Check out this rambling bit that a Korean-American female student of Princeton blogged on a website called "www.familysecuritymatters.com"

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/challenges.php?id=1051007


A friend of mine in Virginia who noticed it, only because he's following everything related to the Cho massacre and found it in a Google search, emailed the girl and sent me a copy of what he said to her. He gives me permission to paste it here. See below.

Even the other articles she refers to are lame and in the end have to admit there was no adverse reaction directed at Koreans or Korean-Americans, or Asians in general.

(Oh, by the way, her email address is at the bottom of her long babbling thesis. Geez, if that's the best Princeton can produce, . . . . )

Here's my friend's email to the author, cut and paste.

<><><><><>

Dear Ms. Yhee,

You sound like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, disappointed after he realized that the people of the village weren't going to behave the way he expected, the way he really wanted and anticipated.

Sorry, it didn't happen.

If you want to see some of that action, visit Korea anytime an American commits the slightest crime, or is even suspected of such. Tens of thousands of Koreans take the streets in demonstrations demanding the deportation of every American; restaurants and other businesses hang signs in their windows announcing "No Americans"; the media feed the masses with analysis of how culturally inferior Americans are, coming from such a violent society.

The difference between you and the Grinch: the Grinch was touched by what he witnessed and his heart grew for the people of Who-ville.

It might be noted that the author of that blog is, apparently, a student at Princeton, and noted that the sister of Cho graduated from Princeton.

if Koreans were generally happy and satisfied with their lives, racism and xenophobia would not be so big here.

Its a symptom of the misery of Koreans materialistic lifestyles. You hear them constantly complaining and whining about almost every little thing that happens to them on a daily basis. Just listen to the tone! These people are stressed out beyond belief. Xenophobia is a side effect of this.

Of course. It's the same situation anywhere. The less problems one has, the less likely one is to blame another person (or group). You can bet thos minor incidents the author described were perpetuated by some poor miserable ignorant rednecks.

I agree. But this girl goes on like it's widespread and general and that the media is covering it up. Like her Princeton fellow students, including Korean ones, said, she's making a big deal of nothing. She WANTS it to be true, but it's not, and that is bugging her to no end, apparently.

There's an underlying hatred of Americans belied in her writing this kind of wishful thinking diatribe. And why would she hate Americans? Well, in this particular case, she hates them for not behaving as she would, as her countrymen would. Why would this make her hate them? Because she knows how ugly the Korean heart is, blackened by its xenophobic and racist ablutions, and when other countries and peoples don't join them in these rituals, it only makes more evident just how uniquely black the Korean heart is. At her core, she hates herself and the culture she comes; now, even more.
