Yellow Supremacy, God's Mistakes, and Savvy Rednecks

As you all know, I’ve been quite fascinated with white hate groups in America. Ethnic supremacy, I always thought, was an attitude invented and practiced by disenfranchised white people and that racial exceptionalism was a concept that “belonged” to the whites. Wrong! As it turns out, South Koreans have their elitism as well. Apparently, South Koreans take great pride in their so-called “ethnic homogeneity” and have mixed feelings (pun intended) about the influx of non-Koreans pouring into the country to fill low status jobs. But this goes beyond the usual xenophobia because the emphasis here is on “pure-blood” nationalism. Hmmm. Could it be that because Korea has been invaded by both the Chinese and Japanese, the result is that sexual slavery and rape of Korean woman were all too familiar over the centuries ... and that this current wave of racial purity is overcompensation? Korean women who were forced into sexual slavery in China or who served as “comfort women” in Japan were ostracized and stigmatized for giving birth to “mixed” offspring and for having, literally, slept with the enemy. They were seen as tainted and their children were viewed as shameful mongrels. This contempt carries to the present day where Korean women who socialize in public with a foreigner – regardless of socioeconomic status -- are given dirty looks and may even experience verbal and physical assault. To marry a foreigner is the ultimate act of not only patriotic betrayal, but racial betrayal as well. Even North Korea is neurotically eugenical: Korean women who return home pregnant after going to China to find food are forced to get abortions lest the Korean gene pool become contaminated. Wow.

Next: Who says rednecks have to be stupid? Not me! And apparently not a lot of really smart, progressive, rural Americans. Check out The Blog of The Week: http://www.hillbillyreport.org/
