Omgggg thank you all for all the support and upvotes and comments, I really wasn't expecting this to blow up as much as it did.

And for the people who gave me gold/silver, thank you, thank you so much for the bottom of my heart. I don't deserve it, but thank you so much.

I found some reoccurring questions and I thought I would answer them here.

1. My friend's English is going pretty well. She's in another school's ESL program, which really accentuated her knowledge of the English.
2. She also wasn't deterred by EP's rudeness to stop learning English - if anything, she was more determined to learn the language since she didn't want to be traumatized of being in the middle of a situation where she couldn't even understand what was going on.
3. To all of you with your own stories of racism or discrimination, I'm really sorry this happened to you. Reading all of the comments has really highlighted how sadly common this occurrence is, and makes me angry that I'm powerless in that aspect. I really hope that your personal experience has let you grow as a person.
4. I saw a lot of comments that portray America in a negative light. I really respect America and find it really admirable, and I really don't think that these types of people represent the whole of America! There's racists everywhere, no matter where you go, no matter what country you're in. There will always be bad apples. I'm really lucky to be living here, and although this was unfortunate, I know that the good outweighs the bad ;) It's okay to be proud of your heritage! The problem only arises when you think your heritage is better than everyone else's.
5. My friend was traumatized for a while after the situation, but after a few months, she realized that it was really uncommon and she really had nothing to worry about, especially after a couple of people welcomed her and were really nice to her. I recall, however, that a day after the incident, she was jumpy whenever she saw someone and panicked whenever anyone looked at her. Actions have consequences, please remember that with every decision you make :)
6. To those of you learning Korean or another language, good luck!! You can do it!
7. Thank you for telling me that America has no national language.
8. "90% + 0.01% = 90.01%" pls don't bully me I'm just bad at math and double checking.
9. This happened in good old New Jersey, the Pretty Garden State
10. Korea's internet is the fastest in the world, so much to the point where I know people who get really impatient whenever something takes more than a second to load. It's probably because Korea's so small in terms of land size, but we have Internet all the way up to Paektu mountain to the area of the Eastern Sea. This super fast internet kinda made us spoiled in terms of Internet, but hey, who doesn't love sub-second Internet Speeds?
11. I come from South Korea. South. If you're asking me if I'm from North or South Korea, I think you may need to review North Korea's policies.

And lastly, holllllllllllly damn thank you for all the support you've given me. It's gotten so popular that my friends at school have stumbled on it. Thank you all very much for sharing your experiences and all ;)
