Are Korean names their given middle name for use in the Korean home while their English name is used for outside?C Dear C, It is not a silly question to ask. This is a silly question to ask....

New York Times has the perfect article that shows if people can't hate on skin color, they will hate on something else. Here is the link.Here is the relevant part: "Much of South Korea’s economy, Asia’s fourth largest, would falter without these workers and 200,000 migrants from poorer countries, like Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Uzbekistan. Because they understand the language and culture, ethnic...
Dear Korean, Why don't blacks and Koreans have a better relationship, and what can be done about the problem? It's amazing how Koreans living in Korea seem much nicer than Koreans in the United States. Do you think the U.S. has a way of dividing people? Romulus A.

Note: See another post about Korean last names here.Dear Korean, My mother's side of the family is from Korea. My mother always says to be very proud of my Korean last name Kim.
