As my racist grandmother might say, I have a touch of Korean blood in me (the way a poorly bred Holstein cow has a touch of Angus blood in him). So, due to this status, I feel like I can confess the following observation.
Sometimes, when I hear Korean teenage girls speaking Korean, I think they sound retarded. And not retarded = stupid. I mean retarded = speech impediment + mentally handicapped. I know this is irrational. I think it might just be their accent, depending on where they are originally from, that so bothers me. While eating dinner tonight, it made me want to swirl my wine around my mouth and spit it on top of my face, like a beautiful but disturbing lawn fountain.
But sometimes, when I hear guys speaking Korean, it sounds so good...like masculine and chauvinistic...and I like that. But not old men speaking Korean, there's too many guttural noises that smell like garlic.

your family is racist? so is mine! wOOt.
i kind of understand what you're saying about korean girls. but i also have a similar irksome feeling when i hear korean men talk. i just think that many young korean ppl have lost their ability to hear well so they have to project their annoying sayings and whinings. in every other word. embedded in their words. ugh, its like scratching a chalk board to my ears. times 100.
but then again, when i speak korean my voice goes up a little. maybe half a pitch or so. maybe its some sort of subconscious way for me to assimilate to the culture that demands all women to project their femininity and project "ladylike" qualities to the N'th degree in such a chauvinistic society.
aaaand my iTunes just started playing Boa. I must stop this.
