Let me give you a few examples: + Show Spoiler + - The setting for this MV is so American inspired. Cheerleaders and American Football. + Show Spoiler + - Hummer, Basketball shirts and Snapback caps. + Show Spoiler + - It would not have surprised me to see John Travolta make a cameo appearance in this video. + Show Spoiler + - Harley Davidson and leather jackets. + Show Spoiler + - The setting in this MV is obviously heavily inspired by western architecture I am not trying to judge anyone here, but it is very obvious that a lot of Korean K-pop idols is very influenced by Western culture, and American culture in particular. Well, white people do tanning to look like Asian. White people shave their hair chest, legs, and beard in order to look clean like Asian. White people do eat sushi. White people eat Chinese food with chopstick. White people drive Honda and Toyota. What's the difference Some people just don't know reality. Let me tell you about an Asian TV show from Japan. I once saw a show in which the hosts dressed up in all kinds of costumes on a TV talk show. One dressed up as a ninja, one as a superman, one as a teacher, a prostitute, a fireman, an African skin painted black. One of them also dressed up as a western man with skin painted white wearing a yellow wig, a giant plastic nose, yellow eyebrows, and yellow hair chest. This is how Asians view westerners in Asia. They view westerners as some giant, rare hairy alien that you don't see everyday on the street in Asia and that you wanna take a picture with. Not trying to be a butt hole here, but this sure disappoints a lot of people here. | ||

In those videoes there were no doubt that the K-pop idols were actively trying to mimic western culture. People don't tan to look more healthy, not to look like asians. White people who tan does not even get the same skin color as asians. And to say that white people shave in order to look like asians is flat out ridiculous, because asians wouldn't even look so clean if they didn't shave themselves. Honestly those two examples are really horrible. It is however true that white people eat Japanese and Chinese food, even with chopsticks sometimes, but that is not equal to trying to mimic their culture. People in asia eat burgers and pizza aswell. And yes, we drive Japanese cars and use Japanese and South Korean electronic devices aswell. But they use Western brands aswell.. I just read Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami in which one of the characters were a famous Japanese actor. And you know which luxury brands he used? BMW (German), Rolex (Swiss), Patek Philippe (Swiss), Maserati (Italian) and Ferrari (Italian). | ||

It's not necessarily a race thing, its the fact they they were a US puppet state for years before they finally were able to establish their own leadership | ||
