what shawols can do and educate themselves on in order to also educate and hold onew (jinki) accountable for his recent vlive that had a tipi (teepee) in the background — a thread made but a Native.
personally, i don't think emailing is effective just because of personal experience, but i will still be posting a template later in the thread once i make one. please stay updated with that later.
for more context: jinki did a birthday vlive and he had this tipi set up in the background as a prop.
from my understanding as i was asleep for this vlive and don't know much except what shawols have told me; jinki set this up himself with the help of staff. he also apparently called it an "indian tent".
this is something jinki really needs to be educated on. i understand the lack of knowledge of Indigenous cultures within korea, but this is unacceptable.
if you're not educated on why this is insensitive, please take the time to read this thread that's linked! it's made by an actual Native and explains properly the severity of this. https://twitter.com/vopebfs/status/1337842177527980034
i also have a thread that goes into depth on why Indigenous cultural appropriation within kpop should be taken more seriously. https://twitter.com/nunaraq/status/1329284174612717569
and this is a carrd on more in-depth explanation on why Indigenous CA isn't okay! https://sourfavewantstobeindig.carrd.co/
if you have bubble, PLEASE message him about this!!! i personally think that would be more effective than emailing sm!!!
