[Who dat?]

Koreans are already considered (in Asia) inferior (by and) to the Japanese and the Chinese. I've heard them described by other Asians as "the [N-word] of Asia" only half-jokingly.

I guess.

Then again, the Chinese (many of them) have no love for the Japanese.

Koreans have no love for Japanese or Chinese and think of them both as “the [N-word] of Asia” believe it or not.

I guess that’d be the older generations though… I haven’t been to Korea since 1979 and most people in my age group (at the time) thought that way.

Youngsters nowadays probably don’t. I wouldn’t know…

Koreans can hold their own regardless, IMO.

No doubt. I was merely reporting what I used to hear in Asia and in California and was careful to make it clear it was people of Chinese and Japanese descent who were making the comparisons and held the view.

My own interactions with Koreans and Korean-Americans has generally been positive, with one glaring exception, a band director whom I consider angry, arrogant, vicious, vindictive, racist(!!), untalented but diligent, and dishonest, deceitful and lying. (All statements I could back up with written evidence) Terrible run ins with my kids. Were it not that he was a 'minority' there is no question we'd have sued for his slander and libel of my kids. I always half-expected him to go Cho on the world (or postal as I would have put it), and I'm pretty sure he will someday at least hit a student.

But, I can't judge all Koreans by the examples of the band director and Cho.

Koreans have some issues with the Japanese due to the repressive occupation of Korea by Japan from 1895 until 1945.
