More Shit Foreigners Say

You hear some batshit crazy stuff coming out from ex-pats in Korea at times especially the apologists. David Thiessen is a prime example of this. One article he had published in The Korea Times, Worst in the Nation, actually claimed that racism did not exist in South Korea.

He goes on in his diatribe to claim there is no such thing as racism because we are one race. Religion finds it way in as he further claims that what we call racism is really sin. Then he went on to blame the genome. Pretty fucked up stuff.

Hate to break it to you Davey but there is Racism and you can find it everywhere. The only difference is the degree to which it appears and how it is dealt with. In Korea it is pretty overt.

He has also claimed, in another article/post, that foreigners are always responsible for the bad things that happen to them in Korea. What can I say, he is quite the fucktard but good for some batshit crazy quotes. :)

  1. That dude is either batshit crazy, or the worlds best troll. Nonetheless, I haven't seen him post any comments (under the moniker Archaeologist) on the Korea times for a while. In my opinion, trying to engage anyone on the Korea times comment board is an exercise in futility and a waste of precious life.

  2. I actually feel sorry for the guy. He is fucking nuts and probably felt so lonely, that he took the drastic action of writing a letter to the Korea times. That is a sheer sign of desperation.

  3. I believe he was paid for the article by the Times. It isn't the first one he has written for them.

    Thiessen has been around for a while spouting off shit like that.

    I had a run in with him on YouTube a couple of years ago. He didn't like what I said because I criticized Korea for the racism I encountered.

  4. And I totally agree with you about the futility of trying to discuss on the Korea Times comment board.

    Although it is good for a laugh sometimes.

  5. What aterrible argument. Whenever someone pulls out the Bible you know that their argument is floundering!

  6. If you had read the article correctly, you would have noticed that David Thiessen did not say "all'. He said 'most', 'a majority' etc. But then people like to alter what he says so they can blame someone else for their problems instead of taking resp. for their actions

  7. Really? In the article I provided a link to, "Racism Doesn't Exist Here"?

    His usual hobby horse about everything always being the foreigners fault actually doesn't appear in the article I linked to, which you are talking about. Or are you? Hard to tell.

    Your rambling is as strange as Double D's usually is. Thanks for playing. You can pick up your consolation prize on the way out.

  8. All you do is hate. All Mr. Thiessen does is tell the truth. Leave him alone!
