Don't Be A Koreaboo While Naming Your Kids

So I just got home from school (before writing this post) and saw this topic posted on One Hallyu. I was facepalming myself before I even read the actual first post.



It's okay to be interested in Korean culture. We all are, or else none of us would be active here on AKF. On the other hand, there is a line that this poster crossed. Why would you give a black kid a Korean name? I don't see any Koreans naming their kids Santanio, Raekwon, etc.

Hell, I'm half Korean and don't even have a Korean name. I highly doubt I would give any of my future kids (if I'm dumb enough to have any) a Korean name, and I would actually have a legitimate reason to do so. There are things that should remain within their own culture. It's not like I'm rushing out to give my future kids black names so that they have a hard time even obtaining interviews for jobs.
