racist statementsOn Wednesday, the Bayern 3 radio host apparently took issue with the K-pop superstars' cover of Coldplay's"Fix You," dubbing the performance"blasphemy" while suggesting that the group should be punished by"vacationing in North Korea for the next 20 years.
Subsequently, Bayern 3 issued a weak apology in which they claimed Matuschik was just someone who expresses"his opinion clearly, openly, and unvarnished," per a translation by"In this case, he overshot the mark in his choice of words in an attempt to present his opinion in an ironically exaggerated manner and with exaggeratedly feigned excitement, and thus hurt the feelings of the BTS fans," the station said, before mentioning that Matushick has been involved in refugee aid...
"But, as he assured us, this was in no way his intention," Bayern 3 continued."He only wanted to express his displeasure about the above-mentioned cover version."in which they continued to"stress that Matthias' social engagement to promote a peaceful togetherness among people is testament to his conviction that everyone must be treated equally — regardless of their nationality, culture, skin color, sexual orientation or religion.
"I have given this a lot of thought over the past few hours and understand and accept that my words racially offended many of you, especially the Asian community," he said."That was never my intention, but I realize that, in the end, what matters is only how words are perceived — not how they were intended."
Still, the fact that it took both Bayern 3 and Matuschik so long to come to this conclusion is quite troubling as it underscores a level of complacency and a refusal to immediately acknowledge and address the harmful racial implications of his comments, especially when viewed next to Matuschik's initial statement toAdding to this problem is the fact that Matuschik isn't the only person with a platform saying this kind of stuff, seeing as howBTS were carrying the coronavirus during their...
Are we not addressing the fact Sal Governale made the same statement from a later post directed at bts? This should not be condoned on any platforms. Freedom of speech isn't a picket for racial slur or addressed hateful opinions.
So well written! 💜

One of the only few pieces I've read that tackled the issue for what it is -- racism. Thank you!!!
Sparkle_Moony That's what I call great research!!! A professional written article!! Bravo!!
Exactly. Racist and xenophobic It's not a joke, words matter. And why is he 'joking' like this so casually? COVID, North Korea those are not joking words at all And it's not because we didn't like his 'Fix You Cover Opinion' RageAgainstRacism NoChanceForRacism bayern3

There are whole ass systems that work to harm marginalized groups and the media-- one of the most powerful of those structures-- has a responsibility to report POC stories with our favor in mind-- if only because the idea of neutrality in these scenarios benefits the oppressor

Does someone know the names of the moderators of bayern3 who moderated the recent segment about cancel culture instead of doing a deep dive into the racism and xenophobia of the remarks? We should send this their way bayern3

I just an observer no particular issues: Yet : 1) Trumps called the China virus - bcos US had heavy debts with China ! 2) China Japan Korea are ahead of the western world in economic perspectives ! 3) Asians are moving forward no matter what ! Who are to blame here !
borasaekfarmer Thanks and Jungkook loves you, and thanks for him voted Sexiest Man Alive.
'So while Matuschik's knee-jerk reaction was to attribute the backlash to people being upset with his 'opinion,' as many have continued to tell him since, 'Racism is not an opinion' and we should all stop tolerating it as such.' Asians are talking, but they can't hear 💜 BTSARMY

Yes! It’s shameful to see how many people deny this and act as though he wasn’t the one behaving like a rabid fan by using racism & xenophobia to ‘stan’ his group. Then to gaslight the predominantly female fanbase adds a whole other layer to the insidiousness of it all.

And the radio host benefits from systemic racism when people consider his weak non-pology sufficient enough to offset his disgusting and not even funny rant. BTS and everyone within an earshot are supposed to forgive him because he once did an unrelated bit of charity? Pfft.
Exactly
caroli_u Exactly why the media coddling him....... The narrative that its his opinion and we overeacting is shameful. But let him say somethin like that abt a white artist........ Im sure the media will call it out QUICKLY.....
