Why do my white kpop friends have bangs?

4 Comments

So I myself am not into KPOP, but I do have bangs, it’s only normal because my family’s gave them to me ever since I was 4, my whole entire asian family has bangs. It’s like bangs are stuck to our heads.

What’s weird is that I noticed how all my white friends at school got bangs after talking about some KPOP groups like Bigbang, or GOT7. They all have bangs and I’m pretty sure some of them have even dyed their hair black.

Honestly why the bangs? It’s hard to find someone without bangs that’s into korean pop, and I myself would get rid of my bangs if I could be patient enough for them to grow out.

I think the trend to follow East Asian beauty has gone around in my school. More people have bangs, more people have those
tinted lips, and supposedly more of my friends are putting tape on their eyes to make them chinkier.

Imagine standing in line and hearing your friend say “wow I wish I was asian, I just really love how they look.”

Is it everybody’s goal to be asian these days? What’s even happening with my school?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    The concept of racial and ethnic appropriation is a counter productive sjw term for shared ideas. What should be viewed and used as a positive learning and thus sharing from other cultures is labeled as negative for some reason. Cultures should be flattered others want to emulate them.

    The human culture shared experience and growth leads to bigger and better things with a diversity of ideas. To insist on cultural isolationism will lead to hate and a lack of progress.

    We are very fortunate to be able to share and grow in these modern times as opposed to back in the day when things were taken, and people destroyed.

    White people in America celebrating "taco Tuesday" or cinco de mayo should be viewed as a positive, a way for people to create common ground and improve relations, not viewed as some form of modern colonialism. Same goes for non Koreans wearing bangs? (As if that is new and specifically Korean...)

    In my personal observations, it's a side effect of how we treat things from other cultures.

    Instead of just enjoying it, people try to *join* it. Like how some white people who like rap try to act stereotypically black, or how non-Japanese anime fans tend to use words like "kawaii".

    Chinkier? I think you’re a little confused.

    I guess they think it's cute to pretend to be Asian school-aged girls, but you already know that.

    This situation is another example of how fine the line between simply following fashion trends, and acting cringe-worthy is.
