코미디언 자니 윤은 1970년대에 미국 TV 토크쇼의 전설 ‘자니 카슨 쇼’에 출연했다. 데뷔 무대의 ‘필살기’는 6·25였다. 한국은 몰라도 한국전쟁은 모두가 알기 때문이었다. “우리 집은 찢어지게 가난했다. 온 식구가 쫄쫄 굶은 채 단칸방에 누워 있는데 밤중에 도둑이 들어왔다. 얼씨구나하고 일어나 도둑을 털었다.” 미국 시청자들은 폭소를 터뜨렸지만 재미교포들은 눈물을 흘렸다.

대한민국은 국내총생산(GDP) 기준 세계 10위권 경제 대국이다. 국방비 기준으로는 세계 8위다. 세계적으로 경쟁하는 분야에서 세계 최고 수준의 한국인이 포진해 있다. 기업만 봐도 삼성전자·LG전자·SK하이닉스·현대자동차 등 세계적 명성을 날리는 기업이 많다. 음악에서는 조수미를 비롯해 BTS와 싸이가 세계 정상 수준이다. 영화에서도 봉준호와 윤여정이 세계 정상을 찍었다. 박세리에서 시작한 여성 골프의 신화는 지금도 계속 새롭게 쓰이고 있다. 이런 분야에 노벨상이 있다면 우리나라는 이미 노벨상을 여럿 받았을 것이다.

I don't know whether it has to be blamed on '열등의식' which we all experienced as a minority but for some reason, by the culture? Koreans, even American-born, share such passive attitude on their social contacts whenever I encounter through the meeting and workshops though the time has been changed.
Indeed, after I delivered a lecture at the Northwestern Vascular Symposium, the last out of town trip to Chicago before the COVID pandemic, I had a unique experience to share the dinner with young Asian American surgeons group and had a hot discussion with them on this specific issue- we were '주눅이 들어' as FMGs but they are NOT! It motivated me to agree to deliver the talk to FJV International Society this July 9th to encourage/tell them 'they are as good as if not better than White surgeons' -see the attachment!

Yes, certainly they will need encouragement to join the mainstream instead of floating around to remain in the periphery by no means! Bless them!

After all, Koreans are the 'survivor' like Jews!
Indeed, one Jewish thoracic surgeon at Richmond, Virginia I met when I rotated to the local Richmond Memorial Hospital, insisted Koreans are the lost tribe of Jew who escaped to the East based on his study/investigation including the food, lifestyle, music, and etc.
I simply laughed off, then but I started to find such similarity of the misery struggling to survive for thousand years to surprise me like 개밥에 도토리알. Indeed, I occasionally agree/understand why he believes Koreans are one of the Jewish descendants especially whenever my wife accused me of a 'spiritually' Jew whenever I fall deep into Yiddish music; such similarity with gut-wrenching cry Korean '창' like 심청전. I also noticed and even plain popular folksong like 정선 아리랑 shares similar feeling I enjoy double. So we created/showed a new diaspora but by Koreans this time to the world!
Bless Koreans though they are NOT a chosen people like Jews but who cares? Shalom Aleijem!!!

Forgot to explain on this ‘Shalom Aleichem’ though many already know it very well together with ‘Hava Nagila’ but it is a Jewish liturgical poem they sing every Friday night upon returning home from synagogue prayer. Indeed, it is a traditional song signaling the beginning of the Shabbat, welcoming the angels who accompany a person home on the eve of the Shabbat. It is now nearly universal, sung by Jews on Friday night, and can be found in the Torah as the most ancient Jewish prayer. BB Lee

I cannot download the attachments. So, I do not know what you are
trying to say in the text, but I think "Asian American surgeons are as good as if not better
than white surgeon" has some racist connotations. I just don't think it is right to
say any group classified by race is better or same as another in any set of skills in
public.
As an Anesthesiologist, I know Asian surgeons are better than white surgeons in general.
But there are exceptions just like any other thing. I wouldn't say it in public.

Regretfully, such racism is getting more visible these days throughout society. Of course, it was there all along but we intentionally gave a blind eye but we, the Asian minority no longer should pretend nothing ever(?) happened to us but have to join the movement(?) to let others know we also share the same pain. So I modified/added the word "white" to say
But times have changed, and there's less discrimination. So many first- and second-generation Asian Americans are now actively engaged in various medical specialties, including vascular surgery, with fewer restrictions, and I am so proud of them.
However, I cannot help but sometimes discern a difference in their behavior, including their reactions in a social setting, from established, white doctors. Of course, we all know that the cultural and familial background we were raised in substantially impacts overall behavior. Asian culture is quite different from American culture, which is basically Western/European culture.
To present to FJV International Society this July 9 through the zoom conference.

Koreans are luckier than Jews. Koreans have their legitimate land, but Israelis don't.
Koreans and Israelis are second to none on survival.
The defiant attitude of Korean and Jewish women is surprisingly similar.

But today, thanks to rising Asian-Jewish intermarriage rates and more visibility (Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, most recently), Asian-American and Jewish pairings are far from exotic. It makes sense, especially in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco where the populations coexist in greater numbers. Generally speaking, Asians and Jews have a lot in common: a strong sense of family and culture, priorities on education and success, and troubled wartime histories. And let’s be honest, a Korean mother is basically a Jewish mother with a stronger accent.

오늘 중앙일보 오피니언 난에서 읽은 글 이다. 너무나 반가왔다.
종래의 열등의식에 찌든 그런 것들이 아니었다. 당당한 자주독립국가
엘리트들의 생각이었다.
