Oh, but if there are two words all Koreans know it's fuck and THAT ONE. Not that they get offended by it, but they know what this idiot was trying to do.
I spent a few years teaching English in Korea. My favorite favorite class was this class of near-fluent sixth graders. I told the class they could ask me any question as long as it was thoughful.
The school hired a black teacher, which was a big deal. Parents had to vote on it and everything.
Her first day, one of my students comes to class all concerned and asked "teacher what is a nigger?"
That was a good lesson... I love honest questions like that. We had a good talk, and the kid ended it by asking "so when I was in New York and someone called me a chink... kind of the same thing?"
Yeah kid, you got it. Now you gotta understand the inherent violence risk that comes with it for obvious reasons.
