i didn't know I was suppose to interprete every question as a definate statment. in that case, "are you an A$$hole?"

WASN'T IT AFTER WWII THAT THEY SEPARATED?

Not that hard to interpret. And no, I'm not an asshole, but apparently you are. Why are you getting so upset over my comment?

no offense, but i thought gook was a bad name for the koreans? and not vietnamese people? am i wrong? are all my korean friends wrong? They used that term for the Vietnamese, but apparently, later came to the Koreans. I don't think it was from the Korean war though as Manuka suggested. From my understanding, it was actually made up by Koreans. I've never heard anyone call a Korean a gook as a joke, or in those moment when they argue. I think people were more likely to call the Koreans communist or N. Korean or Kim Jong Il.

What was really shocking was the nice racist little strip Dr 'Cat in the Hat' Seuss made around the same time. Just do a search on Wiki about him and you'll find it. Dr. Seuss Goes to War or something. You can find it at book stores still, but it's obviously used more as a historical piece today than propaganda. It's an entire book. If you look, Hitler doesn't look too bad, but they made the Japanese look horrible.
