Articles: Teaching Hate
Posted by Domkitten on Friday, August 01, 2003 - 02:44 PM PST

Wanted
Wanted: Open minded individual for a nice job that requires some work and dedication, but not so much that you have no personal life. Must have an ability to respect cultures different from your own, and the ability to distinguish between your coworker’s personal and private lives and their professional working lives. Must care about the health and well-being of children, and be able to teach love and not hate.
I live, as you may well know, in Korea. I thought that perhaps, given the distance of a few thousands miles between here and the States that it would be pert near impossible for me to offend anyone I was meeting for the first time. However, as it turns out, I was wrong.

I realize, have always realized, that there is some degree of bigotry, racism and prejudice in the world, and I have learned to accept it and live with it, and frequently find ways to work around it. People being human have an infinite capacity to hate, paired in many with a seeming finite capacity to love.

Hate is a tricky thing. Hate caused people to reject or react without thinking. Hate appears at all times and in all cultures. If one has read a bible recently one might subscribe to the belief that hate began with god himself when, so filled with rage he chose rather cast his creation out of his fabulous garden, then share even a little of the knowledge he held.1*

Others might trace hate back to times and places that are lost completely, erased from conscious memory and floating around alone, in a collective unconscious waiting to feed on those who are close minded enough to reject out of hand anything that is different or unusual from themselves; a cosmic xenophobia that seems to be bred into humanity if you will.

Koreans hate me a great deal. The beautiful thing about being a foreigner in a country in Asia is that it is completely impossible to disguise yourself. You will always stand out because you are not Asian, and because you are different, you are automatically and undesirable. Frequently when walking to school elderly women pass me who say in perfect English as they pass "fucking USA". The world if full of a beautiful and unbiased level of hate, and it fills me with a rage that makes me want to act out against it, and yet there often seems to be little I can do.

Even here, on this little hole on the web called Shmeng, there is hate. The Devine himself has written about this only recently (Shmeng Membership)2*, the ability to pair off and take turns hating others. Hate is a force that permeates everything around it, and causes those on the receiving end of it to simply wither up and fade away.

Alas for us so many are simply willing to feed the hate machine rather than trying to rise above it. Even I have succumbed to the vile demon that is hate and recently, sharing attitudes and opinions that were mindless and hate filled rather than meaningful and related to a point. And yet, though constantly striving against the mindless nature of the beast itself, can be taken of guard when hate is slapped on me from an oft forgotten region of myself.

I am known in certain circles as SaraDevil. This is not meant as a slur on anyone's personal religious beliefs. I've never had the balls to transcend religion enough to do more than become a pagan, and there are others who have to face the far more vitriolic hate of the masses by proudly proclaiming beliefs that are more unpopular, for example Muslims, Satanists, and those who practice Santeria, to think of a few.3*

Hate based upon religion is perhaps the most unforgivable kind. Religion as a belief should never be constituted as a good reason to judge someone, and yet, frequently so many people are willing to stand on one side of a fence and condemn others in the name of there "god-o-choice". Fortunately, though the Devine does seem prone to a bit of fire and brimstone he never throws it simply because others might be calling up other deities, he is the god of "can't we all just fucking get over it already" and a personal patron saint.

As a young child, living in a predominately white, Christian, and bigoted area of the country, on the upper right hole in the bible belt called West Virginia, my last name Davila, was treated somewhat as anathema, going against the good and sensible country names of Harvey, Scott, and Lee.

Davila was a strange and foreign sounding snake rearing up in the middle of the god fearing land, and so, was frequently disregarded, mispronounced, or misspelled. The most frequent misspelling was practically Freudian in characteristic and I spent a great deal of my childhood being referred to as Sara Devila.

Enter the internet whereupon when typing my own name into a computer to sign up for an email address on Juno I misspelled my own name typing to quickly and wrote SaraDevil. It look at it for a moment glowing at me from the screen and though, SaraDevil. I've never had a nickname but that one really stuck. Years, passed, I went unnoticed and figured my demonic moniker was a joke that only I found funny, and I could accept that people who knew me understood that it worked as a description of my personality being playful with an edge, and eventually Domkitten herself developed, but with the exception of Shmeng, has been far less appealing.

