the fact that your skin color, a factor you have NO CONTROL over, or your race or ethnicity, determines how well you are going to be treated is absolutely disgusting.
@@김도치-v5r don’t let your arrogance get in your head. If you don’t know it by now, the world is watching and catching up to racism in your country for the rest of the world to see. Eventually, people will March and do the same thing what they’ve done to the US. Being Asian American, you must be aware how the Asian populations here are also suffering due to the ignorance of people and hating Asians in general. Few days ago, I was at the furniture store and the Korean lady, a customer who was upset at the salesperson and started raising her voice complaining about her order. Next thing you know, the salesperson wasn’t having it. The Korean, threw the receipt aggressively. Then she approached me thinking I’d be able to assist her cause I’m Asian which I did. I was able to calm her down and explain it to her. But, her English is limited. So , I bust my language translation Papago . What I realized, is that most Koreans talks loud and aggressive which will not pan out here in the states specially younger Americans. The weirdest thing about this lady, she kept asking me if I’m Chinese cause my last name is Chinese. I said, my dad is Chinese and mom is Filipino. Ohhhh, no wonder why you’re so pretty . One thing about Asians in general, they relate to each other if they are in foreign land for the most part. Sadly, the ignorance superiority can sometimes overshadow the good in people.
@@myratan8368 It's not arrogance, it's fact. The East Asian economy has already crossed the economies of Western Europe, EU, and North America, and is the strongest place on the planet, with all the second, fifth, and sixth place in the world's military power rankings in terms of military strength. The cultural aspect is also threatening Europe. In addition, East Asians are the best race with the highest iq.
@@myratan8368 Cultural influence is still behind the West, but other than this, world hegemony is dominated by East Asia. And Korean and Japanese cultures are threatening Europe.
There’s a lot of justification of Korean racism and changing the topic to other countries and the racism experienced by Asians in this video. It’s kinda sad to see “they should get the same treatment/punished” when it was racism against Asians yet when it’s flipped it’s “you have to understand why” and “we are not as diverse so we don’t understand” I know it’s difficult but coming to terms with certain things is better than explaining it away or changing it to what Koreans experience as opposed (or even similar) to foreigners. Otherwise, I guess it’s a start
Yeah, as a white person in America, I see that happen a lot too. People will try to explain away things that happened because they'd rather not face the reality. Things can't change if people don't call it like it is.
@@user-dv9hn4fm5q Actually he is. That's the exact thing he is doing, and that's why it keeps happening. Because when you "explain" it you are perpetuating and disregarding a serious matter by making it seem ok.
So many countries do this as a way of making themselves look “not so bad” The moment they “understand then justify” is when you’re speaking to a person who doesn’t get it. Also as a traveling American, other countries tend to think of themselves as “not racist” when something BLATANTLY racist is done (looking at YOU Spain & Italy) because 1) this is something that has been ingrained in their culture as They always been like this it just went unchallenged because there isn’t enough POC of said victimization willing to SPEAK UP & actually push for change like America 2) they hold the atrocities of America as comparison. “Sure I will approach you with or yell out some uncomfortable racist mess to you in public but I’m not RACIST!! I’m not burning crosses or shooting you in the street, relax!” It’s very gaslighting. It’s gross and does nothing but allow their mess to continue.
@@margaridarodrigues4652 No, you aren’t. If you’re taking it like that it’s you’re fault. Explaining the reason why something happens is not disregarding the nature or effect of that thing. Explaining something is not making it seem okay or justifying it.
So this video basically said, "Oh you've experienced racism? Well it's like that everywhere not just in Korea." AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOES OCCUR EVERYWHERE BUT THIS VIDEO WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE RACISM IN KOREA! LET'S TALK ABOUT ITTTTT
Yeah. I understand they were trying to relate to the situation by talking about their own experiences with racism from non-Koreans, but it really felt like they were ignoring the actual situations at hand.
There is a lot korean ppl reacting to racism like this but there's none action whatsoever by them. This just for his/her content and doesnt effect anything and doesnt change anything about racism in KOREA.
I love that these guys and gals are open minded, but I wish they would have also touched on Korean racism against Southeast Asians as well. There are still many Koreans who see SEA people as inferior, and as someone who is ethnically Southeast Asian and loves Korean food and culture, it hurts my heart to see.
ahh right, I kinda feel like they're looking down on SE Asians (like me) because we love korea and especially kpop. well I guess more koreans are now civilized and is now more open-minded about different races :)))
in Korea, there are really many problems done by SEA people. for example, about 85% of Thai in Korea are staying illegally!! and, Filipinos... therefore, many Koreans want to clear all of them, but PC. the idea of racism is really a cause of another racism here. protecting them too much has increased Korean's hatred against them!! fortunately, SEA people are not who Koreans don't like the worst. if they also feel responsible and contribute to the society, they could be considered positive. Korea already had a congressman who was originally from SEA.
@@untwuji6819 it does because victims who are suffering from those problems are mostly Koreans. people really better be more realistic to deal with the issue. just saying no-racism cannot solve any. and, there is actually no reason that the idea of racism should be considered very important to Koreans.
Exactly, I think his is a good example of ignorance over blatant racism, but when it's systematic and you're see it right in front of you and defend it? That line is definitely blurred, hard.
@@lullabyybabyy5406 The culture seems to have absorbed crappy philosophies of Buddhism. Those are big on self preservation and appearance. Apparently, dark color or socially considered ugly person is associated with being bad in the previous life. They also found meaning in color of skin from the SOUTH ASIAN story about Buddha. Then there is the problem of turning vibe into materialism under the guise of aesthetics. Everything and everyone must look pleasing to the eyes. That’s why, “peaceful” Buddhism couldn’t get big like the 3 organized religions. But yes, buddhists who are still left in south asia keep their community isolated from the rest. Monks have a special rule that they will not share table with any nonbuddhist.
Korea definitely has come a long way to being more open and sensitive racial and cultural diversity. It’s videos like this that allow more opportunities for discussion and learning 🙌💯
I honestly don’t think this is an instance of racism here. Racism is based upon a superiority complex, this isn’t. Not saying it’s a good thing, but it seems more xenophobic than anything else. In Mexico, where I’m from, Americans are often overcharged for many things just because people think they can afford the extra buck. I live in the U.S. now, and every time we have family come up from Mexico, some of them expect us to pay for everything because they assume we can afford it. It’s not right, but I don’t think it’s racism at all.
@@danahi14 i can still atleast understand why they charge extra in less developed countries cuz they are struggling but korea use the excuse they dont want any trouble. why do they assume all foreigners are troubles when its always their drunk ajussi that cause the most problems
@@mhamomoisbestgirlperiodt728 You act like that definition doesn’t exist in almost every dictionary ever. Racism is against a “particular” ethnic group. It doesn’t include foreigners in the definition.
the girls sympathized a lot with the people discriminated against and even talked about how media amplified it by treating foreigners as strangers. proud of them for starting an important conversation !
The issue is you these are the "jewels" of S.Korea, seeing the girls affected as just like'em. I am sure some jerks are laughing all the while, watching this video.. In particular, about riding foreign horses
#1 in U.S , Europe. there are plenty of black(africans) people being racist toward to asians. ((* aggressive, violent, harm, hurting somone, black people are committing a crime in many country. as we know. comparing US, EU. korea is way more safe )) ((blacks are brainwashed by hip hop and gang culture. every black kid act like a tupac and biggie. so way more dangerous than asians )) #2 Korean are just curious about foregin appearance. not a racism ((*many koreans are never seen a black people hairstyle. so we kindly approaches to feeling of hair textures. many of them don't know express or speaking english. so they just approaches to you without permission because of language barriers seems rude but nothing personal.))
if u live in U.S there are plenty racism and crime. black people crimes are everywhere in .U.S and E.U. and white americans are enslaving a black to built a U.S don't you ever learn this from your school? korean are way more safe and kind person comparing those countries .
the guy explanation at 3:14 shouldn’t be even a rational reason, it’s just racism. that’s it. if you get denied the entry somewhere (unless for an ACTUAL dangerous reason) it’s straight up bad
Honestly as a woman living in korea and heard and saw stories, for women its better to not go to the clubs.. If you knew the amount of sexual harrasment, rape and drugging that happens in the club. Its better to not go. Even korean women avoid it nowadays.
I know that Rua meant no harm, but that kind of business thinking is racist/discriminatory. It stems from Korea's cultural background and unfortunately he is a product of the unified cultural teaching practices. In any other western country, charging foreigners extra just to be present is discrimination and is not allowed by law. Korea's business association needs to find a way to fix the "reason" for charging foreigners extra just for existing. Praying for continued growth! 🙏💜
I mean maybe not racist per se, as they do it to all foreigners even if they are of the same race, I’ll say more xenophobic ig. That kind of practice is also in a lot of African countries. Even if u r African urself once they hear you speak and see that you have a western English accent rather than an African one, they will charge you more. And if you are of a different race (usually white) they will definitely charge you, and this is coming from the mindset that since you are from abroad you have more money therefore they take advantage of that. It’s definitely wrong and such a selfish thing to do but it’s what happens and there is no law against it there as well. Just like you said hopefully shi* like this gets better.
@@oyinolubayo7079 You are Nigerian so you must know that they even do it to their own country people. In Nigeria if they hear the school you went to and it's a big private school they'll automatically assume you're rich and charge you extra. Or they just size you by composure, mode of dressing, diction, temperament and if you sabi pidgin or not. So I don't think it's based on Xenophobia.
unfortunately there are no anti-discrimination laws in Korea. any business can choose to discriminate against whoever they want to discriminate against and for whatever reason. They don't even need a reason. As far as I know, there are no laws in place to protect anyone from being discriminated against. I've lived here for almost 4 years and this is a conversation that comes up in the expat community a lot.
Discrimination sure, racist not really. In a lot of countries tourists are charged extra for certain services. Even if they're the same race as majority of the citizens in that country.
I actually don’t see both sides. Anyone should be let in to a place even if they are foreigners. Here in the States that behavior is not okay. Everyone is allowed access.
I see what he’s saying, but what he’s saying isn’t right. It’s treating all foreigners as suspicious and the “entrance fee” is the business’ insurance policy in case they cause a disturbance, that’s his explanation. But what’s really happening is the club is corrupt AF and there’s probably all kinds of illegal stuff going on inside anyways 🤷🏻♀️
The whole “language barrier” thing is bull, especially when it comes to foreigners living in Korea and not just visiting. If a Korean person were to try to enter an establishment in America and were told they couldn’t come in because of the “language barrier,” that would be seen for what it is: blatantly and grossly racist. It’s an assumption made based on their race. I just had a woman come into my customer service job the other day who couldn’t speak fluent English and I still helped her pick what she wanted from the menu and purchase it even though neither could speak the other’s first language fluently. I didn’t make her leave because she couldn’t speak English because that’s basic human decency.
americans and other whites do it all the time, plus distrust for americans specifically in a country that still has their millitary presence, and living generations from the war america inflicted, is comprehensive. However there is no justification for the way they perceive black people
The club thing was completely justifiable. American millitary presence in KR is still imperialist violence, and soldiers get away with treating women horribly at clubs, so, not allowing them in is absolutely understandable. White tears are hypocritical here and that isn't racism
As a Korean, I sincerely apologize for the bad experience that you had to go through. I honestly never knew that foreigners in Korea were rejected from entering places just because they were not being able to speak Korean fluently. We definitely need to bring awareness and work on this. I was also humiliated a lot of times in the States because of my broken English. I understand how tough this could be.
I experienced what was probably a mixture of racism and xenophobia in Seoul (I'm Filipino-American) - I was thrown out of a taxi in the rain even though I was speaking in Korean to try and get to my next destination, so I don't think it was a language barrier issue. I think the driver didn't realize I was a foreigner when I got in because I had my hood up, but I was thrown out when he looked at me. This was my first night I arrived, so I was tired from traveling and this encounter didn't feel great, but a young couple nearby stopped to help me grab another taxi, so I appreciated that. Looking back on that experience still stings sometimes, but I overall had a great experience with people in Korea and I want to visit again sometime! Thanks for speaking about this subject! Edit: I just came back from another trip to Busan and Seoul and had a wonderful visit - I could tell I was a tiny bit hardened by my previous experience (^ that was in 2019) at first, but I felt a difference since my last visit imo and people were so helpful. I easily had a great time. Looking forward to visiting again soon~
Most of the filipinos think of korea as a perfect place because it was romanticize in korean dramas but they didnt know that discrimination and racism there is very rampant. Its more comfortable to live in the US than in Korea, even though we share the same race as the koreans.
@@cahles6679 to be fair, I have also experienced my share of racism in the US, even though I was born and raised here. I do at least feel comfortable in the larger, more diverse cities though. I was in Korea for only 10 days (Seoul and Chuncheon), and that was my only “bad” experience; I encountered many warm, welcoming people otherwise - but I know actually living there could be different. I sense that younger generations may be more open minded too. To compare, I also get the feeling that I would probably be treated differently for being very “Americanized” in the Philippines - so I think forms of prejudice can exist anywhere, but perhaps being personally & collectively kind, vocal, persistent and optimistic about change can hopefully make for a better future. Maybe one day people’s romantic views of the world can come true 😊
Idk why people even move to korea it all because of the aesthetic kdrama and kpop korea is one of the most toxic country and soul is one of the most toxic city in korea...... no wonder suicide rate is high in korea it the asian country with the most suicidal rate Many korean must be living in pressure and while forcing want to go to korea for aesthetic and kpop many korean dream of getting money and living south korea whether is mean going to America ( that where most korean dream to be) or europe
I think racism against south/south east asians in east asian countries needs to be discussed more. We see a lot of videos on black/white foreigners experiences, to which there's a lot of plain cultural ignorance. For SE Asians I think there is really a more ugly and rooted racism...
It's motivated by different things. It's a way some people copes with their own personal struggles, it needs to blame someone but themselves because it feels bad if they realize that, in some cases you'll see the person's having something going on in their life. Sense of superiority, it self explains. Humans don't like those they perceive as inferior (a reason why humans as a species they may never respect other species), nor those they perceive as superior, that's why usually very famous people could be targeted even if they don't deserve it. Humans, adults especially, oversimplified things because it's easier, if someone would have an altercation with a person and they got mad, depending on how it's the person, they'll target the ethnicity of that other person, in other cases, their age or gender, then with resentment, humans can keep grudges for several years and even the whole life, they may think the they're all the same. It's mainly motivated by human ignorance and stupidity. Irrational hatred, you can't understand it nor the person who's doing it, but they do. It's also learned from a society, that's why a kid won't have those views, unless they're getting feeding those, but once they become 12, they may start to learn the prejudices of their society by themselves, around that age I remember how peers could start to use words and discriminate, personally, not even by influence I learned that, always perceived it as something awful, which it is, also unfair that it can affect mostly innocent people.
if u live in U.S there are plenty racism and crime. black people crimes are everywhere in .U.S and E.U. and white americans are enslaving a black to built a U.S don't you ever learn this from your school? korean are way more safe and kind person comparing those countries .
3:12 It's disappointing he easily justified racism like that 😕 they need to begin having a bigger awareness of this issue and start actively thinking because that's not good enough.

