that’s just being ignorant
Imagine someone not Korean making a love story between a Japanese and a Korean during the height of Imperial Japan. Koreans would be out for blood.
Well…make a change, read history of other races, learn? what we all should strive for is to be better that previous generations, stop making excuses
Honestly, if you can read on here, than you can read about world history. There are plenty of credible sources online to learn from.
Except the author went out of their way to educate themselves about the civil war (American History), so your perspective becomes automatically negligible. The author should’ve taken into account that they live in a mostly monolithic country where the only racism they’ll experience is online, so any nuance with race and systemic racism would be more difficult for them to grasp unless they actually went out of their way to educate themselves by talking to Black Americans and Native Americans. And if that weren’t a possibility, read a couple of books from the perspective of those individuals and how to decenter yourself from whiteness, as many Korean authors clearly have a problem with not doing.
I’m genuinely curious what happened here. I’m Asian and i srsly have no idea about America’s history whatnot. I only know a bit about black history of them being enslaved. Plus I have almost zero interaction to Hollywood media. Imo most of the readers are also asian so lack of knowledge about white and black ppl is normal, just like the other way round. The ppl who grew up in countries where they know the gravity of racism against black people may feel smtg different but no matter how many times i read that one chapter i see nothing. I don’t even know how many races are out there. People are people anyway. At least ppl in my country don’t think of too deep about other country or races’ history(mind u the textbooks don’t rlly focus on world history). Black and white people’s history is just not a sensitive topic to Asian countries at least. That’s just how a common Asian person raised in asia who mainly CONSUMES ASIAN MEDIA thinks.
