Ask a Korean! News: Mr. Jeff Meyers, Winner of Hate The Korean Contest

The Korean's writing about expats reached a wider audience a few weeks ago, via Korea Herald. Whenever the wider audience is reached, however, the haterthon inevitably begins. After about two week's worth of hate mail, the Korean is proud to announce that Mr. Jeff Meyers, apparently from Australia, is the winner of the Hate The Korean contest!

Below is the winning piece:

Re: Your Korean Herald article

You are right when you say our "deeply held beliefs" do not apply to Korea . We believe people in all countries should not be rude , ignorant , smelly ,arrogant racists . In all countries around the world 95% of people are not .However , in Korea it is the opposite . 5% of people are wonderful and 95% are scum . Ask anyone , particularly in the service industry , outside Korea , who are the worst people to deal with ,and , most of the time,the answer is " no question , Koreans!"

Yes , our beliefs do not apply to this place , and , quite frankly us "lazy expats" couldn't give a fuck wot you say or wot you think , your opinions are irrelevant to us .

You just go back to living in your little dog box apartments , deluding yourselves how fantastic you all are and for the same price of one of your dog boxes , we will live like kings in our countries . HA!

There were indeed many worthy contestants, but no one could quite match Mr. Jeff Meyers' broadside allegations, made-up statistics, awkwardly interposing levels of swear words, and awful spelling and punctuations.

The Korean congratulates you Mr. Meyers. Now go shove it up your ass.
