| Ah, the good ole 'Northeast Asia Propaganda Foundation.' What self-respecting Waygook would enter such an essay competition. Don't they realize that the uber-nationalism that goes on about 'Dokdo is the Korea' is the same nationalism that demonizes foreigners and issues calls for ever-more-stringent E2 visa restrictions? Are these the same people who went to Dokdo recently and had their photos taken waving Korean flags? Is someone's dignity only worth 500,000 won these days? |
