Lil Pump starting a war via Instagram

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by frostey91 on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 and has 3 replies.
Mr. Pump the rapper known for Gucci Gang previewed a song yesterday where he uses metaphors about his eyes looking low like Yao Ming and used the ad lib Ching Chong the second time. The Asian community didn't think to highly of it.

Y'all gotta read the comments on this. A good portion has to be translated but he really struck a chord.

And I'm interested to hear your opinion about it.
Ching Ching is on a whole different level. I don't think he knew the gravity of what he did, however he's in a position of extreme influence despite his ignorance. Somebody on his label even the lady in the video should have stopped him from putting this out.

"Whole different level"? Explain.

I've heard rappers talking about their eyes looking low and Korean for example from smoking and faced no such bashing for it. That doesn't necessarily make it right.

If a prominent rapper of any other race talked about African American features it wouldn't fly. Ching Ching is like saying ni...er and then some.

The part that's also bad is fighting racism with racism in the responses.

Not a good look. I hope he sincerely apologizes.
