I\u2019m not entirely sure why this came across my feeds, but it definitely did the trick of triggering my KvE radar and got the gears of wanting to write about it spinning pretty quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

TL;DR<\/a>, Korean pop star Ros\u00e9, most notably known for being a member of BLACKPINK, wins MTV Video Music Award for Song of the Year, for APT<\/em>, her solo track collaboration with Bruno Mars – and the celebrity circle jerk around her goes mild.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Ariana Grande wins Best Pop Song and everyone in the crowd reacts like new Jordans have been dropped in the hood.<\/span><\/p>\n

I understand that in the grand spectrum of western celebrity, Ros\u00e9, BLACKPINK and K-pop in general aren\u2019t entitled to the adulation that of those already entrenched in American culture, and when it comes down to it, Koreans aren\u2019t that well known among their peers at an American event.\u00a0 If this kind of event were held in Seoul, people would go gonzo over Ros\u00e9\u2019s award, but they\u2019d also probably go ballistic over all the Americans too because if there\u2019s one obnoxious thing about Korean culture is that they\u2019re so enamored and thirsty for American validation, that they kowtow fairly quickly, even when it\u2019s so not deserved.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what chapped my ass the most was Ros\u00e9\u2019s interaction with Daniel Ramos, one of the co-directors of the video.\u00a0 Ros\u00e9 tried to initiate some sort of celebratory hug\/embrace after winning fucking Song of the Year, and man denied her faster than a woman would shoot down an incel at a bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, nobody is required to return an interaction if they don\u2019t want to, but like bruh, Ros\u00e9 just won you a Song of the Year award, and he brushing her off like there was lettuce on his Subway when he specifically asked for none.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when Ariana Grande wins, at least what I\u2019d say is a lesser award, everyone in the audience gets out of their seats and is slapping fives and hugs and basically acting like they just witnessed Mac McClung\u2019s latest 10\/10 dunk at the dunk contest.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have no qualms with Ariana Grande, frankly I think she\u2019s quite talented and has a powerful voice that belts out some decent music relatively, but I\u2019m just trying to understand why there\u2019s that much disparity in respect in reaction between two talented pop stars other than nationality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fuck it, it\u2019s racism; even if it\u2019s not the malicious brand of it.\u00a0 It\u2019s typical disrespect for Koreans and what Koreans are capable of.\u00a0 Fuckin white folks and their cliques of whitewashed star fuckers all disrespecting Ros\u00e9 and denying her even the most basic of reciprocal respect in her moment of victory.\u00a0 I bet if Bruno Mars were with her, shit would\u2019ve been way the fuck different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would love to have a time machine to be able to tell her that everyone in that venue are a bunch of busters<\/a> that aren\u2019t worth her validation, and that she should take that VMA award and drop it in the trash like Alundra Blayze<\/a> and then go back to the Motherland where her talents would be recognized and respected.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s shit like this that makes me think the words Korea vs. Everybody<\/em>, and I feel like I should take it more seriously and maybe use that as my basis for putting my stamp on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
