It reminds me of the one time I was at work talking (somewhat enthusiastically) to my coworker (Korean American) about SNSD. A Caucasian coworker overheard us and inquired about the subject of our passionate discussion. We explained in brief and promised to send him a few Youtube links. Later that day, he walks by our desks with a huge grin and said “Thank you so much for sharing this with me”. It was an odd, slightly creepy, but acknowledged moment of understanding.
True story.
