전 미국에 사는 학생인데요.. 구글에서 한국인에관한 글 읽다가 공감가는 글이 있어서
복사해왔어요~. 이글은 한국여자도 사겨보고 중국인 일본인 여자도 사겨본 일본인
남자애가 쓴 글입니다. 정말 궁금해서 그러는데 왜 한국여자는 자기 밖에 모를까요??
In terms of dating advice, a lot of posters here seem to chant the same mantra: "you must understand Korean culture" etc in order to understand your Korean girlfriend/boyfriend. My question is, what is so special about Koreans that gives them this "right" to do whatever their mood deems fit? Why do people here defend these crazy jealous Korean women? Cultural difference is not the problem, the problem is in the individual who hides behind his/her cultural identity.
I'm Japanese myself living in the United States, and I've had both Chinese and Korean girlfriends. Everytime I get in a fight with my Korean girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend), the Korean gf will accuse me of "You don't understand the Korean way." I say bullsh!t, it's a lame excuse. We are individuals. Individuals have free will and their own interests and desires. My Chinese girlfriends NEVER blame our relationship problems on differences in culture. From our perspective, Chinese and Japanese cultures are practically identical and any differences that we have exist entirely on an individual basis. But this is not true for my Korean girlfriend. When I talk to my other Korean friends about our relationship woes, my other Korean friends also tell me the same tiring thing, "you just got to understand and accept Korean mindset." This is faulty thinking. But why is this faulty thinking so prevalent amongst Koreans? Why are the Japanese and Chinese so much more open and tolerant? Is it because many Koreans have the "small nation complex"??
Those Koreans who excuse their intolerant, petty and questionable behaviors on the basis of simply being Korean are lame, immature and intellectually dishonest. Those who give them a free pass on the slogan of "cultural differences" are equally pathetic.
Having a cultural identity does not give you a right to be an arse. In the modern world, we are foremost individuals. In the end, it boils down to a primitive intolerance on a large number of Korean people.
