I'm not doing well here so far

Just because a foreigner chooses not to hang out with or be "friends" with other foreigners does not make them "odd" or "anti-social" but carry on.

Aw, you quoted the same thing 3 times over not quoting any other thing I said.  Does it make you feel special?  Maybe someday you can find a special happy place and even meet some "special" friends.  Cheer up junior.  Life will get better for you some day. 

In my experience, the ones actively avoiding other foreigners and wearing it like a badge of honor are the least well adjusted ones. They leave quicker than most.

Well, I know which 3 or 4 foreigners here are the best of "buddies" spending every weekend cuddling down by the Han River.  Seoul is a short jaunt for you all.... 

You sure don't avoid other foreigners....

I have been here since 2004 "Orkblut". You since 2012?

That said, you again misread the situation.
You characterize my father's action as a hate crime when it was far from it. He escaped the holocaust by traveling only by night toward home after he got off the train. It took many days, and finally he returned. None of his family members on that train headed north (Poland? Russia?) ever came back. WWII was terrible. Hitler was on a mission. The Soviets kicked his ***. America cleaned up. History 101.

My dad was there. He had not a prejudiced bone in his body truly. He repeated reminded me that i was delivered at birth by a doctor Chang, from China. He at age 68 hosted a dinner with his Lions club members, mostly police officers, postal workers and small businessmen, and my dad invited a Sikh friend (that guy he grew corn with for two summers) and i saw racism up close and personal. Two cops looked like they were eating ****. They left early, thankfully. It impacted my brain greatly.

Times change. Yet people change differently.

My dad never once let me say anything negative about Asian or black or any minority person in our community without him giving a counterpoint.

Dinner with Trudeau in a Montreal Lebanese restaurant was the height of what my dad heralded.

you mention race a lot here, but i notice you fail to bring up sexuality. what did your dad have to say about homosexuals?

"Take the next train."

I am still miffed about the Trudeau in a Lebanese restaurant in Montreal line.  Is he implying he went to lunch with one of the Trudeaus at a Lebanese restaurant in Montreal?  But, even if that did happen, what did it mean?  I went to university in Montreal likely around the same time Justin did.  And as I twice saw his dad walking along the street alone without drawing attention, no one would've given Justin a second look.  Anyways, it would've been two white guys going to a Lebanese restaurant.  I know Basha was a very popular Lebanese restaurant for students back in the day. It was where I first tried hummus.  There would've been nothing ground breaking about going to a Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. 

Seeing as I have read numerous times where Van had a phone call with Pierre Trudeau, I am going to guess this recollection comes from the book "Van Facts" where we can also find the tale of Terry Fox setting off from the Pacific Ocean and meeting up with Van in Kamloops.  However, I am still trying to figure out how going to a Lebanese restaurant heralded anything other than being hungry?

While a Lebanese restaurant would not be my first choice for a hot romantic date, if it works, it works. One can only guess at the vows that were exchanged over a steaming hot plate of kafta.
