Love the diagram. Are Koreans studying 1930s “jew baiter” propaganda in Nazi Germany on how to properly demonize white ESL teachers? Or is it something “genetic” they’re tapping into quite naturally.
If they are studying Nazi Germany circa 1930s, they are clearly learning lessons well:
1) point out negative physical differences (we have big noses!)
we’re criminals
2) we’re greedy
3) we come by our money unfairly and mostly taking advantage of the government
4) we don’t deserve the money we get
5) we bring disease
6) we’re a threat to the children
7) we’re into gross and crude sexual practices
9) we bring socially damaging ideas to Korean culture
How much longer until we start seeing Koreans talking about racial hygiene and how our mixed babies are less healthy and a threat to Korean vigor and their vital fluids?

Joe mentioned about the burger war on his site.
Summary: User doesn’t like the burgers at this one joint. Other user decides he’s saying he doesn’t like Korea and needs to get the fuk out and leave Korea to foreigners who enjoy Korean style burgers.

John,
How sad is it that I’m proud of understanding your post in its entirety? Thanks for the info, too.
