Colbert is SO funny! How can you hate him?

Korean media shouldn’t assume so quickly.

Korean pride is an exaggeration born of institutionalized insecurity ingrained in the national culture. Neither the Chinese nor Japanese demonstrate the same uber-defensiveness for anything related to their nation or culture. My Korean friends are constantly experiencing life through a “Korean” lens. Anything ( food, music, politics,etc…) that contains any hint of a Korean influence is defended angrily against any criticism, founded or not. This sort of absolute, aggressive defensiveness allows for no acknowledgement of the circumstances of the discussion or appropriateness of the reaction.

I live in LA and am surrounded by Koreans, so I know firsthand how ridiculous Korean pride can get. Korean culture is as interesting to me as any other culture and I respect it as much as any other culture. Frankly, all the Koreans need to calm themselves down. Get a clue about things and stop constantly making themselves out to be the aggrieved innocents. Oh, yeah…How about Korean dudes learn how to talk about other cultures without being outright desparaging. “Chinks”, “Niggas”, “Wetbacks”, etc… If Korea were a person, any therapist would tell them to stop putting others down in an attempt to make themself feel better. Learn Korea.
