Drunken Tiger history shows that JK and the old school crew were no strangers to being vocal about some of the hypocrisy in Korean society. JK most recently reacted to racist comments made by netizens about his son, who is 1/4 African American and 3/4 Korean. Before these comments, JK had written about how when Tasha first came to Korea, she was outcasted due to racism and her inability to speak Korean well (years in Korea of course have changed this). After JK had appeared on TV with his son, net bloggers had made inappropriate racist comments about his son, and while Tasha’s rise as well as other “hapas-Koreans” fame have brought Korea a little closer to overcoming racism, some ignorance still resides. JK reacted strongly, stating his role as a father as his basis for defending his son (and with good reason!)

The comments are below:

“can’t be liked by everybody i know, there’s an article about Jordan, and some of them relpys make me sick,,,,talkin about race,” “talki bout his hair being nappy and he looks black, they prolly like 12, prolly yong kidz but hopefully they learn” “Comments are always like that but there are actually kids who say things like half black half black. Racism won’t disappear forever.” “racism, im sure they dont know no better,it’s ma fault for xposing ma son like that tho when they call ma son up to the stage i had a feelin” “cant believe the are going as far as using the N word, they need to get the ass whooped by they pops, ignorant ass younginz” “I know that half of the comments are written by kids who want attention but people still use the expression black.” “ha im used to bein hated / called all kinds of name it comes wit territory / but in the states i was called a chink ,N now the N word here” “they could hate all they could, im here for that im used to bein hated, chewed on, jk wack this and that, but can dey just C wat dey C,Love” “callin ma wife and me kid, nappy headed N***R , i wish they would see me in the street” “^^ I’m a father so I went crazy over hate comments. I’m sorry.” “peops are so lonely like me da would say anytihing behind the walls of matrix to say things that would get em attention,i pray for they soul”
