Sometimes I use my brog to vent out my general frustrations about randos on the internet because I don\u2019t want to comment on social media and possibly risk engaging in interactions I don\u2019t want to get sucked into.<\/span><\/p>\n But over the last year or so, there\u2019s a content creator with whom I engage with regularly enough to where theFacebook keeps offering me up a top fan badge which I promptly delete the suggestion because I don\u2019t care nor is it at all important for others to see me as someone who spends more time than is necessary engaging with someone that I don\u2019t know at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n I like to keep my interactions generally positive, as this person is also Korean, also a dad, and although I could be jealous of his success at climbing the rope of content creation and the lifestyle it has created for him, I don\u2019t want to be the jealous fatty of Korean person who envies and generally becomes a hater, because I really am happy to see a Korean guy finding success, making wholesome content in such a droll world where everything is an uphill battle.<\/span><\/p>\n Mostly I interact with fairly innocuous remarks, primarily positive, but also when he queries other parents, I sometimes share opinions, as another Korean father in America.\u00a0 But I occasionally sprinkle my commentary with some \ud55c\uae00 every now and then, kind of as a way of directly speaking to him and\/or other Korean supporters of his, because sometimes there are just some things in the world that aren\u2019t really relatable to anyone other than to us Korean people.<\/span><\/p>\n However, being public forum, this means that the rest of the non-Korean pleebs of the world can see what I\u2019m saying, and worst of all, have the capability to comment and respond when they feel necessary, which is unfortunately to say way more often than I\u2019d like it to be.\u00a0 Mostly because the overwhelming majority of people in the world are incapable of initiating, which includes on the internet where nobody has the balls to make their own comments but have zero qualms with rebutting and contradicting when they feel the urge (that nobody asked for) to say something.<\/span><\/p>\n A lot of the time, my remarks get the \u201cthis doesn\u2019t apply to just Koreans\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m also X Asian\/minority class and this tracks for us\u201d counters, which in some cases might not be completely invalid.\u00a0 But my favorites are the responses I get from what are obviously white people who feel that they have absolutely anything to add in any sort of matter that pertains to me pointing out -isms of Koreans and other Asian tropes.<\/span><\/p>\n Like the impetus of this post stems from this content creator low-key flexing his pockets<\/a> by showing an itemized e-receipt of some ingredients purchased for a future video.\u00a0 But instead of being a hater and acknowledging and calling out the humblebrag, I remarked about imagining his or the hypothetical Korean parent seeing this receipt and it\u2019s exorbitant cost, and how they\u2019d probably imagine it would be cheaper to travel to [foreign location] to [acquire] the ingredient, and ignore the whole time and labor cost, in the name of saving money, because the trope is that Koreans are eternally cost-conscious and the only things that matter are those bottom lines.<\/span><\/p>\n I get some Chad Borowski responding to me that time and labor is free to one\u2019s self, and that they can get memories and experience out of the hypothetical journey to [foreign location].\u00a0 Some hippie-dippy white person bullshit, injecting their belief system to a culture that couldn\u2019t give a shit less about such things versus the objective of not paying exorbitant costs for anything.\u00a0 And then it\u2019s topped off with an umbrella sermon about how Chad wished more people<\/em> were capable of doing things for themselves and enjoy the process<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Normally I don\u2019t re-engage, but this one made me roll my eyes so hard, by the time my eyeballs returned to their sockets, I had already hit send on a response, facetiously saying his remark was cute but [due to his obvious lack of knowledge of Korean parents on account of not being fucking Korean] that the only experience and memories a Korean parent wants to get out of such a hypothetical journey is the ability to humblebrag to their group chat about how much money they saved, and have an unsmiling selfie at the location to prove it.\u00a0 Because that\u2019s entirely what hypothetical Korean parents of this specified generation are entirely all about, and the exact course of action that would take place.<\/span><\/p>\n But my bad for re-engagement, because later in the day, Chad rebuts again because white people are about as other classes when it comes the need to get the last word in, and they accused me of being miserable with a sour world view, which isn\u2019t entirely incorrect, but in the context of this conversation, is completely putting words in my mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n I didn\u2019t bother responding again because I had already broken one of my general rules of social media of commenting on comments, and I feel no need to get the last word, but the point of all this is that Chad here, or any other white person need not bother getting involved in this observation that has nothing to do with them.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, I know that tons of white guys out there in the world are incapable of receiving such a memo, so this won\u2019t be the last time Ben Affleck or Jillian Michaels is going to interfere with my knowing commentary of Koreans to another Korean.\u00a0 But hopefully, it won\u2019t pique my nerves to the point where I feel the need to burn a brog post about it again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes I use my brog to vent out my
