Can't wait for the @RecordingAcad to announce:
Best North American, English-Speaking European and UK Pop Performance
Because if Asian artists need a dedicated category, then surely artists from the US, Canada, UK and Europe should as well.
Unless, of course, the point is to keep calling one group "Asian" and the other group "normal."
kinda crazy how bts had to fight tooth and nails to get recognized by the industry by getting insane records/stability and yet other groups, who don’t even have 1% of bts success, are gonna get all the privileges bc bts paved the way for them
did y'all see the pattern
bts won vma - created kpop category
bts won bbma - created kpop category
bts won ama - created kpop category
bts nominated for grammys - created asian category
as joon said "For Asia, man, we paved the way" THEY LITERALLY DID.
BTS PAVED THE WAY
Tyler the Creator: “Half of me feels like the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment. Like, oh, my little cousin wants to play the game, let’s give him the unplugged controller so he can shut up and feel good about it.”
Timely as fuck. Full speech below.
the timing of a new “asian pop” category while a major asian act is having one of the most successful albums globally really exposes the problem: it’s segregation and not inclusion.
when non western artists are still underrepresented in major categories, it doesn’t feel like recognition for the asian music market, but containment. they deserve to win, but they cannot, so let’s give them a candy that excludes them a bit further. at least it looks pretty, right?
it’s unfortunate how the “how are you so shameless” line from aliens always hits.
The Grammys are receiving MASSIVE BACKLASH for Introducing the "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" Award.
People are furious that Asian artists are being separated from the International Level.
A song eligible for Asia category won't be eligible for any other category... and vice versa.*
They're not EVEN TRYING TO HIDE that the whole idea is to isolate you know who. Holy shit.
@RecordingAcad SHAMELESS
Notice how grammys announced this new category after seeing ARIRANG break major records that even bigger western artists wasn't able to break this year? Yeah, this is blatant racism.
