this sounds like an uncle tom who refuses to acknowledge that GD is racist as hell.......
Just like when I read someone talking about Taeyang trying too hard to "seem black" and they did a video response? I think it was a seoulbeats letter and they were just so pissed that they were calling him embarrassing, and think someone "wanting to be black" is a compliment and basically bastardizing a culture is okay. And they used the same "trying to be white" comparison. Using standardized English isn't a white thing, is practically a survival thing. More black people would use slang if we didn't think we'd be out of getting a job or it wasn't so glorified as being the respectable way to speak and write.
Some people really have no understanding of social issues at all.
