Not officially, but the song has finally been pulled from various platforms as recent as 2 months ago.
The YG concert in Oakland a few years back actually had lots of Asian people there. As an Asian, I don’t want to excuse the song. It was just made in bad taste, before everyone became so sensitive.
What irks me is not the song itself or YG, I like his music, but the double standard and hypocrisy of people applying cancel culture only when it’s convenient to. For example, if an asian person made a song in the reverse. I’d rather get rid of cancel culture altogether
Here's another perspective. Am not American, not Asian. But I like YG's music. Obviously, the cancel politics behind that song has little personal meaning to me on this side of the world, but it does mean that history in popular culture can be re-written when it's convenient to some group of people.
Social ostracizing is a tool, so I doubt cancel will go away.
You’ve noted that cancel culture is rather one-side: I feel Asians tend to be fairly moderate, in which case there is plenty to dislike whether looking into Democrat and Republican.
So here’s the thing: Asians including East Asians need to become far more involved in politics, rather than simply taking cues from MAGA, BLM, or other self-serving interests.
If Asians are a small minority, consider also that both sides are eager to court Asians for the moral high-ground.
tl;dr; Asian Americans may be the moderating voice that the US needs.
