Do you asians are indirect and communicate in different ways. Hajin is a moody Tsudere. Who communicated in chapter 50 and Hangyum picked up on it.

um the term “you asians”
is racist. you’re stereotyping them based on a yaoi- fr?

You're absolutely disgusting. I'm not even asian and what you said offends me as well. Get some fucking help if you think that actual asian people act like fucking YAOI characters. And the fact that you said "you Asians" as if asian people aren't fucking human too. UGH. Get fucking help.

What an idiot!

Do you KNOW that Asians****

My keyboard most had deleted those words.

Obviously I don’t mean it that way. They are in Korea. They are Korean. It is a korean story written by Koreans and my boyfriend IS Korean.
I love Asian and am learning Japanese and Korean. My boyfriend is indirect not stereotyping at all. But you stereotype me by a mistake. Lack of communication of a misunderstanding.

Obviously I don’t mean it that way. Thank you for misunderstanding and trying to attacking me over it. They are in Korea. They are Korean. It is a korean story written by Koreans and my boyfriend IS Korean.
I love Asian and am learning Japanese and Korean. My boyfriend is indirect not stereotyping at all. But instead of asking me or taking time to understand my comment you attack me on want you assumed I meant. That is ugly. I don’t think I am the one that needs help.
Lack of communication of a misunderstanding.

First thought: Do you know that asians are indirect and communicate in different ways. (Look it up)
Second thought: Hajin is a moody Tsudere. Who communicated in chapter 50 and Hangyum picked up on it.

whether you add letters or not, it’s still stereotyping

I think they only focused on your first words instead of reading your whole comment Mi Amore. What is this forum coming to. You probably will not apologize to you either.

Mi Amore added two words and it is not stereotyping. They are indirect.

Stereotype: a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

My Japanese professors, my visits to Japan, my meeting Asians, my Asian friends, and my Asian boyfriend. It is what I have been told by Asians and what I seen in personal experiences. A stereotype would be all Asians look the same.

Harvard law. “ In much of the West, it is considered maddeningly inefficient to talk around an issue, whereas East Asians tend to view direct confrontation as immature and unnecessary. ”

What more articles????

I am not stereotyping.

Yo what's happening I'm too lazy to read all of your replies

Do you want more articles? Is what I meant.
I am not stereotyping and I made a mistake. Mistake or not, this thread is spreading false assumptions because no one ask what I meant and assumed. It made no sense the way it was and obviously it was missing words.
I abhor racism. I accept people of all countries as friends and family. I would never treated either of you like this.

omg all the comments here just disappeared. sad

You didn't account for Indians, Malaysians, the Maldives, Pakistanis, Sri Lankan people. did you account for any of those or did you forget that Asia is more than Korea and Japan.

right

Because you didn't account for them. You stereotyped

She did she can provide more sources. Stop being a bullying.

Her sources only mentioned east Asians. As in Korean and Japanese. It did NOT account for the rest of Asians. So her comment is still wrong

She only used a few sources do you seriously wanted 200 or more. She is capable of that. She overdoes things. Are you really asking for her to do that. She did not want to overwhelm everyone. How you are handling this is wrong. How you are bullying her and taking this to different posts is wrong. How you interpret her message is wrong.

She did not have a stereotype nor is she being negative. OrbitKoi did not understand what indirect communication really is.

As Mi Amore's friend, please hear us out. IT FEELS VERY BAD TO HEAR THAT ALL ASIANS ARE BAD AT COMMUNICATING. this shouldn't be something you're trying to prove. It's disgusting. I suggest u and ur friend stop supporting what ur friend said. It wasn't right and the fact ur trying to clarify ur point is WORSE. It's so creepy to see this level of stereotyping is still around! Please educate yourselves first. I am Asian so don't send one of ur weird links at me

I think you have misunderstood what has happened.

And she never said all asians are bad at communication that is far from what she was even trying to say. Indirect does not make that. She meant indirect communication. That is not what we were trying to prove at all. Maybe we are trying to clarify because of the misunderstandings. If you are indeed Mi Amore’s friend than you know she was never saying that in the first place. Your comment is just as offensive. That is not what we are trying to prove. That is not what she said. If that is what it is disgusting but it is not. There is not stereotyping here just false assumptions. Please understand what happen and how you comment is just as wrong.
Mi Amore wrote something. Her keyboard deleted a few words. That comment make no sense and a few made it racist or/and stereotyping.
When she learned she corrected it. Then explained what she meant. This is where everything should had ended. But one kept attacking her. She tried to explain. They took this to two other threads. One being yours.
Everything was cleared but they focused on her comments as she was being racist.
If you know she can write books. She probably wanted to be general and small and did what she did. When when they asked she would had went more in-depth.
She meant did you know that Koreans are indirect meaning indirect communication. She was sharing about the culture. It was a misunderstanding because
But she used Asians. And her keyboard deleted know that.
Did you asians are indirect. The comment makes no sense. Even that does not equal “ THAT ALL ASIANS ARE BAD AT COMMUNICATING”. That is not at all what was said by her and not even what she meant.

