A Kpop show without Korean/Asian males is like a Hip hop show without Black males.
How ridiculous would it be if Nickelodeon created a Hip Hop show for kids, and there was 0 black males on it?
I didn't even know how they get away with such a clean and obvious example of discrimination against Asian males. Nobody at any point in the top management decision processes was like
"Hey, this is wrong. Why are we discriminating against Asian males so much? Can we really attribute the absolute invisibility of Asian males in media to lack of talent, or is it institutionalized discrimination?"
or even if racism is intrinsically built into those guys,
"Hey, Thomas, I know you are like 'I will never have an Asian guy on my show', and 'I know we want to perpetuate fetishism on Asian females, permanently typecast the whole race as feminine', but this is getting too obvious. People are going to say something. They are going to point this out."
Hollywood, when can you stop being so bigoted so that we can move on into the 21st century?
