Today, I met my boyfriend's very strict and traditional Korean parents. I had to listen to them while they called me a skank and how I was fat and ugly compared to nice, pretty, Korean girls. They don't know I speak Korean. FML

OP, I lived in Korea for a year and their narrow minded, caustic nastiness is how many of them roll. I hated interacting with them. Loved the countryside (it is beautiful) and the food (didn't eat dog, the rest is healthy and tasty). If you want to be with your guy, just go in with your eyes open. Welcome to Narrow-minded Nastyville.

Aw that's terrible OP :/ Their standards are most likely above and beyond so don't feel bad.

Like if they give a damn if you speak Korean or not.

Agreed. My mum would've said it in English if she thought the object of her derision didn't speak Korean. There's a part of the culture you don't read about in tourist guides. After a few more years of being insulted, you'll be even less of an outsider. Yay for you! Meanwhile, you're dating your bf, not his parents. If you can deal with him not disrespecting his parents in order to defend you then just keep on with him and hope they'll come around when they see how serious your yellow fever is.

Lol I hope my parents never do that, haha just start talking in Korean and ignore the rude comments. It's better to show them that you can take it :]

And until you say "I am right here you know" in perfect Korean it is going to keep happening.

쿨럭... 죄종합니다... 한국사람들중엔 너무 편견적인 사람들이 많죠.. 제 남친도 미국인이라서 부모님이랑 많이 어려워해요. 힘내세요ㅠㅠ

It'll keep happening even if they know you speak Korean. Just start talking about how stick like and slutty Korean girls seem to be, and vd infested. They'll really enjoy that!
