Yeah, it might just be a reference to the fact that itโs an old song and maybe sheโs not familiar with it, but who knows. Now that the alternate meaning was pointed out, though, Iโm questioning my original interpretation. After all, there is precedent for people in the media openly saying stuff like that about young Asian Olympic athletes. (CW: radio host making disgusting sexual comments about an underaged girl)
His whole โjokeโ was pretty shitty, regardless.
