Yeonmi Park, 27, said she found tons of similarities between America, a democracy, and North Korea , a country under Kim Jong Un's totalitarian dictatorship.
A North Korea n defector has said the anti-American sentiment in Ivy League universities reminded her of her childhood in North Korea. During an interview with Fox News, Yeonmi Park, who graduated from Columbia University , drew parallels between the so-called 'cancel culture' in US universities and Kim Jong Un’s regime, saying she couldn’t believe she was sitting “in North Korea's classroom or in America's classroom.”
Yeonmi claimed that North Korean children are instructed to equate the term and persona of "American" with "bastard", and memories of that society came flooding back when she enrolled at Columbia University in ny City's Morningside Heights. She further claimed that the professors at Columbia blamed the us for the issues in Africa and Asia, which she “couldn’t believe.”
"Literally every professor was saying the issues that we've in today's world is due to White men [and] how they colonised Africa [and] Asia, that's how they ruin everything and that they are those who must be blamed -- and that i couldn't believe it,” Yeonmi told Fox News.
The North Korean escapee said she found tons of similarities between America, a democracy, and North Korea , a country under totalitarian dictatorship, including “anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctitude .” Expressing shock and confusion on issues surrounding gender and language, Yeonmi said that each class asked students to announce their preferred pronouns.
"English is my third language. I learned it as an adult. I sometimes still say 'he' or 'she' by mistake and now they're getting to inquire from me to call them 'they'? How the heck do I incorporate that into my sentences?" she asked rhetorically.
"Even North Korea isn't this nuts. North Korea was pretty crazy, but not this crazy," she added.
The 27-year-old Columbia graduate said that after being sold into sex slavery and placed on Kim Jong Un’s “killing list”, she escaped North Korea and presumed she was during a free society within the us . "My enemy wont to be Kim Jong Un: I even have been on Kim Jong Un's killing list of individuals for several years because I spoke out, and my original family got punished but now ironically enough, numerous Marxists and Communists and Maoists and Leninists are now are sending me death threats," she claimed.
