A few of the Blackpink members are presently in the USA doing everything right in order to get global attention for their amazing singing prowess. Blackpink Rose has been in the USA for a while now, exploring the place.
She recently visited the NBA Milwaukee Bucks Vs New York Knicks match at Madison Square Garden when an unfortunate incident happened with her. This report was written by sportskeeda.com, and we bring to you a reference for the same.
The game was watched by both the fans and non-fans of Rose. They got a glimpse of hers, and she gained a lot of importance in the crowd.
On Wednesday, as the BLACKPINK star Rosé was exiting Madison Square Garden, her fans greeted her with boisterous cheers and words of affection.
A video captured by a BLINK showed the spectacle of Rosé exiting the stadium amidst the adulation. After spotting the singer, some BLINKs could be heard making various comments.
However, one comment was alarming, in which Rosé was referred to as ‘ling.’ This phrase, along with other similar-sounding words, is often used to ridicule Asians, perpetuating the stereotype that they have “funny-sounding” names.
Given the current political climate and the rise of anti-Asian hate in the world, particularly in the USA, fans were understandably concerned upon hearing those words directed at Rosé.
Well, this provoked the BLINKs, and they got wild that their idol was shamed in public.
