non-koreans saying “you’re not white” to koreans will never be the drag they think it is because koreans don’t want to be white😭 sorry to burst your little bubble 😭 If anyone in the room sees being white as some kind of superior status, it’s the non-korean making that comment x

자꾸 나한테 넌 백인이 아니야 라고 하는데 아무 타격이 없다 왜냐면 백인이 아니기 때문이다

Tweets like yours turn normal things sinister, which is why it's just another racist Brazilian tweet about Koreans. Again.

You're wrong about several things.

Social signals change with the times.

For example, Jello was high status when only the rich could afford refrigerators, since it was a food that required refrigeration. As soon as everyone could afford refrigerators, even the poor, Jello became poverty food because it's cheap.

Air travel was considered posh, now there are cheap flights, no one is impressed by it. Tans in the winter was a way the wealthy flaunted their ability to afford tropical vacations without the crassness of announcing it themselves. You could see on their faces the evidence of their wealth. Being tan in the winter among tan friends was an important status signal.

Same with tans in reverse in history. When it meant that a person worked indoors, they had better skin from lack of constant sun damage from 12 hours a day outside, over decades. (You falsely claimed it meant a person "didn't work" but this is untrue. Many people worked very hard indoors. They had jobs.)

In Korea, just like the rest of the world, in the 80s, air travel to warmer climates was expensive, so having a dark tan in winter was posh. As soon as everyone could afford plane flights, it was no longer status symbol, tans lost their cache. The same as everywhere else on Earth.

Your analysis of the situation is entirely incorrect. Koreans in 2026 do not attach any social status meaning to tanning and prefer not to tan because it's unhealthy. Koreans think he's handsome with his tan and do not feel negatively about it.

That tweet was insulting because it falsely accused Koreans of bleaching again, and repeatedly people from Latin America and Southeast Asia rile themselves up into a frenzy falsely imagining Koreans bleaching their skin and then attack Koreans for days on end. Koreans are sick of it.

calling koreans “yellow,” which is a label originating from eurocentric racial classifications, used to group asians and fuel racism in the 19th century. yellow is not a neutral description as u claim in the reply and your "national skin color system" carries the legacy of racism

[Adriana Abreu @_AdrianaAbreu]

What is happening to Koreans? The whole world knows abt the whitening culture in Korea. Brazil praised their natural color and now they are all outraged. Why do Koreans hate their own color?
Pale is not a color. Koreans are YELLOW.
Light or dark it doesn't matter it is beautiful

a thread of western kpop stans treating koreans with blatant racism/xenophobia!!

highlighting the irony of them openly stereotyping and expressing prejudice toward koreans while positioning themselves as enlightened ones to “educate” koreans: typical savior complex

[︎❤︎ @cnskskk]

calling out racism isn’t racism and that’s not what this person is doing. they're being racist and xenophobic themselves and even excusing racism for their liking.
the call is coming from inside the house. they're the perfect example of the thread.

[Lassie @solitudeaire]

Calling out koreans on their racism isn’t racism 😭 victim card DECLINED.

アニメキャラの人種論争もそうなんですが、肌の色であれこれ区別したがるのは多民族国家の傾向なんでしょうね
逆にほぼ単一民族の本邦や韓国は無頓着

[C. @eyeslikecapuli]

@jo_24_24 It’s insane bc they criticize SK’s toxic beauty standards yet they’re obsessed with the idols that belong to the industry that actively reinforces those toxic beauty standards. If I really hated something, I just wouldn’t support it at all… but hey that’s just me I guess

칭찬 받는 대상의 대다수가 기분이 나쁘다면 그건 잘못된 행동임을 알아야지
그게 칭찬이라고 우기고 웃고 넘기라 강요하는 건 또 하나의 폭력일 뿐임
당사자성도 없으면서 한국인의 본연의 모습은 이런 것이라고 정의내리고 바라지도 않은 걸 평가하고 간섭하는 습관을 칭찬이라고 하지 마라

[︎❤︎ @cnskskk]

thank you for finally acknowledging the fact that he did in fact leave the group because people been lying to themselves, purposely acting delusional, saying he's still part of enha!

[ؘ @evantozaki]

guess we all agree they ended on bad terms now that none of them congratulated him on his debut after being coworkers for six years😂 but i guess heeseung was the horrible person

[美雨 @miustream123]

Some of the most rational takes in this tiring argument so far come from Latin American Indigenous activist accounts. Racism on both sides have been awful, but their analysis on the disproportionate energy from Kpop fans regarding another country’s cultural aesthetics is sharp.

[︎❤︎ @cnskskk]

criticizing lookism isn’t the same as generalizing & stereotyping an entire ethnic group, being xenophobic, spreading hate, harassing korean people over their appearance. if anything, that's opposite of activism. HATE DRESSED UP AS CONCERN.

[︎❤︎ @cnskskk]

"some korean tells them" ⬅️and that's not even the case. koreans aren’t the ones going around unprovoked telling people outside their country how they should look. they simply dgaf. if anyone’s obsessively policing appearances and harassing people for looks, it’s non-koreans.

[C. @eyeslikecapuli]

@Zia_NGBB inferiority complex there that gets triggered when some Korean tells them “people like you will never be attractive here”

Like, I’m indigenous Peruvian, I know Koreans wouldn’t find me hot. Idgaf bc I have enough self-esteem to not care what ppl in another continent think of me

[︎❤︎ @cnskskk]

and i’m not saying lookism doesn’t exist in korea. it absolutely does, and it’s a serious problem. but that’s a separate issue from non-koreans feeling entitled to police koreans’ appearances and dictate what they should naturally look like.
