In come the I don't think making a joke about how your friends hair looks is a bad thing.

 

[maruberry]

I'm not getting into my opinions if having that hairstyle is OK or not. Talking purely about the joke, I think it is fine.

If you think your friends hair looks ridiculous I think there is nothing wrong with making fun of it in a friendly way. If you think your friends hair looks funny, guess what, I still think it is fine to make fun of it.

This joke wasn't directed at black people or their culture, it was directed at that hairstyle looking funny on Chenle's head. In no way was that joke direcetd at black people or their culture.

Spoiler

i don't ask to challenge but simply out of curiosity, what is bad about this situation?
I could see if the joke was a rude one or insulted the people who predominetly where that style,
but i am not informed enough on this topic to know what is wrong here

i'd prefer not to ask this question publicly since it seems i'm in the wrong, but hopefully at my expense someone else learns too

Can't tell you, because I don't see how what they are doing is bad in any way and I don't agree with the people who do!

I was a tiny bit disappointed ngl but I still wouldn't classify it as cultural appropriation either. They aren't insulting black people wearing the hairstyle but Chenle wearing the hairstyle (in a joking manner) and I think that's two different things.

Yikes....

I don't think these boys went out of their way to insult the origins of the hair. Actually, they're probably unaware of the origins. They were just poking fun. I don't know man, if you want to be insulted, you can be. But, let's be real, I'm pretty sure there are more important things in your life to be worried about.

I mean chenles hair was pink and braided, I can see the why he made the octopus joke.
It's not like he said the style was disgusting, or mocked anyone, it's a non issue.​

Easily offended society, they just want to feel attacked what can you say.

What do I want to feel attacked for? I'm black, I get called the n word enough for this to not even mean a thing to me

 

[Poetry]

Stylists should just learn to not use that hair style.

 

[mysteric]

While the remark could be interpreted as offensive, I don’t think it would quite qualify as cultural appropriation.
Just my two cents.

 

[Elmo]

It is astounding that they are SO ignorant to a subculture that puts money into their pocket. 🙄😔
It is no secret that black artists and creators are behind many diff kpop songs, and they can't even try and use their smart phone to not be problematic!

Jesus Christ, people just wake up these days with one though only. How could I get offended today?

What they did was wrong period.

No it wasn't. They are making fun of their friend. They are not culturally appropriating a thing. I don't think they are even aware of the roots.

Ok, as a POC I personally didn’t find get offended over it but I can definitely see why another person would. What he said was very ignorant but we gotta also remember the fact that he is from Korea. People can’t just assume that he knows not to make jokes like that because he is simply not educated on the culture. Should he be canceled over this? No, that’ll be absurd. But should we teach him not to say things that could potentially hurt international fans? Most definitely. Then again I simply see it as a friend making fun of another friend (and I saw somewhere that he actually didn’t say this himself but instead it was a comment from k-nets) but that’s me, people are gonna get offended and we have to acknowledge that what he said might’ve been offensive to some, but it was not “cultural appropriation” or him “being racist” it was simply just ignorance.
I wish these same people would be making a big fuss over the fact that SME is blatantly mistreating their foreign idols right in front of our faces, but that’s my take on it

It's been happening for years
