Blackface in Asia

A particular video from a mainstream South Korea show spurred my interest. My question for you is, how do you think this image portrays the African diaspora, especially in countries that are homogeneous like South Korea. I would also like to note that even though this video is from South Korea, this behavior is not exclusive to South Korea and is prevalent in many other Asian countries as well. Also, this does not mean in any way that all Asians think like this. This is mainly to show the images that mainstream media in several Asian countries are broadcasting. Please watch this video then answer the question. Thanks!
