What do you native Koreans (Koreans born in the Korean peninsula) think about us Westernized, Korean-Americans?
I'm an American of Korean heritage, and I'm probably more Americanized than any other Asian-American. I've been living in California my entire life. I love musical genres that were originated in the States (metal, certain hip-pop, etc). I also like to eat American dishes more than homemade Korean dishes (I'm not just referring to Kimchi). I wear clothes that reflect the current style (skinny jeans, statement T's, and Nike shoes). I have much respect and pride for the American lifestyle, and I get angry if someone foreign douche bag bashes on my country. This goes also goes to Koreans who are anti-American.
1 AnswerKorea9 years agoDo you wish you were of another ethnic background?
I'm an American of Korean descent, and I hate my Korean heritage. In fact, I do not consider myself to be ethnically or culturally Korean. I am a full, proud Westernized American, and I'm thinking of serving my country soon. I truly wish I was either Afro-Cuban or Greek American, because they have a rich and fascinating culture. What would be your choices?

I'm an American of Korean descent, and I have a question, well technically three questions to Koreans, especially native-born Koreans (Koreans born in their homeland). Why do Koreans have this sense of blind pride, speak of being a "unified" people, and most importantly, advocate Anti-American Sentiment? First off, their culture for the last 1500 years has been HEAVILY influenced by the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty, so Koreans who claim that their culture is in its purest are wrong. They also seem to think that just because you attend a World Cup event and cheering for South Korea chanting overrated phrases such as "Fighting!" and "It's-a-Koreha!" demonstrates how proud you are of being Korean. I've personally been to these events and all I see are people just congregating either talking with others or fooling around. They barely concentrate on the games. Finally, I'd like to say that Koreans have no knowledge whatsoever of what it means of being unified. If they knew, the peninsula wouldn't be divided by governments following two different political ideologies. I've been to Korea twice and have watched the news of Koreans protesting against the presence of my nation's military (U.S.), and our democratic agenda. They burn American flags and sing the "******* USA" song created by an activist by the name of Yoon Min Suk. As an American citizen, I want to remind you Koreans of who you belong to, as we Americans are superior to you in almost every possible way. It's a proven fact. Don't believe me? Shoot me an email. Call me a "twinkie," or "banana," if you like, but I will stay true to my American heritage. I don't like it when foreign nations belittle and laugh at America's history of accomplishments and our armed forces.I'm just placing my opinion by following the principles of my country (Bill of Rights; 1st Amendment).
