Comments on: New Study: Three-quarters of South Korean Adoptees Identify As White http://www.8asians.com/2009/11/09/new-study-three-quarters-of-south-korean-adoptees-identify-as-white/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:50:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JC http://www.8asians.com/2009/11/09/new-study-three-quarters-of-south-korean-adoptees-identify-as-white/comment-page-1/#comment-127720 JC Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:54:46 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=4030#comment-127720 Sorry, my message was directed at Jay, who was dissing the adoptees. Only my first comment was directed toward post itself. I personally know an adoptee who tried to fit in with our Asian group in college but was constantly being reminded how "white" he was. The poor guy can't fit in anywhere. So i get a bit overboard when people like Jay start hurt our own brethren without facing the real issue of white people fucking with ours and all other non-white people's mind.

Even for westernised asians/ AAs, Azns, still face the same forces , orientalised and "othered" in white society any way, as jc said, all suffer the same boat.

WE ALL SUFFERED THE SAME WAY, adopted or not. They had it worse because at least we have our own little circles of Asian friends and family to escape to, they had nothing but more examples of whiteness at home. If they were unfortunate enough to be raised by actual racists, then we can only imagine the suffering they have to go through. If you're Asian and you grew up in the West, there is going to be a time in which you've mentally succumbed to the brainwashing. For some folks, it lasts for their entire life - I'm willing to bet you all know an Asian bother or sister who date only whites and wish they're white themselves. That has nothing to do with bring adopted but have everything to do with growing up in a white supremacist society. So get off the adoptee's back - we're all in the same damn boat together.