I think we have to see both side, Like Asian people if something not big enough happen to them they leave it. they don't like official thing,police,court even if it's for their advantage , on the other hand western people has different rules , like they sue people for small things , etc .I think that's is why Club business don't want to take any risk .It's like rather than racism they fear official things thay might have to face even if the foreigners isn't in fault,
I am an African American woman living in Korea and I remember the first time I attempted to go to a club here it was with a Korean American friend and a white friend. All they did was check IDs at the door, nobody really said anything as they entered. The security guard let my Korean-American friend in first since she was in line in front of us and then let my white friend in next and then stopped me and said "no foreigners." All 3 of us who were going out had Foreigner ID cards that say what country you are from, so the security guard would have seen both my friends in front of me also were American (it literally says UNITED STATES in all caps right in the middle....) I explained to them in Korean that they'd just let my two foreign friends in ahead of me, even if my Korean-American friend doesn't look foreign. They were barely listening to what I was saying and said the reason they don't allow foreigners is because of the language barrier. I speak Korean. I was talking to them in Korean. I told them both my friends they had just let in ahead of me could not speak Korean at all, I usually translate for them. I pointed out that they let my white friend in with no questions and they said "white foreigner okay." The only thing they said in English during this whole conversation. I was so upset. Never in my life have I been so upset. Literally just cause I'm black they wouldn't let me in. This was at a very popular club in Busan in 2019. I've been living in Korea since 2018 and have never tried to go clubbing again cause that situation made me so angry. Not all Koreans are racist, aside from that horrific experience everyone I've met has been nothing but kind. But there are systems in place in this country that discriminate against all foreigners, especially anyone with tan or dark skin, and often times everyone just agrees with the reasoning, telling us we should understand their situation and why it is the way it is. How can they say their reason for not letting me in was because of a language barrier when I had spoken nothing but Korean with them the whole time. It was an excuse they didn't even bother to change when it didn't apply to the situation. And based on my friends' experiences, I know that with COVID this whole "no foreigners" thing got worse, especially after there was an outbreak in Itaewon. I live in a city in Incheon that is heavily populated with a variety of foreigners and so luckily I have never faced anything like that since it happened, but I do still worry about it happening again. I love my life in Korea and overall have had a wonderful experience living here, but that moment will be burned into my mind forever as one of the worst memories in my life.
So sorry you went through this experience. It's interesting how you were not let in but I can guarantee that music featuring Black artists were blasting through the speakers of the club. How can you enjoy and use the entertainment of the same people you don't want in your establishment? That's a problem. I sincerely wish you well.

