I guess in Brazil they haven’t gotten the memo that you are not supposed to make slit eye jokes about Asians:

Fans of a rookie K-pop band have criticized a Brazilian TV show host for disrespecting them on his program by making a “joke” derogatory to Asians.
Raul Gil, host of musical and variety TV show “Turma Do Vovo Raul” broadcast on SBT, angered fans after four-member band KARD were guests on the show on July 15.
The joke was sparked after Gil asked the DSP Media band that debuted this month if there was a romantic relationship among the band of two men and two women. They all said no, which drew shouts from the excited audience.
The host then jokingly asked the crowd whether they would marry the Koreans, adding, “Your eyes will become smaller if you date these Koreans,” making slit eyes with his both hands. [Korea Times]

When you call the skinny kid fat, he just laughs at you.
Nobody yells racism unless they are secretly worried you have spoken an uncomfortable truth.

Now they know how certain others feel when Koreans laugh at their shitty “comedians” doing blackface eh? :hmm:
