There is no such thing as a Pure "Korean" blood theory. The subject has never existed. The article itself is a synthesis and interpretation of topics relating to ethnic nationalism in Korea. Basically a POV-content fork of Korean nationalism. And by interpretation, I mean everything about the article is borderline original research. Akkies (talk) 20:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Hyperbolic swastika aside, this appears to be a well done article. The argument of the nominator that "the subject has never existed" seems to be belied by at least two and probably more cited sources in the article, including THIS ONE. I think there might be grounds for giving this the NPOV once-over twice, but I certainly don't think this is a subject that has "never existed," nor do I think that it is a matter that lies outside of an encyclopedia's purview. Carrite (talk) 21:20, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upon further reflection, a name change to Pure blood nationalism (Korea) might be in order. Carrite (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think the current title touches the point of this article well and it's a theory after all, nationalism is just a segment of this. --LLTimes (talk) 23:12, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The search result actually shows that the pure blood issue is widely discussed in the korean society under the names of "pure blood", "pure race", "single race" (danil minjok), "single nation" which are collectively called "pure blood theory" and "pure blood hypothesis" in the disputed article.
Maybe the name can be changed to "pure blood concept in Korea", "pure race hypothesis in Korea" or "pure blood issue in Korea" if a word "theory" is not scientifically accurate to discuss a topic related to fringe science ?
The history of revision also doesn't support that the nominator's observation that the topic is a fork from Korean nationalism. This one records the pure-blood related issues such as its origin of the notion, genetic analysis, discrimination on mixed blood, intermarriage's impact on "pure blood notion". --Winstonlighter (talk) 21:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey! your reference to '순혈주의' is inappropriate. Because, this '순혈주의' isn't correlation. --Idh0854 (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Power overwhelming... should we call WP:SNOW soon? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 10:08, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey! stop! use Inappropriate account, now! --Idh0854 (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
'또라이' is korean. This is mean offensive word. (≒ STFU) --Idh0854 (talk) 15:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Korean word "또라이" literally means "Stone-head jerk". It is very bad, offensive word. So, can you erase that word from your sign? - Chugun (talk) 15:48, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is never oft-mentioned topic about Korean nationality. In fact, the term '순혈주의' is used only when criticizing discrimination against 'mix-blooded' people. No Korean historians admits that the Koreans are really homogeneous. Also, many references of the sources, especially in this section, distorted major debation in Korean society. Jung Suk-keun, and Handan chronicle, are not reliable sources. Handan chronicle was decreed as fake at least 20 years ago, and Jung Suk-keun and few other 'out of the current system' historians are unreasonably claiming childish hypotheses, e.g. "Chinese letter was made by Eastern Barbarians(東夷,동이), who are the ancester of Korean!" Of course, Common historian did never accept their claim. --Mintz0223 (talk) 03:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This whole thing is a silly article that should be deleted but if you guys keep it, the 20 to 30 year old theories that people in Korea do not believe should probably not be used. In addition, If Koreans believe they are the superior race, then the subordinate concept would not make sense. We have to bring in references about superior beliefs, I think it will be a mess, but when you edit please keep in mind the article believes Korean superior pure race stuff, so subordinate would contradict the article. And please do not censor or delete references. Rewording may be better keeping in mind the article is about Koreans believing in superior pure race. --Objectiveye (talk) 05:07, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Objectiveye, I'm concerned of some your edits on the article. While you vote for deletion, you keep adding endless crank history and put them as a "fact" in the article, which may really turn out to be a reason to support the deletion.
By providing this NationalGeographic article, you proclaimed that [9] "historical evidence has pointed to Korea being the original bloodline for the Japanese Royal family from its inception." Not only is the tone wrongly put, I actually don't see how this part of content developed the pure blood theory in Korea. Maybe you need more explanation on the talk page before insisting to put these contents that apparently weaken the article. --Winstonlighter (talk) 06:07, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can't make the Japan issue and Korean superiority beliefs separate, because it is a continuation from WWII Japanese Occupation and their 20th century idea. While Japan believe they were pure by changing the date of Jingu from the Korean line of 4 or 5th century to 1st or 2nd century. In addition to moving the monument in Manchuria to Korea and changing Gojoseon to myth (which is also debated). If you are to believe this article that Koreans believe they are the pure superior race, then they would use all the archeological evidence pointing out Korean links with ancient Japan. Koreans would point out their superiority (If that is what they believe) That would be the only way for this theory to make sense. If Koreans do not clarify why they are superior to Japan this article is just some anti-Korean POV article made by a Japanophile. It wouldn't even make sense. No superior race would beleive they were subordinate to someone else with out clarifying the issue. And if you look at the article by Winstonlighter, Gojoseon history is stated to be a myth (Which is not true and is debated). But Winsonlighter wants to take out the section about Koreans bloodlines for Japan's Royal family because it is debated. Winstonlighter you cannot leave in one debated information but decide to delete another debated information. (That is censorship) That would be censoring certain information to make a POV article. You just can't have one withouut the other. Koreans cannot believe they are superior without justifying the Japanese occupation with evidence of Korean superiority. You can find article which state that Koreans never had a war with Japan in 1910 and it was a cowardly con job, in occupying and annexing Korea and that is why Koreans still believe they are superior or something like that or you can find articles about Western weapons which the West only traded with Japan and that is why they caused so much Damage in NE Asia, but without these weapons the Koreans believe Japan is still the Wokou and inferior. With these archeological evidence Koreans point out the inferiority etc or how ever you want to word it. You cannot have one without the other, they cannot be separated because you would be contradicting yourself in the article. If Koreans truly believed they were superior, Japan's introduction of this concept in the 20th century to this pure superior race bloodline would have to be explained and why Koreans still believe they are a superior pure race. I say delete the article, but if it is kept, this has to stay to make sense. I have no problems with you guys editing my stuff. I just wanted to correct the contradictory POV tone of the original article. When you edit please keep in mind you are in an article stating the Koreans superior pure bloodline is believed, so they would never be subordinate to anyone else without an explanation, and that is when all that Jingu stuff start to come in and not knowing why Japan limits the access of their Royal tombs, etc. Cannot have one without the explanation of superiority belief. Try rewording it in a way that makes sense to why Koreans are superior pure race etc. or just delete it altogether. Thanks --Objectiveye (talk) 06:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can't complain that the Japanese and Westerners introduced the concept of racial purity to the Koreans. Komitsuki (talk) 06:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also South Korean public has an exceptionally huge problem with its own mass medias. So any news from South Korea has unusually big negative impressions outside of South Korea. This is a problem that Japanese and Chinese media faces too. Komitsuki (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
herp derp? Do you really have to belittle to the people who disagree with you? Komitsuki (talk) 06:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete: Well, I don't see anything wrong with deleting it. Many anti-Chinese articles were deleted right before the Beijing Olympics. I don't like the idea of fueling anti-Korean racism despite I have a minor Chinese connection. If you watched a documentary from the national TV station, KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) a while ago, it argues and accepts the fact that 40% of Koreans have non-Korean ancestry in their surnames. Hypocritically the dictator, Park Cheong-hee, who promoted Korean racial purity considered himself as a Japanese due to his allegiance with the Japanese Empire; the Japanese Empire that promoted modern pre-WWII Japanese values of racial purity. The whole racial purity of Koreans isn't even 100% approved by the today's public but as a reaction to Japanese racial purity in the past and today's political mentality stemmed from the Cold War. So I find it very ridiculous to argue about this. Komitsuki (talk) 07:15, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You said my first vote was invalid. Komitsuki (talk) 07:24, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just from my personal experience in Wikipedia. Komitsuki (talk) 07:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For one, they don't get deleted for no reasons, as most deletions are viewed and contributed by admins too as well as other members. And certainly that is not a reason to delete this article either.--LLTimes (talk) 07:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say "no reasons" or "with reasons" in my previous comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Komitsuki (talk • contribs) 07:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the reason why I voted the way I did was because this will be a constant mess. In order to not be contradictory

