2. Article by Suki Kim, author of "The Interpreter", a book I've been meaning to read for ages but still haven't gotten around to actually reading..

Yeah. There's a big difference between the 1.5 generation and the 2nd generation.
I hate 1.5s who identify themselves as the 2nd generation.
Me? I'm just a plain KOREAN who has been to the U.S.
If I stayed there for say, 15 more years I might have identified myself as a 1.5 generation kid.
But nah.
I recognize the difference between 2s and 1.5s
and the difference between them and ME.
3. A Korean-American might make it to the City Council of Queens, NY.

I also heard a Korean-American was runnig for mayor of Boston. Good luck.
Koreans (or rather, "I") have to learn to be cool with KAs identifying themselves a Americans.
I don't really understand why, but it makes me a little uncomfortable and maybe even a little upset when I see them doing that. But there's really no (understandable) reason.
