It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Er, what am I looking at?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I can't speak Korean.  I have no idea what they are saying.

Is it still 1985 in Korea?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

That was my guess as well.  The first one looked like extras from an old Michael Jackson Video.  The second one had some airplane crash and then dancing girls.  The music wasn't that good so never finished either of them.

I don't speak Korean either, do you have eyes in your head?

Politically 1989, socially 1959, technologically 2014.

So because some black dude enunciates slowly "Where is Nam-San" Korea is undeniably racist and you rest your case?  :hmm:  :wacko:

It's the entirety of the presentation, though I suppose my experience in Korea allows me to read between the lines better than those who haven't been there.

Then maybe you shouldn't have rested your case.

I don't see how anyone could watch that first video and say it's not racist.

No shit! :lol:

Looking at the first video I have to agree that it's racist ... because it makes Koreans look like retarded douchebags.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That's not what normal Korean videos look like, more like they're interpretation of African-American culture. Itaewon is Seoul's foreign district, and it's where American soldiers go party.

I dunno, if that video is racist, then Swedish Rednex is, too, for mocking the rural South.
