Racist and xenophobic

“The most recent episode of this show was shockingly racist and xenophobic. The host invited on a white American k-pop stan, with no actual musical knowledge or expertise, to serve as a so-called “expert” on k-pop. This person is literally just a typical biased fan pretending to be some kind of journalist and she has a long history on social media of vile attacks on the K-pop artists she is NOT a fan of as well as a history of fetishizing and exoticizing Asians. The guest and host proceeded to trash a Korean artist for singing in English and accused him of losing his Korean roots, as though these two white Americans are somehow the arbiters of Korean musical or cultural authenticity. The guest also made racist comparisons between Korean and white artists, literally stating “why would I listen to a Korean sing like Justin Timberlake when I can listen to Justin Timberlake” while the host laughed. It’s horrifying that this was published under the auspices of the New York Times. You need to do a better job of vetting your guests and take down this vile racist garbage.”

“Crisis of Critique? Def not at the New York Times Popcast. The podcast provides a consistent line of analysis and commentary regarding the pertinent issues of Pop. It tracks the changing paradigm of pop music, gives you some nice end-of-the-year top-x lists, and awards rundowns.”
