Wait a second, doesn't that make it all cultural appropriation across the East Sea? Or do they demand entitlement to the derogatory stereotypes of their colonial oppressors as well? Stereotypes developed after the colonial period was long over, no less...

It seems like the stereotyped Asian american sentiment is mixing with the victim complex among nationalistic Koreans, which is Wags pointed out is quite silly. Switch between Korean and Asian when convenient for "outrage." Direct complaints about being stereotyped as a group at a group to stereotype them as racists. Such happy and fulfilling lives these people must live.
