Growing up Korean in Australia | Ep 01. Rowan's Story

[@fishnow1560]

I'm 42 year old Korean. Adopted into a white family. Lives in Minneapolis, MN my whole life. Adoption ruined my life. I didn't fit in anywhere. Very few Asians in Minnesota and when you find them they are like immigrants. Now at 42 I realized how it totally ruined my life being adopted.

I am korean immigrants. everyone has its own version of identity. though I was born and raised in Korean until 30's, still I have a big question of what is identity. that is the answer everyone has to find and still I am searching . I am living in Brisbane. some years back I met one of korean adoptedd like you and developed my interest on this issue. thanks

Hey I’m Korean immigrants and been here over 20 years I think Asian women are soft and nice and easy genuinely I have been feel like people threat me however it is not always like this and do not worry too much what people think anymore, it is important to know about you who is. Yes very difficult to know about yourself. I am still struggling myself and no such a thing to have right answers!

Well-spoken, Rowan. Remember to preface "Australians" with White- or Anglo-, because Australians and Australian culture aren't monoliths. Anyone who just says "Australians" when they mean "White-Australians" is contributing to the shunning of all other Australians

You're still an adoptee, though, so the makes you special!
