James Eppler, an anchor at Gray Media-owned KJTV in Lubbock, was reading a story about the BTS-Oreo cookie collab when things presumably went off-script. https://t.co/mCub8yGo9Z

News Anchor Makes Bizarre 'Death To America' Joke Over BTS' Oreo Collab https://t.co/fS7iE0eGcw

How incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional of James Eppler, employed on Good Day Lubbock under @GrayMediaGTN @fox34 @KCBD11 to make such a horrible joke during a segment of the show.

There is never a time when that comment would be funny or appropriate. It’s especially egregiously racist when directed toward the South Korean group BTS. Perhaps you are completely unaware that South Korea is a US ally? For absolutely no reason other than your lack of class you’re created inflammatory and insulting moment in time the internet will never forget.

You are a complete embarrassment to the State of Texas and the US. I truly hope you are fired. If you feel comfortable saying that on camera I can’t imagine what you are comfortable saying off camera.

Hiding your profile and deleting content isn’t going to undo what you did. You’re a grown man who should know better.

🚨 We are demanding accountability from @KCBD11 and morning anchor, James Eppler @JamesEppler for his unacceptable and racist remark made on-air about BTS.

While discussing the new @BTS_twt x @Oreo collaboration, Mr Eppler commented the cookie designs spelled out “Death to America.”

This was not humor. It was ignorant, disrespectful, and harmful rhetoric directed not only at BTS, but also at millions of Korean and Korean-American people who already face harmful stereotypes and xenophobia. Casual racism towards Asian artists and communities should never be normalized or dismissed as a “joke.”

BTS have spent years promoting love, unity, and cultural connection across the world. They, and the communities they represent, deserve the same respect any other global artists would receive.

We expect:
• A public acknowledgment and apology
• Accountability from the station and anchor involved
• Stop using racist rhetoric as a punchline

Do better.
