I guess if Cho had done something like win a superbowl MVP award, pitched a no-hitter, or won a few golf tournaments then it would be a case of "Korean Domination," "Korean Pride," "Korean Son Makes Good" or whatever. Where he grew up wouldn't matter a bit. The only thing that would matter is the fact that he/she had at lest 1/1000% Korean blood. If anything these threads on Dave's and the one's I have read on Naver and Daum provide ample evidence of the hypocrisy many in Korea (including the government and especially the media) exhibit concerning issues such as this. |
"Never mind if the person hardly speaks Korean nor identifies themselves as a Korean. Even though the person is a foreigner, we try to cling to the tinniest detail that could link the person to our great Korean pool.
It seems we are obsessed to find anyone that has achieved greatness in just about any field and when that person happens to be only one-fourth Korean or even less, we are sure to write about that person."

you're right. i have trouble separating culture and government regulation. you'll have to pardon me for my lack of intelligence, as i did grow up in america.
so you're correct in that guns in america's culture are the problem. this is an outrage! but even worse is tobacco in america's culture. this problem is even more sickening! the heartache and pain caused to hundreds of thousands of citizens every year is unwarranted! committed by selfish, heartless americans only looking out for their own motives (not surprising, typical american, right?). america should therefore ban tobacco if it had any sense.
alcohol too. alcohol deaths far outnumber gun deaths each year. this is an abomination. those nasty, ugly fat americans getting loaded with booze and killing each other behind the wheel. if americans really gave a damn about anyone but themselves they would prohibit the sale of alcohol and save their people from experiencing so much pain. alcohol only exacerbates the gun problem too, with the drunken loonies heavily armed and ready to kill at any moment. it's truly a miracle that the average life expectancy in america is roughly 78 years, what with the fatness, ugliness, murderousness, and foolishness of the average american.
i'm on your side 100%. |

Heavens, that's a sorry stat. Sorry to hear that. Koreans are so bloody soft they wouldn't stand a chance. Someone attacked me for something I had no part in? Smash his teeth out through his arse. |

| My money is on Svetlana being freethought's little sock. He already stepped in to defend Svetlana. At the very least freethought agrees with Svetlana. |

As I said somewhere else, there is an Australian citizen being charged for war crimes. He was born in Croatia. He came to Australia in 1969 when he was a teenager and lived a few decades in Australia and then went to the Balkans to become a Croatian commander and committed warcrimes. Some ethnic groups stay very ethnic. Second generation Korean-Americans are more likely to be very American. They are not so stuck on their community, would be more likely to have a mixed marriage or not focus on marrying a Korean girl. Anyway, the man was crazy, and it has nothing to do with him being Korean. |
