What the hell are you talking about? Alright first of all, there's no such town called Riverdale in Bergen County ... that is a neighborhood in the Bronx. Second of all, do you even know what a fob is? Just because you see Koreans communicating in Korean with other Koreans, that does not make them fob. I know plenty of Koreans who were born in America but they communicate in Korean without any issues with other Koreans ... among teens, people in their 20's, 30's, adults, etc. Watching only korean tv shows and eating only Korean food is a matter of preference. I'm Korean and I'm more into Korean Entertainment than American Entertainment. Is that a problem? Where you live HAS nothing to do with in what manner you act. I'm sure there are African-Americans in Newark who act in a very high class, respectful manner and there are African-Americans in Teaneck who act in a low class manner. I'm sure there are Hispanics in the South Bronx who act in a very high class, respectful manner and there are Hispanics in nice, middle class areas like Bergenfield who act in a low class manner. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Every town has people who act in different manners .... doesn't matter what their ethnicity is ...

Yeah...when we Koreans get together, we just get this crazy urge to double park. There may be a parking spot right next to us, but man, why park there and spend a quarter when we can double park and get parking violations!

we europeans do the same when we come to PP, we always double park there. I think it is something the government mixes into the water that makes people double park in palisade park

Your generalized comments about pal park koreans sound more like something personal. You should just have it out w/those specific people who made derogatory remarks about your english not improving. Seems like you're more offended about that and you're just shooting down their general behaviors as a way to get back at them.

Wow I'm surprised this thread has been allowed to continue. Guaranteed if this was about Hispanics or African Americans, it would've been closed already.
Just to add my 2 cents, at least with Koreans you have relatively little crime compared to other ethnic groups and usually by traditional standards the kids are taught to study hard and grow up to be something that'll contribute positively to society in a good family unlike trying to survive in a broken family home with the parents not caring one bit about there kids.

ROFLMAO !!!!!!
The obvious reason for double parking is because of the dreadful PARALLEL PARKING.
They cringe when they have to parallel park even when the space is 20 feet wide. The constant 'drive' and 'reverse', not know which way to turn the wheel, climb the curb with the rear tire, park 3 feet from the sidewalk, and the agony goes on and on. Worst is if Mr. Lee or Mrs. Kim witnesses your parking dilemma and your last name is Park
