so my younger sister is entering high school next year and she enlisted korean as the foreign language she wants to take

and my mom has the nerve to accuse and berate me about how i have been “influencing” my younger sister into becoming koreanized or something

and my mother oh so graciously went off on a tangent on how the korean language is useless and spanish is spoken in pretty much every country and i’m “leading my younger sister on the wrong path of life”

what. the. heck.

yeah, i listen to k-pop quite avidly

yeah, on occasion i will watch a kdrama or two

yeah, i pretty much express outward, brazen negligence to any other ethnicity that isn’t the korean race

but me putting my time and interest and dedication into the korean culture does not equate to me koreanizing my younger sister and deluding her with my own interests

maybe my sister is interested in the korean culture as well and i can’t help that

quite frankly i’m elated that someone in my family is pursuing a foreign language other than spanish for once, korean specifically, so she can teach me everything she knows and i will become a fluent korean speaker one day know more about other asian cultures, etc., etc.

so mom

i’d appreciate it if you didn’t affiliate my interests with my own sister’s when me and her are two entirely different species of human

thanks
