Yeah I mean check out almost any Yahoo message board that's connected to a my.yahoo news article. Koreans have no lock on racism and rudeness. I think the only advantage they have is they're willing to work with other netizens as a team and take it beyond the virtual world...

At least on western boards we have some degree of anonymity.

When I used to work at a dot.com called Infospace, I'd sometimes look at the message boards devoted to discussing individual stocks. Our company was started by an Indian guy (from Bangalore). When the stock went down, people had no problem calling him a Paki... Yeah. Even people involved in stock trading aren't very business like.
