The...Korea taxis haven’t missed a beat since 1988. They still dishonestly overcharge tourists, be careful at the Incheon airport. So, are we to believe that after Karl Lewis [demanded 50 police to protect him as an 'emperor' ], that the cops were all standing around available, already lined up and ready to go?<br /><br />That Hwang Ji-woo(special Olympics correspondent) is some piece of work. He wrote that “Karl Lewis looked down on Asian people” but how did he know that, were there other Asians around or just Koreans? This “Looking Down” on Koreans is still widely heard today even in circumstances such as after Korean hagwon owners steal(refuses to pay their monthly salary, after firing them illegally, to avoid paying severance usually required by Korean labor law) from native English teachers. The Korean hagwon owner will say… “He/she(foreigner) looks down on Korean people.” I must say however, stealing from foreigners certainly doesn’t make foreigners look up to Koreans. <br /><br />Why did that Hwang, Ji-woo see Karl Lewis seen as “crude” instead of funny when he said [Asking with distrust, 'Are you really cops?' and crudely saying 'God-damn,' his coarse, haughty attitude clearly betrayed the twisted racism…] “God-damn” is what Koreans were saying to themselves as they saw all the foreign athletes entering The Seoul Olympic Stadium, aka Jamsil Olympic Stadium during the 1988 opening ceremony and what S. Koreans still say when they drive through foreign neighborhoods in and around Seoul. They sure are “crude” aren’t they?<br /><br />Oh and btw, many S. Korean journalists today display “haughty” or arrogantly superior and disdainful attitudes. The only difference is that you can see it in printed newspapers/online etc…, but why do S. Korean journalists have “haughty” attitudes? They certainly aren’t the best in the world, unlike Karl Lewis. I can understand why Karl Lewis might have had a “haughty” attitude but I’d argue that he was kind of funny…”Are you really cops?” Hahaha!!!<br /><br />I got to wonder what was up the rear-ends of Juan Antonio Samaranch, Raymond Gafner, and other I.O.C. officials? Did the Koreans pay them off like they did the judges of the Roy Jones jr. vs. Park, Si-hun boxing match? If only the American athletes hadn’t “willfully refused to understand Korean culture.” If American athletes had gotten on their knees and kissed the ground that wouldn’t have been good enough, something would’ve been wrong in the way they did it.<br /><br />The Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics ought to be full of similar Korean acts of xenophobia, violence, and haughtiness. Why have there already been and will we continue to read about the concern that N. Korea will try and interrupt the Pyeongchang 2018 when S. Koreans will likely embarrass themselves by messing things up in a whole host of ways based on 1988 and Korean Olympic athletes, coaches, etc…behavior since then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-77188869459902281322013-09-20T22:11:56.734+09:002013-09-20T22:11:56.734+09:00Thanks for posting that link - though having seen ...Thanks for posting that link - though having seen it, I'm not sure what all the fuss was about...<br /><br /> matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-10309710618515181722013-09-20T19:19:09.130+09:002013-09-20T19:19:09.130+09:00Here's the Opening Ceremony video
