Comedian and actress Margaret Cho took to Twitter on Monday to defend her impression of a North Korean general at this year's Golden Globes.

Following Cho's performance, many Golden Globes viewers tweeted their objection towards the comedian's impression and described it as being not funny and racist.

Check out some of the tweets below.

Despite the backlash, Cho defended her performance and noted, because she is actually North and South Korean, she has the creative freedom to impersonate North Koreans.

Cho also spoke to BuzzFeed about her performance and continued to express her belief that she can comment on North Koreans and their actions because she is "from this tribe."

"I can do whatever I want when it comes to Koreans -- North Koreans, South Korean. I'm not playing the race card, I'm playing the rice card. I'm the only person in the world, probably, that can make these jokes and not be placed in a labor camp," she said.

Cho also suggested those opposing her performance are the ones who are actually racist.

"I feel if there's negativity, it's other people's judgments about what they feel that Asian-Americans are allowed to do, really. You're putting expectations on us that we have to remain Asian-American, that we can't actually play people from Asia," she said. "When we have British people playing American icons, there's no backlash. But for Asian-Americans, it's a very particular set of expectations that we are set to maintain, and that in itself is racist."

ABC reported that on Sunday, Cho appeared alongside Amy Poehler and Tina Fey to portray a North Korean general named "Cho Young-Ja."

Cho's character was meant to poke fun at the scandal regarding North Korea's objection to the Sony film "The Interview" about journalists plotting to kill the current supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un.

Prior to bringing out Cho as the North Korean general, Poehler and Fey began the night by addressing the scandal and describing the Golden Globes as an event that awarded movies "that North Korea was OK with."

Neither Poehler nor Fey have responded to the Cho backlash.
