You say: “It is very similar to Nazis killing off Jews, except Nazis had an actual motive.”

Could you please explain the actual motives that Nazis had to kill Jews? I must admit I haven’t found any. Do you also think they had valid motives to kill communist, homosexuals and gypsies?

Thanks for commenting.

And you know how every history has a bad past? Well, the Japanese continue to hide their history. They lie that they never did that. I’ved lived in both America and Japan, aand of obviously Japanese students are better educated, however.. when it comes to history, things that are obvious to American students, some Japanese people would be clueless about!

Even though Japan hasn’t even apologized, China forgave them. This made a lot of Chinense people who suffered in the war upset. They want compensation for what they’ve gone through.. but their own government recognized Japan’s power and decided to kiss ass instead.

So in a way I think Koreans are right in continuing to be very angry about Japan.
However, I HATE many of my Korean family members.
Not because they make fun of me being Japanese, but because they are rude, arrogant, bad-tempered.
I’m not saying all Koreans are like this, but all my Korean family members are.
My Korean cousins always starts fights with me. They also care WAYYY too much about looks. The Korean men in my family are disgusted to see even a slightly chubby person. I think this is mean. They were really rude to my sister when she gained just a little bit of weight. My father is also always making fun of people and saying he is the smartest and always going on about his accomplishments. They have too much pride. Some even say Jesus was Korean.

Until I came to U.S. and learned about WWII history, I figured that
textbook in Japan doesn’t mention about raping and killing peasants by Japanese
in Korean during WWII. It doesn’t even mention that Perl Harbour was
surprised attack. It just say “this year Perl Harbour war happened”. Duh

I believe that this must change. War makes people crazy. And poor government
makes it even worth. Though I wonder if at that time, Korean kicked Japanese ass,
would they do the same? I don’t know. But no matter what, it is wrong.
(I would probably feel bit racist against if I know my family was tortured, raped
and killed by people in other country during war)
I guess Japan paid the portion of price for being murderer than soldiers.
2 Nukes in 2 cities, 66,000 civilians vanished in matter of seconds.

I think we as young generation should know how bad it was and not to repeat the
same.

More like politicians should be raped. Especially ones just doing nothing and
eat up all tax money.

Now if you want a list of grievences: Tried to eradicate Korean Surnames, tried to eradicate Korean Language, Comfort Women, over 100,000 Korean cultural artifacts stolen, etc.etc.etc.

And to top it all off, they refuse to acknowledge their crimes or teach them in History books.

I am not Korean Japanese, or a denizen of any country that has significant ties of economics, history or hate towards Japan.

I think indeed your comparison, while acceptable, is a bit squewed. You forgot your brother, who helped the fathers neighbour to kill your father and rape your (and his) mother, the same brother that now is at the head of your family while affirming that the neighbours family should be killed and that he never did anything (despite the fact that everyone knows he did). And the brother’s beighbour who tried without success to avoid the confrontation. It’s a bit like the car analogy, it’s difficult to get it right in such difficult situations, and soooo easy to abuse…

Concerning racits people, the worst racism I have experienced came from black and judish people. In the case of my wife, southamericans have been specially (and openly) rude. I know many Japanese people who find Koreans very racist, having had very bad experiences in Korea. After having been living in Japan for 1 year, I don’t find them that racist (yes, I’ve seen racism there as well), although it is true that I am not of asian descent and experiences might vary.

Thanks for sharing!

What I meant was “clasical” mythologies people are more familiar with. Due to our history lessons, we are more familiar with “mediterranean” mythologies (Egyptian, Greek and Roman mainly) and somehow with Nordic mythologies (which is often used in games, movies, etc) than with other “exotic” mythologies.

It’s corrected, thanks for pointing it out.

“Greek, Norse, Egyptian,… Of course, I was surprised he did not talk about less European mythologies…”

Since when is Egyptian even one iota of anything European?! It’s African man, get your head on straight. You can’t discuss the Korean/Japanese issue if you can’t even get the other cultures right yourself.

Además, no eres el primero que me lo aconseja. A ver si me acerco en las próximas semanas. Nada mejor que la comida picante para soportar el agobiante calor madrileño.

Un saludo.
