An oldie but goodie from the vault!

Here is Part II of my interview with Dr. Jennifer Jung-Kim who teaches classes about East Asian cultures and Korean culture at UCLA. We discuss the use of Blacks in Kdramas for commercialization purposes, women marriage migrants, Filipino undocumented migration, sex and foreign women, and Korea's use of soft power around the globe in the Covid-19 crisis.
What a treat!

An oldie but goodie! What if someone told you that your national identity was rooted in anti-Blackness? In the United States, many Americans do not like this narrative, despite evidence to the contrary. In this episode, I interview sociologist Dr. Jae Kim, Visiting Professor at Davidson College about his research on Korean nationalism and its roots in anti-Blackness. My Kdrama Clubhouse friend, Kerris, helped me out with this interview. We had this chat in our Kdrama friends room on the app. We discuss the difference between anti-Blackness and anti-Black racism and how it dates further back in Korean history than many would think.

I feel like I had to say something about what is going on with the Israeli response to the Hamas kidnappings. Two wrongs don't make a right.
