English tips for Koreans...

"Mi-Gook Sah Rahm" (미국사람) does not mean "white person" (백인).

I just notice when Koreans refer to a caucasian (American), they call the person an "American" not for his or her citizenship, but for that person's race.

But for some reason, if the American person is African-American, he's not a "Mi-Gook Sah Rahm", he is a "Hoog-een" (a black person-흑인).

Oh yes! African-Americans indeed helped shape America.
Lincoln was a good ol man; but I was never sure what the deal with Kennedy was except the fact he was young and assassinated.

Driving in America...it is a beautiful experience. I miss it so much. If you ever go, be very careful where you drive, though...know where you're going.
