She's broken away from these people because she found them intolerable, but apparently near the end of her relationship with these people the whole kpop wave began to crash and now people were trying to pretend they were Korean. I will never ever understand these kind of people. | ||

Actually since we're in this sort of topic what do you guys label non-Korean/Japanese Asians that try really hard to be a native to that particular culture? I don't know how you deal with that many people who act like that Hammurabi, but all my friends HATE it when that one particular guy goes on his usual Korean wannabe tirade- that's just one person, if there's more than one that I'd like to herd them all into a little group and isolate them from our group of friends. Eh, you just do your own thing and just keep away from them, and it's all good :p. At least a few of the kpop wanna-bes who are actually Korean know a bit about StarCraft, so that's cool  . Still, I personally prefer "normal" "nerds" who like SC :p. I don't even like American pop, so why would I like jpop / kpop and want to hang out with people who worship and emulate it? :/ | ||

If not, then yeah, he is a disgrace in my eyes  Well if you're Vietnamese and choose to try to be a Korean wannabe, that is a disgrace in my eyes. Going to Vietnam and meeting all my family has made me extremely proud to be Vietnamese. That does not mean I obnoxiously tell the world about it, but if I were asked about my heritage I'd be glad to elaborate on it. If someone were to mistaken me for a Korean or Japanese person, I would immediately correct them and tell them I was Vietnamese. There have been many cases where people mistake me for being Korean or Japanese because of my lgiht skin and eyes. Fortunately I don't have the thin snake eyes people from those countries commonly have but apparently it must be popular to have larger Asian eyes in Korea and Japan (I don't understand that at all) so it can still be used against me when judging my ethnicity based on physical appearance. I find it somewhat hurtful to not be recognized as a Vietnamese looking person whenever I meet a distant relative =P. I mean how can you not like being Vietnamese? We have the best goddamn noodles in the world! That's why my Viet Korean wannabe friend is a disgrace =_= | ||

Shut the fuck up op and worry about your own life. People are people. You actually regress the human race by having an us vs them mentality. Fuck your Korean/azn pride. You can stick it up your ass. User was warned for this post | ||

I just think there is something intrinsically wrong with trying to pretend that you are of a different culture. Your cultural identity is something that really cannot be separated from who you are, so whenever I see these people that pretend that they're Korean or Japanese or whatever, I feel like they are just pretending to be someone else and are in some kind of way unhappy or not proud of who they are, which is all just sad no matter how you put it. | ||

And this applies to everyone who thinks he has to stereotype himself by putting himself into an "ethnicy box" just so he can appear like something special even though as a matter of fact neither will those people be recognized as "real" parts of that ethnicy by the people who actually live in the respective countries and neither is it even something to spend much thought on. You are what you make of yourself and not an accumulation of country stereotypes you hope to achieve by overemphasizing your heritage. Be proud of what you achieved through your own power and effort being proud of something you think is an important part of yourself even though it is actually just a piece of rock which you were randomly born on like millions of other poeple doesnt make you special | ||

I like. I don't get that either. :S On the Internet and irl, what matters most imo is nationality/citizenship, and this is considering most of my heritage is quite recent in the US and I know it decently O_o. | ||

She probably felt your powerful eyes burning a disgraceful little hole in her chest and feared to reject you | ||

But if someone asks me what my ethnicity and I say American I'd look like an idiot. The only ethnically American people out there are Native Americans. My ethnicity is Japanese because I am genetically born from Japanese people. I've been to Japan once for two weeks and I know little of Japanese culture other than what I've learned in school. I can speak a little bit of understandable Japanese, enough to converse with a native speaker, which is actually fairly significant considering I am fourth generation and few other people in that generation know any Japanese. Culturally I am 95% American, no doubt. But I call myself Japanese because it is literally true. We don't call ourselves German or whatever ethnicity because we're proud of it or anything. We say it because it's true. The only only one here trying to seem special by putting themselves in an exclusive box is you by saying that you are a "real" German compared to the American fakes. | ||

what defines you as yourself is roughly your upbringing, your set of morals and your achievements. Knowing that your greatgrand parents are from japan should not be something which should have any major influence on you. | ||

I was trying to say that it doesnt matter at all to me what ethnecy or what ever you wanna call it you are from cause it's nothing you had to lift a finger for. So I see no point in emphasising it. what defines you as yourself is roughly your upbringing, your set of morals and your achievements. Knowing that your greatgrand parents are from japan should not be something which should have any major influence on you. If your parents are Chinese that means your ethnicity is Chinese. If you are an American born Chinese you are Chinese American. It is as simple as that, why are you even arguing? | ||

you're not really accusing anyone of anything but you're telling us a story about how this korean girl didn't know how to speak korean and you're awestruck? then you start to talk about how she would think of herself as a disgrace, but she has good grades so she isn't a disgrace? it's just very confusing. by making this blog you're being viewed as an asshole because you're instruding onto someone else's personal life. it seems thatyou're so infatuated with korean culture that you can't stand the thought of someone of korean ethnicity being unable to speak the language. Now she is herself a korean but she knows jack shit about the country and can't even speak the language better than some chinese guy. I don't know what to think of this. this statement makes my head hurt. stop being ignorant and stop making generalizations. i try going up to a black guy and saying "hey you're black but can you still do a native dance?" or try going up to me and saying "hey bro can you make general tso's chicken?" in a non-joking manner. it wont be pretty. it's very ignorant and borderline racist. although i know you don't intend on being an asshole you come off as one. | ||
