The tweet was in response to Donald Trump’s diatribe against football players protesting his presidency.
Cardi B later deleted the tweet but responded to the backlash she received through a series of tweets and retweets.

However, there were others who felt that she had been racist — that her criticisms of North Korea’s leader didn’t need to include racist commentary.

The issue is deeper than you. You’ve called black women roaches and now you’re prejudiced to Asians. You’re so so ignorant it’s sad.

What do you think? Was Cardi B’s tweet racist, perpetuating the notion that it’s okay to use these sentiments against Asian people? Or is it excusable since the comment was directed at Kim Jong Un? Let us know what you think in the comments!
