My prior posting about the Daniel Hong article has caused some interesting debate across the Korean blogosphere. Make sure to check out The Marmot’s comments section on this issue and also Jodi from the Asia Pages provides her views on this issue. Finally, Plunge provides a link to a funny sight dedicated to bitter Asian men worth checking out.
Here is a few of the things that have been learned. We have learned that Daniel Hong is not only a racist but is also a plagiarist. He directly took paragraph six of his article from this LA Times review of Ms. Prasso’s book. Also Mr. Hong apparently worked for the Korea Times for awhile before moving to Seattle for whatever reason. We have also learned that there are many other Daniel Hong’s out there with an axe to grind against western men dating their women. I just love the fact how some of these anti-western man commenters act like they own their Asian women like a piece of property. I personally am not offended if an American woman dates an Asian man, black man, hispanic man, or someone with poka dots. I really don’t care. It is their personal decision to date whom ever the choose. So Mr. Hong if you get a date with an American woman I’m not going to call you someone at the bottom of the food chain. I’ll wish you good luck and hope it works out.
Anyway definitely check out the different comments sections for some interesting debate but I stand by my reasoning that if you are an Asian male that is so offended by Asian women dating western men then that is saying more about you then it does about me.
