My cell phone rang, and I picked up. I started talking in Korean.
After I was done, my friends were like...'OMG, did you just say the 'N-word' over and over again?
I used it so many times that they couldn't miss it.
Well... Let me tell ya.
I didn't use the 'N-word.' The word in Korean just sounds similar to it.
There are two.
내가 and 니가
내가(Nega) means 'I' when you are emphasizing 'I' in the sentence.
니가(Niga) means 'YOU' when you are emphasizing 'You' in the sentence.
Well.. so... when I told them that, they all laughed.
If you don't know that, you might get offended.
There was one black guy who went to Korea and thought that some old man call him 'nigga' and assulted the old man. It is really bad.
If you want to check the video out, this is the video.
Let's learn at least some basic language before you visit the country.
*sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough being black as it is. That is another reason why I am extremely nice and choose to say that way. I was raised to be respectful...
It's sad, because those people on the bus who thought that all black people act that way because they see it on TV will continue to think that way because of what happen in front of them. An angry black person.
That is why I am somewhat afraid to visit another country because I don't want to be grouped with these type of people. I don't act that way.
Even I knew that 니가 was "You", but obviously not everyone is learning Korean like I am.
I will be forever embarrassed by people like this. Any smart person would have a least asked someone to translate what he said.

ReplyDeleteif only someone who was bilingual and could understand what was going on had stepped in then this could’ve been avoided, honestly some people are so ignorant, if you are going to a different country at least learn some basic language skills
ReplyDeleteI agree, I have been working with Koreans for some time and I ask if in doubt rather thatn jump the gun and get upset. I wonder what did guy was doing in this country and not know a word, at least the basic... for god sake he wad attacking an older man with no advantage....So sad to see this😢
ReplyDeleteoh what groups do u listen to
ReplyDeleteHonestly, he's probably to embarassed to speak up but i want to hear an update from the black man in this video to see if he has learned anything.
