Hey Supporteveryone

I am American. I don’t have to recognize any heritage other than that.

I don’t have to be an idiot to know that of COURSE the magazine is going to defend itself.

If you really support everyone, stop trying to segregate based on language, what you perceive race
to be, and what ‘my place’ in it is. It’s great to be “Hyung this” and “Hyung that”, but this is AMERICA,
and I love ALL parts of it – not just the Korean parts.

There is innate racism in the way you responded.

Hip hop is AMERICAN – what, are you one of those folks who supports America’s Best Dance Crew
as long as the Asians win? The dancers use ‘yo’ and ‘word’ – are you telling me they are less Korean
because they do so? Are we not supposed to watch MTV now because we’re Korean? Am I not supposed
to live in the culture I was born in, because of ethnic background and what YOU consider to be good behavior?

I hang with EVERYONE, not just people who look like me or my Parents.

I support equality. I support questioning. I support using your brain. And if I WANT to respond, I will.

Also – if this wasn’t hitting a target – why would you all be so sensitive? If it wasn’t hitting home, why
would the magazine even issue a response?

I don’t hate anything except bad grammar and poor linguistic phrasing – both of which you seem to display
in abundance. If you can’t SEE that my response was embracing the Kanye comment by GOCHU
Defender, then you are humorless.

And…your math skills are for ___, because I thought ANYONE could count to FIVE.

Geez. How sad.

For the record, I tried to vote – and as many times as I was able to, there were days I was NOT able to because of the way it was set up, something SEVERAL people have commented on here. While I expressed frustration at the changing rules and format, I did NOT comment on any of the content of the videos in terms of artistic merit – just in terms of how they were submitted and the time frame.

Something that, IN AMERICA, we are allowed to do, yo?

I love that you all tell me to grow up and behave, why don’t you all grow up and pay attention?
