TaeKook x Rasta hats (fake dreads)

I haven’t seen too many people talk about this but from what I’ve read already, some people are either very offended by this or not offended at all. Here’s what I’d like to say on this entire situation.

Everyone (us black kpop fans) has the right to be either offended or not. Whether you still like TaeKook / BTS is up to you and I’m not going to shit on you for whatever opinion you may have. Personally, I am neutral over this incident. I don’t really find this offensive at all, but I can see why others (esp Jamaican fans) are upset.

I don’t find this to be some racist cultural appropriation occurrence because they didn’t mock black people or Jamaican culture in any way. Jamaicans I know personally were not offended either when I explained the situation. These hats are used as tourist attractions. They were given to them at a Jamaican restaurant and I’m sure the owners wouldn’t just give them out if he/she knew it would be an issue or something deemed racist. It’s like when you go to a new country and wear things of that culture to show appreciation or respect. It’s like when I wore a traditional Cheongsam (Chinese dress) to a Chinese festival to show appreciation and interest of their culture. All the Chinese there really enjoyed me and complimented me, revealing they had no problems with it.

However, I can understand from the negative viewpoints as well. Taehyung and Jungkook aren’t Jamaican and of course people will dislike the fact that they’re wearing those hats without (most-likely) knowing anything about Jamaican culture. This can still be viewed as something racist whether they meant it or not. It’s up to you and your own thoughts..

I just see this as the boys putting up a show on for the fans and being silly. If Tae and Kook are aware that this event hurt some fans, it would be greatly appreciated of they made some sort of sincere apology because at the end of the day, all fans matter and fans who are insulted deserve it.

Just don’t rudely call people out for having a differentiating opinion because as I said before, everyone has a right to be offended or not. If you want to argue against someone else’s views, be respectful about it and have your facts together. And if you’re not black/Jamaican you don’t have a say in this,period.

I hope you read and understood this well, have a nice day ~
