“South Korea’s recent dismissal of Washington’s bid to boycott the Iranian crude. Korea wants to go against the United States. Fake allies are more worthless than an enemy. The Koreans are like the traitors who will do anything and side with any to get their whims, kthen they betray you

Koreans if you refuse to support sanctions for Iran’s oil than that means you are siding with Irans and are commiting atrocities agaisnt the people of Israel”

And what humanitarian cause are the sanctions supporting? This isn’t some human right violation that the U.S. is protesting, but just a means to enforce its own status quo on the rest of the world. The U.S. has nuclear weapons and so do other countries. What makes the U.S. and Israel so much better than others? What gives Israel the right to kick out the Palestinians and create their own country? Israel wasn’t even founded by Jews, but by the British and powers that be that decided to take sympathy on the victims of the Holocaust and give them their own land. If the Brits or Americans felt that much sympathy, they should have welcomed ALL of the surviving victims and not just a portion of them. What gives anyone the right to take over another land? Last I heard, when the Palestinians proposed their own state to the UN, many Israeli diplomats walked out. Yes, Israel does not want peace, just to take over the Middle East as can be seen in its takeover of parts of Jordan and other Arab countries. Its goal is an expanded Israeli state. They don’t want peace. They just want to take over. If Jews are so beautiful, why do so many get nose jobs and try so hard to look Anglo? Why must the rest of the world get dragged into the political chess of the U.S., and Israel? You tell me that. Until Israel truly shows itself to be for peace, there will continue to be tensions in the Middle East. When you don’t allow for peaceful resolution, what other options are there?

You’ve seriously got to be kidding me here, right? Some guy like this seriously has the nerve to call an ENTIRE nation a bunch of racist dwarves? Personally, I have to disagree with Hitchens. I don’t think racism is a western idea. I feel that in the western world it is more prevalent, but the idea of separation by appearance and skin color have been around since the beginning of time and is self-created. We as humans tend to stick around people that are similar to ourselves and stay away from people who are radically different from our own. Thus, racism is a self created idea from our own human nature, not some region based idea. This is why we have Asian American activists that strive to push for equal rights for Asians in America. Ever heard of the Paper Tigers article by Wesley Yang? It sums it up pretty well and has a few ties to this guy’s article. Check out an interesting view on it here http://www.abcsofattraction.com/blog/asian-american-paper-tigers-by-wesley-yang-jt-tran-response-to-new-york-magazine/

Park said:”Racism is a western invention and not something native to the Korean mind.” and then again: “While South Korean women debase themselves by opening their legs even for black American GIs, North Korea charts a proud course of independence in this world.”
why “EVEN” black american GIs? are they lesser humans? this slip exposes who is actually racist. there are many white americans who have married a black. can a korean promote a marriage between a korean and a black african? the fact is that that entire peninsula is racist – they cannot stand the black people.

Also I find it really insulting that so many people ascribe these negative things to North Korea, that they are racist or some such. There’s no evidence that Koreans can hold such negative traits. Racism is a western invention and not something native to the Korean mind. The North Koreans might indoctrinate, yes, that’s true but I find it refreshing that you at least do not openly say the North Koreans are racist or anything so negative. I don’t think they are at all. Anyway, its so unfair to judge North Koreans as a collective, to refer to them in a collective manner. If there are bad people in the North, it’s Kim and a few others, the rest are just following orders to speak but I’m sure they all have good Korean hearts.

Well said. People like Hitchens are so judgmental of North Korea, but the real racism is coming from them. If anything, I think North Korea deserves some credit for keeping itself so pure from foreign ideals and influences. While South Korean women debase themselves by opening their legs even for black American GIs, North Korea charts a proud course of independence in this world. Meanwhile they (North Koreans) get judged in racist and insulting ways by the rest of the world as payback for daring to stand up to the rest of the world. Little racist white men like Hitchens are frustrated they know they can never get a North Korean woman, they see women of every country as should be open to them.

This was a very helpful blog post, and I thought Stephen’s comment was also right on the mark. Thanks for taking the time.
