I loved Corsair at Fluidride: Bike Shop, Seattle Washington!…

“Also, it really isnt a surprise that Koreans are pretty much notorious for always resorting to profanity and racial epitets (chink, jap, etc) on internet sites whereas other nationalities remain very rational, mature and polite. It goes to show you the low level of class of Korean culture. “

Oh, that’s nice, Respond to one troll’s racist slur with a blanket negative generalization of millions of people.

“I’ve noticed that on the internet and blogsphere, the only negative and offensive comments made about Japan are from Koreans, KA kyopos, or Chinese, or Koreans posing as other nationalities (a very common and typical Korean practice). “

Well, that makes sense since Koreans, more than any other nationality including the Chinese, are bred to hate Japan. Depictions of Japanese in Korean children’s books are apalling.

“However, on the other hand, I have noticed that negative comments and criticism of Korean overwhelmingly comes from non-Japanese foreigners, mostly westerners from North America and Europe. Also included are other non-Korean Asians such as SE Asians, Japanese, Taiwanese and people from other parts of the world.”

That is true for English-medium websites. However, there are Japanese websites like this one (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/pandiani/ ) whose sole purpose is post negative content about Korea. I suspect these websites are a reaction to Korean public hatred of Japan. Hate begets hate, and hate harms most the person who harbors it.

actually, i believe a better translation would be “split foot” which referred to the large space many Japanese have/had between the first and second digits of their foot due to wearing geta or tabi. i’ve seen the word in korean translations of the bible used in reference to cloven footed animals (pigs, et al).

Keep up the good work.

I’m sure there are people out there and see my site as “anti-Japanese/反日,” and they’re entitled to believe anything they want. I also get plenty of comments that claim I am posting right-wing Japanese propaganda (there’s one above). I actually had to ban a commenter from this site after he continually posted trollish comments accusing me of working for a right-wing thinktank or having some sort of “wingnut” financial backers. If they bothered to read more than one post on my site, they’d see that the content on this site cannot be simply classified into “anti-Japanese” or “pro-Japanese.” There’s just no pleasing some people.

Katz: No more racial slurs, please. Referring to Chinese people as “chinks” does not advance discussion in any manner. This is a warning.

It’s a sad song with nothing to contribute to both countries.