@@thapreShus1 LITERALLY. Like they will be blasting black music (90% of which will have the n word, and even tho no one in the club can speak English, suddenly they can when the n word comes on) but then deny you entry??? So u hate black ppl and foreigners (that at least don’t look Korean) but u have no problem using their culture. Great
I couldn't even finish watching this video. For one, Ruas comments on why businesses do what they do is exactly what this video is about... that's racist. Just because there is an explanation provided doesn't make it any less racist. Two, it makes me upset at how 'surprised' or 'shocked' that this happens. You have chosen to be carelessly blind. I'm in Korea right now ans the racism is so blatantly obvious how can you not identity it? Only way is if you choose to ignore it. These are not new. Foreigners have said and shared these stories many times. The excuse that Korea is not a multicultural society is getting old. It doesn't have any other problems adapting to other cultures via the internet but I guess when it's about speaking up fot foreigners they don't understand? Yeah, it's a no for me.
Exactly💯..and this is the response i see of Koreans, whenever there is video on yt about "Korean reacts to racism in Korea" the excuses they make are ridiculous, i understand they might not hv bad intention but it rubs me off how they excuse it with "cuz Korea is not multicultural country" like😅 rather than giving excuses & justifications, why don't you hold these ppl accountable..Racism is Racism!
Sometimes that's not the case though.. When you were born in a country where no one is educated about racism, not everyone will know what's racist and what's not. I didn't know that other races doing braids is racist, doing blackface is racist, until I learned about them from the internet. And each race will encounter racism from other races as well. For some cases maybe yes, people are really ignorant, they were told that doing a-z are racist but they chose to ignore. But for some other they're just pure uneducated and clueless.
There were a lot of excuses being made and personally there is much more severe racism in Korea to cover. Specifically in the media. Like so so so much racism in kpop/k dramas but so many ppl refuse to acknowledge. They just sugar coated racism in Korea in this video and I am not at all surprised 😐
Hi I am not very familiar with too many k-pop or k-dramas, could you give me some examples of racism that you see in the media? (Sorry for bad English lol)
You’ll never see foreigners getting beat up in Korea but you’ll see it often in America I can tell the only info you know about Korea is the 3 bts videos you watcjed
At this point in time, it’s very difficult for me to give people excuses for racist/prejudice behavior. It’s like that episode of hello counselor (which is honestly problematic in multiple ways) when an African guy came on and talked about what it was like being black in SK. Everybody acted so shocked like they couldn’t comprehend this man dealing with racism in their extremely homogeneous country. He was put together, spoke fluent Korean and was polite, but it still wasn’t enough to get a basic level of respect. People don’t even bother trying to do a little research or step outside their comfortable little bubble where everybody looks like them. It’s ironic for South Korea because of their entertainment industry. They have obvious influences of Black American, African, and Latin American culture in their music but don’t bother taking time to respect it or the people behind it. We all just have to work on being respectful and understanding.
They went on to later call him slurs, by the way. He had to shut his account down because of it and people told him to leave Korea , threatening him and "to pick cotton". If someone knows enough to insult you, they did their research.. they just choose to be hateful. I have talked to many people about it here (I live in Korea) and the sentiment I am often told is that it's not an issue for that person, so it's not something to be concerned about. Other Korean friends have even lost friends for talking about foriegner treatment too much with fellow Koreans.
@Google User I know, it was disgusting to see. And what’s more is that some of those people threatening him may have been some of those sitting in the audience of the show. People can be so horribly two faced.
This is how I feel about America. They dont understand other peoples cultures either and think theirs is the one and only and the best and everyone should follow their culture and if you dont you're a weirdo. I know this isn't true for all Americans, but the same ignorance on this video is also in America where culture is not respected.
What Rua says sounds sensible…except I’ve been to Korean-owned clubs *outside* Korea that don’t allow non-Asians inside. There was a famous one in NYC that only allowed light skinned Asians and pretty white women inside. They even discriminated against Korean-Americans, making you prove you’re fluent enough before entering. Saying policies are to “avoid trouble” is just an excuse to hide bigotry. As a Korean, this kind of prejudice and the naive defense of such prejudice, makes me really upset and embarrassed.
Your conclusion at the end, it shows you're failing for it. It's a vicious circles, it creates negativity, so it can drag others into it, which you shouldn't do if you're against any way of discrimination. Yes, there's discrimination against SEA countries as well as for other regions in SK, but that doesn't mean all KRs are that way, saying that, it's just doing what you say you dislike. Usually, only innocent people suffers with that. Example, a KR woman remembered an incident she found awful, she said one of her friends talked about her BF who was from another region, some of her 2 friends didn't react well to the news, while those same 2 friends praised another one with a European BF. The woman said those who reacted that way they were very ignorant for thinking that way.
Honestly, most people are like this no matter what group they belong too. I mean in the USA Black Lives Matter was a huge, but at the same black people were the most common people to assault Asians.
I don't think you understood what she meant. You failed to see, like countless of others, SEA are Asians too. Asians aren't exclusive to Japan, China and korea. And with your example you are basically saying koreans are racist amongst their own kind.
this video is leaving a really sour taste in my mouth because what do you mean you "can see both sides" both sides of what? racism?? like i get you want to defend the image of your country but is it really worth it if you have to defend and rationalise racism?
Maybe he used to be racist so understands where they come from but as he got older, now he understands the non racist side because he grew as a person and became less ignorant.
@@ladieslovecj no its called growth. I used to be racist in the past because of the culture I grew up in where this sort of behavior was normalized. But then when I left, I learned about what was going on and regretted it ever since. I became a better person but I used to be stuck in that bad place because I didn't know any better.
Trust me,I have a black friend and he told me about his experience while on vacation with his wife (mostly when they vacation in Asia, especially China, Korea and Japan) He and his wife were barred from entering some restaurants for fear of making people around them uncomfortable because they have black skin. And it's very unreasonable and absurd lol.
That’s why i will never travel to any other continent 😪let me stay here in Africa we have so many countries n places for vacations.I’m here in peace ✌️I can’t handle that 🙌
traveling to some west asian countries is a little better but hey i can’t tell u where to go obvs but middle easterns & afghans tend to be more hospitable especially from more war torn countries. we’ve all had our fair share of colonial mindset brough into our countries & it’s sad honestly.
happened to me and my gf in korea and we're Indians we’re not even black image their behaviour towards a back person. never visiting korea again. They want world to call them westerners or europeans🤡. Colonial mentality
As minorities we know racism, but as humans we need to understand that ignorance is not an excuse. Korea is a gorgeous country, with beautiful culture and amazing people. But hate crimes are on the rise. Racism due to ignorance is not the only problem that Korean society has. I would say that the bullying culture is even more alarming. So many beautiful & talented Koreans are being horribly bullied to commit suicide for being gay or having "happy birthday" nipples on picture...is simply unacceptable. As humans we need to learn to respect others...it is that simple! Back to the subject; Riddle me this, 1. Why promote tourism if we're gonna be asked if we are Russian prostitute when we go out? 2. Why did a female pimp follow my two sisters and I ?? 3. Why promote your country to foreigners ??? To bully and call an elderly woman "the fat one" by airport personnel? Yes!! That's right! They spoke out loud thinking foreigners don't speak the language. But some do!!! I'm willing to be patient and understanding to this level of ignorance...but part of my family lives in Korea and my beautiful baby niece doesn't need this kind of memories branded in her brain... We need to do better for the next generation ♥️ it is a must!

As a black woman, i can say us in the black community will have plenty of stories where we’ve experienced racism. My earilest experience that i can remember was when i was 6 years old. One memory that now i see how wrong and horrible it was, was that when i was 7 years old, this white boy came up to me and asked if i had dirt on my skin and if i could wash it off. At the time i looked at him like an idiot. But as i got older, i realized how racist that was and knew that he definitely was taught that at home.
@@animegirlie7119 they are half right though, it is racism but it is also a kid that tried to come up with a logical answer. It's like if a kid see's a pregnant woman and calls her fat, people would call that fat shaming but it's just a kid being uneducated. We could assume that the kid was taught that at home but that doesn't mean it's a fact. I would also like to know how old the white kid looked.
@@wheresmyjams1 I agree! It’s definitely wrong, but it could definitely be an uneducated kid who didn’t know any better. I remember seeing this video (I forget the channel name) of this tall white guy going into this very small town in a country in Africa and the kids starting running away screaming thinking he was a ghost. The kids quite literally thought he was a ghost, so it was obvious they weren’t intentionally being rude.
4:49 there we go. “We need to understand that our behavior without realizing is racist.” This is unconscious racism that stems from centuries of people being taught that they are above others and/or that this behavior is okay.
wierd thoughts though! if u know what is i wrong and what is right! i would never treat a human being in a way that he/she woulde feel bad! not hard to understand! treat people like u want them to treat u!
That's why I dare to say racism will exist in SKR for a long time, may be to eternity. To change anything even in your daily life you must fist admit there's a problem. How can you fix anything if you deny it's not exist or act as if it's common since there are that problem doing by others/in other places? Racism happens in every country. Thats' right. But how frequently is another thing. This is something they never thought. Besides it shows they don't understand that wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it and right is right even if no one is doing it. This way of thinking reflects their mindset, which of cause shaped by their culture and environment.
The entering establishment thing, not just clubs, has effected me before. Not just that, I specifically had a taxi driver in Gwacheon THROW my luggage and tell me he wasn't going to take my black a$$ anywhere.. to the other taxi driver that grabbed my luggage and drove me to Anyang, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU 🥰🥰🥰 he apologized for the other guy the entire time and even paid for my KTX ticket to Busan!! He didn't have to do that. But he wouldn't take no for an answer. Bless that man.
Ahh that is so nice. May good karma always find him. This made me shed a little tear. The universe responded to you with love for the injustices you experienced. That was awesome
As a Korean, I was a bit disappointed in the guy in the gray hoodie. I think he had good intentions but him defending the racist behavior by “providing context” or mentioning there’s racism against Koreans too is part of the problem. Yes, Koreans experience racism too. But the content presented to them was specifically about Koreans being racist to foreigners in Korea.
Yep, that’s the kind of person that would be upset if people kept deflecting about anti Korean racism by saying “yeah but other people experience racism too”. Koreans suffer a lot from racism, but Korean society is not free from racism either.
How is touching someones hair racist? It's rude, How is saying riding a white horse racist? It's crude. Not letting foreigners into clubs that's not racist because the intent is not there. They just don't want to deal with legal problems if they arise. Totally acceptable. Now Foreigners treatment of Koreans thats racism.
@@christianrhee4552 1. There are plenty of resources on the internet that you can search up to find iut why in some cases touching a black persons hair is racist. Google it. 2. Riding is talking about s e x and the white horse is the Asian. It’s like saying you got “yellow fever” 3. What other intent is there to not letting foreigners in then to specifically excluding them if clubbing? Bc a foreigner can go in, have fun and break no rules, just as much as a native Korean going in and causing chaos. You’re judging foreigners based on their race and acting as if every foreigner is going to go in and break rules. That’s stereotyping and that’s being racist
Also NO ONE SAID THAT KOREANS DONT SUFFER RACISM FROM FOREIGNERS. To sit there and make the statement you did clearly shows you have no cognitive thinking skills at all
@@bluelover334 no, I'm saying many of the club owners don't want to deal with POSSIBLE problems that could arise. Not saying that foreigners all cause problems. They just don't want to deal with the Police just in case something does happen. There way of dealing with this is to just not let them in. If you can't understand this then you don't understand Korean People. Trust me it has nothing to do with racism. A lot of these clubs have mafia ties according to my friends in Korea.
i find it incredibly odd that koreans have issues with fully accepting foreigners, especially black people, into their society but will appropriate various parts of black culture into their music and fashion/aesthetics with no problem
Oh or better yet fetishize Black people. I knew a Korean guy who would only try to exclusively date Black women because he was into "hip hop culture." Or how clubs and bars in hot places would purposefully seat Back people near the entrance as if they're marketing them to people passing by as a "hip place."
Most ppl who have fetishes of other races/ethnicities are usually racist towards said ethnic/racial group. Idk why but a lot of YT ppl with Asian fetishes think of them as only sexual objects. Pretty creepy!
That's generalizing bc there are many who appreciate and are trying to bridge and bring awareness to other Koreans. You are no different from some of the ignorant Koreans everyone is talking about.

