Alan Alda was the most prominent member of the MASH TV Show, so I’ll blame him for this deception...
For 11 Seasons Alan Alda Lied To Us
Alda portrayed Koreans as uneducated shuffling creatures that looked like they came from the distant past who had been left back there in the past by the rest of civilization as everybody else progressed into the present day. We were Really Cool and Koreans were Awfully Not Cool.
I know something about Koreans as they really are (not as Alan Alda said they were) because I am surrounded by Koreans here in the part of the State of Georgia where I live. I don’t know why so many Koreans chose where I live to immigrate to but I know for a fact that every time I turn around There They Are. I even stopped turning around for a week and They Were Still There.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that is a bad thing that there are Koreans all around me. I am simply stating the fact that they are all around me.
We often go to a nearby park to walk a very pleasant trail that goes in a loop for about a mile and a half. On any of our walks we might see Rabbits, Copperhead Snakes and/or Deer. On every one of our walks we are certain to see Koreans walking the opposite direction. If we see 30 humans beings coming at us, 27 of those approaching humans will be Koreans.

This bit of Foolishness has gone on for 265 words before the strip of asterisks above and I have yet to say How Alan Alda Lied To Us For 11 Years.
OK here it is...
Alan Alda Always Portrayed Koreans as Poor and Therein is the Lie...They Are Definitely Not Poor!
I wonder what a bunch of American Automobile Tycoons somewhere back in time would have had to say about the proposed shift from European Immigration to Asian Immigration. Would have said through their cigar smoke, “Hell yea! Bring them there Asians in. When they get here they are going to need transportation and they will buy a whole bunch of American Made Automobiles!”
If they had said that, they would have been as wrong as wrong can be. I am The Noticer and I have been Noticing for decades that Asians do not buy American Made Cars. That’s a fact, Jack!
What they do buy are Toyotas, Nissans, Hyundai’s, Kias, Subaru’s, Hondas, Isuzu’s, Mazda’s, Mitsubishis, etc. More specifically they drive the High End Asian Cars...Infiniti, Acura, Lexus.
A small number of them drive German Cars (again the expensive German cars)...BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche or Audi.
There is the Alan Alda Lie...Koreans Are Not Poor! Koreans Are Rich!

It finally happened. Within the last month I saw my first Asian driving an American Made Car. Actually I saw my first 2 Asians Driving American Cars. They were both driving Cadillac’s.
Hold on, Fella, did you not take note that both of the 2 Asian Driven American Made Cars were Expensive American Made Cars and were Both Black Cadillac’s. That probably means I saw the same car twice!
Do you remember the Title of this Blog Posting?...
Very Likely the Only One in the Entire Good Ole USofA!

Lagniappe: During my Mediocre Automotive Career I worked for a time for American Motors Corporation. AMC’s main assembly plant was in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I had a brilliant plan about how we could vastly increase our sales output but no one paid me no never mind. If we had changed the name of our company to Kenosha Motors Corporation, the American Buying Public would have thought we were a Japanese Company and sales would have shot up like a rocket.
