SHINee ignites RACIST scandal with anti-Native American performance



Boy band "SHINee" from SM Entertainment has been spotted being RACIST in a new performance in Fukuoka, Japan.

The boys are seen in the beginning being attacked by some supposive Native Americans who are dressed in tacky and stereotypical native outfits. They are then placed in shackles and taken captive by these backup dancers who are mocking the Native American culture. They make calls reminiscint of the time when Native Americans were jokes and ridiculed as barbarians. Onew and the boys then continue to dance with them in a Native-mocking fashion that is both untalented and unattractive and uncouth because of its racist undertones.

The video has already garnered 3 dislikes and it's becoming a major controversy on places like Twitter where one user said, "SHINee bein racist as fuck what else is new" and "u think after korea recognized their racism when i made my first editorial they change? no they just find another culture to degrade"

I'm not so inclined to believe anything you say

Let's not take it that far, I don't need your IP...

It just sounds completely ridiculous to say that almost no one in Jpn is racist (unless that was a joke). Either you've got extreme blinders on, you're of a more "acceptable" ethnicity/race to many Japanese people, or you live in a freaking oasis if you hold true to your previous statement.

Oh, I see. I can't speak to whether or not that's how they truly are, but I will say there are fewer who are as overtly racist (but, tbh, I don't follow many mainstream Japanese musicians and I don't look into idols' activities enough to speak any further).
