Most of the current animosity comes from Japanese actions in East Asia before and during WWII.  The Japanese army committed many, many, many atrocities during that time, and even now the Japanese has not acknowledged, let alone apologized for them.  Historically, China has provided a lot of cultural/religious/technological ideas to Japan, but the Japanese ruling classes have "Japanized" them.  The Japanese shoguns also periodically tried to invade Korea before Japan's isolationist period.  \n\nThere's a strong amount of national pride in each country, and it's had time to stew over the centuries.

I have never met all the Koreans in the world so I can't come to those conclusions just based on my own experiences. People are individuals not colors..

That is the most ignorant question that I have read in the last 10 minutes. And the first answer wasn't any better. To say that all Koreans look alike, and for Cherokee to say that 'We used to think that about Africans', is saying to me; that you do not look past skin color. Cherokee has a hard on for illegals so every time she posts, it's in her question or her answer, and you obviously are just a clueless moron. Maybe you two could hook-up and start some kind of backwards racist hate group. You'll say ridiculously ignorant and racist and hateful things to people, then act shocked and bewildered when they are insulted, and bat your eyes, saying, "Oh, but of course, I didn't mean any offense, it was a legitimate question". Whatever.\n\nCherokee Rose:\nNice change of words after the fact and after you were busted in your other postings Redneck Rose. 'People of black ancestry" is much more pc than the term "Africans", which you used before.

Many of the people that hate america are doing it so they can establish a power base amoung their own people.\n\nMaybe it's easier to blame someone else for your problems than to take responsibility.\n\nI honestly don't have the answer to such a wide ranging, yet interesting question.   \n\nOh, btw:  China was just as involved in the vietnam war as the US was.\nand the reason japan got nuked is because japan started a fight with us.   Sure, I agree getting nuked was horrible but when you start an all out war with someone, you stand the chance to lose.   Japan did a sneak attack on pearl Harbor and killed many US citizens.  And what about the Japanese "BANTAM DEATH MARCH" during world war 2?  that was an atrocity.  \nWe are friends with Japan now and all those issues are laid to rest.  It is over and it is best to forgive everyone on both sides.  why continue to hold in those feelings of hate?  they are destructive and do no one any good.   I like the japanese and I enjoy their culture.  They are good people.\n\nWhile much of the world hates the US.  It seems that we are just a convenient scapegoat.   Someday maybe everyone can be tolerant of one another.\n\ntom\n(a US citizen)

Asians in general are "super achievers". Their culture places a high premium on academic and financial success. They save, study hard, have a marked work ethic. Also, there is reverence for the elder, which helps to instill a sense of collective cooperation. They are very focused, disciplined individuals. This sort of attitude works well in America, which is inherently capitalist. America rewards hard work and values people who are specialists. So, I think a lot of the 'hate' you're seeing is, in fact, jealousy and frustration on the part of the 'hater'. We often hate that which we envy.\n\nIn certain regions of the country (i.e., South Central Los Angeles), there is a disparity between Asians (who, by their success, become shop owners) and African Americans (who, by their economic situation, are somewhat trapped within the region...a ghetto, by many accounts). This forms the basis of a pressure cooker and emotions flare up.\n\nWhenever you find one group triumphing over another, you have the ingredients for strife.\n\nIt's difficult to read intent into hate; usually it is an expression of frustration, oppression, and perceived injustice. The problem with hatred is that it is like a virus -- it spreads and is hard to dissipate. So long as there are ethnic differences, resentments and partitioning will build. It is the nature of human beings.\n\nPersonally, I don't hate Asians. I envy them. I think we have much to learn from them; a lot of their cultural values could be incorporated into America. That's sort of the intent behind immigration: adopting the best qualities of folks coming in to our country.

It's not so much racism as it is cultural differences.  When people assimilate into the mainstream there doesn't seem to be as many problems.  I am white and live in Chicago.  I have many Mexican and Chinese neighbors and we all get along.  There aren't very many black people in my neighborhood.  Why is that?  I think it is because of culture clash more than it is color clash.  Do you think there is a black culture in the US?  I do.

you can't say that either one is better.. that would be ignorant.. but understandable if you are one of those two races.. because people are always trying to represent.  But both are of Asian decent..  they kinda look similar,, but defiantly not the same... with different cultures and basically they are just different... its like comparing Mexicans and Puerto Ricans

I don't have a problem with it, but I do think something's wrong there. Have you ever met a person that does that didn't have a hint of dislike towards their own race?

