it is always white people who can't be fucking normal about anyone ever.
What do you mean I have to just accept that people will hear me say I'm Korean American and ask me stuff about ONLY K-Pop? What do you mean I have to just listen to people turn content that originally showed my culture into brainrot? You all don't get it. The constant white-washing of any non-european/american culture. The actual, GENUINE questions about "north or south" when I tell people I moved to America from Korea. The jokes about how I can find makeup as pale as I am in Korea. The ways people repeatedly butcher our language even if it's not that fucking hard.
I've had people use my Korean name and STILL get it wrong. It's motherfucking johanna. the J is pronounced like a Y. Yohanna. Not at all hard to say, but I still get people fucking it up and that's not even getting me started on my middle name, which is technically my family name in Korean. It's like one of the most COMMON ones too, not hard at all to screw up. People do it anyway! And considering my deadname also gets butchered a lot (It's more of a Japanese name) I think people are just chosing to not give a shit about learning how to pronounce my name.
I absolutely do not fucking mind sharing culture with people, I think it's a great way to bond and bring people and countries together! My problem is that it's just...so common to be racist in America. People have called us barbarians. We get boiled down to "K-pop", and at one point were even referred to as "Squid Game people". Not to mention the racist caricatures asians get protrayed as in early-to-recent USA history, the way America actually fucked shit up for us in ways that I could list for a long while, and how my mom actually has to have me go out shopping for her most of the time because she's native Korean and she's genuinely afraid that someone might hurt her because of that alone.
Please, I'm not saying you have to give up literally anything I mentioned above, but you have GOT to start actually trying to speak words we made the way they're supposed to be pronounced. Mukbangs are also a very good example, not only is the content around it getting weird (it was already kinda weird), but you're not saying it right. Mohk-bangh. 먹방. Go run that through a translator. Please. It's wildly different to how you guys say mukbang.
