Lol this is so hypocritical of them, specifically wrt to BTS they won't shy away from capitalising and earning from their Muslim fans. Why jungkook performed at Qatar?Why? he shouldn't have if they don't like Muslims. The major controversy was ban of pride flags and BH still sent him there, aren't they allies of lgbt?? But no, they won't lose a single chance of earning money or fame. They are nobody's allies. Its high time Muslim countries must bycott these losers.
On the other hand, the narrative of Muslim being the extremist, I think one must look deeply into their own shit as how their own people conspires against themselves(insert 9/11) ,and mass eradicate Muslims into their countries(Iraq, Afghanistan etc),also in other countries (insert newzealand mosque shooting) but no western ppl are tolerant pfft. SK is crying crocodile tears as their population growth is dropping,every other video discusses this and they talk about inviting foreigners but they be picky about it.
At least SEA and south asian Muslim fans must bycott them , SK people are highly racist against them. I've seen twitter army who were spewing their own venom against Muslims in disguise. Some people here are like this too.I'm disappointed in young Muslim fans who are still defending and blinded by these guys, its a shame.
I wouldn't take it too personally. East Asians hate everyone equally, even other East Asians. They hate blacks, but steal their music, style and culture, sending it back to them and accuse them of xenophobia if they complain. Religion is mocked, and culturally significant items are used as an aesthetic.
Every culture is seen as a commodity, and they get excused for obvious racism, because 'they didn't know any better'. The best internet in the world is in Korea and Japan. They know but don't care to do anything differently.
I saw an English textbook with a conversation between two Black men, one recently released from prison. They used the n word and it was full of stereotypes. If we did the same, we would be forced to apologize. Foreign workers are treated like trash.
Southeast Asians are used as piggy banks and used for streaming, as if they would have a tenth of the same success without them. They carry kpop on their backs and are treated as less than and discriminated against. Thai, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian and other Southeast Asian fans are why kpop is popular, and how they sell out 20-30,000 seat arenas.
I also agree that the West has a lot to answer for. Our governments have exploited and colonized the Mena region and now it's come back to bite us in the butt. A lot of us thought the Arab Spring would improve things but it led to a never ending flow of refugees and misery beyond almost anything seen before.
European countries will soon expell their Muslim citizens because they've had enough of the violence and attacks. I don't think there's a solution that will make anyone happy. As my own country knows, if a region is experiencing poverty and turmoil, people will migrate where there's hope.