Hello! I'm the girl in the thumbnail. The one who's hair got touched by the 아줌마. I appreciate you bringing awareness to what goes on in Korea towards foreigners. It's much needed and I'm glad you understand that it's not right. However, I do not appreciate you all using my video without my permission. I wasn't contacted about it being used in this video at all. This is wrong to use my content and any other BIPOC videos for your content without tagging and notifying them. You are reaping the benefit and views from our videos. This can come off as performative especially since I wasn't informed. The only reason I found out about this video is because my friend recognized me from the thumbnail. Next time ask for my permission first especially since I still currently live in Korea and doxing can very easily happen to us. Thank you for understanding. ☺️ [Edit]: I reached out to them and they responded and was apologetic. After speaking with me they mentioned us in the show more section. Thank you for listening and respecting my wishes.. 🥰
@@mw4577 same. I'm tired of that same excuse of "having pale skin means you're wealthy and dark skin means you're dirty and in the fields". They use this excuse to justify their racism and we keep enabling it. This is 2022 and they have access to the same internet everyone else does. It's really getting old FAST
4:27 the girl on the left is showing so much compassion. At least there are some respectful and remorseful people in this world. I'm glad that she understood how that woman felt. God bless her!
3:14 that reason seems kind of BS. If that's the case then they should just take pictures of foreigner's ID. If I was at a club I'd rather them take a picture of my ID than not let me in at all. It's just straight up racism. There isn't really an excuse for it.
The getting denied at a club thing is something that happens fairly often in Korea outside of Seoul (and sometimes in Seoul too). I remember that my white friend, my Hmong friend who can pass as Korean, and myself (mixed - white/black) would sometimes go to clubs in which the Hmong friend would be told that he can go but us other two were told we couldn't. Let me remind you that all of us are foreigners. For Rua, I respect what he's saying but it doesn't really make any sense. We are ID'd when we go to clubs. We have ARCs with ID numbers recognized by the Korean government. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it is any different.
@@cornheadahh I'm going to assume you are male for this since I can only speak from that perspective. If you are going to any of the big clubbing areas then it isn't common to be denied. Itaewon is almost all foreigners so obv you won't get denied there. Gangnam probably won't deny you as long as you are dressed well. Hongdae is a university area so if you are over 30 or look over 30 they may deny you. Sinchon is similar to Hongdae.
I (mixed black/white american) once went out with two friends (korean-american and white american) in Busan. They literally let my Korean-American friend in and my white friend in AFTER checking their ARC (foreigner ID cards) which said UNITED STATES in the middle in all-caps. Then they stopped me and told me no foreigners. Like... you literally just let 2 other Americans in.. one who is visibly foreign... I was so angry and they were like "it's because you can't speak Korean" and I explained to them in Korean that I can speak Korean and the 2 girls they'd just let in cannot speak Korean at all. They had nothing else to say, just held their hands up in an X and let the people behind me in. It's been 3 years since that happened and I'm still not over it.
From what I’ve seen/heard they do this bc in the past a lot of foreigners have been there and caused some kind of conflict/fights so they think it would be safer if they didn’t let foreigners in the club BUT this is just what I’ve heard, I disagree with what they have done/said. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, conflict can happen regardless of who you are (sorry for my English, it’s not my first language)
I went with a friend of mine (who just happens to speak Korean) to a nail salon. From the first this woman started making rude comments, because I am large chested she was saying " wonder what her sugar daddy paid for those" and " She is going to tip forward". The other workers (male and female)were laughing and and agreeing, until my friend told them in Korean they were getting written up in the worst places to go in her magazine article. Karma. I was so hurt, because I find Korean people to be wonderful and so very kind and hospitable. ❤
So? What are you gonna do, cry about it? Remember it’s you who decided to visit their country and embrace their culture. If their culture is racist towards black people it is as it is. It’s a well known fact that Koreans don’t treat foreigners equally. Don’t visit if you don’t like it. Just don’t try to change their views and make them look as the bad racist guys. This is not America, you won’t get special care.
@@Leslie_-xm2vq “sO whAT aRE yOu gOnNA dO cRy aBOuT iT” is dumb af to me. Their culture isn’t racist to black people. So the statement of “it is what it is” because racism isn’t a part of their culture. It’s a part of general human behavior. Many Koreans aren’t even racist. I’m pointing out the statement of that ONE person and goes trying to justify it with more racism. And here you are coming up with this who “what are you gonna do, cry about it?” when I’m talking about ONE person. And who says I’m gonna visit? Where did you pull that out of Leslie? Your ass? I’m Asian, it doesn’t affect me if I visit. They’re not even going to look at me. And who says in the USA people get special care? No one here gets special care Leslie, we have our own racist issues.
@@Leslie_-xm2vq if their culture involves infringing on other people's rights then it deserves to be shamed, banned, and looked down upon, but no, ya'll will call that asian hate, plus this isn't even their actual culture, stop trying to make them seem bad asking for equality and to be treated EQUALLY and to be able to access the same opportunities as someone else is not us getting special treatment, they should know how it feels to be oppressed bcs of their race and ethnicity but it seems like most of them forget about what happened with the Japanese they steal and use OUR culture and say our slurs all the time, yet they don't allow us to participate in interacting with their culture? now if it was the other way around ya'll would have a riot and demonize the black community
@@-------------------------oo no one stealing your culture. it's 2022 humans have existed for ages. culture was always shared and built upon one another. a race can have it's characterics but no own shit. yea y'all rapped and shit don't mean y'all own kpop now tf grow up. and stop turning everything into slurs maybe. the whole world ain't America. keep your slurs to your Americans
The ideology of thinking foreigners will automatically be more rowdy and disruptive than your own native race so you charge them extra just for being a foreigner is still racist thinking. They're being judged by their race which is something they cannot control. Why should someone have to pay an extra $600 to get into a place where they're obviously not wanted? Personally i feel like if these places continue the way they are it will definitely take a toll on tourism in Korea in the long run. I mean how difficult is it to create a wristband system where everyone has a unique barcode and they scan it when they enter the event/restaurant/club? Each wristband would be logged onto the system along with their ID or foreign passport. Basic Administration skills will be able to search up a person on that system in no time.

