You didnt say what type of Korean AMerican you were.

I am a generation 1.5 Korean American.


and do you play starcraft?

No.

do you feel that as a korean you have the genetic advantage when it comes to SC?

be honest.

Yes, because as a Korean American, my parents have taught me that Koreans are the superior race of the world, as seen by their incessant pride and chatter about the accomplishments of the Koreans, despite them being such a small nation. Therefore, I am led to believe that Koreans are superior, not genetically(I can't say yes to this even though I believe, because it will offend people), but because of their culture. Basically, what I mean by culture is, if you don't get straight A's at school, or be the best player on your tennis team, then you will get your ass beat.

Korean parents are realistic though. If you are an average Korean American, your height will be near 5'8, 5'9, so parents won't ask you to be the next Kobe Bryant because a height disadvantage makes this goal unrealistic. However, with Linsanity, the new generation of Koreans are not safe. They will be asked to excel harder than they were asked to excel before.

My family specifically is considered to be on the lower spectrum of Koreans when talking about wealth. Koreans are richer than they point out to be.

(From my view of the world, since I have only lived in rich suburbs my entire life, and all my korean school mates are richer than I am.) Technically speaking, my family makes like over $120K per year at the least, and don't pay taxes because my dad is a freelancer and therefore puts unemployed on his whatever he does for taxes, and takes 100% of what he makes. My mom works for a Korean company, which means that they do some underhanded dealings where she only makes "minimum wage." They give her most of her wages in cash.

How do you feel about relying on your parents to be the font of knowledge and authority concerning the racial hierarchy of the world?

I don't really care. I just love the fact that Koreans are owning everyone else at Starcraft. And I feel great pride in that.

How do you feel about Chinese kids taking a recent liking to Kpop and Korean culture in general?

I used to be like fuck you! Don't make kpop into the new Britney spears, to woot! Korean influence is rising in the world. To now, I love it. Because only Chinese girls really listen to kpop/watch korean dramas. And this means that you get to meet plenty of cool Chinese chicks who share something in common with you, therefore you have an easier time connecting to plenty of the hot chinese chicks very fast.

Ok, on to the question, this could be asked to japanese-americans too, I suppose. Basically, how do you feel about the recent surge of South Korea in worldwide pop culture? Are you at all offended or annoyed by non-koreans being obsessed with korea and its culture, but in a superficial way (such as "wapanese" people, or weeabos, but with Korea, obviously).

I can't speak for the entire world, I can only speak of the foreigners in America who like K-pop. The people who aren't asian, that I know, who like K-pop, are losers. Like no Korean out there likes German music or African music. You only like that shit if you are a loser, who tries to be cool/connect with others because you've been outcasted by your own race. Therefore, I don't like these people. Also it annoys me that people try to be like/dress like asians when they are not asian. It's not natural, and they are trying too hard.

It's only odd in the U.S. because the U.S. is exposed to so many diverse cultures and at school you were taught to be more open to others. I'm not sure why other Koreans are against interracial marriage, but I know why I am. Ever since I was young, my parents have openly condemned marrying other races. They really harshly did not want me to marry non-asians, and they didn't want me to marry other asians too, but not as harshly as non-asians. Older koreans are very openly racist. Especially the ones in America. They think black people and mexicans are stereotypically trash. Whites are fared in a better light because of the power they hold in America. And you don't want your children marrying trash, and you drill that they are trash into their kids' heads.

No, I hate them because I don't believe in inter-racial marriages. White must marry with white, chinese with chinese, japanese with japanese, koreans with korean, black with black.

People look down on you. And you're a loser. I think this is the same for all people though. No1 wants to be a loser, they want to fit in, and be popular, etc.

Based on what I know there's two general kinds of drunk korean guys. There's the guys that are chill and awesome to drink with/play drinking games with and then there's the angry drunk koreans who try to start fights with random guys they "think" looked at their girl wrong while spewing racial epithets. Pretty sure we know which kind you're going to be when you grow up.

mmmmm, I'm not really annoyed. I only get annoyed/pissed off/rage when they try to hit on our women.

Koreans are very closed off as a race to other races, therefore make ridiculous assumptions and put up walls in front of other races. This is racism of the korean people. There's no holocaustic hate. For a non korean person going to Korea, it's going to be their job to break down these walls and misconceptions people have about different races. There's going to be walls. People aren't going to as open to you, as they might be to korean people.It's kind of a hard thing to do, to fight through this misconception called "racism", 8 year old boy.
