   My thoughts:

   I’d call this a power fantasy, but it’s not your typical power fantasy. He gets politically powerful pretty quickly in my opinion. Instead of being focused on Korea, it’s focused on Koreans in America. The concept is very interesting.

   However, if you’re looking for something accurate to America in this time or a semi-accurate portrayal of powerful figures, you’ll be disappointed. For example, Ford was introduced as a pretty swell guy even though he was historically a huge racist and anti-semitic. Additional, the racism you see is purely aimed at Koreans, which is a valid portrayal, but my problem with this is that you’d see the usual target of racism in america (Y’know, black people) being treated normally. Like, there was a black mob character casually mixing with the whites and not getting any odd looks for it. He even called a white man’s lecture (which he was somehow allowed to attend) useless with no punishment.

   Overall, I’d say it’s pretty interesting if you ignore the fact that it’s clearly written by someone who very little nothing about the social structure of America in that time other than what relates to Korea. Thanks for reading my rant, the incongruity was peeving me.

      Thanks Coldheart for your return. As someone who can be quite annoyed about this part of a setting (history, accuracy): this was precious to read.