The guy making excuses for the businesses, is just NOT it! Like you probably don't mean harm but if people keep thinking like you, things will never change. Y'all need to accept the fact that there's always gonna be people interested in going into your country, and as long as they're not harming it, you should be thankful. There's ABSOLUTELY no reason as to why anyone would need to get charged more. If we did that in America, our business would be completely shut down because it is discriminatory!!!!
The way he was defending their racism at the club. That’s actually not it. Foreigners get punished more severely by their police. They always take the Koreans side. It’s plain and simply discrimination.
Fortunately for the younger generations, these beautiful people are the spirit of change you see in most of Koreans today. I’m glad Korea is progressing to a more understanding society. I’m half Korea and when living in Korea also experienced some racism but very little. I’m also half white. My brother and sister and my best friend are half black and experienced a lot of racism . But it has changed a ton since we lived there in the late 90’s - mid 2000’s
@@ponalvsiki2254 What type of take is this? Racism is bad for EVERYONE. I'm sorry you've experienced that in Germany, but to say that so and so has the right to be racist is just pure ignorance. We're all people at the end of the day, and Race/Ethnicity/skin color is something no one should be attacked for.
I'm 13, black and I live in Korea. People are rude to me over something I can't change. It has been going on since I was 8, when we moved here from the United States. I'm not even confident to go outside anymore. A word of advice; we're people too. Please be mindful that you're not the only people in this world, and you need to be open-minded sometimes, for people to like you back. Put yourself in their shoes, and think about how you would feel. Please keep this in mind.
dude listen to me. you don't know the world. i am south korean who studying in california for more than 3 years for my experience there are plenty black people committing a crime, being racist toward to asians. i had worst experience in U.S group of black guy trying to took my wallet and phone. if i resist. they will shoot me with a firearms i swear korea is way more safe kid
I remember interviewing for a school in Korea and the interviewer said that my skin color might scare the children and how would I handle that. Thank goodness I didn't get that job. Teach your children
I'm soooo glad you guys did this video! I'm a black woman currently living in Korea and I have personally experienced a lot of this. Especially the hair touching. I knew it was not OK for my students to do it but they are so young and fascinated by me that I didn't have the heart to tell them not to touch me, but it is super uncomfortable and frustrating when grown women do it on the bus, in stores, when I'm walking down the street. I get they are fascinated and curious about me as well but they are old enough to understand boundaries and asking someone permission to touch them. I completely understood what the girl said about people touching her hair. You do feel like an animal in a petting zoo and it's a very difficult situation to be in when you don't want to come off as disrespectful if you do tell them to NOT touch you.
@@YumFit1 No one in their right mind would support that. You are trying to stir up division by randomly and maliciously bringing up a case where a Black person attacked an Asian person when the topic is about Anti-Black racism perpetuated by Asians. -First of all it is a method of undermining Anti-Black racism by implying that we can't be victims of racism because of those that are harming Asian people and being discriminatory towards them. -Second you are equivalating Anti-Asian racism to Anti-Black racism when the dynamics are different and the history. Bring that up when it is actually relevant to the topic and keep your nonsense to yourself
Yes, as a black woman we hate when people touch our hair. We get the curiosity, but it’s disrespectful. We don’t know you and we aren’t some zoo animal. She was honestly being nice by not saying anything because she could have smacked her hand away hard enough to hurt her or could have yelled at her.
As an American I spent a year up near Munsan and it was a crazy experience when you walk down the street and people stare at you. Most of the time people were nice and I understood as many of them just didn''t see Americans in person a lot. Kids were great as they always had a smile. There were times though that you would try to go into a store or restaurant and you would basically be pushed out the door with someone telling you to go because they don't speak english (in english) and just didn't want to deal with an American, and some clubs/bars would straight up not allow foreigners in at all. I have to say that Korean men particularly would refuse to talk to you alot, even those working in train stations selling tickets, etc. We always had to ask Korean women for help if we needed simple things like buying a train ticket, getting coffee, etc. They usually giggled at us for awhile first, so that would be why we would ask them for help. That being said Korean women were absolutely amazing. They would help us no matter what even if they spoke absolutely no English. I still adore Korean women today because of the experiences I had with them just helping me with simple things us dumb foreigners had to figure out over there. BTW, I loved the year I spent in South Korea.
Someone said Korea is an economically developed country with an 18th century social mindset and it shows. They want you to spend money on their exports, but don't want to integrate with you. I read some reviews on trip advisor and my goodness.....the Korean wave will surely die down as people continue to share their negative experiences. It's only a matter of time.
this I agree. although I don't think it will have that much effect on the Korean wave, unless there's going to be a lot of big controversies about artists being racists to a point that even the diehard and delusional fans have to call out their favorite artist.
korea 50 years ago was dirt and farmland. it's hilarious to call a nation ''racist'' because they take pride in their culture, heritage and history. ''we don't want our country rxped into submission like europe by the 3rd world''. As a european myself, i utterly agree. NEVER import the 3rd world.
I wish there were some clips of Korean racism towards South Asian people. I have been to Korea myself and I don't even notice if someone doesn't take a seat next to me in subways or bus. But sometimes it's too evident. So, I am from India and works in Samsung RnD. Me along with some senior team members went to Korea for 3 months for a project in Suwon DSK center. Usually people were very nice inside and outside office but sometimes, it is difficult to communicate with people outside office. Mostly, people in office understands English enough. Once, we were traveling in bus on a weekend to visit some places. In Korea, the T-money cards can be used to pay for bus or metro fares. But once, one of our team-mate's bus card mistakenly couldn't get swiped properly because of the rush and she moved ahead thinking it as done. The bus driver rudely called her and said something in Korean. We couldn't follow and he kept behaving rudely and it appeared like he is telling us to get off. Some nice guy told us to re-swipe the card. She did and it got swiped properly. But his behavior was like he was judging us as poor people. It was a bad experience. Also, I got once asked "Do you have elephants or snakes in your home?". It was so funny for me lol. I request Koreans or any other netizens to please destroy stereotypes you have for Indians or any other south asians. We all are living happily and we should respect each other culture, however it is.
Honestly, I don't often see videos of people recording blatant racism against South Asians, but it would probably be easier to show it through commercials and what not that promote lighter skin wouldn't it? Ofc coloring isn't the only problem, but they could definitely touch on that
The excuse that the country was once homogeneous and unified culturally is beginning to be too old of an excuse. In the days of Internet and social media, things have become clearer. It’s easy to learn about other cultures, people, continents. Plus, we are all smart enough to know better than to develop prejudices about cultures/races from watching movies and media. I mean, if you know it’s acting, then you know it’s fictional and doesn’t apply to the millions of people that look like those actors in the movie. Humans living in this era have to be smarter than that by now, right!???!
@@Hani-yj9yn that people should be smart enough by now to know not to get their prejudices from media. Even if for example the only black person you’ve ever seen was on tv, and say it was a gangster movie, I’d expect that in this day and age people are not silly enough to really think that black people are dangerous gangsters 😂 it’s acting, it’s fictional. People are smart enough to know that by now right? In 2022? So Koreans or anyone else on earth shouldn’t STILL be treating others in discriminatory ways based off of… some lame stereotypes

In regards to the Siya tik toker what she faced was xenophobia NOT racism…. she was discriminated against because she was a foreigner NOT because of her skin color or race. There’s a huge difference!!! I’ve watched videos of black ppl in Korea who actually experienced racism in clubs due to them being black. There’s a big difference !
I'm glad that this video was made so that Koreans can understand how racism and xenophobia affects foreigners in Korea. Next time do a video that goes a bit deeper about racism in Korea. Maybe bring in someone who is half korean and half black,white, or hispanic who was born in Korea to explain the racism towards them in their own country. There is no excuse for racism. Treat people how you would want to be treated!
Yea it’s good for awareness but what good is awareness going to do? There are many people who are aware about this yet don’t do anything about it for x reason. These types of videos can be made over and over again but as long as nothing is done about these issues in Korea then it’s all just for entertainment and I guess educational purposes.

I’m Somali my country is homogenous as well and we share not only share similar values but we are also very conservative so these things made me angry because it’s not an excuse to treat people that way and the people in this video justified some off the abuse it’s really disgusting and I hope they learn and if you touche me best believe you will get treated like an animal as well
I appreciate Chacha highlighting the importance of getting to know other cultures because ppl often perform racists/discriminatory acts b/c of their ignorance. I also liked that the guys pointed out that all women are affected by ignorant men wanting “exotic” women.
In the Philippines, some South Koreans set up businesses (usually restos, cafes, etc) here in my country, but they discriminate against us, Filipinos, entering their establishment. How sick is that?
In Brazil too! Koreans usually open restos and marts that only Koreans can go in, "no foreigners" yet they are the foreigners in my damn country lol. Make it make sense
As chinese-korean, I feel like there is always a small sense of Anti-Chinese sentiment in South Korea, especially more so now due to the Beijing Olympics and Coronavirus, it would be nice to have some opinions about this from natives on a more open scale :)
I feel you i live in Western New York State i’ve concluded that the common problem is politics but people are starting to understand that and it’s going to promote change for the better i believe hang in there , it’s taken me a while but if we all settle down and think about each other’s life and culture for just a little while and calm down it’s a person that can think for themselves that is truly a free person
I feel like… may be people in other country also do, but we tend to believe things through media certainly. and currently because 70% of political views and 30% of historical views, we do have anti Chinese sentiment. Also i don’t know where did the things that like Chinese r rude and not clean, I feel like we just naturally have that kinda offensive thoughts to Chinese by older generation who were closer to the history about Korean war
Since I moved to America for studying abroad, my view of people in various culture such as China Japan changed. So I don’t like people who being toxic to Chinese or Japanese bc they r Chinese or Japanese. I saw so many comments on Korean broadcast youtube channel that “Chinese did Chinese” like if I say something that “why yall hate them without logical reasons” then they gonna be like “r u Chinese Korean living in Korea? fk off u Chinese” like wtf😞😔

