If you’re going to hurl ethnic slurs…

I don’t usually make it a point to print hate mail—not that I get much—but this one was pretty cute:

Jew Killer wrote : (Smellywhitefaggot@eurotrashloser.com)
You fucking pathetic faggot ass jew shit. As if you know anything about Corean
culture or the society. Go back to you fucking elegant long island rathole and
comment about how a fucking white trash cracker loser such as yourself couldn’t
make it in the US and ran to Corea to teach English. Oh you r such an expert on
Corean culture and society…ha ha you’re an expert at Itaewon and a pathetic
attempt at white supremacy…typical another eurotrash loser trying to pretend
the British empire still matters in Asia.
You fucking cunt if I ever go back to Seoul I’ll be sure to hunt you down stick
a broomstick up your smelly pasty dengenerate ass,cut off your little weeny
white dick down your throat and dump your useless cracker ass into the
Hangang….yeah you’re the expert..on yapping your little trap.
SHUT THE FUCK UP whiteboy…go the fuck back to jew york. Watch yourself…we

You know, if you’re going to use ethnic slurs, you gotta use them properly. Key to this is getting the ethnicity of the intended target right. Now, I’ll grant that in the melting pot that is the United States of America, this is a very difficult task indeed. However, given how my family name is shared by, among others, the current president of the Federal Republic of Germany, you’d think it’d make it easier to identify than most. Apparently not.
Anyway, for the benefit of others who entertaining the notion of sending my similar mail in the future, I’d appreciate it if you limited your ethnic insults only to those that are applicable—Kraut, Jerry, Hun and any and all references to the Nazi Party (i.e., “You fucking pathetic faggot ass Nazi shit”) are good suggestions. Actually, my paternal ancestors are Alsatian, so I’ll leave it for writers to decide whether Frog jokes apply. Also, if it helps any (and if we strive for anything here at the Marmot’s Hole, it’s to be helpful), my mother’s side of the family is Irish and Native American—lot’s of slurs to choose from there, so go to town.

    Marmot, I would like to opine that prior to Shelton’s “Confessions” post, I don’t think you would have thought to post something like this. That means that (a) the Shelton distortion is going beyond the event horizon of Shelton’s own posts, and/or (b) you are posting this as a (stilted) way to show that you, too, can write things that have little to do with Korea and everything to do with the petty ramblings of idiots who aren’t worth your time.

    No, Kushibo. I just found it funny.

    Okay, Robert. I stand corrected. I have strong faith in your integrity as a blogger, so I will take your word that my opining was off.

    Was this e-mail prompted by a specific blog entry? The ‘3 Kingdoms’ origin of the e-mail suggests this was the work of a local?

    IP addresses and a call to the service provider. If he was emailing from home or another stable land line, you’ll be able to get his userid and identity.

    IP, baby, IP!

    Kushibo,

    As a lover of language, I salute you!

    the Shelton distortion
    is going beyond
    the event horizon
    of Shelton’s own posts

    I agree Mr. Marmot, you are “a pathetic attempt at white supremacy” :)

    Well, I think that Marmot ought to be concerned, as the last line in that email is a bit scary for any man. If the local guys start ‘hunting’ for you, Robert, just remember: CYA.

    I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and the mail was tracked to a PC room in downtown Seoul. Apparently the police actually made an arrest in the case. Such things are taken very seriously by Korean police.

    FYI:

    Curiously the “ethnic slur,” if were worth analyzing, is not ethnic at all, but refers to the “Jew” as “cosmopolitan”, a common reference in pre-war Europe to those “tricky” sorts without allegiance to any country–or better, false allegiance to other countries–for personal gain.

    I doubt many Koreans are familiar with this usage. Maybe an angry Kyopo?

    This would back wooj’s findings above…

    Plus, the whole ‘if I ever go back to Seoul..’ seems to indicate that the writer is not here.

    That, and that here in Korea, mop handles would be much more of a worry - Korean broomsticks are more like a prop from a TT Boy production :)

    By the way, the IP belongs to Adelphia Cable Communications. I assume it’s the HQ that’s located in Coudersport, PA, and not the jack-ass sending the email.

    Reminds me of that guy who used to spend all of his time on English Spectrum and Korean ESL obsessing over ESL Cafe because he got banned three years previously.

    dang. now that’s a man (woman?) in need of some mouthwash and a weekend sensitivity workshop. i doubt he’s korean or kyopo since mr. koehler, if anything, is a koreaphile. in any case, hate speach, threats to kill and maim, and erratic grammar are all federal offenses. so someone report the miscreant for all our sakes.

    Darn. And I was just about to do an autobiography titled _You’ve Got Hate Mail_. Oh well. Marmot wins.

    All right, you smelly rodent — if that’s whatever the hell a “Marmot” is. And why’s it capitalized anyway? It’s a common noun: “marmot.” Like the common person you are: mr. marmot. Hah! I’m gonna decapitatelize every word that refers to you, mr. robert m. rhododendron. Yeah, that’s a pun on “rodent teeth” but you wouldn’t notice that, would you?

    If I ever get out of my room, down the elevator, out to the bus stop, onto the subway, and figure out where the hell I’m going (I’ll take a map next time, dammit!), I’m gonna find a broom and do a clean sweep of your marmot’s hairy aspects, you little burrow-dweller!

    That’ll teach you to have a blog exponentially more popular than my own.
