Yoshitaka, you are way off on this one.  By the way,
I might take issue with grunt when he calls it 
racist.  What Japan did to Korea was not necessarily
racism but imperialism.  She wanted to annex Korea
forever.  One way to do is changing names and
banning language.

It is called forced volunatarism.  Yes, you had
a choice not to change.  However, if you did not
you were guaranteede a miserable life.

Yes, there were but very, very vew of them
were able to get away with it.

This is the biggest garbage I have read.
Japan did everything she could to distroy
Korean language.  If you spoke Korean, you
were penalized, sometimes imprisoned.

That you say Japanese taught Koreans Hangul
is not even funny.  My mother was a school
teacher and she was imprisoned for teaching
Korean language, Hangul, and Korean songs,
for Haven's sake!  Since they put her in
prison soon after my eldest brother was born,
he did not survive!

Are you just plainly misinformed or deliberately
spinning?
