there tends to be a nEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF THEM ON WATTPAD-
i mean w h a t ?
kay, here's the thing.
i don't mind if someone really appreciates korean culture-in fact, i find it flattering that people can appreciate the beauty of the culture given to me by my ancestors.
however,fetishizing my culture is a completely different story.
whenever i see people-i mean typically white people, no offence to those that are white-that say bullshit like "i wish i was born korean" or whatever, i want to s l a p t h e m.
first of fucking all, you hoe, no. you simply cannot wish to be born as a race you are not, and here are the reasons why.
one:you don't understand how us asians are ridiculed for our culture.
i didnt get bullied in my childhood years for having small eyes and not "looking cute" for your privileged ass to wish to be born asian. apparently my culture isnt appreciated until it fits your aesthetic.
bullshit.
people say that my food looks weird or it smells bad or something but now all of a sudden it's a trend to you.
completely and utterly pathetic.
and yes, ik not all white people fetishize our culture, in fact there are asians that are equally as guilty of doing the same.
also bringing upon another point.
cultural appropriation.
if you don't know what that is, here's the definition:

yeah.
and im going to be honest here, im not 100% sure about my culture and what is seen as offensive and what is not, however i can say that it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable when a non-korean person wears a hanbok just so they can be "more korean"
so yeah.
two: korean beauty standards.
plenty of times peole have approached me, asking if i'm korean.
i'd reply, yes i am korean, how did you know?
and they'd say one of either two things.
well your last name is 'kim' so ofc i knew you were korean
