I normally ignore comments not worthy of a response, but since you call me names (only for the crime of writing a column in a public forum that has nothing to do with you personally.) Yet you personalize a public matter and show your anger, which only reveals the state of intelligence. But I am a sociology teacher, have been for over 40 years, at various US universities, author of 12 books, including one that appeared in TIME magazine in case you are looking for my official qualification.
. . .
Have you ever learned to make a general statement on anything? Do you have to see everything from subjective, particularistic point of view or experience. If you are punched by a Chinese person, are you going to generalize ALL CHINESE as punchers? Only CHILDREN and RETARDED PERSONS have this sort of habit of mind. Obviously you take on their characteristics. You are quoting all those experiences. Does the world revolve around what YOUR experiences are? If you feel that way, you are not really worthy of one single word in response from me.
The email then continues with "YOU DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!"

Aw shucks...I'm famous now. ::blush::
Brian, I linked him to your response (and chatted a bit about classical sociology), and this is what he said:
"I checked out the two web sites you gave me. I read the responses and counter responses. My conclusion: I am not really sure if I should take these blog writers seriously--their language, their thoughts, their level of sincerity...
As for the famous soci and anthro people you named, i almost forgot about them as I have not done any "sociology" for the past 30 years. My concentration has been on social criticism. I enjoy generalizing and my latest one is comparising the Holocaust efficiency with that of American capitalism.
Take care, I have to go teach a class."
Those poor students...
Pompous and arrogant and illustrative of the elite mindset that allows no dissent. From whence does JH surmise that children and the disabled follow that mind set he uses as an example? What credible study supports that?
The man is an ass.
Whatever, I'm more famous in Korea than Jon Huer, and people take my blog, its language, its thoughts, its level of sincerity, a lot more seriously than the writings of an out-of-touch academic. And, unlike *cough* Dr. Huer, I haven't neglected my field for the past 30 years.
Brian, a beautiful and far more eloquent response than anything Dr. Huer has written. You and him remind me of why I left academia--for opposite reasons, of course.
Seriously Brian, if I were more conspiratorially minded, I'd almost think the KT is continuing to run this guy's column just to boost the KT's hit count when bloggers link to his pieces for fisking purposes.
Fuck you, Jon. I know you'll troll Brian's blog with your panties in a bunch. You did ZERO research for that piece of shit that was published and you are wrong wrong wrong about what foreigners think? Oh, are foreigners really so enamoured with Korean women over 60? Dude....stop watching the Japanese elder porn, pull your head out of your ass, and realize that a public figure, even one that is a "retarded person" such as yourself, is going to catch flack if you write and drop cleveland steamers in the newspaper. Now get around that, you scruffy twat.
P.s.- I've boned more women that you have have in you 40 plus years of professional douchitude.
Oh my...that felt good.
Huer is a douchebag of epic proportions. Always has been, always will. Nuff said. Move along.
