They meet an anti-Semite who fills their heads with crap, and they have absolutely contrary experience to give contrast. Partly because Jewish people are so invisible unless you know what to look for, and Koreans don't know what to look for. A Korean exchange student will have many fond memories of their teacher "Mr. Cohen" or so forth, but never connect that with the "evil Jews".<BR/><BR/>The obvious answer is to encourage Jewish people to come to Korea, so Koreans can actually meet Jewish people and be able to put a face behind the crap they hear.John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240910672792907048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-30886420614637328462008-02-24T13:09:00.000+09:002008-02-24T13:09:00.000+09:00my parents, i am ashamed to say, are anti semitic....my parents, i am ashamed to say, are anti semitic. sometimes they are quite vocal about it too, which embarrasses me. i dont think that it is based on anything personal and my parents are not extremely devout christians. i dont know where they got it from (it feels like some kind of disease or something). perhaps they picked it up from some of the right wing media that they subscribe too (my dad in particular leans towards the far right) or maybe their friends. i havent been home since i left for college. so i dont know who they actually hang out with these days. and their antisemitism seems to have gotten stronger since ive left. or maybe its just that ive been able to pick up on it better as i got older.<BR/><BR/>i used to wonder if i could attribute it to the usual korean xenophobia, but theyve been here in america since 71. can i blame it? or are they just too stubborn? or what?<BR/><BR/>theyre also racist in some of the usual ways. i dont think ive heard ggamdungi in decades, although "ilbon-nom" still persists.melancholy donuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730883153198811144noreply@blogger.com
