Larry Hogan's wife is, of course, South Korean

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-south-korea-insults-larry-hogan-wife-maryland-governor-a9625651.html

Republican governor Larry Hogan of Maryland claimed Donald Trump disparaged the people of South Korea in front of his wife, who is South Korean.

Mr Hogan made the claims in a Washington Post editorial savaging Mr Trump's leadership during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Mr Hogan, the remarks were made during a private dinner hosted by the Republican Governors Association. The governor recalls Mr Trump talking about how much he respected Chinese President Ji Xinping, how much he enjoyed playing golf with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and how well he'd gotten along with Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea.

"Then, the jarring part: Trump said he really didn't like dealing with President Moon from South Korea. The South Koreans were 'terrible people,' he said, and he didn't know why the United States had been protecting them all these years," Mr Hogan wrote. "'They don't pay us, Trump complained.'"

Mr Hogan recalled watching his wife's reaction to the president insulting her home country.

"Yumi was sitting there as the president hurled insults at her birthplace. I could tell she was hurt and upset. I know she wanted to walk out. But she sat there politely and silently," he wrote.

The broader editorial recounts the Hogans' efforts to secure test kits for their state. The couple scrambled to find test kits in the days after Mr Trump announced the federal government would leave the responsibility of coronavirus testing in the hands of the state.

Ms Hogan pleaded with the South Korean ambassador to the US, Lee Soo-hyuck, for help securing the kits.

"That request set in motion what we called Operation Enduring Friendship, 22 days of vetting, testing and negotiating an unprecedented set of protocols. Our scientists and doctors spoke to their scientists and doctors," Mr Hogan wrote. "Eight Maryland government agencies got involved, as did their counterparts in Korea. It took dozens and dozens of phone calls, night after night -- sometimes it seemed like all night -- working through language barriers and a 13-hour time difference."

Eventually, the couple secured 500,000 tests with the help of the South Korean government. Despite securing testing on their own - per Mr Trump's instructions to the states - the president was less than congratulatory to the first couple of Maryland.

"The governor from Maryland didn't really understand [about testing]," Mr Trump said. "The governor of Maryland could've called Mike Pence, could have saved a lot of money ... I don't think he needed to go to South Korea. I think he needed to get a little knowledge."

Though Mr Hogan's piece is ultimately about he and his wife's relationship with South Korea, it doesn't pull punches to blame the Trump Administration directly for leadership failures, especially in the early stages of the pandemic.

"So many nationwide actions could have been taken in those early days but weren't. While other countries were racing ahead with well-coordinated testing regimes, the Trump administration bungled the effort," Mr Hogan wrote. "The test used by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention early on was fraught with inaccuracies, and onerous regulations hindered the nation's private labs. The resulting disorganization would delay mass testing for almost two months and leave the nation largely in the dark as the epidemic spread."

Also President Moon is terrible, for separate reasons.

Trump went on a tirade against the country she emigrated from, he doesn't need to specifically point to her while doing so to make it inappropriate.

And that article is from a year ago... there's valid criticism of every world leader.

I don't know about you, but younger folks have coined the phrase "Hell Joseon", and little has changed despite Moon's pledge to 'fix' the economy. Pretending that it's not just because someone else makes the insult is just playing mental gymnastics.
(Now, I don't subscribe to that particular outlook, but that's because I'm basically set myself)

And the article, despite being "old", doesn't change the fact that it perpetuates what some voted to change (If you're not aware, part of the reason why the previous President was removed was because of the same ****). Instead, it's now the political appointees having 'corrupt connections' scandals instead of the President themselves.

Ok so
1) Are you admitting that it was understandable she was uncomfortable/offended? You asked why she was, and then never responded to my answer.
2) I never claimed Moon wasn't terrible, I said the article was from a year ago and that most leaders have (valid) complaints against them. Now, were you saying Trump was justified in his ranting against Moon and the South Korean people?

Why is it her job to act in ways that go against stereotypes? She can act however she wants. She doesn't have to be a white woman stereotype or whatever it is you think is the right behavior for her.

I don't like that so many white "allies" think good behavior is acting like whatever white people think is correct. LGBT, women, any race, it's always "act more like white people, men, straight people, it's for your own good". She did nothing wrong and you're shaming her for not conforming to your idea of what a "good Asian woman" is.

Again, you are the one associating "having a back bone" with "acting like white people." Do you realize the irony in your post.

I'm not associating anything other than you thinking she has some obligation to act another way because she's being a bad Asian woman according to you. You are the one who brought up stereotypes, I think she should be allowed to be her own person and act how she wants. If I wanted to listen to straight white men telling everyone else how to behave all day I could go back to living in America.
