I just don’t think it’s that difficult to do research nowadays with how much information is out there on the internet. I’m not black but I was able to properly learn about the history of the hip hop scene because there are many black American YouTubers who put out educational content explaining everything (especially after the whole Kendrick vs Drake situation lmao). It’s really not that hard to google things (￣^￣).
Ok so chapter 76 proved me kind of wrong because at least it shows how Asian American are when it comes to understanding their roots, but damn I guess this girl is just a weird case. Also I’m pretty sure this girls story arc is basically slim shady 8 mile or something.
Yeah she’s like 3rd or 4th gen right? There’s no way she speaking full Korean.
No hate to the author but it’s pretty obvious the author never met anyone from the states and or didn’t bother to do the bare minimum research of Asian Americans plus the west coast rap scene as a whole. It’s probably created by a Korean for the Koreans who probably never bothered to learn about other cultures so they take this comic at face value.
But then again there has always been a huge online debate about the culture appropriation of Hip Hop culture in Korea and the lack of respect/acknowledgement of Hip Hop’s cultural influence. So I can’t blame how surface level everything is about this arc lol. I mean none of us (English/International readers) here are the target audience so I’m just going to at least vent on how this arc makes me feel to the internet _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):.
