BTW, I don't judge Koreans like this, but I just hate racists (especially those who are against Japan). That's why I made fun out of them!!

Wait, so doesn't this TECHNICALLY make you racist because you prioritize hatred against racism to the japanese because you have a preference to japan?

...OR DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?!?!?! :dance: :laugh: :confused2


ahhh, but serious now:

How old are these kids? Can you really blame them to be racist if they are young (like 5-8 years) considering the fact that the adults in their society have conditioned them to think this way? And even if they didn't, their kids! Alot of kids were racist before we grew up, because we didn't fully grasp the concept of racism

Nope, doesn't make me racist at all for hating racist people!! Actually it's more than just racism against Japan, it's racism against the whole world really. But since they're against Japan it just tempted me to make fun out of those kids!! I dunno, I guess I'm a little bit "over passionate" about Japan nowadays, maybe I blame the Power Rangers, Tokusatsu, J Pop, etc..

And even kids should know better than to hate forgein people!!

Never been to Korea I take it? Everything there is different really, people will believe the most insane things just because they're told to. Kids should know better, American kids, or kids that grew up in better country. But here there isn't any way for kids to know better, most of them aren't even older than seven or so and just do what they're told. I doubt many of them actually care, but the ones that do, are the ones that grow up to hate anyone for any reason they can find.

Yeah, Japan shouldn't have claimed those islands as their own, but there are tons better ways to go about fixing things than telling your kids lies like that. Annnd, it did sound like you were putting Japan ahead of other countries, which is a bit racist in the sense you think it's better. But I'm done with my rant.

If you're not Japanese or Korean (or have no idea about the history between the two), I think it's better to keep your mouth shut, especially in situations like these because it really shows your ignorance. Sorry if I offended you by the way.

Uhm, how many Koreans or Japanese have expressed themselves here in this topic, I wonder?

Seriously, this should never have been brought up here. The history between Japan and it's neighbors is as long as it is complex. There is no pure 'good' and 'bad', just interpretations. Countries like Korea and China keep blaming Japan about the WWII history ... understandable one would say considering the attrocities that happened and the 'embellishing' school books. However, it really struck me that 'spontaneous' (read: orchestrated by the government) riots in China against Japan arose JUST at the time a new gas bubble was found on the border line between the Japanese and Chinese sea and JUST when Japan was about to be admitted to the UN security council ... coincidence?

Korea blames Japan about publishing school books that hide the truth about WWII while they themselves (as well as China) do nothing but indoctrine their children at school to turn against Japan.

These are just a few contemplations of many that I have made over the time that I have been reading about these conflicts and I doubt that in a thread on this board anybody will be able to provide a clear and complete answer to the whole matter.

IMHO, better to close this thread.

I would have to agree on this one.

But before someone does, I am sorry as well if I offended anyone in any way but I believe that this is a public forum I was just expressing my insights about this topic.

I agree on this one. The kids might not even care. This might be an art project of some sort and what they care about is getting a damn A in the class.

I'm Korean myself and I'm not sure whether we have an actual Japanese posting on these boards

Of course Korea and China blames but what's not true is the teaching of actually hating Japan in Korean schools. What causes some anti-Japan feelings in Koreans are the stories their grandparents passed down along with learning in their history classes. It's pictures like these that makes people think that the Korean education system teaches and encourages to hate Japanese which is completely FALSE.

Korea and China ALWAYS gets apologies from Japan but it's never official and never sincere. Every now and then I hear about families of Japanese soldiers who apologize to Korea for what their people has done to them. Actually... just a few weeks ago the grandchild of the murderer of the Queen of Korea made a trip to Korea to apologize to the people and family for his grandfather's actions.

I can go on about this subject but I'll stop here for now.

As a fellow Korean as well, I'd like to say just a couple of things.

1. The sentiment presented by these kids' drawings do not reflect all Korean sentiment. It does, however, underline feelings and grievances still left unsettled between Korea and Japan. As mentioned before by Doggie Kruger, Japan has made attempts to "rectify" their mistakes, but they are wanting in sincerity. Most recently, Emperor Akihito and his wife visited the "Banzai" cliff in Saipan, and stopped to pay tribute to the 1000 or so Koreans who also lost their lives in the battle of Saipan. BUT, before we can smile at this, it was revealed later, that the original visit was initially unplanned and only done after Koreans residing on Saipan threatened to revolt in response to the royal
visitation.

Dokdo : is another sore area, one that I'm afraid, is a legit claim. Japan is not making things easier for herself or facilitating reconciliation either.

Most Koreans harbor such feelings, even after all this time (almost 5 decades later), towards the Japanese because there hasn't been a system-wide effort to sincerely apologize and reform. The issue of modification of textbooks and such, that is really not a huge issue. Heck, even US can be accused of skewing such details, etc. Every country is almost guilty of pandering the propaganda to favor themselves; it's only obvious.

What I think most Koreans would like to see is a genuine effort, from top down, to deal with these issues as German has. Germany has been exhorted finally from their part in that World conflict, but their efforts are extant and quite earnest. Koreans have yet to see such from Japan.

That is not to say that such advances has not been made. The descendent of an assassin who inflitrated the last Empress's palace - Queen Min, made a trip to her resting place and offered apologies and condolences on his descendent's behalf. This is a start and one which many hope will begin to set a precedent. While some koreans took this gesture to heart, others sadly did not. I do not condone the actions of these Koreans as well - if reconciliation is to happen, it must be a joint effort from both sides.

Lastly, there is still the matter of the generation which suffered under Japanese Colonization. Most, as it has not yet been too long since this occurred, are still alive and remember that era. For many, the pain and memories are fresh.Before any real steps are taken to begin reconciliation, these and members of such must pass away.

I did not live during those times, but I hear the stories and have studied such, but in the end...we're all human. It's in Earth's way and cycle to commit atrocities against one another, but that doesn't mean that's the end. I hope that eventually the two will reconcile. Dang this got long...sorry for the essay.

GOMEN NASAI!!! If I have shown my "ignorance". I see all this hatred against Japan is history / world war related, but because of this I do hope they get over this sometime and get along, because all this stuff just can't last foreverver. We in England had some kinda war with the Germans (I can't remember, I wasn't around then) but somehow we managed to get over it. Anyway it's 7.41 AM and I've gotta go to college and I'm still in my PJ's so I don't have enough time.

Keith you can lock this thread now!!!! (incase some other war starts).
