"Need to speak up how I think about discrimination. As a asian, as a this kind of painter. People told me to more be careful about this topic tho.
Reason I paint black people, is because I always liked HipHop music and its mostly from black people and culture. It felt like I got present from them and I wanted to give my own present to the culture.
But still there is reasons I keep painting this. Because you guys think I am trying to make a better place(and now I am sort of). I never said that I’m fighting against racism. But some of you guys think that way. Just like Rihanna has never said that she hates asian but she’s known as a racist in Korea.
Most of the people just think the way they want to think. Whatever people say, I could be either a peacemaker or a chancer. Rihanna could be either a racist or not. But judging her with a picture and a gesture, is even too discrimination. I know she would like my painting.
We all have the right not to be hate but also we all have the freedom to hate too. Sometimes we so easily say ‘it's racism’ or ‘you’re a racist’. (Even some white people says that Koreans are racists by making a additional less spicy level for tofu soup and name it white. Tofu has been always white..)But those words makes us more separated. We are being what we are and no matter how the other color think about you we are all beautiful. There IS racism. I’m not sayin there is no discrimination. I can’t dare say that I could understand black people and their history, but thank God I’m a yellow here and I feel the discrimination too.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT COLORS, haters are gonna always hate, people have the right to hate my painting, don’t call them supremacists, don’t fight them commenting under my painting pictures(I appreciate tho), the painting is all about harmony, peace, conciliation and understanding, if you like it please don’t make it useless.
We are fighting against the old vice, not an old sucky man. Let’s not make more racists by hating each other. I know you guys would still love my painting when I paint white people.
I don’t want to be called as a hired painter but I like Rihanna, hope she likes it.
Love you guys, we deserve better world."
