No one on this planet is "pure" anything.
We're all mutts, transitional specimens of the next species.

pfffft. nice justification. but most koreans lived in korea for thousands of years. may not be 100 percent pure by genetics just like your claim, but those long years surely 'purified' them into ONE race.

More like 500 or more years. Last wave of large migration into Korea happened about 500 years ago. Generally happened when a few of those Chinese and other regional states were at war with each other. Refugees and officers of the losing side would flood in and many would stay.

please dont' try to act like you know something about other country's history because you happend to read some random internet article. A bowl of white rice doesn't become freid rice just because it has few wheat grains dropped in it.

@morakanokbs, why so defensive? Believe what you want to believe about how superior Koreans are. Yes, Koreans have been here a very long long time. But Koreans did not magically originate from the Korean peninsula.

Not really, the kids in my classes speak better English than you anyway. Adding some wheat grains to white rice doesn't make it fried? No shit?
