| 0:00.0 | Sup ya beautiful bastards. Hope you've been a fantastic Thursday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. |
| 0:04.8 | And a little quick note, today's show ends a little bit different where we're testing something out, so be sure you stick around for that. |
| 0:11.0 | Also, as you may have noticed, today's PDS is a double XL. Hit that dang like button, let's just jump into it. And the first thing we're to talk about today is everyone's favorite segment, |
| 0:21.6 | Who's getting called Racist Today? |
| 0:23.6 | A brand new show on ABC at 8 p.m. |
| 0:26.6 | Spoiler alert, and a twist, it was you that was racist the whole time. |
| 0:29.6 | No, but stupid, I didn't get enough sleep last night intro to this story aside. |
| 0:33.6 | This is a story today involving BTS, their fans, and the MTV Video Music Awards. Earlier this week, MTV announced the nominations for the VMAs, and in that they included a new category called Best K-Pop. |
| 0:43.3 | And in that category, you had the likes of BTS, Black Pink, NCT, 127, and more. |
| 0:48.3 | Also, in addition to being nominated there, BTS was also nominated for Best Collaboration, Best Choreography, and Best Art Direction. |
| 0:55.0 | But, very notably, they were not included in major categories like Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, or Best Pop. |
| 1:01.0 | This, despite things like the fact that their music video for Boy with Love broke the record for most views on YouTube in 24 hours. |
| 1:07.0 | And it actually has more total views than any of the songs nominated for video of the year. And so with all of this, there are a lot of fans that think this K-pop category not only separates them from popular Western music. |
| 1:15.6 | But they also think that it gives MTV something of an excuse to shut them out of major categories because they've already been nominated elsewhere. |
| 1:20.6 | Because BTS is so popular worldwide, there are a great number of fans that argue that they deserve to be in those major categories just as much, if not more, than Western artists. And so following this, a lot of fans use the hashtag |
| 1:30.7 | VMA is racist to call the show out for separating the band and snubbing them from the top slot. |
| 1:35.0 | Some saying it just shows how intimidated and xenophobic they are. Others saying this is |
| 1:38.6 | just so Asian artists don't mix with the Westerners, saying you've just proven how xenophobia runs in the Western industry's blood and your racist ass is ugly as fuck. |
| 1:45.0 | And their frustrations with this spread around the internet. |
| 1:47.0 | There was a teen vote column that even called the category another way to marginalize successful non-white artists. |
| 1:52.0 | Also writing, the details around these nominations sound like they're saying you can come, just don't sit with us. |
| 1:56.0 | And since the VMA winners are all fan voted, some fans are yes encouraging everyone to still vote for BTS, so they win all their categories, |
