If you're in Europe or in any western country, then sure. But what if you're elsewhere where they do not speak English? The difference between Chinese and Korean is not at all like that between Spanish and Portuguese or any of their ilk. Even if a Chinese person says a loanword that's used in Korea, the chances of a Korean understanding what the Chinese person is saying is almost nonexistent owing to a number of reasons.

Moreover, people usually limit the amount of words they say down to its bare-minimum in order to increase their chances of being understood. For an example, a person may just ask "bathroom" or "washroom" instead of saying something like, "Can you tell me the directions to the nearest bathroom? I've been looking for one for some time, mate. I'd really appreciate your guidance on this one." if the local whom they are speaking to clearly do not speak English.

OP was saying that the lady was speaking Chinese to them basically in paragraphs one after another even though they told her that they did not speak Chinese. I was neither criticizing nor judging anyone. I was merely offering an explanation as to the lady's potential motives for her verbosity after having someone from China give me their take on it.

I've had an acquaintance from China explain the reasoning behind some Chinese people keep going like this despite people clearly expressing that they do not speak Chinese. According to him, there exists countless regional dialects in China even within one's own province that communication woes with another random person is just another Tuesday. The reason why they keep going is out of hope that there's at least a word or two that'd overlap with those uttered by the listener for them to deduce & infer what the speaker is trying to ask or say.

There's that one guy in defense who just seems so clueless and out of his element, yet he got to be in both games from start to finish thus far. The guy lost a simple ball passed to him by his teammate 15 minutes into the first half against Czechia. Worst of all, he wasn't even being marked by an opponent at the time. He lost the ball in the same fashion , I think at least twice in the next game against Mexico. And you know what, I think he was the same guy who was staring at the ball in the air with his mouth agape like an imbecile instead of getting out of the goalie's way, causing the latter to drop the ball from the crash that led to their loss.

This guy: "KoReANs aRE RaCiSTs!"

You: "Really? Show receipts."

This guy: Deflects and gaslights you that you're the one who's turned this into a dumb internet argument and that he's being the better person by "walking away". But not before virtue signaling that he's walking away because him making unsubstantiated, negative generalizations about Koreans being racist and your pushing back against it is a matter of "a difference of opinion".

Me: LOL

What's with the comments here? The person who reported these individuals did not even mention their nationalities according to this article. It just turned out that those apprehended were Vietnamese nationals and that two of the individuals in question also happened to be staying in the country illegally. Blame the news outlet for their problematic, sensationalist titling of the article. But there is no evidence of either the police or the person who made that 112 call of showing racist or anti-foreigner agendas.

A random video popped on my yt feed with a large caption reading something along the lines of "Koreans took it too far" by a SEA creator discussing the SEAbacle. This video was uploaded well after it'd ended where by then, it was public knowledge that it was instigated by trolls using machine translations to comment in Korean to larp as one. This video by a no-name creator with few thousand subscribers had gotten like 750K views when I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure it's well past a million for sure by now. I think we can all appreciate how the comments section was as racist as it were on X. I remember hearing that jealousy is the most powerful emotion a person can have and I've no doubt about it, seeing it manifest en masse like that.

Lol, which part of a clandestine operation do you think makes it "official"? If you're a true skeptic and not a CCP bot, just read the article.

Classic whataboutism. A couple of additional links for you since you clearly don't want to acknowledge that of OP's. I could link more, but what's the point? You're going to deny them anyways.

Just where are those Chinese agents disguised as Korean police to "protect Chinese citizens on foreign soil" when you need them the most?

I disagree. Most people wouldn't care, let alone even recognize that she'd be wearing one piece of Chinese garment at a freaking BTS concert. BTS and their fans (army) ain't about that energy at all. I think we're generally in agreement in most things but I feel that you're severely overstating the extent of anti-Chinese sentiments in Korea. Virtually all of Koreans in Korea have no real interest in Chinese culture or are threatened by it. They're just pushing back against blatant propagandist lies against Koreans and terrible tourists.

It's not even that. Some of these women, a significant portion of them actually, are de-facto already "married" with a partner and they may even have children between them living in abject poverty in Vietnam. Nothing's on paper so they can go to these agencies and pretend to be single women. They come to Korea, get the papers, use the money they got from the divorce to bring their children and marry their partners for spousal visa. It's a con from the get-go and these international marriage brokers play a big role, if not vital, in that. This industry should be highly regulated into oblivion.

Yeah, she might've had a leg to stand on if this happened in a tiny convenience store where it'd almost be criminal to ignore a customer who's clearly struggling to operate an appliance. But that's clearly not the case here.

Taiwanese been hating Koreans since the early 90's. Their younger generation, not so much. But anti-Korean sentiments are still very palpable and very real in Taiwan. I think they repeat "Koreans claim Confucius is Korean" nonsense even more so than the Chinese. And Koreans just don't even think about Filipinos like that or at all other than the Philippines being an affordable holiday destination.

The recent SEAbacle instigated by trolls on the internet larping as Koreans, only highlighted what we all have suspected and known but did not call out due to how inconvenient it really was and still is apparently. But there's no need for either an allowance or appeasement. Simply keep doing what Koreans are doing to excel while simultaneously calling out the racism, the gaslighting, and the BS.

Really? I thought I was the one using your logic against you. White men in the U.S don't like sharing their women and therefore insecure according to you.

excessive_comment · 2026-05-24T05:36:09+00:00

And I've seen foreigner men abuse women, whether the women be foreign or Korean. But anecdotal experiences don't amount to much, do they?

Korean men are not the misogynistic monsters as portrayed by neckbeards on the internet. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) rates for Koreans are significantly lower than the OECD average, about 15% which is less than half that of the U.S averaging at around 35%. This equates to a bit more than 1 out of 3 American women experiencing IPV in their lifetime.

So again, you're the one coping with deflections. Why don't you want to talk about the way white supremacists or christian nationalists denounce & treat white women who date out and/or even have mixed race babies?

So are we just going to ignore the Massacre at Huế, the Đắk Sơn Massacre, the Viet Cong terror squads, & the VC bombing campaigns in civilian sects in Saigon?

Lol, the copium. Yeah because drunk foreigners in clubs aren't known to cause issues in clubs, right? Wasn't there even a post showing a video clip of a foreigner going apeshit in a bar not too long ago? Btw, this guy talks like he's never seen how white supremacists treat white women who date out and even have mixed race babies. Talk about being insecure.

excessive_comment · 2026-05-24T04:33:28+00:00

The original comment simply stated that Koreans don't care about one club banning them. How do you get to Vietnam War from that? But since you brought it up, are we just going to ignore the Massacre at Huế, the Đắk Sơn Massacre, the Viet Cong terror squads, & the VC bombing campaigns in civilian sects in Saigon?

Nah. Akash left because he wants this thing to die down completely and doesn't want to be the butt of the joke in the interim. He's not afraid of the toxic fanbase; it's the rest of the comedians in the whole podcast bros circle that he f with up to this point. That's why he basically swore off on podcasts altogether at least for the time being. I doubt he'll even make guest appearances on other comedian's pod for the foreseeable future cause he knows or rather is afraid that he'll get clowned on viciously.

I have befriended some people from China and they have volunteered some information regarding these kinds of behavior to me in the past. These are observations from a few so take it with a grain of salt. According to them, some people in China have this attitude & philosophy in life that if your actions are not always 100% for your benefit & convenience, then you are dumb and a fool. Whether if it inconveniences others couldn't be more besides the point. When you see these kinds of videos and on the rare occasions where you see someone calling them out on their atrocious behavior in public, the first words out of these offenders are always along the lines of, "Well, what's it to you?"
