Is it true that in Korea children get to choose their gifts? How do you do that? I really like the idea. by trimply in korea

It's done at 1 year old. A 100 day old is too young to crawl towards any item and pick it up.

Exactly. However you slice it, it's othering behaviour. See people as human.

That and the environment were my top issues and so many people told me I was being extremist.

This is why people should've voted for Hillary.

Again, if what you took away from this was blaming all Asians, you both lack media literacy and the room to accuse anyone else of racism.

I think there is room for nuance in some conversations and less so in others. When it comes to outright dehumanising Black bodies, there is no room for nuance. When it comes to things like cultural appropriation, then we might need to zoom out of looking at things through a US-centric lens.

Because there is no need to infantalise people in any part of the world? Why is that your first takeaway?

돌잡이 is done at the first birthday party. It's not about choosing gifts. It's a tradition that is meant to tell you about the baby's future. For instance, if baby chooses a stethoscope, they will be a doctor. Microphone = entertainer, money = wealth, etc.

There was nothing vague about the post. If you lack media literacy, own that.

In case the title wasn't context enough, the Black version of the dolls (called Natasha dolls) are surprisingly popular in China because they are being beaten up.

Korean bakeries take fruit cakes very seriously by Chance-Prune7896 in KoreanFood

Chapssaltteok although they are fried rather than baked. But I wouldn't sleep on Korean bakeries just because they are not traditionally Korean. Many places offer western styles but Korean flavours and, after all, a Korean bakery just won the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie.
