When nearly one out of four South Koreans doesn't feel proud to be South Korean, I wonder how valid or universal the Korea Pride™ meme really is. (And ditto with the Japanese and the French).
Pearls of witticism from 'Bo the Blogger: Kushibo's Korea blog... Kushibo-e Kibun... Now with Less kimchi, more nunchi. Random thoughts and commentary (and indiscernibly opaque humor) about selected social, political, economic, and health-related issues of the day affecting "foreans," Koreans, Korea and East Asia, along with the US, especially Hawaii, Orange County and the rest of California, plus anything else that is deemed worthy of discussion. Forza Corea!

Pride and prejudice
According to this Japanese government survey in the Japan Times, 91.2% of young American adults are proud to be American, 84.1 percent of similarly young Britons are proud to be British, 81.7% of youthful Japanese feel the same way, followed by 78.0% of South Koreans and 77.1% of the French.