Crash the movie??\n\nIt's about racism and how no matter what you think even you are against someone.\n\nEveryone was racist against white, or black, or arabian, or anyone not american, or asian, whatever. Even people who thought they weren't automatically made assumptions about another race.

i myself am a FULL FLEDGED asian (vietnamese chinese). we stick together because we need each other in this world of hate and racism. we are just scared that we are just going to get made fun of and beaten up. there are just a whole lot of racists in the world. also because we don't really find any other asians to hang out with, and it's cool that we get to meet some of our kind once in a while.

well, koreans have receved brutal treatment from the japanese during the "occupation" and i don't think they are that ready to forgive.  you could research more unto the korean resistance and what the japanese have done.  also, both nations are very competetive in technology while taiwan is focused on investments and all that.

chinese don't hate the chinese--but why do most westerners--it's preety simple--in some ways--and extremly complicated in others-but basically--in simple answer--(i am not talking about any racist view here -thats a different hate)--but in social terms--there culture is in direct contrast to ours--for example-in the west-for us--truth is paramount-but in china--harmony is--so in conflicts-when we are truthful we upset harmomny--when they keep harmony--they lie to us(e.g-yes the meeting is tmrw--BUT its not)\n\ncofusionism--and the 5 principles--(i won't go into this) but basically it also is about a circle--we are based on the individual--not in the circle-not inportant--self--centered driving force--towards the circleand the inner group--there fore they can not care and justify actions--because of disregrad--\n\noh boy--i should never have started this--i can go n for hours---The chinese are by far the most frustrating and difficult culture i have ever come across--and it hads so many levels that conflict--thay arehated -because they are not understopd by the outsiders--insiders yes-they are part of it--\nbut on the whole they come across--as self serving-- unfriendly--(to non associates) - superior (arrogant) money oriented --and sometime lazy\n\ni must stop-another time perhaps-- but for your info--inclosing\nthe chinese have one interesting trait--and it is built into even 2nd generations born in other lands--this superior -inferior complex--whch comes from(superior) there acient culture-traditions and kingdom/history etc-- i-(inferior)--becasue they closed the door to western and industrialisation--thye missed the boat--to the riches that enhance many super powers of today----sso they are technically behind-and weaker than others in many fields--(--a mix of envy/dissapointment with pride/arrogance/conceit)\n\nitsmessy\nsorry can't tell more\nthe racism--one--is just basic--because they are easy targets--and for someinthe west--its there inferior when thaey the chinese making the money--or with it-\nthis hate is not good\nthe other one--will be difficult to resolve--huge culture clash\ncheers\n\na further comment--Hate is a strong word--and my opinionis coming from inside china--and i would be lying if i did not say that i hear the word hate often from westerners when speaking ill of the chinese--is it right or wrong-wel it is not that easy--it easy to say hate of race is wrong-- often people say about another how they hate such and such a person---normally this stems from anger towards an action done by the other person.This too holds true here--however,because of theeir culture structure,trained idealistic narrowmined view (which is hard to blame on the individual)and complete obssession with money and the gaining of it atnearly any cost(which also stems from the history and culture),as well as added to this how thier heirarchial culture makes next to remove ineptmess from postion of control in business or elsewhere ,and can cause such absolute inconvenience and frustration .as well as desogns that are blatant miscalculated and flawed it is beyond funny and has moved towards the insulting--then the amount of people who (westerners ) are cheated and swindled or forced into buy outs and pay outs and the hidden xenophobia hidden by false respect and friendship - can lead soem here to curse the heavans(but there are none here of course)--the words that spill out at some bars are hidden-- but just like america and england and iraq and others-- much of this hate is directed at the end product of a situation that has been maintained for nearly 5000 years. so perhaps one should transfer the hate --not to the people but to the annals of the history of time.Finally,i think if one truly understands(if it is possible) the complexity of this culture and its people -people may hate it --but i think perhaps ,if one can, it should be tampered with understanding--whicg does not help the situation much--but may at least ma

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

Whomever said this obviously doesn't know the culture. As long as you understand basic Nihongo, you'll get along fine.\n\nGaijin is gaijin...doesn't matter what color your skin is.\n\nThey have cultural pride, but they don't suffer from the stupidity of racism like the western world does.
