That's a bit sad if you think a pop star can set an entire world back with a song. |

The Korea Times article on this said visitors to the library with no mention of foreigners.
Lost in translation? |
Haven't seen anything about this in KT. I'm also not sure if KT is the best source for confirmation.
Ah, never mind, found it. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2013/04/116_134223.html
By the way, I find it interesting that this is one instance where KT chose not to include the Korean version of the story.
So, is it foreigners or visitors? We'd really need to see the quote in Korean. |
The funny thing is about two years ago Asians were taking umbrage about a white female UCLA student who posted a rant about Japanese students using their cell phones in the library during dead week (the week before finals) and about unspecified Asian students who invited their extended families over to their apartment complexes on the weekends.
Besides, who's more likely to be taking photos in a public place? |
What does that have to do with this article?
Asian-Americans, Japanese. I don't see the connection here. Unless we want to lump Brits, Americans, French, and Germans all together. |
The connection is obvious.
As for "Brits, Americans, French and Germans," I'd wager good money they've all been taught how to behave in a public library, not to mention other public places such as art museums, and that they put those lessons to good use. |
Asian-Americans and Japanese are not Koreans.
You do realize there was a similar video of some Asian student flipping out at some American students in a library as well, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbaDw7A6anA
So Asians always behave poorly in a public area, but Brits or Americans never do? Lose the bigotry dude.
I've seen plenty of people of all backgrounds behave like morons in a public area. Only a sheltered bigoted ninny would think otherwise. |
I see you're back to your "everyone is the same" position. And to exaggerating my comments to create straw men.
The incident I mentioned was brought to my attention by Koreans who felt slighted by it. I found it, in connection with the newspaper, ironic.
One day you'll have the courage to face the facts. But until you stop lying to yourself, at least stop distorting the words of others. That really is getting old. |
There is no strawman. You compared the incidents, but the incident in the USA has nothing to do with Koreans. According to you, it has to deal with Asian-Americans and Japanese.
Not to mention the "I bet they were taught how to behave in a public place".
Lose the bigotry and learn the idea of "Judge not, lest ye be judged". |

Preacherman, it's a straw man.
Yes, the incident in the US is applicable because Koreans were among the ones screaming foul the loudest.
Observation is not judgment. I believe you're the one doing the judging by calling me a bigot. Maybe you ought to think more about that log in your eye. |

No, Asian-Americans were the ones screaming the loudest. No one in Korea gave a hoot about that story.
Anyways, maybe the Koreans can give Brits lessons on how to behave in public when watching a sporting event and not resort to beating each other over 22 people chasing a ball. I'll take noisy public photos any day over riotous fans beating innocent bystanders and trampling them to death. |

Really? This was a major story at the level that AES allegedly is? We can ask random Koreans about the UCLA incident and they will give us opinions? |

SR, you just don't get it and you never will. You continually have to resort to exaggeration, spin, name-calling, and in your last post, false analogy, to avoid having to admit you're wrong.
And you're wrong. |
