EPTI know koreans as much as they know themselves. There is no theorising in it.
We should all take a step back and bask in his knowledge.

The only time people really care about it's meaning is when parents want to pick a "good" name for their child. “Hi my name is Jie Xian and it means outstanding and virtous. Nice to meet you." Imagine if everyone did that. | ||

So why the hostility? @tyce i didnt call her out, and are you a korean by any chance? @rekrul well your white so you dont have a name with meaning so you would hardly hear about it duuude, even amongst hong kong people and mainland chinese people i hardly ever hear people talk about the meaning of their names.... unless it was in the news about a certain second child who was attempted to be named "fined 5000 dollars" a few months ago by a pissed parent | ||

I'd imagine she just didn't want to talk to you. My reasoning is that even if you spoke Korean, she would find you about as socially impressive as everyone else in the thread has. In that case, maybe she is fluent, and that precludes your whole disgrace question. Even were she not fluent, the question is meaningless. Where does she hold citizenship, and is it the same as her residence? What's her first language? Why would any Korean care whether she spoke Korean? The world is bigger than one peninsula - over 6 billion people don't speak Korean. | ||

so in your generalization i guess nearly everyone in the Americas are ignorant disgraces because they speak english and spanish rather than their own indian/european languages ? I could go on with the examples all day but point being is just because u can't speak the language does not necessarily mean you are completely ignorant to your culture. and even if you don't know where u are from/who u are you still have culture however crude it may be. so who are u to judge what is good and bad? and even if that is true what gives you the right to insult a korean for something that only a korean can insult for? what ever happened to tolerance and acceptance geez. i guess if she's a disgrace to koreans that would make u a disgrace to humankind for being ignorant of the worldwide global culture. | ||
