this below is disgraceful and absolutely stupid. no matter how hard of a time i've had in korea, battling cultural nuances, i have nothing bad to say other than to agree that stereotypes have a truthful origin, but its only a cultural difference and as one begins to understand the history and background of any peoples, it is then you understand their way of life...rather than being the ignorant foreigner judging based on foreigner standards. we're all the same, and they just might be a little different...for better. AND for worse.
Anti-Korean Sentiment in Taiwan Blamed on ‘Yellow Journalism’
http://www.koreabang.com/2013/stories/anti-korean-sentiment-in-taiwan-blamed-on-yellow-journalism.html
During the latest WBC (World Baseball Classic) match between Korea and Taiwan, netizens spotted a plethora of anti-Korean banners being waved by Taiwanese baseball fans, and were insensed by a controversy surrounding a Taiwanese commentator who cried after Taiwan’s defeat against Korea, allegedly calling Koreans ‘Kimchi’.
Some social commentators blame irresponsible East Asian media outlets for fueling antagonism between regional neighbours, and the tabloid nature of East Asian online news portals and communities that give disproportionate coverage to otherwise small issues (Korean netizens have been perplexed at increasingly strong anti-Korean sentiment from Taiwan over the last few years.).
