Why do South Koreans get mad about being called GOOKS?
>watching Korean movie
>one of the characters is literally called Yun GOOK
>their LANGUAGE is called HANGOOK
Like...it's just part of your own language.
Why be upset over it?
pic related, her name is Ji Yun Gook

It isn't obviously a compliment. It is actually a dumb way to call us since gook in chinese character means a nation. I would rather take chink.
>>69479872
I Don care
But i don t know reaction of other gooks

>It isn't obviously a compliment
meh, seems just like banter to me, like calling a Brit ''bong''.
The reason why they call you gook is because of Hangook too.
Calling you Chink would make no sense...

It is categorised informal and offensive in the dictionary.

you can't be fucking serious
>>69480239
You are acting like most people using that word have no intention of inappropriateness or depreciation.. funny.
>>69480239
yes it is you monkey
>>69479872
Every race or nationality has their meme names. Koreans are probably just too insecure to take the joke.
>>69480322
I'm acting like it's not big deal, just like I don't give a fuck about being called a monkey
see -> >>69480335
>>69480402

>>69480402
Oh okay, nice to know how you think about the word.
>>69480464
Never before have I seen this.
Post proof.

>Land of the Pakis
>Pak means pure/clean
>still not allowed to call them Pakis,
OP, you lost the minute you tried to apply reason to political correctness.

I'm sorry Eire.
Why can't we all be more like you?
On an unrelated note - Do you use the term Pikey (or is it pike?) to refer to gypsies?
is it also considered offensive there?
>>69481256
>still not allowed to call them Pakis,
Wait what
>>69481256
>not calling them pakpaks

Sort of. There are two sorts of gypsies, the ones that come from Eastern Europe, whom we call gypsies or Romani, and the indigenous Irish ones, whom we call travellers or pikeys.
Travellers are uncouth and rough alcoholics who have family feuds that always end violently and sometimes end fatally. That said, they mostly make their money from dog-racing and dodgy building, whereas Romani are often involved in much more dangerous shit.
