The 
Cardi B is under fire for a comment she said concerning Asians during her interview with Vogue.
When asked about the designer of her dress, Cardi B referred to them as “Asian and everything” possibly because she forgot the designer’s name.
I feel amazing. This is an amazing designer. They’re Asian and everything, so yeah.
— Cardi B
She received criticism on social media for not only referring to the designer in a “mannerless” and potentially “racist” way, but also for failing to properly promote and credit the designer during such a big event in the fashion world.
Cardi B was wearing WINDOWSEN by @sensenlii, a Chinese designer.
Korean netizens had mixed opinions on the issue. Some believe that because Cardi B often shows her love for Asian culture, it was a mistake and she didn’t mean any harm. However, others believe that it’s a careless excuse for thoughtless behavior.
- “It’s not just racism, it’s incredibly rude to the designer who made the dress to say you don’t know who made it when you’re going to a famous fashion event…”
- “I think even small things like that are racism… Cardi B… I’m a bit disappointed ㅠ”
- “Those who don’t know if this is racism, shut up and go away. You’re making a fool of yourself.”
- “I’m not shocked because Cardi B didn’t have a good image in the first place, but I think it would be better for her to apologize because it’s a statement that could be considered racist, whether intentional or not. (. . .) I guess you can compliment while being discriminatory at the same time.”
- “Asian human rights are really at rock bottom.”
- “The Met Gala again?”
- “If she had said the opposite, she would have been cursed and made a fuss on Instagram. I really hate racism.”
Since then, Cardi B has posted her love for the designer on Instagram.
