Yeonmi Park Calls Out Privileged Activist Athlete
North Korean defector Yeonmi Park has been on a roll lately with her comments lately:
Park, however, said the Olympic-qualified athlete was “so privileged” and that she does not know what oppression under a dictatorship really looks like.
“In North Korea, people who are actually oppressed don’t even know they’re oppressed,” she said. “The fact that she’s complaining about oppression and systemic racism — she does not understand that she’s so privileged.”
“There are people dying to come to America at this very moment,” Park said. “I just hope they go to North Korea, China and see how humans are being oppressed, and they will truly understand how valuable the freedom that we have is.”

I’ve watched some of Park’s recent interviews. Poor woman has to deal with death threats from idiots.
I feel like this is the equivalent of “eat your food, there are starving children in Africa.”
Someone trying to make political change in their own country shouldn’t be met with criticism for the sake of criticism. Make criticism on their argument’s merits. It’s all morally relative. Yes, we all know NK is oppressive. That has nothing to do with our domestic issues.
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down.
If you can criticize the government without being beaten, imprisoned, or killed, you’re NOT oppressed. Even race-baiters and pedophiles get a podium in Biden’s USA.
OTOH, you might be a psychotic if you think someone playing the National Anthem at a sporting even is a personal attack on you…
It actually feels more like, “Why are you taking a private jet to go pick up your global warming activist award?”
Don’t want to represent America with dignity and pride? Then don’t.
If this country is so oppressive and so racist, why is Berry at the Olympics us. If she don’t like this country, she can pack her shit and leave. She would not be missed because she is the bigot in this case.
I place some blame on the media for for focusing on the childish behavior of a moron. There is so much good in this country, the media seems to only care about leftist bullshit to negate the good..
I totally agree with Ms Park, she knows the difference between oppression and self indulgent bullshit.
Berry has no idea what oppression truly is. The media thrives on narcissistic behavior where everyone who cries wolf is the victim. Berry marvelously fits this category, She needs some new material, this shit is getting old. .
America’s southern border is flooded with brown people rejecting an Hispanic cultural paradise to subject themselves to America’s systemic racism.
And American blacks’ only hesitation in escaping America’s foundation of oppression is in trying to decide which African utopia to escape to.
Meanwhile Asians are too busy studying, working, and getting rich to notice all the bigotry that holds them back from success.
