It's sad that the creator (Lee-Jin Joo PD) has left CJ ENM. My hopes (quality) for season 3 just went down. She…
i agree. i haven't seen Pink Lie, but i'm so bummed that the og PD left :( her approach to transit love was so fresh and outdid so many other dating variety shows i've seen, making TL my favourite variety show. i would've liked to see her continue to build on her previous work with her own unique ideas and personal touch in new seasons. i respect her decision but the PD switch has really dropped my expectations for s3
the term "person of colour" has nothing to do with someone's skin tone. it is a symbolic and political term used to categorize people's ethnic backgrounds. Essentially, anyone who is NOT Caucasian or of European descent is considered a person of colour, which includes you. This term can be thought of as an outcome of European/Western colonization of countless Eastern countries. Descendants of European heritage are simply referred to as white or caucasian; this is to starkly differentiate their histories from the histories of people of colour. Again, it does NOT refer to skin tone, but rather one's ethnic heritage.
The argument you're making right now very heavily parallels the argument made by the original person you responded to. You told the original person that they're not in the position to judge whether a word is a slur or not, and yet you're making that judgment yourself about other slurs. As I said earlier, it is not up to you how slurs against other people should be used and in which contexts. The power to reclaim those words belongs to them only and other people should be respectful of that.
I urge you to think more critically about the harmful impacts of using discriminatory language when it is not your place to do so. We can speak to our own experiences and use those as examples, but we should not speak for others.
Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. Have a good life.
don't worry, I understood your point perfectly and agree that the original user should have not used a derogatory abbreviation of Japan. However, my point is that you could've addressed the problems with that term without YOURSELF using slurs, like the n-word. It doesn't matter that you were providing an example or were trying to explain the harm of using derogatory language. It is hypocritical and problematic to call out someone for using a slur whilst yourself using a slur. The context or your intentions don't matter here; impact is greater than intent. As a person of colour yourself, you should understand this better than anyone else.
you could've made this point without using discriminatory language yourself... unless you're chinese/korean/black, you shouldn't be using slurs at all.
i was so confused about what some of the untranslated terms being used in the drama meant (e.g., Cheongbugwan), so thank you for this explanation!! very insightful and detailed article :)
