WHAT YOU SAY

[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]

In regard to Korean disliking Chinese more than Japanese, I think your logic is bit too faulty. Many Koreans do respect Chinese and their culture, but Koreans are famous for quickly adapting to whatever they believed to be "worthwhile". It is no surprise, then, that Koreans have the highest percentage of broadband Internet connection in the world. Unfortunately, as a person who speak English, Korean, Japanese, I can understand why Koreans are moving away from classical Chinese teaching. Put it bluntly, Chinese language, as philsopher Russel noted, it is too ancient and lacks flexibility. Korean youngster would rather study English than learn Chinese Characters that takes enormous displine.
As you can see, your observation is wrong!

Kick Them Out,

You are obviously very uneducated and stupid! Do you have any idea what immigrants do for a country's economy? What they earn goes back to the country nevertheless. Think before you say anything you uneducated, dumbass!

Didn't mean to be harsh but some things have to be said.

There is a theory that japanese and korean is related to the southern indian languge family.is it true.
that makes the japanese and koreans related to the indians.and if u look closely, japanese do look a wee bit caucasoid. maybe indians could be our distant cousins.

to Koreans dislike Chinese more than Japanese

That's is absolutely not true. I know because I am a Korean who lived in Korea for more than 17 years. I still keep track of international politics and stuff in Korea. There are so many of bitter memories between the two countries and people still do not get along with Japanese too well. I can write all the details here but I'll just stop. Let me assure you, Korean people dislike, rather than hate, Japanese for many many reasons. The only thing that Korean people dislike about Chinese is thier communism mentality.

Fil Guy 19:

"I don't know if that website is accurate man i tried to see the similarities and we filipinos are 89% similar with australians man!!! but i'm not sure if it is with the aborigines or with white folks."

The Malay race (97% of Filipinos) is itself a mix of mostly Asian blood and part Australoid. Australoid negritos were in the Philippines way before the Malay "invaders" made their way in to archipielago.
Australian aborigines are Australoid, the same as negritos. That site you were asking about was talking about populations and races that are native to their respective lands. Hence when it said southern african, it meant the blacks there, not the whites that also live there. When it said Australia, it meant the Aborigines there, not the White British fellas. If you want to compare the malay Filipinos whith the (white) Australians compare Philippines to English.

Fil Guy 19,

The genetic test calculator site should not be taken at its literary value. People are so similar genetically that they share 99% DNA with each other regardless of race.
it is all hypothetical Wednesday, January 23, 2002 at 17:27:14 (PST)

Koreans aren't the ones who killed thousands of Chinese during WW Two. Koreans aren't the ones who raped and murdered Chinese babies. You must be a Taiwanese, I heard they wish to be Japanese.
Northern Chinese, Manchus and Mongolians and Koreans are probably more similar than any others.

Kick them out,

Most Muslims in the USA worry more about getting by in life than hating and wanting to kill Americans and other white people. Let us not fall into the same trap that led O. bin Laden and other fundamentalist terrorists had in their acts of crime.

Remember that white people were saying the same to Chinese and other Asians during the spy scandal and plane incident!!!

I hate profiling...

It is really a shame if Koreans completely abandon the Chinese characters, because much of the ancient texts and poetry is written in Chinese characters or even in Chinese language itself.

But, many Koreans (from South Korea) are taking Chinese language courses and some even send their kids to prestigious Chinese universities (due to lack of space in their own country's universities). They know that China is a growing power and soon they will tilt back towards China.

Koreans have always been China's longest and oldest ally. They held on to the Ming style clothing and head knots when other Han Chinese were compelled to wear the Manchu pigtail. But, they are no longer our vassal. both peoples should work together for the betterment and peace in East Asia.
Korea is no longer a little brother Wednesday, January 23, 2002 at 17:19:58 (PST)

Japanese are a mix race,

I noticed that many many Japanese look like the people of Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong. Both peoples probably had a lot of Malay blood absorbed.

And, a lot of Chinese merchants (especially from the Fujian/Shanghai areas) from time to time did settle or leave families and offspring in Okinawa and Kyushu.
