But,” began the Zainichi North Korean man, “even if we know all that stuff, isn’t it pointless if the people discriminating against you don’t?” “What matters is that we know,” I said. “Those ignorant haters who discriminate based on nationality and ethnicity are pathetic.

Expectations must be met. Don't give up and don't forget.As sometimes it's the only wayYield for freedom, learn to play.
