Proud Son of Korea

Proud Son of Korea

I am the son of Korea

Born in the peaceful city of South Korea

the son of mountains and ocean

I am the son of Chungju, Korea

made of winds that swift through the crop fields

and the clear sound of the ocean.

Grandson of my ancestors who ruled Korea for thousands of years.

Where my eyes see abundant apple trees

and where my tongue enjoys the spiciness of peppers.

I speak Korean with proud; it is my natural,

way of describing my uniqueness

Born in peninsula, with the taste of salty sea

sweet smell of Grandmother's sweat who now I will see in Heaven

Rich brown soils of Korea, surrounded by mountains

who gives fresh cool air to the farmers.

Fall, everything is brown, red, yellow, and green.

Trees shake their leaves off, people harvest the crops

mountains turn into beautiful bright colors

Oceans making calming waves with ever blue

I am not Japanese, they are our neighbors who did

cruel things to our people

I am not Chinese, they are a neighbor with great lands

I am Korean, pure blooded.

I am proud to be son of Korea

I am me

British Woman rants out on African American woman in England

A little more than a month ago, this racism happened at a train in England.
The story goes like this. The British woman ranted on a African American about how England is no longer 'England' because of all these different 'colored' immigrants from other countries or continents. She was verbally abusing the African Woman by saying "go back to where ever you came from" just because the lady was black, the British Woman ranted out in front of everyone, even her little child was present at that moment. The British Woman was arrested after.


My opinion: Well, I truly think that the British Woman deserved to be arrested. Even if she was in America, where Freedom of Speech exists, those verbal abuse designed as violence against other races. Races does not exist, it's just our modern day human ideas. I am from South Korea, even though I was not discriminated by others like this African American woman but I had gone through some half serious stereotypes against me. I know how this African American woman feels and because of it I have no objection about the British woman getting arrested.
