Let me try to get your point. She has a korean name but doesn't know how to speak korean, so she is a disgrace ?

What if she's not korean and just have a korean name ?

Uh, you do realize not every asian in the West is aware of their background right? 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?

a. it could be that your korean is really bad
b. she was trolling you
c. she's 2(+) generation and hence doesn't actually speak korean
d. any combination of the above

^ Pretty much. I find the loss of language is very hard for most recent immigrants to understand.

not sure if its a disgrace or not since i dont know or care enough about nationalism but if your american and you dont know shit about the country or speak english, well are you a true american?
If yes, then im sure the same logic applies to koreans. If no, then shes a disgrace.

^ this
i don't think this deserves a post. 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?

I'm going with cambium's "c." option with a modification. She can speak a rudimentary form of korean at home with her parents, but is wtf-confused when faced with natives or people speaking higher level korean.

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.

I think this is a good reason why we shouldn't define people by their ethnicity. I'm sure nationalism has its advantages but this kind of attitude makes me sad sometimes.

wow, calm down bro, i have nothing against people who cant speak their own language or dont know anything about their own country. But being that koreans themselves show strong sense of nationalism, i just find it ironic that they wouldnt see it as a disgrace.

She doesn't speak the language therefore she's a disgrace...?

Yeah, these all sound viable.

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.

Well, maybe she didn't want to speak with you especially because you seem to show a lack of understanding among different lifestyles. considering that you take her as a "disgrace"

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.

maybe she wasn't able to understand because your korean was god awful. don't go around saying you know how to speak korean just because you picked up some phrases from kpop or watching a ton of VODs.

wtf? So if she doesn't know the language but lets say is actually somewhat from Korean (i.e his father/mother is from Korea) she is a disgrace?

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?
