 |
|
While Dave's has never been short on its ridiculous generalizations, I'm noticing an overabundance lately. I'm collecting them here for my own amusement. Feel free to add any as you see fit. Any additions by me are in square parentheses.

| Westerners, on the other hand, believe in fairies and angels. |
| Quote: |
| Westerners are far more irrational and gullible than Koreans. |
| Quote: |
| Koreans and east asians in general seem to have worse skin than the likes of Europe, North America and Oz. |
| Quote: |
| k girls have much better skin than westerners. |
| Quote: |
| Another thing I've noticed [in Korea] is the staggering amount of injuries on people |
| Quote: |
| I always noticed that there are A LOT more injured people hobbling around Korea. |
| Quote: |
| Girls here [in Korea] fall a lot. |
| Quote: |
| Actually, most Koreans are completely clueless when it comes to any culture. |
| Quote: |
| Korean marriages are basically a sham. |
| Quote: |
| just about everyone in Korea has sex outside of marriage. |
| Quote: |
| why try to embrace a culture that is unwelcoming and in reality doesn't want you. |

I think there is some basis in the fourth one from the bottom. How many times has some pooheaded son of Han announced to you that, "I thought the western gentleman cannot eat the spicy food?"
Generally agree, though. |

Woo-hoo! I made the list.
To be fair, is this really a generalization or me just saying what I've seen?

Never said anything about all or most Koreans being injured. Just that I've noticed a lot more here than I ever did back home.
