Now that is a heavily biased remark if I ever saw one. Talk about racism. And no, arguments like "Korean is a nationality, not a race" doesn't make my accusation any less valid, because then I would just say "talk about anti-Korean bias" or "anti-Korean prejudice." True, Appletrees may have some antagonism towards the Japanese (though I suspect it's only towards ultranationalistic Japanese who he/she feels has affronted Korean nationalism), but making such blanket statements like the one above isn't any better. Yes, I identify myself as Korean as well, but I know idiocy when I see it, be it Korean, Japanese, or otherwise.

And just because everyone on this world uses "Sea of Japan" doesn't mean that it's not valid to investigate why, or to ask the question "is that the right thing to do?" Saying things like "everyone on this world uses 'Sea of Japan'" as if it were the end of the debate for something as nebulous as the way things were named in the imperialist era is not only intellectually stifling, but also works to limit free speech.