Instead of asking her. She was attacked. She fixed and explained. I don’t understand chocoHoney after that point. What happened should never happened.
I am not racist and neither is Mi Amore.

She was only sharing about one of her loves. “Do you know that Koreans are indirect and communication in a different way.” Aka do you know that Korea’s use indirect communication. Nothing racist. Nothing disgusting. Just people overreacting and not trying to understand her.

Star. This is going to your comments than mine yours are in()

(As Mi Amore's friend, please hear us out.) after reading your comment and understanding what is going on I think you needed to hear us out instead.

(IT FEELS VERY BAD TO HEAR THAT ALL ASIANS ARE BAD AT COMMUNICATING.) never was said just a bad interpretation of indirect and if other comments were read besides the first one. That would had been clear.
(this shouldn't be something you're trying to prove. It's disgusting.). The statement you put of your interpretation is disgusting but we were not trying to prove that at all.

( I suggest u and ur friend stop supporting what ur friend said.) that is confusing. Because I read that as three different people but I think now “Ur friend” both times means Mi Amore. If you looked Mi Amore had already stopped ans reported the bully.

(It wasn't right and the fact ur trying to clarify ur point is WORSE. It's so creepy to see this level of stereotyping is still around!). We are making a different point and there was not stereotyping. That was just your false interpretation on a mistake.

(Please educate yourselves first.) bully tactic.
(I am Asian so don't send one of ur weird links at me). Weird links? Bullying tactic by the way.


(fr they can't accept the fact they offended Asians with a statement directed to Asians. ). That was fixed. And we moved on from that. When that was fixed this situation should had ended.

(Korean or not, they have no right to say Koreans talking indirectly.) if you want to bash my English and act like yours is perfect. When no ones is. Because It is Koreans talk indirectly. But I understand what you meant and I would not comment to bash you. I was just letting you no one is perfect. If you are bashing me for the same mistakes that is kind of pointless.

Any one can say Koreans are indirect and communicate..... (insert the rest). (Meaning indirect communication) which they use. Look up indirect communication. It is not bad. There is an “and”. So it is indirect and communicate (the rest.) You are taking one word and taking it out of context to attack something that is not there.

You tell me you want it to stop in dm and you go and comment on two threads to rehash it?? Still taking it out of context. Then your return reply (the one I am replying to). I am starting to view you as a bully, also.

This thread can devolve after this comment. It just to clarify things. I know this has died and this is not trying to restarting this. Anyone could write on these and restarted it but then the truth needs to be known. Let me state I think Yaoihoe did not know and is not a part of the hate crime. But the rest IS a HATE CRIME and IS BULLYING Mi Amore, Anon.



Bottom Line: Even though She meant Koreans, Mi Amore, Anon was not being racist or Stereotyping when she said Asians. Who ever said they were Asians, most likely were not Asian. Also, indirect or indirect communication was misunderstood.

These were used against Mi Amore but they are use indirect communication: Indians, Malaysians, the Maldives, Pakistanis, Sri Lankan

In indirect cultures, on the other hand (Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Saudi Arabians, for example), directly communicating negative information is seen as impolite and crude, even in a business setting.

Indians: “It is standard practice in the world of cross-cultural knowledge to say Indians are indirect in their communication. And it is true. Sometimes.

Malaysians: “Indirect Communication: As an extension of the need to maintain harmonious relations, Malaysians rely on indirect communication.

More attention is paid to posture, expression and tone of voice to communicate meaning. The purpose of this is to maintain politeness and respect throughout the conversation, and also prevent a loss of {face} on either end of the exchange. The best way to find the underlying meaning is to check for clarification several times by asking open-ended questions.”

Yemen: “Yemenis favor an indirect communication style. The concept of “saving face” and avoiding confrontation is important. Personal space is smaller in Yemen. People tend to stand close together and use a variety of gestures while speaking. Physical contact between two people of the opposite sex in public is considered taboo. As Yemeni culture is slower paced, Yemeni people are generally laid back. During conversation, interruption is common and not necessarily considered rude. Eye contact is maintained during conversation and is considered a sign of attentiveness.”

In other words, in high-context cultures, the explicit part of a message (its content) tends to be minimal, while the implicit part (the context of the situation including, for example, the place where the communication is taking place, the nonverbal cues, and the social status of the interlocutors) communicates the missing details. In contrast, in low-context cultures, it is the explicit part of the message that is responsible for the overall meaning of this message; the implicit part is of less importance.

“The examples above show that, overall, Asian cultures tend to be high-context and western cultures, on the contrary, low-context. However, it is necessary to point out that when we speak of high- vs low-context cultures, we speak of a continuum rather than two unrelated spots on a line or two separate baskets, if you want. To continue the “basket” analogy, all the cultures are in the same “basket”, but their place in this “basket” is different: some cultures are closer to the high-context “side”, while others are closer to the low-context “side”. One culture can be more high-context than another, but less high-context than still another. For instance, the Ukrainian culture is more high-context that the Canadian culture and less high-context than the Japanese culture.”
