donutellha 13,819 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 it's not that bad- he seems to make a kind gesture rather than using it to offend Nam. Perhaps an awkward misunderstanding, but nothing more. Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's okay. You just had 10 donuts today. Without frosting.

Chr 4,217 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Honestly no, they were in Korea and he misunderstood. It might have been rude but I don't think he is racist. I just can't imagine the best Spider-Man being racisn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling Asians that "they speak really good English" or "where are you from? no, where are you REALLY FROM." when they were born and raised in America is a micro aggression.

River 117,672 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 He probably didn't know that the interviewer is USian and he meant good... it was just a compliment.. I don't see how it's supposed to be racist.. He's in Korea, the interviewer is Korean, probably Tom Holland has no clue about any K-Pop or any Korean tv show so he simply made 1+1 and gave him this compliment.. And don't act that you don't it too when someone speaks a good English and you feel that he's not from the US/UK.. But if it was in the US, it could be a bit racist but more close to the ignorant area.. I have a friend who's Italian-Korean, he was adopted when he was 3, so he speaks Italian perfectly of course, it's his mother tongue language, but in Italy he gets those kind of questions even when he says that he's Italian, they tell him that he would never be Italian "look at yourself, there's nothing Italian in you".. so this is racism.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he keeps revealing secret Marvel information, but... But, yeah he's not being racist he's just a bit logically obnoxious. That's how he played his character so well.
