Episode 50: Korea? North or South? (Stereotypes)
Manage episode 424642687 series 3501169
This week Jun and Daniel discuss common stereotypes Koreans and Americans might have of each other and to what extent they agree with them. While all stereotypes are neither accurate nor fair, there is no denying they exist and shape our perceptions, interactions, and cultures in meaningful ways. As always, as our hosts engage in light-hearted conversation around a variety of topics, they hope to foster deeper understanding and empathy of each other’s cultures. What is a common misconception Koreans have of Korean Americans, and what fuels it? What is a challenge Korean Americans have that might be foreign for Koreans who have never lived outside of Korea? What is a common frustration that both Koreans and Korean Americans share? Do Americans live in constant fear of getting shot? Are all Koreans good at math? How bad does Korean food smell? How bad do Americans smell? Do Americans really hook-up as much as Western media depicts? Do Koreans still eat dog meat? Are all Koreans good at computer games? Is America perfect?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel and Jun bond over similar childhood trauma stemming from their well-intentioned mothers.
