Well I have nothing much to say since Miles and ITNeutralCorner have said it better than I would have. But it would be rude of me if I didn't say anything myself so here's my piece. I apologize if I said anything offensive. I'm more a Japanese than a Pinoy but I chose to represent the latter because I've always been for the underdogs. When I signed up here, I came with a tag 'a proud pinoy..' under my avatar. Why? simply because at that time, many of us filipinos were still ashamed to identify themselves as pinoys and I just wanted to send them a message that there is nothing to be ashamed for being a pinoy.
Secondly, I've always defended the Koreans here when some of our folks complained of being slapped and hit (my sister-in-law was one of the victim herself) by pointing out that it's their peculiar culture and that we shouldn't be too offended because they do that to their own people as well; and that we ourselves have some cultural peculiarities, to put it in a nice way, that we should not to be proud of, but it would not be proper for me to point them out here myself. Well good for us, the pinoys are starting to get used to the Korean ways and the Koreans here and the pinoys are starting to get along pretty well and they are now no.1 tourist here. And I'm pretty happy about that to. And unlike Miles, I do love the Korean dramas simply because they're much better than ours and pinoys here would surely agree.
BTW, I do admit though, that Japanese did horrible things to Koreans and worst of all they still have not come to terms with that, I must say I'm not proud of that, of course. The only way I can defend them is by pointing out that theirs was a history of war, centuries of battles after battles of conquest in their own land and when the strongest one finally conquered all, they have turned into conscience-less brutes who didn't even hesitate to take their own life. But the trouble came when they started thinking of conquering the world..
And now, lets cut the formality and ease up a bit, cheers, buddy...

Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
There's just no understanding Japan...I can get along with the Japanese, but there's 0 chance of anyone outside their culture understanding them.
For example....why do the Japanese like the Nazi's and HitlerI mean even Germans or Neo-Nazi's don't like Hitler in all the wierd ways Japan does.
I'm sorry, but Japan is just fucking strange
Just for miles!![]()

I'll defend the Filipinos here since I have a few Filipino friends in real life. I would rather befriend them than the asshole Koreans. Hell you guys got rocked in the '92 L.A. riots because of your asshole ways.
As for the Philippines being a 3rd world country that hinges on many factors. But know this the Filipinos do incredibly well in western countries than the Koreans. In terms of socio-economic standing and education you guys are inferior to them. And yet the sorry Koreans come to western countries with boat loads of cash and hookups but yet fall behind them who had less resources coming to a new nation. Since you're in America, the Filipinos are your superiors and not the other way around based on the data from the U.S. Census of Bureau. I recommend you not look at the data, because it is your people in America that are inferior. As you said don't be talking shit and know your place.........foo.![]()
You are starting to irritate me off with your bitch talk. You make a racist slur and then get all butt hurt yourself when someone calls you out on it. It's you who needs to do a little self reflection.
I am perfectly relaxed, but hate it when shallow, arrogant, money obsessed, dweebs start picking on poor countries for being poor. It wasn't as if Korea was rolling in money until the allies came and helped get them on their feet and I include my own country as one of those that helped them to do that. We were all peasants at one time, let's not go picking on the disadvantaged who have never received the same handouts.
Korea is my country. I can vote in elections and can live here as permanently as any Korean. In fact unlike many Koreans I have no intentions of leaving. You don't see me lining up at the US embassy to get out. And I have spent most of my working life here freelancing and making my own contracts, I have typically been my own boss, so fuck off that trite and shallow nonsense.
And who pays your fucking wages? It's only in the last year I am back on a salary and get my 5 months a year holiday for it. What does any of that have to do with freedom of opinion again? Another stupid argument.
Just admit that you are racist and believe you are culturally superior to all other Asian races. But I am telling you right now that you aren't and your little ego doesn't like it. Well, I'm telling you again decent Filipino's are just as decent as any decent Korean's. See I'm less of a racist and that seems to make you upset. As has been pointed out, I criticize everything on the same terms. No double standards.
And Lyle, the Japanese of today really have no fondness for the Nazi's. That is a silly thing to say. However, the Koreans do seem to have the occasional affiliation with Nazi imagery, fashion and good old fashioned bar names. Take a look at some of this. Very entertaining.

It's just a boxing forum Mile, it's all fun and games. Nobody is upset here. lol IM just sayin, you work in another man's country, getting payed by them so stfu about them. Stop complaining like a broad about their music and how they are in general etc etc cuz that's not what this thread is about. You dont get much pussy i can tell. Drink some soju and have some fun old man, seriously.. Being a lonely foreigner like yourself can be tough miles, I know, especially in a place like Korea... You should have made a better career choice and made something of yourself instead of doing something many ex gang bangers in LA be doing in Korea.. When all else fails, go to Korea and be an english teacher..lol believe me i know all about it.
Live a little dude and lighten up. This goes back to the Mosley thread where you came off real queerish. I knew something was bent about you..
I do know about those scumbags who impregnate Filipino women and flee back to Korea and yea, Koreans have a reputation problem around Asia but there are those in every group. We are talking about a very few out of many..
I was just talking shit man and im sorry for coming off as an ass. I dont have anything personal against the Pinoys, I dont have a reason to..
Go check out the Pinoy thread where i even praised Pacman's Laban Nating track awhile back so proof is in the pudding, you know it's all good.

You are a simple sad figure if it all boils down to getting laid. I do very well for myself and being married get laid whenever the wife is in a good mood. As if LA thugs have MA's and work at universities. They work in shoddy private schools with fake diploma's and get arrested for drugs. I am qualified in what I do and very much regard this as a career unlike those primitives who can't work legally.
Look at you getting all bent out of shape because someone makes a few valid critisisms and there is you who is the daft racist. I don't frown on you because your Dad is likely a dry cleaner, so don't attack the Phillipines for not being developed. Most of us come from humble origins, you too. Korea is no better than any other nation. It is just a country among many with it's good points and bad points.
You display a typical overseas Korean trait in that you don't even live in Korea and refuse to do so and yet you don't allow others who are far more connected to make valid criticisms. If you are so Korean then live there and only then can you truly pass judgment on the here and today and aspects of its culture. Otherwise, you are actually far more disconnected than I.
Good to see you finally talking sense in that last post ElFinito.
It's a shame that on the road to redemption you had to resort to baseless insults of my character. I have called you a racist because you said something racist, but you have said all kinds of base things about me and all of which have no grounding in reality.
If you have any sense of character, then an apology is called for. One can criticise TV and historical manipulation, but to attack another forum poster in the way you have is base and a reflection of your own character. You should apologise to the Filipino's and apologise to me.
I was talking out of my ass, sorry Miles.. I dont deny some of your views but it's just that the silverblack gorilla leaps outa me whenever I hear something negative about Koreans. It's an instinctive reaction.
Frankly, I agree with some of the things you said because I myself stopped listening to Kpop back in 1994 cuz it started to turn into a joke. But the way you put it, it just sounded like a diss so i just reacted.. No hard feelings Miles..