you have think about this and add it to the article for it to make sense. If Koreans believe they are superior pure race, then they will need to explain why they still feel superior after WWII. By adding in the archeological info about Japan they can come to that idea. You guys can re-word it but you have to explain why Koreans would still believe they were still the superior pure race. The concept according to the article was introduced by Japan in the 20th century but they were suppose to be subordinate? That would not make any sense, why would this idea would still persist today. You have to clarify how research after the occupation lead to Koreans feeling superior by (and you can reword it how ever):

Historical evidence has pointed to Korea being the original bloodline for the Japanese Royal family from its inception. The constant tombs with Korean writing, clothes and artifacts have added to the idea that Korea's pure blood is Japan's elite. In 1976 Japan stopped all foreign archaeologists from studying the Gosashi tomb which is suppose to be the resting place of Emperor Jingu. Prior to 1976 foreigners did have access. Recently in 2008, Japan has allowed controlled limited access to foreign archaeologists, but the international community still has many unanswered questions. National Geographic wrote Japan "has kept access to the tombs restricted, prompting rumors that officials fear excavation would reveal bloodline links between the "pure" imperial family and Korea"[1]

With Japans elite being of Korean blood, it didn't matter that they occupied Korea because they were under a Korean Emperor or something like that. In addition:

As science progressed the Subordinate race appeared to be the Japanese. The Japanese elite appear to be of Korean origin. The Japanese pure royal blood line was of Korean origin with ancient buddhist school, artifacts, sculptures, architecture and writing, including the introduction of iron processing and horses all coming to Japan from Korea.[2][3][4]"[5][6][7] These scientific researches lead to Japan limiting the access of Japan's royal tomb from the international community.[8]

and

Borrowing from the Japanese theory of nation and race[9], Shin Chaeho located the martial roots of the Korean in Goguryeo[9], which he depicted as militarist, expansionist which turned out to inspire pride and confidence in the resistance against the Japanese[9]. In order to establish Korean uniqueness, he also replaced the story of Gija whose founder was the paternal uncle or brother of the Chinese Shang emperor Zhou with the Dangun legend[10] and asserted that it is the important ways to establish Korea’s uniqueness.[9] These are analogous to the Japanese establishing their Emperor Jingu to be from the 2nd century and replacing their Korean pure lines while limiting access for the international community to the Korean artifacts/clothes found in the tombs.[11]

You have to add this above section to show they think they are correcting Japans fabrications, etc otherwise why would they think they were superior.

Someone needs to fix this because a quick check on history of China states they are older than 2333 BC

After the independence in the late 1940s, despite the split between North and South Korea, neither side disputed the ethnic homogeneity of the Korean nation based on a firm conviction that they are purest descendant of a legendary genitor and half-god figure called Dangun who founded Gojoseon in 2333BC[12], making Korean the oldest civilization in the whole world based on the description of the Dongguk Tonggam (1485).[13]

If we add this (You guys can reword it)

This "oldest civilization in the whole world" reference is in obvious error considering the History of China section states that the Jiahu culture, Yangshao culture and the Longshan culture of China are all older with dates ranging from 6000 to 2500 BC compared to 2333 BC Gojoseon of Dongguk Tonggam. Considering Korea doesn't believe they are the oldest civilization in the world and Asians easily finding references to Chinese civilizations dating in back to the 6000 BC time frame, how the writer of this reference stated studying archeology of Gojoseon Korea the "oldest civilation in the whole world" is questionable.

Anyways we have to fix these obivous contradictions --Objectiveye (talk) 08:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Objectiveye, many users have also expressed that many of these points are irrelevant to the topic at hand. Things about the Japanese Imperial family belong in the Japanese Imperial Family article. Things about historical claims belong in the Korean nationalism article. This article should solely stick to the direct topic, and its effects on Korean society. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:08, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is relevant, If as the article claims Koreans feel they are the superior race, this will not be subordinate. In the 70s when the Japanese stopped all foreign archeologists from analyzing the Royal tombs the Koreans would have used that to justify their superiority (If that is what they believe, I will re-word these references later once all the voting is in, but you get the idea) Superior race will not leave subordinate idea alone and that is why the Japanese imperial family stuff belong in this article. We can also link it to the Japanese royal family article itself.
We can just merge this with the nationalism in Korea article or we can correct these contradictions. A superior race will explain why they are not subordinate. And even if Korea is 6000 years old they are still younger than China because of the 6000 BC culture would make them 8000 years old. See how this is a contradictory statement. This is highly analogous to the 600 BC or older claim in Japan. We should delete the article altogether or related to the Japanese history of pure race as well.

In either case

1. Superior race will not leave a contradictory idea of subordinate alone without explanation
2. Quick History of China search shows they have cultures dating back to 6000 BC
3. This probably shouldn't be lumped in with the Nazi era stuff, because the time period would be after WWII
We have to fix these contradictions, or this article will appear to be made by some Japanophile editor with too much time on his hands with too much hate in his heart. --Objectiveye (talk) 18:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This data is most people claim korean histroy is 6000 years. But, this isn't true. Only some people claim 6000 years. Therefore, this data is WP:NOR. --Idh0854 (talk) 11:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One, how is this relevant to Pure blood theory in Korea? Two, where in this article, or in this discussion, has anyone claimed that Korean culture goes for 6000 years? (Protip: Try CTRL+F.) -- 李博杰  | —Talk

Whether Korea is 6000 years old or not doesn't even matter when the statement in the article doesn't make sense. Even if Korea was 6000 years old, Anyone who studied E Asian history knows that is not the oldest, A quick search of History of China will show 6000 BC cultures. If you are going to put up a controversial article like this at least try not to make such lazy mistakes. It doesn't even matter if Korea is 6000 years old.

References of Pure blood theory in Korea. --Idh0854 (talk) 11:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And, korean people isn't claim 'making korea' of Chinese character. This's claimed to Hwandan Gogi need people.(No most people!) --Idh0854 (talk) 11:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English, do you speak it? Nobody here is talking about Hanja, Hwandan Gogi or anything else. Nobody is claiming that Korea is 6000 years old. I don't know where you're getting all these WP:NOR arguments from, when nothing has been said by anyone within this page. This article is about 순혈주의, if you have "WP:NOR" concerns about Hanja and Hwandan Gogi, this isn't the place to start a war of words. We are talking about how mix-bloods such as Hines Ward are perceived in Korea. We are talking about how Koreans see themselves from a racial point of view. All that you are referring to does not match with what is being brought across in this article. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 11:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, he types in English. He is pointing out the fact that not all Koreans are collectively racist by showing a rather different example. Komitsuki (talk) 12:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware that he types in English, but how is what he saying relevant to the topic at hand? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because he's a Korean who criticized against Korean superiority. Korean "pure blood racism" goes hand in hand with Korean superiority. And as he was criticizing Korean superiority, he criticized Korean "pure blood racism". Komitsuki (talk) 12:28, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pure blood theory ≠ supremacy. Pure blood theory refers to the notion that the Korean race has minimal intermixing; that clearly has nothing to do with supremacy. Being pure-blooded does not make one superior. The two notions are different. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But the majority of Koreans believe in both Pure blood theory and supremacy hand in hand, kinda like a product of Japanese education and social situations. Komitsuki (talk) 12:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You just contradicted your earlier statement. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:40, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really when I'm only pointing out what they believe in. I didn't say that I agree with the pure blood theory. Komitsuki (talk) 12:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but you are one person. How else do you think these ideas have come about? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:47, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, Korean pure race theory is a para-political choice in protest against "old Japanese race theory" that Koreans and Japanese are hypothetically same race-nation. This was unfortunately promoted in South Korea by an undemocratic dictator. Komitsuki (talk) 12:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"This was unfortunately promoted in South Korea by an undemocratic dictator" - True, true, I 100% agree with you on that. But that then means that this theory does indeed exist right? Thus, it is not an argument that "this theory does not exist/is invalid", right? Then, there is no need for deletion. If you now have a look at the article, I have chemo'ed the cancer, so there is no more of this controversial historical business. In the case where you might still believe there are minor WP:OR problems, they can be fixed, and thus, again, deletion is unnecessary. Agreeable? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:55, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have told me that "you do not believe in this theory" and that "this theory is wrong", although "it does exist, introduced by (Park Chung-hee)". Not in exact words, but you implied those, right? Things aren't deleted from Wikipedia if people consider them to be wrong. Many people consider Nazism wrong, but that page has not been deleted. Same with Communism, White Power movement, polygamy... do you understand what I'm saying? Being disagreeable does not warrant for deletion. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment/Alternative Suggestion: Make a new article called "Racism in East Asia". Incorporating "Pure blood theory in Korea" with Japanese Nihonginron, etc, or racial issues in China, Korea, and Japan into a single article. Because of the unfortunate late 19th and 20th century geopolitics in the past, I think all of these countries have inter-related form of racism. Komitsuki (talk) 12:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just call it Racism in Korea, disassociate with Nazi race theories. Komitsuki (talk) 12:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But to does not directly address racism in Korea. It is an article about a pure blood theory. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But it does address racism directly or not. Plus, racism in Korea has a very political origin. Komitsuki (talk) 13:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to be that you probably find this sensitive, because you consider Nazism wrong, or taboo. Let's get this straight. Nobody is saying that Koreans are Nazis. The article is stating that the Japanese introduced a concept which involved Koreans, and they themselves were influenced by the Nazi Germans, and Park Chung-hee later expanded on the idea, but nowhere does it say that Koreans = Nazis. Right? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:03, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not really per se. The Japanese pure blood theory (which influenced "Korean pure blood theory") has its origin in pre-Meiji Japan Kokugaku, that later influenced Nihonjinron. Komitsuki (talk) 13:08, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but I stress again, this article is not about racism in Korea. It was never intended to be that kind of article. If you want a "racism in Korea" article, feel free to be WP:BOLD and write one yourself. However, this article was intended to address this pure blood theory. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But why does this article also addresses racism in Korea? It could be an expandable topic other than the pure blood theory stuffs. Komitsuki (talk) 13:13, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Again, why? Are you trying to cover up something that you don't really like, by mixing it in with something bigger? Do you believe that this is "embarrasing" for you, or for Korea? I'd like to know an actual reason, other than a gut feeling that you think it will be a wonderful idea. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not covering it up. Because it's a darn concoction with the current racist trends in Korea. Komitsuki (talk) 13:52, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer to rename this Racism in Korea. As a Korean, not all Koreans are racist, nor think badly of China (HK, Macao, and Taiwan) or Japan. It is the internet alright and sometimes we have unfortunate flamewars. Komitsuki (talk) 13:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But that does not mean that there is no pure blood theory. And that does not mean that an article should be made about it. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:22, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree this as a part of the whole racism topic. Komitsuki (talk) 13:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why WP:MERGE it into "racism into Korea" when the topic is clearly distinct enough? Why not merge Dangun into Korean mythology? Why not merge Miracle on the Han River into Economy of South Korea? Why not merge Hangul into Korean language? Why not merge Hanja into Chinese character? You don't have double standards like that, right? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:28, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree with that proposed merge. If you read the sources, this topic is not always discussed in the context of racism - although Korean ethnocentrism may cause racism, that is not always the end-result. In essence, this topic is larger than the issue of racism in Korea. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 13:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Because in today's Korea, 純血主義 is a very minor topic. Komitsuki (talk) 13:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In today's Japan, Chikan is a minor topic, yet we have an article on it. In today's China, konghanzheng is a minor topic, yet we have an article on it. Being minor is irrelevant. We have articles on List of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 characters, for crying out loud. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't take me wrong. I only saying that the pure blood theory and racism are so intertwined in Korea. Komitsuki (talk) 13:40, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Let's say it like this: pure blood theory is a part of the history of "racism in Korea". Komitsuki (talk) 13:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just take a little time to look through some of the sources. Korean ethnocentrism is not only about racism. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 14:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do whatever you want. But please do notice that Koreans still have a very uneasy relationship with its past. They don't usually deny it per se, but more like continuously being rolled over by many politically historical issues in par with bad Korean authorities that seem to be pro-American and opportunists. Especially right after the Korean War. Komitsuki (talk) 14:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Implying that it's not the same for China (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) and Japan (Japanese militarism)? Every country has got one. Anyways, we're starting to get off track here. Regardless of whether or not it's a bad thing from Korea's past, it doesn't solely revolve around racism, as said above. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 14:27, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Park Cheong-hee was probably the worse leader in Asia in terms of diplomacy. Worse than Mao. Park Cheong-hee is the reason why Korea today is so screwed up. And brought discrimination policies against Chinese people living in Korea but it's getting improved today after President Roh. He should had become the minister of finance and economy instead of a dictator. The more you know. Komitsuki (talk) 14:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The topic is obviously a controversial one. If you have concerns about the content of the article, there are a couple of things I would suggest you do to improve the article: 1) scrutinise the sources that are used for the article for WP:SOURCES, WP:REDFLAG, and WP:UNDUE. Just because information can be found on the internet, doesn't mean that information ought to be used here in WP. And some of that information may be presented in this article as fact when it could just be the opinions of a few. And 2) delete content that is not attributed to any reliable sources at all.
