[Jake21066]

I’m Korean, and people think I’m p***ed half the time because I don’t really smile unless there is a good reason to (a great joke, a promotion?). Incidentally, Koreans have very angular, chiseled features that make us look very ‘hard.’ In stark contrast to Chinese or Japanese, I’ve had white/black people tell me I look intimidating. But I can also understand why some blacks would have such sullen, even p***ed-off expressions. They’ve been through a lot, and they still go through a lot.

I tend to be reserved around white people, and I don’t smile much. Most of the time, it’s because I’m sick of having to put on a fake smile and pretend I’m having a fantastic day (even when I’m not). This, I think, is a tendency of people in ‘White American culture.’ Basically, the idea is to show your pearly whites in public, then grumble in private. I don’t subscribe to that.
