YouTube has declined to remove
YG’s 2014 song “Meet the Flockers” after the company’s staffers called for the video to be pulled due to lyrics about targeting “Chinese neighborhoods” during burglary attempts,
Bloomberg reports. Employees’ request to YouTube’s Trust & Safety team was denied in an email from executives to the staff on March 22.
“We’ll start by saying we find this video to be highly offensive and understand it is painful for many to watch, including many in Trust & Safety and especially given the ongoing violence against the Asian community,” the statement reads. “One of the biggest challenges of working in Trust & Safety is that sometimes we have to leave up content we disagree with or find offensive.”
