Oppa Gangnam Racist Style?

South Korean pop star PSY closed the 2012 American Music Awards with his hit Gangnam Style. Regardless as to whether you like him or are sick of that damn song, here’s a collection of people who are NOT HAPPY that there’s an Asian dude on their AMERICAN Music Awards:

I would just like to say- this is really sad. Obviously, PSY was INVITED to perform at this event because of his popularity in the American music scene. Don’t like his song? Don’t buy it. Don’t want to see anyone who isn’t “American” (a.k.a white) perform? Here’s an idea- don’t watch. This is just an example of true ignorance and racism. Not that it matters, but I’m white and a proud American… I’ve never been racist a day in my life. I just hope that people who are foreign to the U.S. continent don’t think that ALL of us are like this, because, honestly, a LOT of us aren’t. It seems like whenever the civilizations of the world take a step forward, a thousand idiots come out of the woodwork and drag us all back to where we started.
