Why r people so harsh about Koreans?

Many Chinese people grew up hearing that Korea was claiming a lot of things with Chinese origin as their own cultural heritage (New Year, zhong zi, dragon boat festivals, etc)

So a lot of them ended up hating Koreans because of those claims.

In general, the netizens from China, Korea and Japan hold a lot of grudges to each other due to historical and political issues.

Who is making fun of Koreans...

the propaganda fed to usa about the dprk is a lot more intense (and downright bizarre...) compared even to what they've been told about the prc. hakim did a video a few years back detailing (and debunking) a good bit of it: https://youtu.be/EzDhqXuELjo?si=Y_lH-qOJFgkaK3Gl

media such as video games, pop music and the netflix series squid games from the rok has become a bit more popular in the west in recent years, which has led to a racist backlash in some more right-wing circles

Properly started from last Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics where South Koreans truly lack sportsmanship. It is not good as majority can't the different between Koreans and the rest of Asia.

It’s for real. Due to sinophobia, much of Chinese culture is ascribed to Korea and Japan. Because Chinese didn’t have much of a voice in the global stage and with the perceived glamorousness of kpop and anime, the cultural exports of Korea and Japan, a truly shocking amount of culture has been appropriated. I just want to ask how many people think of China when you see matcha, mochi, bonsai, ramen, or gyoza? What about Asian makeup, nails, and fashion? Because red note content is often directly lifted and branded K-beauty. This is barely scratching the surface.

This isn’t always done by Japanese and Koreans themselves, but even when things are wrongly credited, weebs and koreaboos will aggressively curse at Chinese people or anyone who says otherwise. Since few people know a much of Chinese culture, I don’t think non-Chinese can really understand just how much has been appropriated.

Where Japan has more openly admitted or respectfully mentioned Chinese influence in their culture, some (mostly online keyboard nationalists) Koreans and Koreaboos actively appropriate. This means not only claiming elements of Chinese culture, but also claiming to have invented it and actively attacking Chinese in online spaces for participating in their own culture. There’s a fairly negative sentiment right now towards Korea due to 1. cultural appropriation and 2. sportsmanship, if you’ve heard anything about weiqi and the LG cup

They are stoling everything.
