You know, the ones who didn't emigrate and parents didn't care enough to tell them or don't know themselves? I'm asian and I see these kinds of asians all the time, no biggie. what exactly do you mean not aware of their background? how can an asian not emigrate and live in a foreign country? A parent not caring enough to tell them what? | ||

He/she would think of her as a disgrace is what i initially thought. Someone who would normally be considered a disgrace by their own countrymen/women would in reality be revered to the highest extent. I'm korean, speak korean, born in korea, and the only thing I see disgraceful here is your ridiculous statements | ||

She's just a person doing what she does. why does not being educated in her language or culture / background to the full extent make her a disgrace? | ||

Happens to me all the time. I can understand my family and speak a crazy mix of their native language and Swedish. But if I actually speak with someone who's native and fluent or someone who carries a slightly different dialect I won't understand jack shit unless they speak slow and enunciate words clearly. Also they cannot use too advanced words or academic level grammatical syntax, lest they'll lose me. | ||

But being that koreans themselves show strong sense of nationalism, i just find it ironic that they wouldnt see it as a disgrace. | ||

My heritage is Italian and I'm American, so when people ask me if I'm Italian I say "Yes." But both my parents were born and raised in the United States, as was I, so if someone started speaking Italian to me, I wouldn't know what the fuck they were saying. | ||

If my parents were from Korea and I was born in New Zealand(True story), do I have to master the language, Korean? No, thats a ridiculous statement and calling her a "disgrace" is harsh. | ||

What if you are from Canada, your other parent is from France but you don't know how to speak french, does that mean you are a disgrace? Am i understanding this wrong? | ||
