Seems like the chuds won’t leave you guys alone lately, just know you aren’t alone and we have your back.
Just checking in on you guys really
I had no opinion on hamster ovaries before today and dammit no neo-cold war bullshit can make me come up with one
I wonder how gun reddit would respond to “roof Korean” memes right about now.
Iirc the only person they killed was another roof Korean. They’re just used for racist propaganda.
Some healthy debate on this topic here you love to see it. My take is they were kind of being like Kenosha Kyle but at least they were actually defending their own businesses not a random ass used car lot and I get how as immigrants they didn’t feel the state would have their back to protect their businesses or help them rebuild. But there was a crazy level of tension between black people and Koreans at the time in LA.
So basically it was possibly lose everything you came to America to build or shoot black looters. Fucked up situation to be in but the thing that bothers me personally is the “shoot black looters” part is definitely why much of the internet/2A people rallies around them and turned roof Koreans into a meme.
Then what really throws a wrench into things is that the iconic photo of those 2 roof Koreans blasting cigs is just undeniably cool. Captures the 90s aesthetic perfectly lol

My wife is a Korean. She’s doing fine but I’m pretty upset (I’m wh*te). Our kids are half-Korean. I met my wife while I was working as an English teacher in South Korea. Back then, I was a lib, but now I feel that I participated in the imperial project in South Korea and it upsets me. We live in America now because as a lib I really wanted to raise a family here. Big mistake moving back here a few years ago. I radicalized after our return. My wife has to put up with racist microaggressions all the time. We live in an extremely liberal area. She’s a Berner, not an ML, and she was complaining a lot yesterday about the reaction to the murders on the South Korean internet. It’s overrun with chuds and bourgeois dickheads, of course, which means that they were saying the typical bullshit, like who the fuck cares, they were just sex workers, whatever. Fuck 'em. South Korea is actually way more leftwing than you might think though. North Korea is very popular there. A lot of the most rightwing South Koreans now live in the USA but post in Korean on Korean forums.
in the asian diaspora communities i hung out in as a kid, being poor was close to being a moral failure, second to being uneducated.
i can only speak for the chinese communities with regards to chud/based ratios, but they say that tiananmen essentially turned all the students who were in a position to care at the time either into maoist ultras or gigachuds, with very few in between. i figure the people who would willingly emigrate are pretty self-selecting.
I’ve known younger second generation Korean Americans who were cool but since moving back every single thirty- or forty-something Korean immigrant we’ve spoken with has been like a fucking creationist. These people exist in South Korea but they are generally viewed as absurd there. Like I said, my wife is a Berner and that’s pretty moderate in South Korea.
Like all countries, the bourgeoisie diaspora isn’t reflective of the population overall, but I remember being in college (this was a long time ago) and all the Korean students whether they grew up here or in Korea were super religious psychos. This is mostly women in my experience certainly isn’t reflective; but there always seemed to be more diversity of thought with other nationalities. It always just struck me as unique and interesting
For real, South Korea’s a whole lot fucking nicer to live in than the U.S. then again I think nearly anywhere else is nicer than the U.S.
But shit, the food’s cheap and nutritious, healthcare’s cheap and high quality, the booze is damn near free-flowing although it’s hard to find any good liquor over there, folks there tend to be polite and honest, and there’s always a place to hike or stroll leisurely just a stone’s throw away.
My only gripes that their state actively persecutes communists, their perception of western food’s like way too fucking sugar filled - like shit I thought American food was filled with sugar and shit but their American food’s literally tooth rotting sweet but without the heart clogging oiliness and the dumptrucks worth of saltiness.
Also their national sport is gaming, and you know how I feel about gamers.
Yeah I couldn’t stand eating American food while I was there. There was no Mexican food, either! I actually really got into the Korean-style pizzas though. Pizza with potatoes, corn, even mayo—that shit is fucking amazing. (The mayo love is my whiteness talking.) I ate almost nothing but Korean food though while I was there since it’s so good, healthy, and cheap.
For real for real. I loved eating over there but I missed treating my body like utter dogshit with American processed foods once in a while lmao.
Y’know the only pizza I had over there was this sorta Frenchy styled pizza that said it used a sweetened red wine reduction as the marinara and used brie cheese, garlic, and some other French shit to balance out the sweetness, and other than the fact I think they just used grape jelly that pizza was fucking lit. It all balanced out and made a great harmony of sweet and savory that a normal pizza joint could make casually.
Did you get a chance to go to the fish markets? Or even to the coastal villages/towns? Last time I went I got to go see the eastern sea and got to pick out fresh fish to make sashimi out of. Like I thought I’ve had fresh good fish before, living in Alaska and catching my own shit lol, but fuck me there’s a literal whole ocean of flavors out there that you can only experience when you’re downing a glass of makgeolli and breathing is the fresh salty air.
We discuss it all the time but we don’t really want to work there again. Overall, quality of life is better than in America, but working conditions are intense, let’s say. We would die to go to Vietnam or Cuba but even if those countries would accept us there’s issues involved with displacing or exploiting the people who already live there. We might give China a try. Actually, the only thing really holding me back from applying to some jobs there is the pollution. We would love to go almost anywhere, but since Americans are plague rats it’s not so easy to move around. On a “Racism in Korea” facebook page I follow I just saw that a Vietnamese student I knew posted a picture of a gym which said it isn’t accepting foreigners now because of covid.
Doing ok, as much as is normal. Thanks for asking though
Nope. Haven’t felt this demoralized in a while. A lot of the demoralization comes from seeing my white lib friends assimilating all these issues into their lib US domestic reference frame while ignoring the fact that anti-Asian racism and sinophobia have a lot to do with the bipartisan from-fash-to-succdem geopolitical posturing of the US (arguably since the “manifest destiny” years, using Asian labor to convert stolen Indian land into commodities, only to rein in on these laborers through the “yellow peril” fearmongering).
It kinda shows that in the eyes of my lib friends, I’m just some poor minority that needs help and benevolence in order to better assimilate to their US imperialism. It feels suffocating.
