    I'm a Korean American married to an Ethiopian. We build a family home in Ethiopia and visit for vacation. African people are so generous, kind, smart and family loving and welcoming. African immigrants are like Korean immigrants. They work hard, many are successful in the U.S., or work hard to help their kids become educated. In fact, children of African immigrants make up a large percentage of black students at top elite schools in the U,S, Their parents push education like Korean parents. I have lots of respect for Africans. Sick of my people looking down on other cultures and races, like how people did that to them in the past.

    I am British-American with Jamaican heritage. I taught 2 years in China, because of monoculture, parents and government pushing the limitations, you find that kids don't get asked to dream, as society hasn't evolved to free thoughts. Most of my students wouldn't tell me ,in class, what they wanted from their degrees. However, my email was flooded with responses and explanations that they have never had their parents or teachers ever ask. But I think many are choosing happiness, on their terms, more and more. It's the same in the USA, some live where opportunities have been limited. It must stop. Every child should dream and have an adult who will listen to and support those dreams. Poor in wealth doesn't equal unhappiness. Simple lives and opportunities will make for a better life. I subscribed, this was fantastic conversation.

    To be fair, China is not Korea. They are similar but they are also very different. Also China isn't a monoculture and actually comprises of many different ethnicities and cultures. Even the Han ethnicity is subdivided into many different groups and there are over 200 topolects just within the Chinese language family alone. With that said, you are right that there is a lot of pressure in China especially in education. But you have to keep in mind that there are 1.4 billion people in China and there are a finite number of jobs and resources out there. So it is a really competitive society. You are right, there is a trend where people are less interested in work work work and want to pursue their dreams. But that is because more Chinese are entering the middle class. Pursuing one's dreams is a privileged position. From the perspective of Chinese parents, they grew up in poverty so their dreams was to survive and not have their kids die. Their kids on the other hand, are well off and can now dream but they still have to deal parents who had to work their butts off and had to do the hard work of lifting themselves out of poverty. Also, most people don't understand that after the West and Japan destroyed China in the 1900s, China was one of the poorest nations on earth. Even in 2007, a tier one city like Guangzhou was very poor. It wasn't until 10 years that China really modernized. Anyways, I agree with what you said, but wanted to provide some additional context.

    I have observed this with Korean culture regarding dreams in life. I worked decades with Korean international students and travelled to Korea more than 23 times. I remember saying and thinking that the goal of young people in Korea seems to be like everyone else rather than to be your own person or dream big/outside the box. Even Korean students who studied English and business in Canada, the goal was to return to Korea and work for a big name company. My wish for them is that studying abroad gave them bigger ideas and dreams. I love Korea and so grateful for all the time I spent getting to know and understand the people and the culture.

I have seen some go off to do amazing things like play soccer profesionally, etc. Kids are the future and with the internet they can literally shape their own destiny and change things for the betterment of the generation that comes after. Plus I just want them to be happy cause most adults I talk to say they hate their life/job and if they could they would quit, but as you know societal pressures runs deep.

    He’s so right. Korea has been (and largely still is) a homogeneous society for so long that they’ve only ever had to interact with Koreans and other East Asians (China, Japan) for most of their history. Their understanding of other people and cultures are extremely biased and stereotyped if only bc they’ve rarely interacted with these people/other races themselves. When the only way you learn or access other cultures is through TV, movies, and other media you’re only getting a stereotyped and biased view of them. The only way for them to unlearn all that is to have interaction with other cultures.

    When I first got to Korea, I was shocked that so many people were pale-like at the airport. I don’t think we see many Koreans like that in America. I quickly learned that light was preferred and pushed from entertainment. People with money were lighter as well. There were darker Koreans but that was neat the coast. Also, I could see how some Koreans wore light makeup to appear light. That was weird to me.

    Wow!!! What an interesting conversation. I lived in Korea for 3 years as Black African and my experience is different. I lived an opened minded life when I was there. And come to conclusion that Koreans don’t know much or have interactions with Africans or blacks until recently and that makes them so clueless about there approaches with Africans or people from other countries. I embraced there unknowingly to be less sensitive to what they say or ask about Africans or being black. I had fun, laughter and good memories about Korea. Overtime I am sure they will change and embrace others openly without prejudice. Hello to people of Daegu and Gwangju
