#41: I’m married, I post here often, and I do not “casually refer to korean women as whores”. Most of the guys who post here do not do this; however, you suggest that all or most do. Your use of the term “the expat” would be more effective if you wrote “some expats” or “certain expats” or even “most expats.” Combined with the fact that your posts are - and you admit this - impolite, any positive things you have to offer through your “korean perspective” are easily overlooked.

#42: Hanbok are alright. Not my favorite traditional clothing in Asia, but I think they can look pretty good on women. As far as guys are concerned, I think “new” hanbok jackets/shirts are a good match with jeans or Dockers.

“I’m cracking up that she’s with the Korean equivalent of Carrot Top.”

Have you seen Carrot Top recently?

“The fact is, in many instances, they were literally hunted down and slaughtered.”

‘pawi wouldn’t be here either. I think.’ abcdef

most reasonable koreans eventually decide to leave this place but to me, that is a mistake. this isn’t about winning or losing against the expat; this is about providing a korean perspective which is something you don’t find amongst those who contribute topics here. i don’t post too often anywhere else. i post here to ensure koreans have a voice in a blog read by many.

and yes, i’m strident and rude. but that’s how you get with a group of people who casually refer to korean women as whores while they tell us about their korean wives and girlfriends. there’s no need to be polite to people who paint koreans as monsters. there’s no need for respect other than the shallow when it comes to these folks.

as long as the marmot will allow me a voice, i’m not going anywhere.

ps i thought all the ladies in their hanbok looked nice.

I have no problems with Paris wearing any type of clothing as long as she keeps everything on.

Songnai, are you a member of The First Nations? Some bands are doing well that is true. However, they are not as powerful and visible as you think. Most families are not wealthy, at least the ones I personally know which includes some of my own family members that I keep in touch with. It doesn’t matter if most died from disease. The fact is, in many instances, they were literally hunted down and slaughtered. A good part of their culture was, for the most part, destroyed. I suggest you go to a place up in James Bay called Moosonee where I live for two years and see this for yourself.

I’m cracking up that she’s with the Korean equivalent of Carrot Top.

It’s also a bit telling of how little taste there is that Fila believes they can make at least $1M more in profit by attaching their brand with the world’s most famous skank.

Yes, Paris Hilton is the grand epitome and very essence of Korean materialism and pop culture, the symbol of what every little Korean girl wants to be; at the same time, Miss Hilton is the antithesis of Korea. Really. As the living embodiment of lush-life squalor and socialite snobism, there’s something paradoxical about her being in Korea. — And there’s no way that her being on Infiinity Challenge is not going to be very, very eo-saek-hae. Nonetheless, whatever. I’ve never seen an episode of that show, but I’m cracking up from the thought of it already.

She’s famous for being famous, she’s had cosmetic surgery, she put out a CD that was trashed by any self-respecting music critic, she appears in the occasional B-movie, she usually plays herself doing embarrassing things when she appears on TV, and most of her income comes from public appearances and TV ads…She is a Korean ‘talent’.

Yes, I am, Dokdo. My comment simply makes the point that Native Americans are not forgotten, invisible, or powerless as Andru’s comment implies.
