Robert Kelly's dog meat comment is a terrible racism.edit
Latest comment: 1 year ago5 comments2 people in discussion
Obviously, this has been reported even in the South Korean media. Dog meat-related controversial sessions should not be removed. Many Koreans think Kelly made inappropriate 'racist' (인종차별) tweets. Mureungdowon (talk) 11:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Since Robert Kelly has lived in South Korea for a long time, it is unlikely that he made such a tweet because he did not know it. I'm a South Korean, and I haven't seen anyone close to me who has eaten dog meat. Mureungdowon (talk) 11:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
The controversy that Robert Kelly is a racist is also mentioned in detail in Namuwiki in Korean language. He is obviously controversial in South Korea. #Mureungdowon (talk) 01:46, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Kelly's comment is to say eating spam is basically non-existent and eating dog is rare, which is apparently supported by the poll that found 84% haven't eaten dog and never would, ie 16% have or would. This doesn't appear to be worthy of inclusion and since I'm the second editor to remove your edit there doesn't seem to be consensus for you to add this information. I'll remove it for now but if there develops consensus on the talk page to add it then fine. Tikaboo (talk) 15:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
South Koreans accept other people's parable of dog meat as racist. The dog meat issue is often seen as a racial stereotype of South Koreans. Robert Kelly's speech was clearly a big controversy in South Korea, and many accused him of being a racist.Mureungdowon (talk) 22:12, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
