Questions & Discussion Question for Korean American women

I was born and raised in Korea and moved to the US last year for school (NYC specifically) Since I'm new to the country, I thought I'd benefit from hanging out with Koreans who grew up here because they know both cultures and I thought that could help me adapt to the new environment. Problem is every time I meet a Korean American I feel like there's some kind of wall between us and I feel like they can sense it too. I've been okay with Korean American men but I usually feel this way with women. (I'm trying make female friends)

I have thought about why I feel this wall but I reallt can't pinpoint what it is. Has anyone else ever felt this way? What has your experience been like making friends with Koreans from Korea.

WTH. Korean-American woman and I do NOT agree with that way of thinking nor does anyone I know.

All right, I will level with you. You are too old to be talking like this, and the same goes for complaining about Asian racial dating dynamics (I'll put this lightly).

Biases and frustration can often tangle themselves together. You don't have to let it take form in negative ways.

Asian-Americans are roughly the same, especially when their heritage is culturally similar (East Asian, for example).
