K-pop is just a gateway, and it's directed towards the younger audience. Just like Justin Bieber was, you don't think Justin Bieber was a positive representation for whites? Outside of the soap opera…
I mean honestly it's a useful term though, it is literally just a descriptor. It's the lunar New Year. That's actually a description of what it is. So even if the words came from colonial times, at th…
If youre from near North Korea, youre probably indistinguishable to a Korean, ethnically or appearance wise. Not that it matters, but I guess we are all product of random chance of which side of borde…

The comment on HK is in response to OP’s first two paragraphs. Apparently LNY as a term was coined out of imperialism, but I argue that the history of its use in HK is irrelevant since nobody actually…
When I went back in the stone age there was the Chinatown crowd that was poorer, mostly Cantonese speaker (That right there is a clue, there was one Chinatown). There were richer Taiwanese kids who li…
I understand that. What I’m wondering is why you think Chinese new year is so exclusive and why you wouldn’t use respective term for that culture when addressing that person? Again I think the argumen…
Thx for sharing the news. I am not so sure about remaking a recent movie for English speaking audience. Don Lee is Korean American but mainly appearing in Korean movies and many see him as more of K…
I know byung-hun types are what most people think of when they think of Korean men, but im so down for the ma dong seok types and song kang ho types representing korean men.
I think there isn't one clear-cut answer for this, but my theory has always been Asian family structures and language. When I was young, I had a couple of white friends. I used to do sleepovers e…
The same ppl will tell you it's not a psyop even tho I've seen with my own eyes Koreans and Vietnamese claiming Chinese things are created by them. Like recently with Koreans claiming that the Cdrama …
Musically, I distinctly remember that it was Psy and Gangnam style that opened the door slightly for an Asian song to do well in the West. It was all a big joke/lowkey banger & shared heavily but it n…

Perhaps “Sinospheric”or just simply “Sino”? It’s the only phrase that exists to mean “East Asia + Vietnam”. We are already familiar with seeing it describing Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-Korean, and Sino…
That’s a fair way to put it. However, classifying a Musical style based off its origin when a multitude of people can participate in it doesn’t seem too different, but again it’s up to an individuals …

This wasn’t addressed to me but I’d like to respond to this. I would say the century of humiliation still has a profound political and social effect on China. It informs a lot of Chinese policy for ex…
Are you the only korean in a 50 mile radius? I can only guess that they think it sounds like wang which is a childish association to a penis I guess? No idea.
There's not a lot of Asian or Korean where I live.
I suspect that person is just concern trolling. They're just trying to justify and possibly support erasing the Chinese roots of Chinese things and expect Chinese people to be okay with it. The fact…
That may be it, OP. You don't know what you got til it's gone. Although you feel more inclined to Asian standards, I think it maybe bc you have that accessibility being in the DMV. I was born & raised…
