Jesus christ Drich, you got all of that dead wrong..but I guess that's to be expected. You aint white.
Firstly, Japan modernized in the early 19th century and celebrated by colonizing Korea (and other fun stuff). Their modernization was rapid and self directed, and this brings us round to the second issue with your brilliant post - no one "adapts" to culture without help...no one, not even the people within the culture. Just as we teach our own children the rules, and our own underclasses their place - we also treat the outlier to a hefty dose of culture. In the case of african americas (and koreans in the case of japan), we taught them all about our heavy equipment, and the backbone of our economy (lelz). It wasn't their insistence that they be seen as different but our own that leaves them as such today...and if you ask any black kid in america his nationality...I'm pretty sure he's going to tell you that he;s american..because he is. Nationality, not race, you fucking idiot. That a person is african american is the cognitive equivalent of being iorish american, german american, polish merican., or a korean under japanese occupation...etc. None of us gave up those identities to be americans. We don't have to. I'm not sure why some black kid would have to either. It's a bit disturbing, the specificity of proposed cultural identity that the white population is capable of - knowing the european states from which their ancestors come, even tiny little details and family cannon...and the amount of cultural bric a brac and stereotypes gleefully engaged in by the common white american......but a black kid is getting shit from a korean kid...just for being and identifying as black or african in the general.
You're singing the song of your own cultures ancestral oppressors, and felating the same in their american incarnation today. Guess that makes you one of the good ones. You, like many racists, pin your racism on a creative revision of history, making the racism itself a less egregious sin compared to the ignorance which underlies it. It wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't so fucking dumb.