Enter hate. SaraDevil made the mistake of sending off an email to a teacher. I work as a teacher in Korea and currently have been involved in the somewhat disastrous task of trying to hire for the school a new teacher. Difficult in and of itself, but even more difficult when one considers that South Korea has a nuclear enemy about 40 miles from the largest metropolis on the continent.

Hate, it would seem, has caused a teacher, whom I have never met, or spoken to, to withdraw her application of employment. My boss set to me the task of interviewing her on the phone. I got her answering machine and tried to leave a message but was cut off. The time difference being 12 hours, I asked to send a quick email from my personal account so that she could contact me with a time that would be good to call. My thought was, that if it were very late in the evening, by asking her to email me, I would be in a position to find out about it before I went to work the next day at 9 am.

Time is of the essence and a missed opportunity could be very unfortunate indeed. About five hours after sending the email and thinking nothing of it, the boss called me to say he had just gotten and email and he was confused. He read it to me, and then forwarded the copy because he wasn't sure he understood it. I read it an understood it all too well.

As follows:

>Dear Kim,>>Integrity is very important to me. I find it incongruent that a >school named St. Paul's would ask me to speak with saradevil@hotmail >.com. You don't mess with a name like that.>We will be accepting the position with the other academy.>>K-

I read it and I read only hate. Hate for something a person has chosen not to understand or even inquire about. A cold-minded evil that is infecting this person so much that she has an inability to look past SaraDevil, a name itself born of prejudice and evil.

What was worse was talking with my boss and being berated for having sent the email from my personal address. I tried to reason with my Mr. Kim, to explain to him that, yes, she was withdrawing, that no, I was not wrong, and that no, he should not try to contact her further. I cannot imagine wanting this woman, who has judged us on so little, teaching children.

So here I sit miles away from the land I called home, being hated across an ocean for an email address, how silly is that, really?

And after all this I still have the problem of filling the position, which includes among it's merits for the right person a $2,000 dollar a month salary for a 30 hour work week, a rent free air condition, fully equipped apartment, a short walk to the school, a phone, and no expenses outside of feeding oneself. This includes travel expenses and etc for getting to Korea.4*

So, help wanted. If you think you can meet the requirement feel free to apply, but again, if you find yourself a hate filled, bigotry spewing monster, don't bother applying.
1. My references to the bible and interpretation are of course my own. Most scholars would say that hate issued from eating the fruit of knowledge itself and not from god, who placed the temptation there. Free will gives us the ability to hate, as was quickly demonstrated by Cain and his absolute contempt for his brother Abel. However, I personally am will to attribute it to a slightly bitter god. Attributing human emotions to the gods has been done for thousands of years, and I don't think the old testament god (who states that he is jealous is above hate). This should not be confused with Christ, of whom I cannot find a single account of hate spouting, although his followers were, alas, not always as pure in their feelings as he.  Return to article

2. The Devine is not specifically addressing hate, and this is again a personal attribution to the types of bickering that can arise. I could perhaps say that when bickering and segregation go unchecked they fester and become hate. Return to Article

3. I have no problems whatsoever with members of any of these religions. I mentioned them merely as examples of the types of religions that usually get stereotyped as evil. I can honestly say that I have never met a real Satanist I haven't liked. I can also honestly say the only Satanists I've met recently are Bettie-X and her bad ass self.Return to article

4. This is actually a serious offer for help, we are looking an experienced teacher, or even an inexperienced one who has done some work with children, so feel free to ask me questions about it if you'd like.Return to article


Note: Note: There is a real job offer in here feel free to reply

Good greif, that's absurd.  It never ceases to amaze me how people can fixate or freak out on the smallest of issues, with no understanding, and with no information on what they're fixating on.  Hell, there's people out there who's last name is Devil, or Deville, or Davile (in your case) so in essence this twit could be personally insulting your family's heritage over a goddamned EMAIL ADDRESS.
And for the record I would NOT like my child being taught by someone like that.

Tho I would pay to see a little old Korean woman muttering "fucking USA"...that is comedy gold right there.
