TMZ Reporter Caught Up In Racism Uproar in Korea
I consider this more or less stupid than racist:
U.S. celebrity gossip channel TMZ is under fire over the “racist” comments of a reporter who mocked a K-pop star who spoke in English.
A video clip of the segment has gone viral among Koreans.
The TMZ segment, which mainly deals humorously with celebrity stories, aired last Saturday ㅡ showing K-pop girl group EXID member Junghwa greeting the TMZ crew in English, which the reporter mocks.
TMZ staff instantly show disgust at the reporter’s comments.
As of Wednesday, “TMZ racist” was among the top 10 searched words on Korean web portal Naver, with bloggers and news outlets blasting the U.S channel for its comments. [Korea Times]
