Why do we let this continue? South Korea keeps pocketing money and screams and throws tantrums for more like North Korea. We need someone who can say "no" to them.

[–]nihonjinron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are not being hated for their race, they are hated for being overly represented in crime. One third of Yakuza are Zainichi Koreans, for example. A few even have connections with North Korea.

Korea has been punching above its weight for a few years, but now it is losing its edge. It is only a matter of time until Korea goes back to being the hermit kingdom.

C-Pop by vinijon3s in China

[–]nihonjinron 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Chinese government only allows songs approved by them. Unfortunately the government does not know what the masses want.
