This is a very interesting exercise in primary source history, @goldgrifin007. You picked up the evidence from blogs that you read here, from the people who live different lives in different places, and you put them together in a kind of thesis. It's a fascinating result.

Let me give you some information that affirms and corrects what you write.

For one thing. I was never beautiful. My mother was Sicilian and my father descended from Northern Europe. I was and am a feminist. Being a feminist in the U.S. meant, for me, not working in an office. After working in an office, I sought and obtained a job that involved working in cargo rooms and warehouses. I worked shifts, morning noon and night. Sometimes I was all alone and was responsible for millions of dollars of merchandise. I was indeed a feminist. Feminism is believing that men and women may be different but have equal rights to strive and achieve to the best of their ability.

As for the races being different in different parts of the country--no, that's not the case. We have different races, but these are not confined to one part of the country. We have farmers in the middle of the country, but also in New York and on the West Coast. My grandfather was a farmer, in upper New York. We have regional differences for sure, but I travel around the country and everywhere I go I feel at home. I could move tomorrow from New York to Wisconsin or Oregon and fit right in with the people who live there.

New York City does have a lot of immigrants, more than many other places. I think, though, Miami, Florida might have more and also Los Angeles, California.

All across the country we speak English, but where I live there are so many immigrants that public notices are also published in Spanish and Chinese. We have school holidays in my community for Christian, Jewish, Chinese and Muslim holidays. Not all areas of the U.S. do that.

Anyway, I hope this helped to clear up the picture a bit for you. I have read a great deal about Korea and its history. I know something about how your writing system evolved. I love Korean movies and shows. My daughter and granddaughter visited Korea (when my granddaughter was just learning to walk as a child). As a matter of fact, I have a picture of my granddaughter dancing in a hanbok.

The more we know about other cultures, the more we understand about them, the greater our understanding of human beings. There is no more fascinating study than the study of human nature.

I hope you have a great week.
