Open letter to Miss Sarah Jeong.

This is an open letter to Miss Sarah Jeong.  

If you don’t know who she is, I will just say she is an extremely racist young Asian lady whom the New York Times recently hired as a member of their editorial board.  Here is her photo along with one of her recent tweets.

 

There were a lot more of facebook, but the really bad ones have now been deleted…

She seems to have a genuine hatred for “old white American men”.  I know that she was born in South Korea, and she seems to be a well-educated person, so she must have at least some knowledge of the history of South Korea, and the roll these “old white American men” played in that history.

I wonder if she has ever even considered the possibility that she might not even be alive today if not for some of those Dumbass white people she seems to hate so much.  I wonder if she even knows that the Korean People were actually slaves of another Asian country until America put an end to their slavery with the end of WW2.  I wonder if she knows how many Americans fought and died protecting South Korea during the Korean War.

I was stationed in South Korea for a year shortly after the war so I know what her Grandparents and Great Grandparents went through.  Many of us from the 58^th Fighter Bomber wing spent most of our off duty time taking care of South Korean Orphanages.  We often took cases of powdered milk and powdered eggs, along with gum and candy bars to them.  When time permitted, we played games with the kids and even taught them to speak a little English.

I’m not writing this to brag about our “good deeds”, I just want people to understand why her words hurt so many of us.  There were literally thousands of orphans in south Korea in those days, so it is within the realm of possibility that one or more of her grandparents or great grandparents could have been one of them… Wouldn’t that be ironic?
