cute list
AlphaNomad
$hit man! A lot of the stereotypes listed are really true of Koreans!!
northwestern_student
at least 75% of this applies to other east asians as well, 95% if you replace kimchee with any other stereotypical asian food
bigboy
i was a little surprised some of those are actually true

a couple that i didnt relate to, but most of'em yeah.

also about the word "kashina" its actually a word from the kyungsangdo dialect. So people from that area would use it. Kashina is a word for girls and Moshima is a word for boys. My mom's side is from that area, but she never used the dialect/saturi with the family. But my grandma always did. My dad's side is from a different area, so they dont use those words

also there's

-you always have a box of chocopies in your house
-if you had any dogs, you'll have had at least a jindo gae
-your parents force you to go to school even though you are sick as hell
film4reel
shop at h-mart.

sorry if it's already listed. there is no way in hell i'm going to sit down and read through all of that.

I am Korean, and I find the whole western concept of having to provide "evidence" or "facts" to back up outrageous claims to be so stupid and meaningless. Why is it necessary to have to go through the trouble of having to find evidence of facts to back up our claims when we Koreans are always right? We don't need to mess with this stupid thing called "evidence." Everything that comes from Korean sources is absolute truth and everything that is from foreign sources is 100% lies.

That's the way we Koreans learn in our schools. Also, we don't understand the concept of "debate" or fair trial. In Korea, whoever screams the loudest or posts the most number of spamming comments on the internet is always the winner. That's how our culture teaches us to debate. I think this whole concept of having to provide "evidence" is so stupid and time wasting. No wonder only foreigners like white people, Japanese, and Chinese actually believe this.

We Koreans should not have to provide evidence. As long as we scream loud enough and post everywhere on the internet that Confucius was Korean, that all US beef has mad cow disease, that kendo and karoke was invented in Korea, that N.Korea is a peaceful nation which was suddenly attacked by US, then that's all we need to do. No need to have to go through the trouble of having to provide this stupid thing called "evidence"! Whatever we Koreans say is automatically true. Anything that foreigners say is always a lie and false. That's all we need to know.
