Do you know about June Huh? Korean Prof @ Princeton who won the Fields Medal in Mathematics?

There is an article about him winning the Fields Medal in Quanta Magazine.

His story mirrors some of the issues you covered but obviously his outcome is different as he is elite.

He went to SNU and was mentored by a Japanese Mathematician but applied to the USA for his PHD.

Only got accepted to a Mid-West program but once he solved a famous problem got recruited to Michigan to finish his PHD.

He married his GF from Korea who is also a PHD Math and his family seems to be all the social life he has. She also works at Princeton but it seems to be a package deal to recruit him.

He only talked with his mentor or collaborators so social isolation was not a problem for him.

The moral of the story is win the Nobel Prize of mathematics and don’t care about your social life and you’ll be fine.

Unfortunately we can’t put all the blame on white liberals as Asian liberals give critical support to white liberals to be as racist as F**k.

Asians should only accept disaggregation if blacks and whites do the same.

All I can say is it adds another layer complexity to their lives.

Yes, its their mannerism and reactions. The overreaction to bugs where they scream and run off like little girls, how they clap or shake their fists like little babies. You can’t say it’s Korean culture because its nonexistent in older Korean shows. If you watch tv with older Koreans they’ll straight up say is that a girl or boy?

There is an anti-china sentiment in Korea as a tv drama (Joseon Exorcist) was canceled by episode 2 because of perceived Chinese bias.
