I suppose, in one way, it does make me a racist.
South Koreans can be seen as a very individualistic people. They want to do things on their own. They are willing to go through hardships in order to accomplish great things. If something is broken, they try to figure out how to fix it. But when it comes to discovering something new, breaking into a new discovery, there is fear.
Also, many South Koreans are individualistic in the same ways. There is a conformity of individualism among South Koreans.
I think many foreigners are put off by the explosive emotionalism of South Koreans. Many South Koreans are put off by the explosive emotionalism of South Koreans. Some South Koreans prefer the cooler Japanese approach.
OH what was I saying. Yes.
South Korean businesses are always playing catch up when a new American product comes out. Why? South Korea does not think that it can compete with America in the innovative field so why bother trying. China feels the same way and just steals Western technology.
In other words, creating a culture that values and rewards innovation and creativity would be at odds with the Confucian culture of top-down, seniority-respecting culture that is in East Asia.
Besides, East Asia could never win in the field against America.
Does this mean that the individuality of South Korea is younger than the individuality of America? Which would mean that America is superior to South Korea in terms of individuality.
SO how does South Korean individuality become American individuality? Does the South Korean have to give up the "ghe" for the rational ego and enter an inner Age of the Enlightenment?