I love the idea of the video but there are a few things I would like to point out. Some of the videos you used didn't fall under racism instead fell under xenophobia and sexism. These are their right section Xenophobia - 2:37/8:01 , 1:22/8:01 Sexism - 5:06/8:01 , 5:17/8:01 , 5:38/8:01 Racism - 3:35/8:01 , 4:11/8:01 More explanation on what each one means Xenophobia - dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries. Sexism - Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it primarily affects women and girls. It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another Racism - is a prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people based on their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. also, discrimination against a person because of the way they look, is NOT AT ALL okay, there's ABOUSTLY no such thing as "both views". Racism is racism there's no in-between.
As a foreigner who has been living in Korea for 6 years, I've had quite a few blantant/awful racist experiences. However, they have been very rare and most occurred my first 2 years in Korea. Also, ALL my racist experiences have been by aujussis. And I guarantee most foreigners would probably say the same or that the person was elderly. Unfortunately the ppl who need to see these videos won't be the one watching them.
Are you white? because the conversation is entirely different in that case. white foreigners, or at least white passing, or some other Asian foreigners, do not face the same level or frequency of racist experiences. My POC friends living here are frequently denied entry to places, and increasingly so are being physically assaulted due to their race. and no, it's not just by the elderly, it's young folk who know it's wrong but know the korean law will side with them. just because it doesn't happen to us personally, doesn't mean it doesn't happen and I don't think it's fair to try and negate every foreigner's experience.
@@charley7756 when did this become a competition of having the most racist experiences based on one's race living in Korea? First off, u can't assume every POC has more racist experiences than someone who isn't. Depending on how long u have lived here and where u live in Korea, matters. Please don't act like everyone's experiences don't matter. And did I say or imply my experience to all foreigners? No, I didn't. So please stop trying to turn my comment into a competition of who has more racist experiences. That's not what this is about.
@@rockinchik06 quite literally, by definition, you cannot be racist to white people. so actually, I can assume. I'm not turning it into a competition, however you made a sweeping statement about how you "guarantee" these experiences are limited almost entirely to the elderly and made a point about how these experiences are rare for you. that is not a reality for a lot of foreigners here, and that's my point.
I hated the guy in the grey sweatshirt, he kept trying to defend it AND he twisted it and started mentioning how people are being racist to Koreans, while that is true the video is about racism to foreigners so idk why he was bringing that up
Koreans are notorious for flipping everything around on everyone that calls attention to their racist behaviour. It would not surprise me the grey shirt guy has either stalked or sexually assaulted women without legal consequence because he used cool words to talk his way out of trouble. He represents the majority attitude in Korea.
It did seem like a bit of a deflection but he was trying to mention the discrimination towards korean women by koreans, the other guy said in other countries but grey hoodie said also in Korea right after
I would just like to say that this was an opportunity to focus on experiences outside of your specific reality. Trying to compare it to discrimination that you as a Korean living in Korea experience kind of invalidates the experiences that foreigners (especially BIPOC) experience in mostly homogenous Asian countries. I understand the need to sympathize and empathize, and try to try fit it into your view of life but it does not apply to pointing out racism you've never experienced. I feel that y'all are trying to come from a place of compassion and understanding, but please try to be objective and not try to rationalize foreigners' experiences with your own examples as a native.
I like how these guys are acting as if this is the first time they're seeing racism in korea like they were completely unware of it before this video and like they are any different.
When I lived in Korea for a bit, I got warned by my friends that most ahjussi's will see all white women as Russian prostitutes or just prostitutes. I nearly didn't believe it until it actually happened to me on my very last night in Korea as I was riding the last subway to the airport. A very drunk ahjussi sat beside me (in a basically empty car with only a young couple there), put his arm around my shoulders and told me in very broken english "I pay". It took about ten minutes of me saying "no" in both english and Korean for him to leave and finally get off at the stop before mine. The most uncomfortable I'd felt my whole trip.
When I was in Korea I was kicked out of a restaurant while attempting to translate the menu. It was a Chinese restaurant, but the menu was only in Korean. If the menu had also been in Chinese, I could have easily ordered something. I had moved from living in China for five years to living in Korea.The restaurant was in the neighborhood across from Kyobo Tower in Gangnam. It’s in the area where the Standard Chartered Bank and Burger King face Kyobo Tower. I also experienced ageism and sizism. I was in my mid 30’s and there were clubs in Hongdae and Gangnam my younger friends could go to, but they would not let me in for being too old. I also received a lot of “advice” on how to lose weight because I’m heavier than most Koreans. Also, “riding the white horse” isn’t the only thing I’ve heard of. I was warned that some Korean guys want to know what it’s like to have sex with a “fat” girl. Sadly, I was not “fat” in the area of America I lived in. As a foreigner going to Korea, you have hopes to find a place for yourself in society. I’d had that in China, but I wanted to experience living in Korea too, so I moved countries. While I came away from Korea with some good friends, primarily expats like me, living in Korea was one of the most depressing times of my life. It’s very easy to feel like a non-person in Korea. In China, if I bumped someone and apologized in Mandarin, I would would receive a reply back in some way, even if it was a wave of the hand to show it was okay. In Korea if I bumped someone and apologized in Korean, I was never acknowledged, not once. It was like I wasn’t there. It makes you feel very small as a person. It made learning Korean harder for me because it started to feel like what was the point when I was so often made to feel like I could never fit into Korean society. During my second year, I suffered a knee injury at my school and my doctor put me on two weeks bed rest. My school fired me for it. I didn’t see any point in staying in Korea after that even though my recruiter said he could find me another job. The last thing I wanted was to attempt starting over in a new school (which might treat me as badly as this one had) while on crutches, so I went back to the USA feeling very broken by my experience in Korea. I had felt successful in China, so feeling like a failure in Korea was not something I had expected and it took a long time for me to heal from it.
I'm so sorry hun. Its disgusting that you were treated this was and you didn't deserve any of that. Remember its not you thats the issue its their xenophobic, racist and ignorant culture that stems from hate. Heartbreaking really because I to love Korea but hearing foreigner women being treated like trash or experiments is so sickening and I hope they change their ways someday.
I can relate to the girl who got stopped entering the bar. I'm a Filipina but I have always been mistaken as Korean, Chinese or Japanese because of how I look. Before the start of pandemic lockdown back in 2020, people started to panic buying and of course my family was one of those. Remember this was pre-pandemic and wearing mask wasn't mandated yet. My dad and I went to the supermarket and as we were lining up to check out the store security guard approached us and started to ask many things to my dad while staring distinctively towards me. Then he dropped the so annoying question I usually get he asked my dad if I "Is she Chinese?" get this I was telling my dad I need to get something and I'll be real quick, take note, I was talking in "Tagalog" the entire time before the guard ask my dad if I was some kind of a foreigner. My father was a big joker so he told a lie but I immediately said no I am a Filipino. If I wasn't fast enough to tell the truth he was about to escort us to leave because I could tell by his expression and gesture. Once I said it the guard felt so relieved and confessed someone complained there was a CHINESE inside the store. I don't want to pretend it didn't bother me because it does. I get it, I don't want to go any further than that but how can we put some other lives in danger or getting humiliated just because of your prejudice against other race?
Korea is extremely racist and xenophobic. I got the vibe that they feel that racism cases are the exception, and it is not. I hope this generation can change things.
Not extremely but definitely to some degree. I'm black (mixed) and I never had a problem in Korea so far. Everyone was super kind. Not like in Germany where I faced the most extreme racism ever...
Racism definitely exists in Korea, but No one beat you up in the street or spit on you or verbally abuses you or kill you no matter what your skin color is. Racism in Europe, UK, and US comes from the pure hatred. Racism in South Korea is just a child's play compared to that. You might want to check the racism against Tibet, Uyghur in China. That is the extreme all right. In Japan, there has been the systematic and societal racism against Koreans born in Japan. That is the Extreme one all right.
@@호롤롤로-o1y it’s still a serious issue and some of them are still extremely racist. Just because ppl aren’t being killed doesn’t make it any less of a problem
The what about-ism is off the charts in Rua lol, I talked to so many Koreans like that when I lived there. Most people were willing to listen and try to understand but there were also often people like him who would say it's somehow my fault, actually, or have I considered racism against Koreans in America etc etc. Like yeah of course but we're not trying to discuss that right now. It's frustrating. I hope he can see that he's still quite close-minded even if he doesn't realize it yet.
I feel that the persons who participated in this video use a lot of justifications about the reason of the attitude of korean people front the racism. If the problem is that they are a homogeneous society that is not used to seeing people with different appearance, then their country should inform you about diversity.
Fortunately the few times I visited Korea (I'm half black and Korean) everyone was nice. I remember one time when I was little, a lady at the mall gave my brother and I a teddy bear lol. And people also bought me snacks on my birthday. I remember my first year going, they were very adamant about how much they hated George W Bush 🤣🤣.
@@bhagavad-gitakarma1604 what are you talking about??? ppl are racist to children alllll the time!! they ignore them, give backhanded compliments, or just straight up mean bc of their race. Im a black girl who used to live in the deep south, i experienced racism literally all the time. in the first grade, i was the only non white person & my teacher was racist i was forced to repeat the first grade bc of her. i was 6-7 years old. she was fucking evil.
All you have to do is look at the treatment of Sam Okyere to know that racism is pretty bad in South Korea. Like, he was basically blacklisted from Korean TV because he spoke out about the treatment he got as a black man in South Korea. It's crazy to me that in South Korea the victims are the ones that have less rights. My friend is in South Korea just now and has only been there for 6 months and has a handful of experienced of racism. South Korea definitely has a looooong way to go. The whole "we're not as diverse" argument is getting pretty old particularly with the rise in global popularity of Korean TV Shows, movies, boygroups and girlgroups. I just don't buy that argument anymore, instead of trying to give justification for the racism that foreigners experience on a day occurance in South Korea; try to change it instead.
Koreans don't owe an outsider anything. If you don't feel accepted in a place you where never welcomed then leave. Society doesn't have to bend to you. I don't like blacks period end of story.
Thats soo not true... sam was cancled and blacklisted for harrassing a news caster, who was already happily married , in his instagram and he refused to apologize for it. Thats why he got cancled.. just for the fact check...
I'm African-American and I was always taught to love everyone so I don't see color I embrace everyone the same and I judge a person not by the color of their skin but the merit of their character 🎀 when the young lady made her eyes tighter explaining that that's what the racist people would do to her on Omegle that broke my heart and people are mean and evil for no reason and they don't have to be 💔
I just wished if there is a alternative timeline out there were people live together at peace doesn’t matter what color you’re skin is and where you came from because we are all human.
You have no idea how much I want that to be true. It's painful that things we can't control and don't have any choice in can be the reason for being mistreated. Like I didn't choose to be the race I am, nor my ethnicity, nationality, gender etc. Why does that have to be reason I'm discriminated against. How does me being a poc, white, Asian, african, European etc affect your life so much that you go out of your way to make me miserable, especially when 99% of the time I don'tknow you. I just don't understand how anyone can justify that.
Throughout human history, can you give me a single example of that? Any striving multicultural country? On the contrary, I can give you many examples of functional monocultural socities. Perhaps it's time to start asking why things aren't working out rather than constantly trying to force it.
@@Manic_Panic Are you dumb? We shouldn’t be forcing people to only stay within their race People only knowing their own race and culture, and never bothering to learn about others, is how stereotypes and assumptions form.
@@Manic_Panic I don't know what the point of your comment Is? The person above said they wished we lived where things like race didn't matter and people didn't feel as if another race was inferior to them simply because they are different. Also yes there are are multiple striving multicultural countries America being an obvious choice. Obviously American is far from perfect but there is no country in the world that doesn't have problems. Even those monocultural countries have major issues, and one of them is their ignorance and sometimes hatred towards people who different than them, simply because they haven't been exposed to other cultures. Trying to force it? Change won't happen if you don't do anything. I guess you're ok with racism, but many of us are hurt and hate it because racism is awful and shouldn't happen. Things have changed because people have strived to change things. I am don't understand why you're saying "force it". Also I don't get why your acting like it's rocket science to understand that a monocultural society may do well within itself, they do well because everyone is similar, similar beliefs, similar culture, etc.
@@DanceGF Don't know if you're serious or not. America is so successful that you guys are almost split into 2 nations due to all the hate. What an amazing example you gave me, truly. Monocultural socities do not have the problems the US faces because they have an identity that ties them together even when they have different beliefs. Of course, minor problems will arise as nothing is perfect but nothing anywhere near what the US lives today. You're in your own bubble. It's exactly why I'm not okay with racism that I think we should be asking the real questions here. What you prefer to do instead is grab a broken car and keep pushing it to show others it works! How about maybe asking yourself why it doesn't work?
The time, I've been to South Korea for years and it is extremely traumatic. There are so many misogynists and racist. People always made fun of my skin colour.
My mom came to the US for a better life for my family. We experienced racism here and there, but of that but the beautiful part was having many communities around that make you feel at home. In Korea there isnt many foreign communities, and ignorance is almost as worst as racism. I fell bad for people over there that get treated like animals and have no safe place.
The never having someone next to you (an obvious foreigner) thing on a bus or subway in Korea is real. I’ve been in Korea for five years and about half the time even during rush hours, I won’t have anyone sitting next to me if I get a seat on a bus or metro. There have been times when dozens of people will be standing in the aisle and every other seat is taken except for the one next to me.
우리나라에서 특히 남자들 사이에서 어떤 국가나 다른 국가의 사람을 별명으로 부르는 게(러시아 -> 불곰국, 인도 -> 카레국, 흑인 -> 흑형, 흑누나) 일반화 되어있다 보니까 백마든 흑마든 엘프든 사람을 동물이나 다른 존재로 부르는 걸 그냥 별명으로 부른다고 생각해서 별 거리낌이 없는 것 같음. 동등한 사람으로 부르는게 아니라 동물이나 신비한 존재처럼 표현하는 문화가 존나 이해안됨. 아무리 좋은 의미라고 한 들 특정 인종을 다르게 부르는 것 그것또한 인종차별이라는 걸 제발 알았으면.
I never understand anyone who says " my country is homogeneous " so we don't have other races around. 🤔 but you are aware there are other races and ethnicities that exist. It's called basic human decency. Even if I have never met a Korean doesn't not mean when I see one I'm going to be rude, discriminatory or racist.🙄 That means you were never taught decent human kindness... or you were as long as it was applied to people who look like you. Please please please stop using the word foreigner. People are aware they do not come from the country they are visiting. How about tourist.. sounds more human. Just know being curious and physically touching someone out of curiosity is two different things. It's rude to touch anyone without permission. If you think it's ok, then would it be OK for someone to touch your butt if they are curious to how it feels. I'm sorry but if someone touches any part of my body without asking, they will be getting the Popeyes, KFC double combo #2. I'm from NY and that is a no no. Call my response what you want but that's a violation. look but don't dont touch. Oh I wouldn't mind no one sitting by me on the train. Even if they got up. I'd rather that. NYC subways buses and rails are always crowded so I wouldn't care. I'll have my music in my ears and could care less if you stayed away. This video was very disappointing. A lot of justification. I would like to visit other countries. Korea is one of them. But things like this worries me. If I go it will be for specific reasons with a planned agenda. I'll make sure to do my research and know how to get around and continue learning the language.
There are a lot racism in Korea. Trust me when they hear you speak other languages other than korean or English you will be denied into some places like restaurant or club.
After living in Korea for almost 4 years, I'm always still so surprised at how racism is defended by some Koreans. Especially during Covid, the racism towards foreigners was unreal. Signs explicitly stating "No foreigners allowed", going into a business and being told everything is sold out, but serving the Korean customer behind you with no problem, trying to sell you things at higher prices because you're a foreigner, etc.... The issue is that there are no discrimination laws in place, at all. It is legal to deny jobs, service, etc., based on skin color , size, general appearance, etc... This country is an amazing place to live, and I love it here, but... There is a lot of room for improvement on many social and human rights issues, in my opinion.
why does that guy keep defending racism. like cmon there is no amount of justification you can give. RACISM IS RACISM
exactly
That's why I can't stand these types of videos

