Is Suvi Korean or are some of her ancestors Korean? There's a difference.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

And if she doesn’t know either way that’s on her parents not on her

Been reading Nationalism by Rabindranath Tagore. So, I am wondering if National identity of an individual is actually taught and whether nations is even a good thing.

I guess, I turning into a bit of an anarchist.

National identity is definitely taught, but it's also acquired naturally. We like to belong, so even if we weren't assigned a specific nationality, i believe we'd eventually be making our own, just more freely and dynamic.

Identity is aquired naturally. National Identity isn’t.

In other systems our core identity might be city, or village, or lake, or mountain range, or tribe, or class, or job, or beliefs, or culture, or relgion, or clan, or langauge, or dialect etc.

National Identity (Nationalism) is a rather new thing to be mainstream. Only a couple centuries.

Maybe this is too idealistic, but I strongly believe that instead of identifying with one arbitrary group or another, perhaps we should aim to identify as human or even as part of the nature itself.

Nationalism as an ideology is relatively new, identity and sentiment tied to a state and shared cultural grouping is very old and it's actually quite debated when you could really say it evolved.

For example:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism_in_the_Middle_Ages

And if you ever want to fluster a classical studies professor, ask them whether they consider Roman identity to be nationalism in front of a peer.

Interesting. Suvi is a Korean name?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No it's a method of cooking vacuum sealed food, I'm pretty sure.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's Sous Vide. You must have meant those large cars that replaced station wagons.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, that's an SUV. You're thinking of the main human character of True Blood

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, that’s Sookie. You’re thinking of Katie Holmes daughter.

[–] Klear 3 points 1 week ago

Is she Korean?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

No it's actually a type of large automobile, a sport utility vehicle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yes and means summer. Just haven't seen it used anywhere else, so had to ask.

Amazing how they got the single Korean child existing right now for their format
