For example: <a href="http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_36863.htm">http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_36863.htm</a></p><p>And yeah, I did post there. I couldn&#39;t resist. Please excuse the sarcasm.</p><p>I know what she did was racist, and in my opinion, she didn&#39;t do anything righteous. It was unusual that she would accept contracts from other countries <em>excluding</em> Japan. But how the people attacked her in the forum... really upsets me.</p><p>Okay, for one thing, how can people oppose something without knowing about it? I mean, yeah, the hate between Koreans and Japanese is kinda hard to understand for people who don&#39;t know much about the history, but hell, do some background research first.</p><p>I don&#39;t know how older Japanese feel about Koreans (because I know that Koreans aren&#39;t too friendly towards Japanese), but it&#39;s not just Koreans harboring racism on their part. Fuck, I even got denied the restroom in Little Tokyo when I was EIGHT because I spoke the Korean language. Yeah, that&#39;s real nice.&#160;The looks I got, the looks my mom and my grandmother got... To hear some people talking like that about Korean/Japanese affairs so lightly, or just ignores it,&#160;just makes my blood boil.</p><p>I myself DON&#39;T hate Japanese people or culture, by any means. Actually, I admire it and I want to study the language and study abroad there. But stuff like this... when I hear people talking like this, I get angry. Although I love Japan, I love my country, too.</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://cieux.vox.com/library/post/lot-of-haters-out-there.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c2251f1903604a00c22520b79c8e1d?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> japan korea annexation racism.
