Korean fragility
I have experienced more racism and anti-blackness in Asia than I ever have in America. Considering our current historical moment, that sounds counterintuitive, but it's very true.

Past and patriarchy
Along history, forever / some woman dancing, / making shapes on the air; / forever a man / riding a good horse, /sitting the dark horse well / his penis erect with fantasy - Muriel Rukeyser
2020-08-04 17:07
Reckoning
I lived through the national travesty of the impeachment and imprisonment of ex-President Park Geun-hye. Massive marches throughout the capital, Seoul, and the nation's protests blotted out all other news.
2020-07-08 17:11
Black pain
In America, the nationwide riots precipitated by the gruesome murder of Mr. Floyd, an excruciating nine minutes of suffocation by police and recorded on video, was preceded by the equally brutal citizen murder of a black jogger not long before it.
2020-06-04 17:00
To the least of these
Many Americans pride themselves on being Christian, and on the right/far right of American politics, they even go so far as to say America is a Christian nation, founded on Christian values. Conservatives have always been ahistorical to a fault; it's part of their charm.
2020-04-03 18:27
Worked to death
The burgeoning pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeping the planet, but particularly in China, Korea and Japan, has laid bare some hard truths about how societies behave and governments deal with crises.
2020-03-08 17:39
Being American
Now, as a lot of Americans who live abroad have experienced, we are confronted with explaining ourselves to others. After all, democracies deserve the governments they get, and U.S. President Donald Trump, as I said before, is a distillation of white supremacy and patriarchy.
2020-02-09 17:39
Unhappy holidays
Christmas has never been my favorite holiday: the glaring decorative lights, the rank consumerism. Even the Christmas dinner food isn't all that great (eggnog and fruit cake come to mind). Thanksgiving, its problematic origins notwithstanding, is a much better day for eating, and less garish all around.
2019-12-18 16:56
On China's rise
I rarely comment on other writers' columns in The Korea Times. In fact, I have only done it once in the near decade of writing as a featured columnist at the paper. As before, I am aghast at the immorality of this particular column, and I felt duty-bound to rebut it.
2019-11-14 16:56
How to ease social pressures
World Suicide Prevention Day was on September 10, and World Mental Health Day is on October 10. It seems appropriate then to talk about the broad state of our societal mental health, particularly its implications for politics in Korea. More on that later.
