Koreans pathological mentality is driving people in Taiwan, Japan, and China to their wits' end...

(1) Koreans were once insisting that Ichiro was a Korean. But, their tone suddenly changed when Ichiro said at the WBC preliminary matches in Asia, "We want to outgame opponents to the degree of leaving the impression that Japan is unbeatable coming 30 years." (Ichiro said like that, but intentionally or inadvertently his remark was misleadingly translated in Korea.) Many hyper-reactive anti-Japanese Koreans literally hyper-reacted at his remark. They appears to have felt that they got mocked, and they are still with the feeling of being abused.. In fact, Ichiro didn't mean any insult to anybody. He just wanted to express his enthusiasm for WBC to inspire the team as the team leader. But, since then, many pathological Koreans have harbor deep-seated hatred against Ichiro too persistently.. Interestingly, they suddenly stopped rewording Ichiro was a Korean. Instead, their endless quest to diminish Ichiro began. They cannot stop. Koreans pathological persistence has been sickening Japanese people in every way. This is just one of those examples.

(2) Koreans insist that every shining Asian individual should be a Korean. That's their diseased fancy or pathological idiosyncrasy. In Taiwan, Taiwan people are really dismayed to know that Korean people are now insisting that Chien-Ming Wang (NYY) is a Korean. That made the big TV news in Taiwan, and Japan. Of course, Wang is not a Korean.

(3) In China, the same kind of trouble is happening right now. Koreans are now insisting that Confucius was actually a Korean, and trying to apply for their own ceremony dedicated to Confucius with the UNESCO World Heritage!! Not only this, but they are also insisting that it was the ancient Koreans that invented the Chinese writing system. They are also trying to apply for this surprising allegation with the UNESCO World Heritage in a serious manner. Chinese people are really pissed.

(4) Other hard-to-believe Koreans assertion.. you may laugh.. but they are serious believe it or not...
* David Beckham is a Korean. British people are descended from Koreans.
* Carl Lewis is a Korean.
* Korea is the root of the ancient Mesopotamian, Indus, Egyptian, and Chinese civilizations.

It's only a matter of time that Koreans starts asserting that Jesus Christ was a Korean. This is not a joke. SERIOUS!!

Personally, I suspect that their pathological mentality of this sort is the reflection of their inferiority complex.

I'm almost sure that nationality has more to do with where you're born than who your favorite ballplayer is.

It's possible he has Korean ancestry, but if he was born in Tokyo he's Japanese.

I suppose that's true. But I haven't heard anything about both his parents being Korean and him being born in Japan, and with how desperate some people seem to 'prove' he is Korean for some reason, I'm sure it would have come up!

Here we go again. Once any Japanese athlete gets fame, someone always claims that he/she is a Korean. We are tired of this. Nomo, Ichiro, Matsui, Iguchi and Taguchi, just name it, they are all Japanaese, OK??? Why don't you clam that infamous Irabu is a Korean too?! LOL (He is not Korean BTW)

>1. In WBC, Ichiro Suzuki made a speech to make light of Korean baseball, but Matsuzaka did not say any word about Korea.

First of all, Ichiro DIDNT take Koreans lightly. Some Koreans who have a huge complex toward to Japan were offended by him saying that he would like to make any WBC opponents to feel that they can't beat Japan for the next 30 years. He didn't specify any countries. Second, Matsuzaka didn't say anything because he has never been accused of being a Korean until now. Ichiro was accused of being a Korean so he was offended. He is proud to be Japanese so he denied it. Matsuzaka will do the same thing in the future if he finds it out.

2. One of the players he holds the greatest respect for is Kim Byung Hyun, because he won big fame in Boston Red Sox.

What??? You are wrong. He has stated many times that Nomo is the reason why he started aiming at the majors and he admires Pedro the most. Where is your source?

3. Most Japanese girls are addicted to Korean boys and wanna get married with them, and his wife is Japanese.

That's right, Japanese girls who are over 50 years old have gone crazy over Korean boys. Over 50, OK? LOL Because the way Koreans make a romantic drama is very similar to the one we had 30 - 40 years ago.

4. I hear that his grandparents were forced to go to Japan as a labor before Pacific War began. Their real name is Park, but they made themselves Matsuzaka to escape from discrimination in Japan.

You are wrong again. His grandparents are from the northern part of japan. I know where they are from. Name it.

5. It is well-known that the brilliant people in Asia are all descended from Koreans. Matsuzaka, having an excellent ability, is Korean, too.

OK, if you believe that, then why don't you guys add Irabu, Nakamura, little Matsui so on. (Again they are not Korean. They are Japanese) Why all the brillant people must be Korean? Do you think all the educated Americans believe that??? Of course NOT! I bet a moment Matsuzaka doesn't meet its expectations, he will be dumped by you and be a Japanese agaiin.

I hope any smart posters here won't believe this troll,,,,,
