What do you do if you're chatting up a Korean girl, either online or in person, and she proves herself to be a close-minded ignorant racist by saying something like "a lot of English teachers are criminals"?
This happened to me today and I basically told her she was too ignorant and unsophisticated to talk to a foreigner, and stopped talking to her. (This was online) |

I feel like an idiot for even asking.
Brian, I like your idea, but I like Straph's even more. |

Tell her that alot of Korean school owners are too...
..and then proceed to instruct her in the differences between: a few, some, alot, most/many, and all.
Finally charge her 10,000won. |

You can try the socratic method.
start with asking, "Why do you think that they are criminals?"

... and she'll give you plenty of examples from the local newspapers of foreign teachers faking their degrees, smoking pot and all a series of other scandals, not all of which you'll be able to refute.
You'll be left with 2 possible replies
- "But the vast majority of us are honest and hard working, and don't do these thing"
- "But Koreans get away with much worse every silly day."
Both of which are doubtless true, but make very weak arguments.
It's sad but Confucius kicks Socrates ass any time of the day. |

| I really couldn't give a Christ about maybe 80% of the English teachers out there. Nor would I expect anyone I'm boning to. |

I'm not ashamed of being a criminal.
You must just be a self loathing hood.
Accept yourself for what you are you foreign crime committing bastard! |

racism :\ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm
A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. |
Since when are all English Teachers a specific race? You should have said 'xenophobic', or simply 'bigoted'. |

| I always found the response of "So? Your point?" works just fine. I guess you could add, "by the same logic, most Korean women are hookers, so how much for an overnight?" |
