It really is true that once a population gets to a certain enormous size, anything and everything short of the supernatural is bound to happen. I always thought a person had to possess a special type of charity and sanity to be able to adopt at all, let alone kids from overseas who may experience massive difficulty with the fact that you the parent are white while the they are not, and yet here you have the same person being a saint in one instance and a total fuckin lunatic in another. I mean, how often do adoptive parents bludgeon their kids to death over financial/personal difficulty? It really is a one of a kind event that I think even the psychologists would have difficulty giving any sort of explanation for.

Yep, they probably wouldn’t give a shit. Sames goes for Vietnamese. If the mail order brides who were killed by Korean farmers weren’t Viet, I’m sure Vietnam wouldn’t give a shit either. Everybody seems to show a little more interest if you can show some sort of emotional connection to a particular event. In this case it’s an ethnic connection.

So what’s your point?

I expect quite a lot of Koreans will dump on foreigners adopting Korean kids now…again

I’m sure they would prefer orphans to grow up in orphanages and then spend their adult lives in Korea as total outcasts.

If a white dude killed his adopted kids who happened to be Viet, black etc… Koreans here wouldn’t give a shit.

Um, the context of moral bankruptcy and rank stupidity?

‘whatever. obviously you have no idea from what context I’m writing from. shame is the last thing i feel.’ vile expat in response to criticism

yes, shame is the last word i’d use to describe your comments. however, the root of your comment says humiliation. that’s why you’re looking for the korean angle.
tsk, tsk, tsk…..

A more plausible explanation is that he killed six people under cocaine. That was the first thing that came to mind even before I read the article, this is what people on coke do. As for the half million dollars, that may have made him more of an addict, but $500,000 alone wouldn’t mean that much to an executive banker!

I don’t think adoption had anything to do with it…

Two years ago a Korean man killed his two young children over financial difficulties in Los Angeles.

He “attempted” suicide, but was too much of a coward to go through with it.
