Descendants of the Sun EP 5... calling the black kid "blackey"???

rebekah

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? Yeah I know the town itself was called blackey but it left a bad taste in my mouth knowing the bias Koreans have against darker skin tones and often make jokes against darker people / Koreans. Do you think I should continue watching? I dont like racial jokes. You can see the scene below.

Actually I don't know what is right, but I watch dots on viki and they translated the town to bleki and Onew just calls the boy by the town.

I don't think it was meant as a joke. I watched it on Viki too and they indeed translated the town as Bleki.

I think it's a great drama only the English (and Arabic apparently) is so dramatic xD

I vote for continuing the drama~ :3
