    @JustinHowe Yeah, I've long noticed that a rise in any specific form of xenophobic sentiment here seems to boost all xenophobic sentiment. (The "gusts of popular feeling that pass for public opinion" aren't choosy, to steal a line from Isabella Bird Bishop.)

      @JustinHowe (An oft-stolen line, really, best stolen on a blog that explores (among other things) xenophobia here intelligently: populargusts.blogspot.com/ )

        @JustinHowe Which makes me think, "Ah, maybe that's why my class was so unabashedly anti-English the other day." Got REAL resentful for a while when someone suggested "English" as a paragraph topic and I asked, "So, what kind of controlling idea would work for this topic?"

          @JustinHowe "English speakers are so rude online!" "English speakers always want to talk in English!" "English speakers think their language is best, when actually Korean is better!" smh Okay, if that's how you want to spend your classtime.
