Korean Job Discussion Forums

This is something I received on some website. I was just somewhat shocked and thought it was funny to me more than anything. He thinks he is hurting my feelings, jumps to conclusions, and acts childish. I'm somewhat astonished, because no one from the states have ever sent me a childish hate mail, because I didn't immediately add them to my friend list, or respond immediately to their emails. I suddenly change my region to Korea, and some crazies goes all angry at me. Then, I ran into some Caucasian guy telling me not to come to Korea, because he was furious that I wasn't responding to him immediately. And he resorted to childish name calling. It's almost like a kid throwing a temper tantrum because they didn't get their way right that second. They almost sounded like the same person. That's 2 crazies in Korea in just one day. Things like this never happened to me from the states.

Body: Hello, I'm Gene, I have sent several friend requests to you in hope to make some new friends, and i guess to have not accepted...which is A OK with me, its your preference...but looking at your profile, i guess you're coming to Korea, I also looked at your friends list .... and you got no ASIAN friends, but 1 or 2, I guess your mixed right?


I actually have quite a few Asian friends, you can't always tell by their thumbnail pictures and their profiles are
private. Definitely much more than just 2, like you think. Plus, not all of them are on this website. That's actually sad you would spend your precious time sorting through my friend list to see how many Asians I have there to argue with me.


Maybe you grew up in a city where there were no asians or maybe your just white washed...which is A OK, but if you think you gonna come to KOrea with that attitude...well let me the first to tell you, your not welcome around here, you think your gonna come to Korea with your white attitude...well its gonna work around here, I'm sure you have some korean heritage in you, but if you think your gonna adjust easily here, you wrong....you gotta learn to make Asian friends, but I guess you dont like being asian or dont like having korean blood in you, if your so Anti-KOrean why are you coming here in the first place...

Growing up in Fort Hood, the 2nd biggest military base in the country with tons of Koreans, and Dallas and Austin, also with many Koreans, means "growing up in a city where there are no Asians?" What makes you jump to that "with your white attitude," conclusion? I dont even know you and have never even talked to you. You make all these assumptions because you feel like arguing. I can easily adjust because I'm bilingual, and if things go horribly wrong. I have some people who can help me out. And who said I don't like being Asian or that I'm anti-Asian. Of course, I plan to make both Korean friends and foreign friends as well once I get there. You are truly retarded, just making false assumptions about me, you don't know anything about me, and don't know what the hell you're talking about. I wouldn't want some childish, ignorant, crybaby, jumping to conclusions type of person like you as a friend anyway.


you know people to come to korea to teach english .... it means you have failed back home ... so you go to another country to exploit the lives of others ... so just stay in Texas and remain a hick, I was actually born in Yexas, but got the hell outta there, I dont anyone really cares if you gotta F-4 visa and your coming to KOrea ...

Not always, but that's probably your case. Some people come to travel or for other things, but I don't know everyone's reasons. But I'm sure there are other reasons. You want to hear mine, then fine. I would've never thought about it if it wasn't for my friend who is now going to Japan. He was all excited about Asia, wanting to travel, learn a new culture, and he wanted me to come too. But his JET program took almost a year to let him know if he got in and they finally told him this week where he's going. They waited 2 weeks before he leaves for Japan, to finally tell him where he's going. Which was going to be the ultimate deciding factor on whether he wants to go or not. If he didn't want to go there, he was going to come to Korea. But I've been wanting to go to Korea for awhile, and I've planned and researched it for almost a year, so I want to go for a year. Don't be telling me to come or not to come like you own the country. Are you going to be waiting at the airport too, to make sure I don't get in as well?

Now, since he got all excited about Asia, that got me wanting to go too, talking to people who are already there and how they like it. And everyone was saying how it looks great on your resume too, since you are willing to adjust to a totally different culture. I'm coming to travel, learn Korean, see old relatives I haven't seen in decades, learn things about my background, and I was here when my step dad was stationed in Korea.

I don't plan on living there. I plan on one year and coming back to Austin or Dallas. If I like it so much, maybe I'll add another year or two. And who the hell do you think you are telling me not to come to Korea. Like you own the country. I am not coming to run into a s s holes like yourself, and I hope I don't. So why don't you mind your own business and go on with your life.


