Is there anything the West considers tame that K-Girls would be squeamish about?

Reminds me of the occasion I gave a glass of southern sweet iced tea to a guy from London who had just stepped off the plane in the US 24 hours prior. One taste and he refused to touch it again. He acted like it was the most disgusting thing he had ever had.

so let me get this straight, its A-OKAY for an American to complain and criticize an ASIAN cultural thing but god forbid we allow a KOREAN to criticize our AMERICAN way of life...as insane and chaotic, Trump not withstanding!

education. Both of which S Korea gets significantly better results for 40% less cost.

But somethings the typical American will never get used to,

For example, I enjoy several gallons of kimchi every year but my family still complains.

The video posted above was tagged in the lounge as TOO GRAPHIC, reported and then removed because of it being too graphic... (Admins disagreed, thank you for reinstating it)

really??? IF I posted photos or videos of an American Slaughter house killing a cow and dismembering it, to me that is the perfect definition of graphic, eating the steak later in a restaurant is not.

YES, I WOULD also never show KOREANS eating boiled dog, either, or showing severed pig heads in Vietnam being sold in the market place, but that is a part of their Asian culture.

Because the idea of Asian people eating food, that to Americans are repugnant might be gross to some, but is NOT GRAPHIC nor should it be criticized.

To me, eating Pork spare ribs is gross, yet many Americans would sit down at the dinner table, rubbing their hands together, going "lets tuck into some yummy food!" so why should squid be any different?

Time for my favorite VIDEO...

You realize there are some countries where parent-less children roam the streets eating trash? don't ever knock food.
