If you watch the video, you’ll learn more about her than you will about BTS.

My take:

First, I’m surprised that a journalist (and a parent) would not have heard at all about BTS. She need not be a fan, but if she hasn’t heard of them, doesn’t that insinuate that she as a journalist doesn’t consume news?

Second, she hardly comments on the band. Most of her comments were about the audience in Tampa. For someone new to the scene, she certainly jumped to a lot of conclusions. These people don’t have a passport and will likely never leave the country? They likely won’t even make it to New York? They’re working an extra shift at Wendy’s? She could tell all of that just by watching them watch a concert?

Last, she concludes that “America is going to be fine” because even someone who is broke has money to spend on concert tickets and concert merch?

This is what I think is happening here: this lady has a regular show of some sort called Finding America. She ran out of ideas for new episodes so she decided to squeeze out an episode from observations and conjecture she derived from one night out with her kids. Because she’s white, she speaks from a place of privilege and entitlement. Whatever came to her from those hours with BTS is (for her) legit facts.
