Community Berg: Berg and Korean American

community berg: It made her feel like she was a foreigner in her own community, according to CTV. Berg, a registered Democrat, is among a growing and crucial bloc of Asian American voters leaning further to the left in the age of Trump, and his stunt, reported by the New York Post, angered her and many others. Berg, a Korean American who grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, recalled kids doing the stereotypical pulling at the eyes and the mocking accent. It empowers people who would be predisposed to doing that kind of thing anyway, said Berg, a high school English teacher in Denver.
