One of the more hilarious articles I've read in a long time, courtesy of guest JEWCY blogger and Fulbright Scholar, Patricia Park: FFJD Guest Post: The Reason My Korean Family Is Actually Jewish On Paper
Do you know what I sacrificed for you?…I was in labor with you for 8 hours, and for what, you treat your mother this way?…These are just some of the motherly kvetches I’ve heard my J friends recount.
Korean Trans:
“If you don’t want to eat this steaming bowl of spicy kimchi stew I just made for you, that’s okay. It’s probably because my cooking skills are not so good, because I was not paying attention to my mother when she shared the recipe. But now it’s too late because she was shot by the Japanese soldiers during the War.”
For real? "Ima" means "Mother" in Hebrew and "Mom" in Tagalog."'Abba' means 'Father' in Hebrew and 'Dad' in Korean. Coincidence? I think not."
"One last note: I just had drinks with two completely unrelated girls who were each the product of a Jewish father-Korean mother union. I’m told the term for this is a 'Jewrean.' This just blows my mind."