So being from Texas makes me a hick? You are a retard? Texas has some of the largest cities in the country like Dallas and Houston. What is Yexas with a Y? You obviously need to learn how to spell as well.

and by the way I'm not angry cuz you didnt accept my friends invite, if you look at my friends list, I got 100% Asian girls on my friends list that are 100% more better looking and more friendlier than you, so if you think you can attack with that you're only fooling yourself...think about your actions (look before you leap) ... otherwise you'll be in a hope too deep to get out


Wow! Now, because you think I'm not 100% Asian, that makes me inferior and uglier as well? Then why are half Koreans like Daniel Henney so famous? I don't think what you are has anything to do with how attractive a person can be, but you sound racist. You're not exactly Wonbin or some Asian hottie. You look like some old angry ajoshi. You are really a d u m b a s s loser too. Well, that's great that they are your friends. Why would I want to attack you for having those friends? I don't care about your friends, but am somewhat shocked that such a childish and p s y c h o person like you can have them. I actually feel bad for them. You are really childish in what you say. I add people with similar interests, or if I think they seem nice or interesting.

I don't go looking through my buddy request everyday approving them immediately either, like you think I do. Sometimes, it takes me awhile. I actually think your hate mail is funny, because no one has ever sent me one of these just because I didn't add them or reply to their emails. But you are really childish and crazy. I hope not to run into weirdos like you in Korea. I can understand why people get frustrated to deal with people like you and it's embarrassing for foreigners to believe all Koreans are like you, when they are not.

Frankly, I think you gave a guy with an ugly and rude attitude more attention then he deserved. You do not have to explain yourself to anyone. Something went right that you did not add the guy as a friend - tap into whatever that was and trust that judgment.

[gyopogirlfromtexas]

Yes, I was rude. But he got what he deserved in my opinion, for making assumptions about me. But do people in Korea think it's rude to not reply immediately?

[crsandus]

Completely off topic but am I the only one that's having problems reading the pink on grey? My eyes aren't great by any means but I'm having difficulties.

On topic:
ggft: I think you ran into someone that forgets that some people don't glue themselves to computers and respond to messages right away. Even if you just simply didn't want to accept him as a friend, I can't see why he should be insulted. It's not like you rejected him at a bar face to face. The funny thing is that I always ran into Asians that had ONLY Asian friends and no white/black/other friends. I would wonder why these Asians didn't have more white friends when they were surrounded by them.

EDIT:
I also found it amusing that the attitude changes from "Oh, can you be my friend? I'd really like to get to know you." to "Fine you b**** who needs you anyway. You're so ugly and mean." Totally classy.

And thanks for the green text

"Well, the more friendlier and more prettier than you," it's not the first time I've heard this from some Korean. "More friendlier and more prettier," I know makes no sense, but that's what they said.

For the first time in my life, I heard this from a white guy in Korea too today. They both seemed to think I should respond IMMEDIATELY to their messages, and just went off on the name calling and the "more friendlier and more prettier friends than you" thing.

Maybe that blond guy learned it over there, or he's just childish in general too. Is that the normal thing to say when they are mad at a female? Because people never say immature things like this to me. I'm hearing it for the first time in my life today. But 2x in a row, and they're both from Korea. Not saying it's a Korean thing, maybe they are both the same people.

My mom went dancing with her friends to some Korean club around here, and she said some ajoshis do that a lot. When the Korean women say they came to socialize and thanks for asking for the dance politely anyway, they resort to childish name calling and "you're not even pretty anyway."

Well, I guess I learned today I have to REPLY IMMEDIATELY for some people in Korea, or even some foreigners will resort to IMMEDIATE name calling. Where do they learn this attitude, because I've never encountered it before.

[Papa Smurf]

i stopped reading after the first paragraph. you probably should have too. don't waste your time love.

[Pak Yu Man]

[nicholas_chiasson]

I'm an elitist pig myself. Only more betterest girls are 100% enough for me!

[cazador83]

wait, so this guy says that the reason people go to other countries is because they failed back home, and they're exploiting other people?

umm, there are way more Koreans in the US than all other foreigners in korea combined...by 100x i'm sure. what an idiot. you should've told him his parents must've been failures to have their kid born in the US instead of Korea, haha.

where in TX are you from anyway??

[Sody]

Interesting thread, not sure why you posted it though. Just ignore the idiot and move on. I'm sure you have more important things to do.

[therooster]

Laughable . But they are right . the idiot isn't worth your time and obviously has some issues he needs to deal with .

[RACETRAITOR]

He sounds like a knob. Post the link to his page, which I'm assuming is MySpace.
