RE: Korean black American bus attack.

Just my response to deiteas and my own thoughts on the incident. This really isn't just directed at deiteas but to all people I feel shouldn't let the mistakes of one speak for a million.

I take this quite serious but I find it pretty funny at the same time. If I actually call my grandmother in Korea and ask her if she knows the meaning of the word, "Nigger"... she would probably go... uhhh... "You?"... but then I would pronounce the ending more precisely and go "Ni-ga, with a longer errrrr".... I bet you a million bucks, she doesn't even know what that word is or what it means. It's an American racial slur through English.. what made this guy think it exists in Korea? lol.

@ShinLa83 lol. You know what. You have a good point. Seeing that comment made my day.

@ShinLa83 ummmmmm....Ni-ga, with a longer errrrr".... Ni Ga or Neega dosent even have a ER sound Dont teach when you yourself dont know, and if by chance you are Korean, go learn your language better :) NIGGER and NIGA are totally diferein in dound and NI in NIGA is Longer than the GA but NIGGER is said as if it was said in Stocatto :)

[ShinLa83]

@TheRivalConcept Ummm... read my comment carefully. You just repeated what I said. "Nigger" is an English racial term... Koreans speak Korean... that term does not exist in Korea.... that's what my comment says -_-;; what have you been readin!

[TheRivalConcept]

@ShinLa83 but the thing is NIGGER and NEE GA is totaly different Sounding....personaly, that African America was a total ignorant human being....maybe he has/had some underlying metal health issue too who knows? but the fact is i find far to many people in general are ignorant and well, NOT infornmed about the language or culture they are going to stay and or travle in

@TheAdamie Sorry "니가" is not "standard usage" at least not in its linguistic sense. It is common, but it is not the prescriptive form that seems to dominate all of the Korean language books in my possession -5. OK, that's not a lot, but my point is-- it is perfectly unremarkable that he would not be familiar with "니가" /niga/ especially since being in the Seoul area he would encounter lots of Koreans who can speak English well and never really feel the need to learn much Korean.

[TheAdamie]

@72daystar niga "니가" is standard korean, but it's "반말" which means that you can only use it to younger people, so if you're studying introductory korean they didn't want you to learn it yet because it's very insulting to use this word to an older person and they didn't want you to make that mistake. Korean has 3 levels of politeness built into it's grammar so there are sometimes multiple words for one english word.

This is a good video response, the world needs more people like you

well said. the guy on the bus displayed inexcusable behavior. it was an individual thing, but whenever it's a black person, race becomes the issue. this is to perpetuate an IMAGE that ALL blacks are bad.
