Conan O’Brien accidentally exposed the culture gap between Koreans and Korean-Americans
In the context of the K-drama, the heroine is [put off] by Conan’s familiarity, exaggerated bravado, and awkwardness. The white guy is never the hero.
You might think that a Korean-American star visiting Korea might get a hero’s welcome. But this is rarely the case.
..Going through the Korean media coverage of [Steven] Yeun, it’s clear to me that Koreans don’t know what to do with him, even though his Korean is quite good. To Koreans, he is in that awkward Korean-American category—neither fish nor fowl, inherently somewhat untrustworthy.
…In one scene from the Conan special, Yeun is comically unable to identify any of the side dishes at a Seoul restaurant, leading Conan to comment, “You’re sort of like Anthony Bourdain if he knew absolutely nothing.”

Gov. John Bel Edwards’ latest budget proposal includes deep cuts to TOPS, hospitals, higher ed
Thousands of college students could lose scholarships they get from Louisiana’s popular Taylor Opportunity Program for Students and state-funded health clinics could be shuttered, if lawmakers are unable to find another way to fill the looming $750 million budget shortfall.
…TOPS was created as an incentive for Louisiana high schoolers to stay in the state for college and as a pathway for students who otherwise would not be able to afford to stay in school after they finish the 12th grade.
…Other cutbacks the latest plan identifies: Higher education would take a $46.1 million hit, Corrections would be cut $34.1 million, the judicial branch would face a $15.9 million cut, and the legislative budget would be slashed $7.3 million.

Neanderthals may have been infected by diseases carried out of Africa by humans
