It was a Korean actor that played Kim in that though.

But yeah, wouldn't say it was racist.

I can see why the offence would be there but I personally don't see the issue.

Can't see the issue, people take him off all the time, and I haven't heard anyone complaining, he is a scary character so perfect for Halloween

Maybe we should all get our knickers in a twist about that as well. Maybe that could be considered ‘racist’ by some too. For me it’s funny, but I don’t jump on the ‘racist’ bandwagon at every opportunity.

Dressing as him is fine.

Giving yourself hooded eyes is crossing the line. Would blackface be accepted?
No. So I don't see why Asian eyes would either.

Or spray tan, because that's making people look Brown.

Yeah because a sun tan is blackface. Everyone with a tan is doing so to mimic black people.

Do you ever get tired of making stupid comments?

No. That's called astonishment that someone is stupid enough to think blackface and a tan are the same thing.

Although it would surprise anyone that Isabelle was attempting to resemble a black lady. The colour was more akin to shrek.

The prosthetics crossed the line into yellowface. Simply dressing as him and wearing a wig would have been fine.

It's intentionally offensive, he wants to mock and offend him that's the difference.

I guess the question is, is it racist towards Koreans/Asians not necessarily Kim Jong-un, you know with the eyes and skin tone etc (I doubt anyone cares if Kim is offended tbf )
