it could also be a 'v' for victory, because we always win.

You know you’ve seen it, and you know you’ve wondered why asian people use it so often. All asians: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and (Insert Asian Ethnicity)-ese have utilized this sign in pictures from the time of the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics, where an embarrassed Janet Lynn raised it up in victory after falling on her rump. This phenomenon, from that moment, spread faster than a Windows Vista virus because the Japanese Media plastered it on every poster and television advertisement. (Before that, Americans used it to signal “V” -ictory during WWII, but the Japanese seldom used it as a peace sign.)

Lol it was something I always wondered about.

So we had a work exchange program at my last place of employment. We had 30 Koreans working with us. They asked us about stereotypes and we said what is up with the cameras. They had no idea what we were talking about.
