I've known younger second generation Korean Americans who were cool but since moving back every single thirty- or forty-something Korean immigrant we've spoken with has been like a fucking creationist. These people exist in South Korea but they are generally viewed as absurd there. Like I said, my wife is a Berner and that's pretty moderate in South Korea.
Like all countries, the bourgeoisie diaspora isn’t reflective of the population overall, but I remember being in college (this was a long time ago) and all the Korean students whether they grew up here or in Korea were super religious psychos. This is mostly women in my experience certainly isn’t reflective; but there always seemed to be more diversity of thought with other nationalities. It always just struck me as unique and interesting
There is probably much more diversity of thought in South Korea itself. Proportionately it actually has a shitload of atheists as well as a huge number of cultural Buddhists who also participate in pretty frequent Confucian / shamanistic cultural rites. The regular Buddhists are pretty "normal" but I spent a lot of time around the monks and found them to be pretty bizarre. They made excellent conversational partners but their ideas were, uh, let's say, hmmm...I once spent an entire semester arguing about the importance of astronomy with a monk who said that it was unimportant because the Buddha had never really mentioned it. I said it was important if we want to, like, not get wiped out by an asteroid, but she didn't care. Still, we were friends.
Yeah, of course. I’ve met Koreans outside of the US when I’ve been abroad and found them to be normal and interesting to talk to. It’s my experience inside the US lol.
