Question Japan and Korea, GIVE UP and shake! - 05-06-2009, 01:42 AM

OK.. I think many of us know about the history, apology, text book, school education part but has this feeling affected the younger generation in Japan and Korea towards how they feel about each other or does the feeling still linger?

Will an apology ever come or be felt anywhere?

I think we will be speaking relevant to Japanese and Korean ages.

My X (Japanese) hated Korean people, 37 years old.

My current partner (Korean) hates Japanese, 36 years old.

Now I find myself torn between three as my two year old is half Japanese so of course I support him.

Myself, I'm an Aussie and am torn between confusion knowing that Japan was out enemy, whislt Korea was our wartime friend.

It is causing some problems between my current partner and I, so how would you handle this?

I mean, my current relationship is all good, but this Japan vs Korea thing is a constant reminder and I hate it.

I don't have anything against either cultures, but what should I do?
Support myself and son, or just try to accept each other's opinions?


Cheers - Oz
