EDITORIAL/문화 & 예술 :: Culture & Art118 Race and Attractiveness “Which type of girls do you prefer? White? Asians? Latinas? Black?” In the midst of a random midnight conversation, my housemate asked me this question. “Asian girls and white girls are pretty cute,” I thought. But I hesitated to say it out loud. I felt uncomfortable with this racial preference regarding attraction, so I asked, “Isn’t that racism?” to which my friend calmly answered, “It’s just .. 2014. 10. 27. Maps that lead to YOU “Maps that lead to YOU” There are really two types of people in this world: people that we’ve already met, and people that we’ll meet in the future.

An Attempt to Justify the Selfish Equality of Women When my fellow English columnist Kyu asked me if I would be okay with my husband staying at home taking care of the baby, I said no. When he asked me why, I didn’t really have a good answer… so I thought: why don’t I like the idea of my man staying home?
