Funny or "racist" ?

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

But yeah, wouldn't say it was racist.

[Morgan.]

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

[Cherie]

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.

[smudgie]

very funny.
To be honest I find him a bit creepy without the make up aswell.

[waterhog]

fantastic - what a make over.

[Amy Jade]

Neither really

But why didn't she go in fancy dress?

[Eddie.]

Nah. Don't think its racist...he didn't do anything racially offensive, it was all for good fun...

[Marsh.]

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.

[LukeB]

It’s more offensive than funny.

[Crimson Dynamo]

if you were dressing up as OJ Simpson you have to black up if you are white?

Which is probably why it's not much of a good idea?

[Tom4784]

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

[Jordan.]

I am OFFENDED

[Josy]

Don't see a problem

[Kizzy]

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 )
