Re: the Korean teenage girls

Ms./Mrs. Valentine,
Do a survey of Korean males and Korean females between 16-30 and see if they're allowed
to marry outside their nationality.  Have you been reading up on KOREAN MEN
marrying outside their nationality?  I think you've been tackling the female issue
and not the MALE issue.  Furthermore, have you also considered that it's more
acceptable to marry a big nose (Caucasian) than a night person (African)?
 
Anyway, the comparison is between Korean males and Korean females.
Are you saying that Korean men are more likely to be accepted by
their families for an interracial marriage? 
 
I mean, poor Jitae (guy) , my buddy who's in high school in Greensboro right now,
and probably wouldn't go back to Korea because of the draft laws isn't allowed to
marry anyone that's not Korean but he can "date" them.
 
That's an anecdote but I've seriously tried to help Korean guys over here and their
parents don't want them to marry non-Koreans. 
 
Anyway, I could do a survey if you want.

My research has required some reading on this issue recently, and what I've read conflicts with the assertion that it is more acceptable for Korean women to marry outside their nationality.  In fact, they risk ostracism for association with American men.  Of course, I've been reading only about relations with Americans, so perhaps other nationalities are more acceptable to Koreans?

I read that 80% of the Korean adoptees are of mixed blood. 
You'll notice ones with very light skin or curly hair.
Koreans tend to not want to adopt because they want a son that is "pure"
and can carry on their blood line.  It all goes back to Old Man Confucious.
Anyway, it's less acceptable for a Korean man to marry outside of the Korean
nationality than it is for a Korean woman because under the old Confucian system
(according to Korean sociologists!) the daughter was out of the family once she
was married but the man had to carry on the bloodline.  
 
I don't know if Koreans don't really "sell off" their kids these days.  I think It's more of a
matter of unwed mothers that can't find a husband otherwise.  They write letters to their
babies appoligising and a lot of Korean adoptees have tracked down their birth mothers 
this way.  
 
SE Asian countries, I don't study those much really.  I think it's great that Americans
will take the babies Korean society doesn't want.  It shows how compassionate the
"Imperialist Yankee Murderers" can be.  20% of the "588" that results in adoptive babies
is apparently done by the Koreans, and guess who takes them?

It seems in the Asian counties selling off their children is more common place then left to believe.
I found this out.  It is easier to adopt an Asian Child then getting an American born baby through our service organizations here in the USA. Got a big education on that last weekend. 
 
Then my friends from Burma, Vietnam and Cambodia made some broad statements that most Asian countrries, including China, India and Korea, parents sell off their Daughters to brokers. Seems it is very is common and most going to Brothels, others as servants. What they had to say was quite gripping.  Parralleing much of what has been stated in these posts.

Actually YSK used ROKA forces and Allege.
He didn't actually say that the claims were true.  he's just reporting

I expect I'm about to upset several list members, but.........Unfortunately, the connection between war and rape is centuries old.  There are a fair number of studies of rape in war.  No, most soldiers don't rape.  But "enough" do.  And, I'm sorry to say, that US soldiers also rape - even during peacetime.  So, while some of the claims are probably bogus, many are almost certainly true.

I cannot believe anyone would molest the kids that worked for them. They were like our own brother or sister or child. They were the most trusting and honest kids we could have ever found to help us. Maybe in some other outfits that happened but hard to believe. An isolated case maybe
