Acceptance speech at the Oscars that sparks racism controversy

'K-Pop Demon Hunters' won the Best Original Song with 'Golden,' and EJAE came up to give the acceptance speech. While another person was in the middle of his speech, the broadcast suddenly cut to commercials.

Of all things, they cut off the acceptance speech of the Asian winners without hesitation, which is f*cking pissing me off.

+) In case you're curious, here's a video of EJAE's acceptance speech (The controversial part has been cut out)

COMMENTS:

-The Oscars always do that, regardless of race.

-I think people are being a bit too sensitive. They do that to everyone, regardless of race. I wonder how many people even know about the Michelle Yeoh-Emma Stone controversy.

-I think that's more like an award discrimination.

-Yeah, they're famous for doing that. That's really rude.

-Rather than racism, they've always been rude to anyone not winning the main awards. At this point, it's a tradition.

-It's not racism, it's an award discrimination. They don't cut off the speeches of the major awards' winners. They only cut off acceptance speeches of the minor awards' winners.

-They're always rude like that, except for the major awards' winners. This doesn't just happen to 'Golden,' it happens every year.

-EJAE's speech wasn't cut off. They cut it right when the next person was about to speak. I feel bad for him.

-I've watched the Oscar a lot and this actually happens a lotㅠㅠ I understand why people are upset, especially since he's Korean.

-They always do that. Even foreigners say the Oscars are really rude for this and apologize on their behalfㅋㅋㅋㅠ

-I feel like the cut it off when the other person started talking because EJAE is the only famous one.

-That's so freaking rude.

-Is there ever a time they aren't being racist?

-Which part of this is being racist?

-Is this your first time watching the Oscars?ㅋㅋ
