A Japanese influencer with more than 2 million followers on Instagram has come under fire online for making a racist eye gesture mocking Ateez member San’s performance at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Local media reported Friday that the influencer, who goes by the name Gamix, uploaded a video Thursday recreating the K-pop singer’s dance performance to the song “Bad.”

In the video, Gamix wore a shirt made to look like the Atletico Madrid jersey that San wore during a ceremonial kickoff before a match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Aug. 9. A photo of San wearing the shirt was displayed at the bottom of the video.

All so-called “influencers” are pathetic.

So a Japanese made slant eyes to a Korean and everybody got offended?

But I can understand.

There was nothing but outrage when I whipped out my big cack and swing it around at the group of black guys.

Hmmm… “The word cack is an informal or slang term that primarily means excrement, nonsense, or to defecate, and it also refers to a soft baby shoe. It derives from Middle English and Latin roots.”

Was it one of these?
