once upon a time.. there was korea

korean people claim a lot of chinese history and historical figures as their own. according to them:

confucius is korean
tai chi originated in korea
sun yat sen is korean
koreans are so pretty because xi shi is their ancestor
chinese medicine is korean's lost culture
chinese characters came from korean characters

there are many many many many more ridiculous claims. not gonna list everything here. all of these things are historical in nature, but they are very well established CHINESE history. anyways, thats not news. everything came from korean right?

totally. just a couple of days ago i was talking to my co-worker. the conversation:

K: do you know this korean game? ooh what is it called...

me: hmm?

k: oh starcraft! its really popular.

me: starcraft? but... um.. thats korean?

k: yeah! its really popular in korea. the second one just came out.

me: but its developed by Blizzard...

k: yeah, but its a korean game. everyone in korea plays it. it was originally developed in korea and the data base is there... or something like that.

me: but BLIZZARD developed it....

k: yeah! but its korean!

ok. seriously. starcraft!? just because the entire country of korea is obsessed with it doesnt make it a korean game. its an american game developed by an american developer. this hasnt even became history yet, and they are already claiming it. so whats next? english originated from korea??
