BTS Brings Anti-Asian Hate Crime Awareness in White House Visit – Opinion

BTS, The K-Pop boy band whose popularity is so insanely high among its tween and early teen audience it’s guaranteed Joe Biden would cheerfully It is possible toart World War Three to have 1/100^th of 1 percent as many fans — not counting the media, of course — visited the White House today (May 31^st). The band’s visit was not for a new album or tour promotion, but rather to highlight the uncomfortable truth of ongoing violence against Asian Americans.

Following the band’s appearance at the White House press briefing, during which the members proved themselves far more adept at public speaking in both English and Korean than press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the members had a private meeting with President Biden, highlighted by BTS using a globe to show the President where Korea is and repeatedly reminding him that regardless of how many times he asked, no, they are not The Who.

The visit was not cheap, but it is a great way to highlight a worrying trend in unprovoked attacks on Asian-Americans living in American cities. RedState colleagues Mike Miller and Brandon Morse also wrote last year about attacks on Asian-Americans and the responses. Although news coverage is focusing on other topics lately, it hasn’t stopped the problem from being covered, as shown in this San Francisco report just a few weeks ago. illustrates.

Alongside physical assaults, the intellectual assault against the Asian-American community by the left, demanding it embrace the soft bigotry of low expectations and not receive the logical reward of academic excellence’s pursuit, has been going on for quite some time. Alex Parker of RedState wrote earlier that MIT had stopped ignoring SAT scores when applying for admissions in 2022 after realizing other schools were reaping much greater rewards.

The College Fix noted that Steven Hayward (UC Berkeley) has a unique teaching style. NotThe reverse is explicable by the wake explanation, which includes archenemies.

“I have a hunch that MIT’s decision was driven by competitive pressure, namely, that its arch-rival for science supremacy in academia — CalTech — might start to leave MIT conspicuously behind if MIT continued down the road to politically correct admissions practices. CalTech has never embraced affirmative action admission dogma, and hence has a larger Asian student body than peer universities.”

BTS, as an entity in music, is rarely mentioned as often as Bob Dylan and The Beatles. However, it is refreshing to watch the band’s handlers make use of its fame as a force for good. In a society increasingly determined to rip itself apart along racial lines, may God’s language of music — yes, even when performed by a boy band — help spread love and acceptance’s truth among those with ears to hear.
