A lot of racist Americans are pretty upset with Psy right now

Earlier today it came to light that Korean rapper Psy — he of the much-parodied “Gangnam Style” — once said some anti-American stuff. In 2004, amid a wave of anti-American protests in South Korea against the Iraq War, Psy contributed some aggressive lyrics to a song by metal band N.E.X.T:

Kill those fucking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives
Kill those fucking Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers
Kill them all slowly and painfully

Psy has already issued an abject apology but that didn’t stop people from tweeting their disapproval, sometimes in very strident language. And by strident, I mean racist. Below is just a small sample:
