WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

I wanted to share with all of you something depressing I saw. So I go to korealink and out of boredom I cycle through the singles postings.

Well, well, well, what do I find? I find a whole slew of late 20's early 30's professional women, seeking a relationship. So what's so bad about this? Well, the post is INUNDATED by working professionals, women of high intelligence. I mean, it's literally impossible to find postings like, "blue collar chick seeks same." Or better yet, "A homebody seeks the same." Instead everysingle one is like, "professional, good looking, curvaceous korean women, seeks a man with a professional career, over 5'10'', fat people need not apply." ok, so I exaggerate, but I assume that the men's posting isn't so far off from the female posting. Is this just self-marketing? Or is this some sort of sick and twisted narcissism? I mean, you have to wonder, why is a "professional, good looking, curvaceous Korean women" still single at 30's? I mean, ok, she might be career minded, but why would such a "catch" be putting themselves on the web? AND why are there so many of these carbon-copies on the web?????

What depresses me is that I see a sea full of Korean American men and women, who were brainwashed since youth to play violin, go to Ivy League, and make 6 income salary, and to make friends who are exactly the SAME. The average Korean American's life is a replica of their life in a Korean American Church--an army of korean american mothers gossiping about each others kids, an army of korean american fathers comparing each other's cars, an army of korean american youngsters raised with the same exact over-achieving goals; BUT none of us, are taught to meet members of the opposite sex! because "good girls" don't have sex. because "good sons" don't think about girls until half way through college so they can get into medical school. HA HA HA! I mean some of us rebel--and become that "blacksheep."

You would not believe how many non-christians I know in a Korean church.

Let's face it. If you are a teen or in early 20's and a Korean Buddhist, you ain't getting play in America. At least not from other Koreans.

Is it any wonder that the "whitewashed" Korean sisters choose to marry non-koreans? Why the hell would they? I wouldn't either, if I had to put up with all that gossip--and the gossip is like a vicious cycle, because the more you are targeted, the more you are driven away from the korean american community. Is it any wonder there are so many of these intelligent, self-absorbed, lonely korean women? They have successfully become a clone of their own mothers, perpetuating the cycle of "must marry rich, tall, handsome, korean."

Is this so bad?

How many Koreans do you know that smoke weed? Or how many koreans do you know that say, "a christian does not smoke weed, because it's sinful?" How many Korean English majors do you know? Better yet how many Korean English majors do you know that gets looked down upon? Exactly how many of us are out there that has an Ivy-League degree and realize that for all it's worth, it hasn't made us a better human-being?

Well I just wanted to let you know all those single professionals aging fast in lonely new york, they need not lie or seek after a dream that does not exist. That we do not need to go to church to socialize, that we do not need to go to that korean bar and spend 3x as much as a regular bar. We do not need to wear all black. Perhaps if we are a bit more lenient and forgiving of each other, then maybe, we can search for our own ideals instead of a dream handed down to us ever since Confucious wrote down his analects.

peace out
