Snobs...
The other day I came to realize that many of us Korean Americans are snobs. Always wanting the best. Bragging about which restaurant they went to. "Acting" as if they are humble, yet so not. Yup. Bunch o' snobs... Many of us became the way we due to certain type of upbringing. So competitive about everthing that equal to bunch of meaningless madness. When I should ever become a parent, I am not going to do that. I am not going to pressure my child to go to Harvard. Nope not me. Should my child get there on their own, great for the child. I was discussing with someone the otherday that they growing up was always compared to by her mom to her Mom's friends kids. Oh so and so's kid went to Harvard and now he/she got a great job and he/she got their mom a Benz....
I am thankful that my parents did not do that with me... Though I am sure that they wish the best for me... And jokingly they tease me about my situations at times, I was raised not to be a snob. Cause my parents are not snobs.
It just shows how us Koreans came from a poor history and having it and showing it off is a way of showing off wealth...
A real low class mentality.
