Ed Chang the Flag Bearer of the Pachappa Camp hoax makes a lot of inconsistent claims and remarks. He forgets what he told who. He changes his freewheeling claims. He often claims he discovered this or that. Chang has hardly discovered anything on his own. He uses a lot of my stuff without permission. While doing so he plays people with his verbal acrobatics and propaganda. Dating facts and events accurately are less important for Ethnic Studies than dating events and facts accurately are for History. 

This is a quoted from a 2021 WBUR Radio Show interview with Chang. Chang is talking about 2005:  “At the time, I did not know anything about Pachappa Camp or even Korean community in Riverside,” he says. “Early Korean immigrants settled in Hawaii, San Francisco and Los Angeles and elsewhere, but I've never heard anyone mention anything about Riverside, California.”

Seven years earlier - At 10:30 AM on May 1, 1998 Edward Taehang Chang called me on the phone from Riverside, California. Chang begged me to bring Susan Ahn Cuddy from 65 miles away in Northridge for a 1:00pm Sister City ceremony at Riverside City Hall with the Mayor of Gangnam, South Korea. The Mayor knew Susan Ahn Cuddy. Chang told me John Lee from Korea Times brought to the previous night's welcome dinner a copy of a letter to Pachappa for Dosan. Chang said that was all the Gangnam Mayor could talk about. Gangnam is where Dosan Park is located in South Korea. The Mayor is responsible for Dosan Park. Chang has a hard time keeping his story straight unless he has to do so. Pachappa Camp is full of contradicting statements like this one above.