Eventually, people will March and do the same thing what they’ve done to the US. Being Asian American, you must be aware how the Asian populations here are also suffering due to the ignorance of people and hating Asians in general. Few days ago, I was at the furniture store and the Korean lady, a customer who was upset at the salesperson and started raising her voice complaining about her order. Next thing you know, the salesperson wasn’t having it. The Korean, threw the receipt aggressively. Then she approached me thinking I’d be able to assist her cause I’m Asian which I did. I was able to calm her down and explain it to her. But, her English is limited. So , I bust my language translation Papago . What I realized, is that most Koreans talks loud and aggressive which will not pan out here in the states specially younger Americans. The weirdest thing about this lady, she kept asking me if I’m Chinese cause my last name is Chinese. I said, my dad is Chinese and mom is Filipino. Ohhhh, no wonder why you’re so pretty . One thing about Asians in general, they relate to each other if they are in foreign land for the most part. Sadly, the ignorance superiority can sometimes overshadow the good in people.

There’s a lot of justification of Korean racism and changing the topic to other countries and the racism experienced by Asians in this video. It’s kinda sad to see “they should get the same treatment/punished” when it was racism against Asians yet when it’s flipped it’s “you have to understand why” and “we are not as diverse so we don’t understand” I know it’s difficult but coming to terms with certain things is better than explaining it away or changing it to what Koreans experience as opposed (or even similar) to foreigners. Otherwise, I guess it’s a start
Exactly what I was thinking, there should never be any justification
Bingo!!!
Say it louder for the ppl in the back. 👏🏽
Yep. Koreans always get the "homogeniety pass", but they get it, when they're on the receiving end of racism/bigotry.
Yeah, as a white person in America, I see that happen a lot too. People will try to explain away things that happened because they'd rather not face the reality. Things can't change if people don't call it like it is.
The one in gray jacket loves his country so much he does not want to share it. He is actually enabling the situations lol
this felt more like “let’s just try to make it seem like we understand where you guys are coming from while also try and tell why your wrong”
@N W He’s not justifying it, he’s explaining why it’s done.
@@user-dv9hn4fm5q Actually he is. That's the exact thing he is doing, and that's why it keeps happening. Because when you "explain" it you are perpetuating and disregarding a serious matter by making it seem ok.
So many countries do this as a way of making themselves look “not so bad” The moment they “understand then justify” is when you’re speaking to a person who doesn’t get it. Also as a traveling American, other countries tend to think of themselves as “not racist” when something BLATANTLY racist is done (looking at YOU Spain & Italy) because 1) this is something that has been ingrained in their culture as They always been like this it just went unchallenged because there isn’t enough POC of said victimization willing to SPEAK UP & actually push for change like America 2) they hold the atrocities of America as comparison. “Sure I will approach you with or yell out some uncomfortable racist mess to you in public but I’m not RACIST!! I’m not burning crosses or shooting you in the street, relax!” It’s very gaslighting.
It’s gross and does nothing but allow their mess to continue.
@@user-dv9hn4fm5q he is still justifying
@@margaridarodrigues4652 No, you aren’t. If you’re taking it like that it’s you’re fault. Explaining the reason why something happens is not disregarding the nature or effect of that thing. Explaining something is not making it seem okay or justifying it.
So this video basically said, "Oh you've experienced racism? Well it's like that everywhere not just in Korea." AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOES OCCUR EVERYWHERE BUT THIS VIDEO WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE RACISM IN KOREA! LET'S TALK ABOUT ITTTTT
Yes, that is the part that gets me when people say racism is everywhere. Yes racism is everywhere but the topic is KOREA.
Yeah. I understand they were trying to relate to the situation by talking about their own experiences with racism from non-Koreans, but it really felt like they were ignoring the actual situations at hand.
There is a lot korean ppl reacting to racism like this but there's none action whatsoever by them. This just for his/her content and doesnt effect anything and doesnt change anything about racism in KOREA.
lolll so true. that's youtube's comments section for ya...
Right i keep on getting this vibe
I love that these guys and gals are open minded, but I wish they would have also touched on Korean racism against Southeast Asians as well. There are still many Koreans who see SEA people as inferior, and as someone who is ethnically Southeast Asian and loves Korean food and culture, it hurts my heart to see.
ahh right, I kinda feel like they're looking down on SE Asians (like me) because we love korea and especially kpop. well I guess more koreans are now civilized and is now more open-minded about different races :)))
💯
in Korea, there are really many problems done by SEA people. for example, about 85% of Thai in Korea are staying illegally!! and, Filipinos...
therefore, many Koreans want to clear all of them, but PC. the idea of racism is really a cause of another racism here. protecting them too much has increased Korean's hatred against them!!
fortunately, SEA people are not who Koreans don't like the worst. if they also feel responsible and contribute to the society, they could be considered positive. Korea already had a congressman who was originally from SEA.
@@danieljune6803 There might be many problems done by SEA but it still doesn’t justify racism.
@@untwuji6819 it does because victims who are suffering from those problems are mostly Koreans. people really better be more realistic to deal with the issue. just saying no-racism cannot solve any. and, there is actually no reason that the idea of racism should be considered very important to Koreans.

