Inferiority complex hits it on the head....Bwadamon<br /><br />Inferiority complex hits it on the head. Speaking as a Canadian I can understand it, we tend to feel inferior to the US and act out on it in different ways. Usually by trying to find some little way to say we are better. Nothing gets Canadians nationalistic more than trying to prove they aren't Americans.<br /><br />Part if it is expecting everyone else to act the way they do. That is what I attribute the Korean reaction to the Virginia Tech shooting to. There was no reason to expect widespread retaliation against Koreans in America ... yet Koreans did. Because they know what would happen to foreigners in South Korea if the situation was reversed. Hell, the South Korean President APOLOGIZED for the shooting and talked about national shame! What the kimchi?!?!?<br /><br />But I have never seen anyone act out like Koreans and ethnic Koreans do. It is kind of scary to see the blind yet rabid nationalistic BS they spew out. I blame it on their conformity.<br /><br />As Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said when speaking to the Ukrainian-Canadian Congress in 1971;<br /><br />"There is no such thing as a model or ideal Canadian. What could be more absurd than the concept of an "all Canadian" boy or girl? A society which emphasizes uniformity is one which creates intolerance and hate."Flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751432023350206246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196408116686002095.post-19657682395630542352010-10-10T10:15:39.519-03:002010-10-10T10:15:39.519-03:00That's pretty disturbing. It is as you say tho...That's pretty disturbing. It is as you say though; more people would be concerned over the condition of the victim and the punishment towards the perpetrator, not the race of either party. <br /><br />I always wonder what makes people so aggressively nationalistic but I still can't find a satisfactory answer. For now though, I chalk it up to an inferiority complex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
