

so, Admin Golden Maknae of melaninjungkook, are you saying that pale asians aren’t poc? good to know that you are excluding a large portion of Asians, who are still poc whether or not they are pale or not. even if your precious bts is pale, they are still poc. they are poc not because of their skin colour, but because they are not white. also, can I just say that as an asian myself, your obesession with their melanin is extremely creepy and fetishising. please stop and get educated.

What the fuck?? Pale asians exist and there’s no denying that but the large majority of South Koreans are not “pale” or light skinned and are actually pretty tan so they’re not leaving out a large portion of Asians. What you’re doing as an asian is leaving out all the voice of tan and dark skinned east asians that are fucking fed up with having to deal with colorism and whitewashing in the kpop industry and social life as a whole. Sure, colorism is part of my korean culture but that doesn’t make it right and as a korean I’m tired with having family pressure me into using skin lightening lotions to make myself “pretty” so recoloring blogs aren’t shitting on korean culture for being recoloring blogs. Just because being fair is considered the beauty standard in my culture doesnt make it justifiable to whitewash tan idols so stop taking away the voices of darker east asians and trying to justify whitewashing with a petty ass excuse like this one. Colorism is such a big fucking issue in Korea and wanting to see obviously tan kpop idols with their skintones isnt fetishizing especially when it brings comfort to tan east asians such as myself and when it affects tan idols’s self esteem to the point that they hate their skin color. Bts arent as tan as Hyorin but theyre still fucking tan whether you like it or not. Do I agree that a white person should be running a recoloring blog? No but I do have a fucking problem when asians such as yourself shit on recoloring blogs trying to help others when your own damn icon is whitewashed as fuck while youre only adding to the problem by trying to justify colorism. So sit your ass down, stay in your lane, and get yourself educated on the internalized problems of East Asians and Koreans setting the beauty standard to being pale while the majority of the country is tan.

how can ANYONE deny bts as being pocs??? they're koreans, koreans are Asian, Asians are poc. someone's skin colour doesn't equate them to being poc. maybe you can ask one of your fellow admins, Admin Ween to explain what i'm trying to say to you, considering how they understood me perfectly fine

??? the admin who made this post isn't even a poc. they're white. white as bread, white as mayonnaise. cracker white. I am South East Asian and know all the more about this subject, next

@exolucid @iconzones @hwehwa hi im admin ween from melaninjk but yeah I just wanna say I too get bad vibes from admin gm. Like why did some white decide to make a recoloring blog for a asian group? And when she gives her 2 cents on colorism… like… ur white.. she shouldnt speak over actual asian ppl on colorism…

especially considering how I, an asian, is offended and she still speaks over actual asians on this issue...
