He's an oddity. The rest are quite normal and the strange ones aren't any weirder than some of the people who post here. Laughing

On the "things to be proud of as a korean" thread:

Intelligence (koreans 2nd highest average IQ)

Economic miracle
Technology
Arguably the best looking women in the world
Food (so underrated)
Mostly wealthy
My family
Unity with other Koreans


Rolling Eyes



1) Intelligence - Yes they are hard workers, but that's b.s.

2) They're better than Canada and probably the best in Asia so I have no beefs there.

3) The economic miricle is pretty amazing!

4) Technology is also something to be proud of.

5) Best looking women? Yeah, i've seen a lot of stunners, but Brazil and Venezuala would give them a run for there money, but that's just me. Nonetheless, Korean girls over all are quite sexy.

6) I love the food!

7) I've seen mostly working class people here. Not a wealthy country compared to Western standards. Perhaps Asian ones.

Cool Family is strong which has its good and bad points.

9) ha ha ha Korean War and the continuing Cold War on the pennensula.

I just hate reading that site. That and the fighting44s.

Why is it that every Asian-focused site reads like stormfront? Good god they hate others. And they have such a pathetic issue with "their" women dating non-Korean/Chinese etc.

It is just like what I would picture Stormfront being. Maybe it should be called Sutom Purontuh?

I guess it's easy enough to join that site, if you wanted to get involved with the discussion. I was banned (on purpose) several times long ago, so now I just read the antics when I've exhausted all other entertainment outlets.

To be fair it's not all bad.

Quote:
It is a good thing. Korea is a great country, and the influx of foreigners is a testament to that fact. Why would anyone want to come to a crappy place? The fact that Korea and Koreans welcome foreigners will do nothing but help this nation grow into a superpower.



Well superpower.....I don't think so, but this dude welcomes the immigrants.

Quote:
And, be sure of this: You have to have foreigners to succeed in this world. All of you isolationists need only look to the North as an example of the "utopia" you all think Korea would be with no foreigners.





Okay, but there is also some pretty bad stuff on that thread too:

Quote:
I think they might leave if they truly love and understands Korea, but they don't have the maturity or understanding for that. I can imagine the dog smile on their faces.


What does this eve mean?

Here's one of the worst I've found:

"Thats just rediculous dude. What you call "racial discrimnation" is nothing more than the western defined sensibility that is grounded on an inferior level of sentient thought perpetrated by the western powers upon the world. We far east asians, have a heightened sense of genetic preservation that is part of our superior evolutionary development brought on by the unique selective pressures that ushered forth genetic mutations that are uniquely our own, and make us "far east asians"

Never become a puppet of western propaganda, because it leads to racial death, and race is the primary foundation, which rests everything that we are on this realm of existence.

So Hines Ward and the rest of these half breeds can swim with the westerners because thats where they belong, in the vast cauldron of epic mediocrity. Me and the vast millions of like-minded far east asians will preserve our racial integrity, and venerate our ancestors and preserve our culture for all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To preserve who we are... there is nothing more important than this."


The UN actually warned the Korean government to tone down talk of racial purity. This racial pureness thing is alive and well in Korea. But I'm confused by it. On one hand Koreans will talk of racial purity, which often suggests racial superiority, but on the other hand it's well known by ex-pats here that Koreans tend to have an inferiority complex when comparing themselves to the West. Just how do they measure themselves?

Racially pure = inbred. Forever and always, amen.

If this dude and his like minded kin are right, Koreans are inbred. If this dude is wrong, then far, far too many Koreans are openly racist. Either way, I have a feeling that this might become an issue in the future.

Thankfully, the Chinese aren't 1% as racist as Koreans. They are culturally chauvinist, and really, who isn't?

Being one of the better teams in what used to be the second weakest region in the international game (Australia joining the AFC finally put it ahead of CONCACAF for good) and performing abysmally in every World Cup not held on your own soil? Um... okay. Having some players in the Premier League doesn't cut it, either - if you measure how good you are by how many players you have in England, then the USA is better than Italy.

Good point. At least the Chinese realize, deep down, that there's no such thing as 100% Han Chinese. Sadly, Korean education glosses over the fact that Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Manchus and others have been over-running this peninsula for thousands of years 'leaving behind' their DNA.

Here... Shocked

Quote:
White folks... Smiles in your face... Stabs you in the back even if it's your friend... Stay clear from the middle aged white d!cks who smiles at you... They're the fu-king worst... Most of those middle aged white d!cks are peeping toms/stalkers/pedophiles who jerk their sticks for everything including boys, girls, dogs, and lastly horses...

White d!cks can't stand other minorities having fun when hanging with other white kids nor blacks fu-king their women... If they do they love preaching that god awful bible with WHITE/JEWISH hierarchy and tell them you can be our N*ggas...

Just look at what they do! They will always tell you what you want to hear and kiss your @$$ to get whatever they want from you (sex, drugs, anything retarded so they can get over on you)... When they don't like you or want you to follow what they have to say (treating non whites like their children/dogs/N*ggas) they kind of act like a horror flick but with bad acting...

One last thing... When people reveal truth about them they have a fit and retort to death threats and intimidation...
