They’ve been making fun of all the guys names this whole season and I don’t even like KC but calling him KFC is literally racist and playing into a racial stereotype. They don’t like her so they gave her a shitty nickname just like they did sincere with sinister, insincere, warm regards, etc.

i guess as a white person it’s not fair for me to say it’s not that deep bc it could very well be a micro aggression but i’m not sure how many people were saying this with such bad intentions. i feel like calling sinceres evil ass “sinister” is fair and parmesan wasn’t really meant to be rude… but kfc is kinda crazy ngl

i strongly dislike parmida but calling her parmesan was a direct mockery of her ethnic name. kfc was terrible too. sincere deserves the (non-racially charged) nicknames of sinister and insincere tho

I think if her name was not ethnic, they would’ve still called her a different name to mock her. I just haven’t seen that link between it being racially motivated. Maybe it’s just me.

i agree and i don’t even think that was the intention either but having an ethnic name unfortunately makes it an easy target to be made fun of, and people usually go for that first. it just is what it is, no matter the intent. i don’t even think it’s THAT deep but .. it is what it is

I understand that. I just think there’s other stuff people can point out like people talking about the way she speaks (even though she’s exaggerating it) and how smart she is. I think that’s more racially motivated than a petty nickname.

right but that’s been happening on top of it lol. also i think the videos of her “american accent” are her faking it, i think her real accent is on the show. and this is coming from me who’s not a fan of her at all

She’s been smart. She has a degree in kinesiology/exercise physiology and as someone who’s taken both those classes…that shit is hard so I can’t even imagine majoring in it.

Ngl I feel like she’s leaning into it on the show to give off that “I’m foreign” vibes because usually when you have an accent they try to hide it like Ola did and some of the girls from this season. It’s kinda like Corbin deepening his already deep voice.

Im not into exercise physiology or kinesiology and I hated the classes so it was hard for me, but it’s a lot to memorize and not a lot of people can pass/ graduate with that degree.

i guess that’s true… not many people can even pass anatomy so she’s def smarter than most

I’m not saying she was faking it. I think she has a natural accent and I think on certain words she’s going to say differently. I just don’t think it’s as thick/ hard to understand as it was shown in the villa.

100%. I know people who have retaken human anatomy, exercise physiology, and kinesiology at least once. No shame to them but it just doesn’t always click the first time. It clicked for her and she’s been a personal trainer for like 5 years now
