ik it’s not serious & people are just joking but assigning fake ethnicities to kpop idols or just anyone in general doesn’t sit well with me?

welcoming explanations & different perspectives to this topic btw, I wanna know what y’all think

my thoughts as of right now is that I’m glad & grateful for non-asian kpop stans who relate to idols & have their own jokes and fun, but I can’t help but feel that it’s problemstic when it’s taken too far since it might make asian identities look erasable

on the flip side, I do make jokes like “[certain non-asian] is invited to boba hangouts/has the c-slur pass” etc. personally wouldn’t go as far as calling a non-asian an asian as a joke tho. idk. then again idk if that’s a normal thing in other cultures & im not trying to offend

p.s. for first tweet, meant race/ethnicity not just ethnicity
