Carrots!! Ya know there are certain religions that will not eat any veggie pulled from the ground as it may harm a reincarnated ancestor as it is pulled out. It's all in the perspective. I'm 1/2 Korean and my brother lives in Seoul, he says they still eat dog in many places and yet, he has one as a pet. They eat generic dog, not the pet breeds. Hindus think we are horrible to eat the sacred cows. Other countries can't imagine why we would eat a filthy pig (although they are very clean), some parts of Mexico they eat dog. It's all in the perspective. But no matter your perspective or your wartime background to just throw out "they eat dog" is blanketing the entire race without qualification and therefore, yes offensive.

I was born during the Korean War and spent my first year in a Korean orphanage in Seoul. I have my own perspective.

Oh yeah, my brother's wife is a police detective in Seoul, between the two of them they have three cats and the one dog, my brother says that they are all too small to make a meal and one would not waste their time on just appetizers.....
