This is a completely unresearched inquiry.

My Korean wife can roll and fold her tongue. She did it one day, I said I can't, and she seemed surprised.

When I was a kid it always seemed some people could do it and some couldn't and it was a schoolyard trick or talent show type thing.

I can't, and my wife thinks I'm lying- can all Koreans do this?

I've got a student that can roll her tongue into three rolls all at one time... pretty creepy.

Of course not ALL Koreans can do it. Just like not all white people can wiggle their ears and how not all Chinese Men with a 42 inch chest who sneeze on Thursday's can touch their thumb to their forearm.

Wonder what that tongue could do in certain private areas? Rolling Eyes

You mean like on the grounds of the White House Lawn ?

Or on Navy Level 3 of the Pentagon ?

I'll admit that sometimes she looks alot older... definately can pass for 10, sometimes even 11.

But still, that's a little outta the age range and all.

I guess since his post came after my post about the girl that could roll her tongue three times at once, I just assumed... my bad.

Sometimes if a Korean can do something, he or she may assume all Koreans can do the same thing.------self racism?
