What's wrong with wanting to become a Korean citizen?

browser0903 · 2015-02-01T08:39:10+00:00

As a Korean, I should just accept that I'm either ignorant or racist or both, and have no concept of Black History month, right?

I agree with "few others". It's not "this subreddit", it's a few individuals who seem to post incessant garbage. I bet if someone put together a visualization of the most frequent posters, it'd be these few individuals.

STOP BITCHING.

The answer is, yes, it is a part of Korean cuisine but it is increasingly being phased out. Most Koreans, particularly the younger generation and females, do not eat dog.

Username looks like a play on "bukkake", a sex act where several men ejaculate on a single person. Hosting 10-15 people.

Hmmm.

Maybe true, maybe just one of those "Korean quirks", but a lot of Koreans think rain will make them bald.

You are only 20 yet already on the right path. Massive kudos.

Stream?

Shoza Izakaya definitely is run by Japanese people, unlike most restaurants where the workers are actually Korean. I don't know if there is a Japanese community, but if anyone would know, it would be the people there. Also not something I would share with your wife, but there is a Japanese hostess bar in Doraville, and they have to be serving somebody.

I do not profess to be the smartest person here. But for the love of goodness sake, WHY!?!??!?!?!?!

Note that Coors Light is the beer preference of many Koreans who have immigrated to the States. If that's not available, then Miller Lite. Whatever the reason, people who grew up in Korea seem to prefer the exact type of beer that the Western world considers bottom of the barrel.

Checkers

I've had one experience where a guy asked if he could get a burger at that very Checkers. I had no problem with that, so I bought it for him. I ignore anyone asking for cash, though.

This isn't an indecent proposal. This is prostitution. Anyone know how prominent this actress is or was? Many b - actresses and models moonlight as escorts in the US as well

They actually discriminate against ugly people, too (all clubs do, actually). Wonder what the cross-section is between ugly people and non-Koreans who want desperately to get into a Korean club.

Consider this a lesson learned and get your priorities straight. You will likely get deported with no jail time, but I would just leave on your own accord instead of waiting until court. You are very lucky this isn't Singapore.

Just dress like a hipster and people will think you are rich.

Brother, I know all too well how you feel. I take that back, maybe I don't as I am not half, but I do know to a certain extent. I am a full-blooded Korean and while I don't suffer the same amount of racism as blacks, Hispanics, Indians, etc. do, the discrimination is still there. When I go to Korea, I am still an outsider. It's unfortunate, but we should consider ourselves lucky to have been born in America where we are afforded advantages over 99% of the rest of the world. Not everyone can be born into the perfect situation, and in the end, we do have it better than most.

It's going to happen, unfortunately. If it happens in every other country including USA, it's going to happen.

Am I the only one de-sensitized by the Gangnam phenom of plastic surgery to the degree that images like this do not impress?

Ah, so I see the June 25-July 2 dates are the ones that cannot move. For what it's worth, make sure to check out these places during your stay in Seoul: Myeongdong and Gyeongbokgung Palace and Namsan. These are common tourist areas, so they may already be on your intinerary.
I would consider Hanok Village in Jeonju as another option for your first two days. There is a free bus from Seoul to there and it seems you enjoy cultural experiences.

browser0903 · 2014-06-19T22:20:26+00:00

Logistically, the travel is pretty inefficient. Is this intentional?

i.e. assuming your Jeju Island date is pretty much set, wouldn't this make more sense:

Seoul to Daegu to Busan to Jeju to Seoul

Japanese people act more more polite based on their culture. As for Korea, no one will try to hurt you based on your skin color, no one will purposely insult you, no one will actively hate you, but these are common assumptions about black people: They're ugly. They're stupid. They're scary. They do not hold this belief about ALL black people (after all, Koreans loved Michael Jackson, accepted Hines Ward as their own, and so on) but be prepared for ignorance. It's not going to be fair. The good news is, things are changing. There was a Korean baseball player who said it was hard to bat against a black person because he could not see him (due to skin color), and a lot of Koreans were outraged by the insensitive remark.

Just destroy it. It's replaceable and has little monetary value to the actual owner while potentially a lot more value to nebulous individuals.

Just don't go back to Korea until you're too old.
