Oasis’ Liam Gallagher Apologizes for Anti-Asian Slur Ahead of Asia Reunion Tour

Liam Gallagher, lead singer of the British rock band Oasis, faced significant backlash after posting a widely recognized anti-Asian racial slur on his social media account just days before Oasis's reunion tour, which includes dates in South Korea and Japan. Initially, Gallagher responded defensively to criticism, dismissing concerns and even suggesting the term symbolized an "ancestral mental process." After deleting the offensive post, he issued an apology stating that any offense was unintentional and emphasizing that he does not discriminate. Despite the apology, many fans and social media users criticized it as insincere and insufficient, highlighting the real harm caused by his words. The controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated reunion tour, which marks the band's return after 15 years. Gallagher's history of controversial social media behavior has further fueled the mixed reactions to his latest incident.
