“Shocking” News: A Japanese Idol is Racist Against Koreans?

It’s pretty common and obvious to know that Asians hate each other. Chinese hate Koreans and Japanese. Japanese hates Koreans and Chinese. Koreans hate everyone who isn’t them.

So why was anyone surprised to see that Reina Tanaka, Eri Kamei, and Sayumi Michishige, of Morning Musume. fame, were caught being racist? The above picture was posted on Reina’s blog (which is admirable after her scandal of breathing the same air as another man) with the comments as they slanted their eyes, “Who’s this? A Korean person.”

Somehow, in Asia, they don’t seem to really realize that each race may have more slanted eyes than the next. The Japanese seem to think this trait is only applicable to the Chinese and Korean. However, the Koreans think the same way about Japanese and  Chinese.

Of course we all know the truth – they all have fucking slanted eyes. But thanks to a wonderful thing called circle lens, and of course plastic surgery, they seem to think that only a “lower” race would have slanted eyes.

Quick to damage control, Up Front Agency (the agency behind Morning Musume.) immediately issued an apology before the Korean netizens could change out of their old adult diapers. Believe me when I say that Up Front Agency really are up front about their damage control.

From dating older, married men to saying, “I think wotas (the male equivalent of fangirl in Japan) are creepy as fuck” and even nominating Hitler as a “great man”, they are pretty up front with turning around and saying, “LOL I’M JUST MESSING WITH YA’LL. I don’t mean that!” Or to even out right firing the person in question.

However, since Reina is their current commodity (one of the lead singers in Morning Musume., having her own puzzle video game, her own anime — much more successful and less of a bitch than Koharu Kusumi) , they just made her and the other girls apologize.

Surprisingly enough, the Korean netizens were accepting of the girls’ half-assed and possibly non-sincere apology and chalked it up as, “They’re just bored! It’s totally fine to make fun of us!”

That’s probably because Girls’ Generation, KARA, and even 4Minute are dominating the charts on the Oricon, the Japanese music charts. And the Korean netizens are probably just laughing at them for their feeble attempts to get attention.

But, remember Beefcakes, the joke will always be on them.
