Multiple responses from Koreans (esp. from my ex-co-teacher who was a real dick):

You look Korean. Why don't you act like a Korean?
Why don't you love Korean girl groups?
Why don't you watch Korean drama?
Why don't you use emoticons like ^_^ when you chat online with a Korean?
Why don't you use ~~ at the end of the sentence in a cellphone message?
Ewww, you like Jazz?
Why do you wear clothes like a white guy?
Why did you stop using Microsoft Windows? (I use Linux)
Koreans must drink coffee. Stop drinking Orange Pekoe ore else people will think of you like a crazy guy. So why can't you drink coffee?!?!

What do you think of Sarah Palin?
