Well thank you.
heres the real story on me. I'm successful. Im very educated. I have built my body to the envy of many others. But I still wont take myself seriously. I'd rather laugh than feel any other emotion in this world.
Just ask Alphaxi, all we do is crack up.
ANyways, I posted this maybe 10 times before on Elite but i'll post it again for you newbies who have yet to read my post about the word "GOOK"
Back in the days of the Korean War, the US troops entered South Korea (my parents' country--the non-communist) to help them fight against North Korea (commie bastards).
S. Korea was basically a 3rd world countries. No cities. Nothing but small villages with poor people.
So when the american troops would stroll into town passing by on route to a destination, they would always have candies or little treats that they would give to the poor little korean children.
To the kids, who had nothing, this was like gold. To the soldiers, its just stupid little candies.
Anyways, this would happen very often and everytime the korean children would see american troops coming into the village they would chant "Me-gook! Me-GOOK!"
Me-gook is the korean word for American. So they were chanting "AMERICANS AMERICANS!"
Now being the brightly educated young boys from the country, the soldiers thought that the kids were saying "me" (as in "I am") "Gook" therefore: "I am GOOK! I AM GOOK!"
so thats where the racial slur gook came from. So really, when you call me a gook, you're sort of calling me american
