K-pop stars BTS share racial discrimination they faced

[Demovictory9]

K-pop stars BTS have spoken out about their own experience with racial discrimination in the wake of rising anti-Asian violence in the US.



"We recall moments when we faced discrimination as Asians. We have endured expletives without reason and were mocked for the way we look. We were even asked why Asians spoke in English," said the band in a statement posted on Twitter Tuesday.

"We cannot put into words the pain of becoming the subject of hatred and violence for such a reason."

Anti-Asian attacks have increased dramatically across the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic.

1. I still believe that was why they didn't get the Grammy

They had them perform live for the views from their strong fan base but wouldn't reward them for their accomplishments.


And if you aren't familiar with this group you are missing a lot of great music and performance.