@@lullabyybabyy5406 The culture seems to have absorbed crappy philosophies of Buddhism. Those are big on self preservation and appearance.

Then there is the problem of turning vibe into materialism under the guise of aesthetics. Everything and everyone must look pleasing to the eyes. That’s why, “peaceful” Buddhism couldn’t get big like the 3 organized religions. But yes, buddhists who are still left in south asia keep their community isolated from the rest.

I honestly don’t think this is an instance of racism here. Racism is based upon a superiority complex, this isn’t. Not saying it’s a good thing, but it seems more xenophobic than anything else. In Mexico, where I’m from, Americans are often overcharged for many things just because people think they can afford the extra buck. I live in the U.S. now, and every time we have family come up from Mexico, some of them expect us to pay for everything because they assume we can afford it.

the girls sympathized a lot with the people discriminated against and even talked about how media amplified it by treating foreigners as strangers. proud of them for starting an important conversation !

Literally. Women in Korea go through *a lot* ,, it's why feminism and the 4B movement are so big over there.
#1 in U.S , Europe. there are plenty of black(africans) people being racist toward to asians. ((* aggressive, violent, harm, hurting somone, black people are committing a crime in many country. as we know. comparing US, EU. korea is way more safe )) ((blacks are brainwashed by hip hop and gang culture. every black kid act like a tupac and biggie. so way more dangerous than asians ))
#2 Korean are just curious about foregin appearance. not a racism ((*many koreans are never seen a black people hairstyle.
so we kindly approaches to feeling of hair textures. many of them don't know express or speaking english. so they just approaches to you without permission because of language barriers seems rude but nothing personal.))

Honestly as a woman living in korea and heard and saw stories, for women its better to not go to the clubs.. If you knew the amount of sexual harrasment, rape and drugging that happens in the club. Its better to not go. Even korean women avoid it nowadays.

His " explanation" is so racist and he himself don't even realize it. It made me feel so weird hearing it.
I know that Rua meant no harm, but that kind of business thinking is racist/discriminatory. It stems from Korea's cultural background and unfortunately he is a product of the unified cultural teaching practices. In any other western country, charging foreigners extra just to be present is discrimination and is not allowed by law. Korea's business association needs to find a way to fix the "reason" for charging foreigners extra just for existing. Praying for continued growth! 🙏💜
Exactly!
I mean maybe not racist per se, as they do it to all foreigners even if they are of the same race, I’ll say more xenophobic ig. That kind of practice is also in a lot of African countries. Even if u r African urself once they hear you speak and see that you have a western English accent rather than an African one, they will charge you more. And if you are of a different race (usually white) they will definitely charge you, and this is coming from the mindset that since you are from abroad you have more money therefore they take advantage of that. It’s definitely wrong and such a selfish thing to do but it’s what happens and there is no law against it there as well. Just like you said hopefully shi* like this gets better.
@@oyinolubayo7079 You are Nigerian so you must know that they even do it to their own country people. In Nigeria if they hear the school you went to and it's a big private school they'll automatically assume you're rich and charge you extra.
Or they just size you by composure, mode of dressing, diction, temperament and if you sabi pidgin or not.
So I don't think it's based on Xenophobia.
unfortunately there are no anti-discrimination laws in Korea. any business can choose to discriminate against whoever they want to discriminate against and for whatever reason. They don't even need a reason. As far as I know, there are no laws in place to protect anyone from being discriminated against. I've lived here for almost 4 years and this is a conversation that comes up in the expat community a lot.
Discrimination sure, racist not really. In a lot of countries tourists are charged extra for certain services. Even if they're the same race as majority of the citizens in that country.

I actually don’t see both sides. Anyone should be let in to a place even if they are foreigners. Here in the States that behavior is not okay. Everyone is allowed access.
its just an excuse cuz how come in other countries there is no issues like this but in korea
I see what he’s saying, but what he’s saying isn’t right. It’s treating all foreigners as suspicious and the “entrance fee” is the business’ insurance policy in case they cause a disturbance, that’s his explanation. But what’s really happening is the club is corrupt AF and there’s probably all kinds of illegal stuff going on inside anyways 🤷🏻♀️
Also they definitely do similar stuff in the states when it comes to entering clubs, it just depends on how they run their “business”
The US absolutely has a racist problem, especially with Black, Indigenous, and Asian Americans, lets not lie to ourselves now
In the states it's illegal.
The whole “language barrier” thing is bull, especially when it comes to foreigners living in Korea and not just visiting. If a Korean person were to try to enter an establishment in America and were told they couldn’t come in because of the “language barrier,” that would be seen for what it is: blatantly and grossly racist. It’s an assumption made based on their race. I just had a woman come into my customer service job the other day who couldn’t speak fluent English and I still helped her pick what she wanted from the menu and purchase it even though neither could speak the other’s first language fluently. I didn’t make her leave because she couldn’t speak English because that’s basic human decency.

americans and other whites do it all the time, plus distrust for americans specifically in a country that still has their millitary presence, and living generations from the war america inflicted, is comprehensive. However there is no justification for the way they perceive black people
The club thing was completely justifiable. American millitary presence in KR is still imperialist violence, and soldiers get away with treating women horribly at clubs, so, not allowing them in is absolutely understandable. White tears are hypocritical here and that isn't racism
@@UnBesoDeCristal 🤣🤣🤣 on a scale from 9 to 10 how retar.ded are you ? 🤣
As a Korean, I sincerely apologize for the bad experience that you had to go through. I honestly never knew that foreigners in Korea were rejected from entering places just because they were not being able to speak Korean fluently. We definitely need to bring awareness and work on this. I was also humiliated a lot of times in the States because of my broken English. I understand how tough this could be.
I experienced what was probably a mixture of racism and xenophobia in Seoul (I'm Filipino-American) - I was thrown out of a taxi in the rain even though I was speaking in Korean to try and get to my next destination, so I don't think it was a language barrier issue. I think the driver didn't realize I was a foreigner when I got in because I had my hood up, but I was thrown out when he looked at me. This was my first night I arrived, so I was tired from traveling and this encounter didn't feel great, but a young couple nearby stopped to help me grab another taxi, so I appreciated that. Looking back on that experience still stings sometimes, but I overall had a great experience with people in Korea and I want to visit again sometime! Thanks for speaking about this subject!
Edit: I just came back from another trip to Busan and Seoul and had a wonderful visit - I could tell I was a tiny bit hardened by my previous experience (^ that was in 2019) at first, but I felt a difference since my last visit imo and people were so helpful. I easily had a great time. Looking forward to visiting again soon~
Most of the filipinos think of korea as a perfect place because it was romanticize in korean dramas but they didnt know that discrimination and racism there is very rampant. Its more comfortable to live in the US than in Korea, even though we share the same race as the koreans.
@@cahles6679 to be fair, I have also experienced my share of racism in the US, even though I was born and raised here. I do at least feel comfortable in the larger, more diverse cities though. I was in Korea for only 10 days (Seoul and Chuncheon), and that was my only “bad” experience; I encountered many warm, welcoming people otherwise - but I know actually living there could be different. I sense that younger generations may be more open minded too. To compare, I also get the feeling that I would probably be treated differently for being very “Americanized” in the Philippines - so I think forms of prejudice can exist anywhere, but perhaps being personally & collectively kind, vocal, persistent and optimistic about change can hopefully make for a better future. Maybe one day people’s romantic views of the world can come true 😊
Idk why people even move to korea it all because of the aesthetic kdrama and kpop korea is one of the most toxic country and soul is one of the most toxic city in korea...... no wonder suicide rate is high in korea it the asian country with the most suicidal rate
Many korean must be living in pressure and while forcing want to go to korea for aesthetic and kpop many korean dream of getting money and living south korea whether is mean going to America ( that where most korean dream to be) or europe
I think racism against south/south east asians in east asian countries needs to be discussed more. We see a lot of videos on black/white foreigners experiences, to which there's a lot of plain cultural ignorance. For SE Asians I think there is really a more ugly and rooted racism...
I'm sorry as a Korean. We will change.
I will never understand how some people could hate someone that they never , ever met !!!
yeah me too it boggles my mind
It's motivated by different things. It's a way some people copes with their own personal struggles, it needs to blame someone but themselves because it feels bad if they realize that, in some cases you'll see the person's having something going on in their life. Sense of superiority, it self explains.
Humans don't like those they perceive as inferior (a reason why humans as a species they may never respect other species), nor those they perceive as superior, that's why usually very famous people could be targeted even if they don't deserve it.
Humans, adults especially, oversimplified things because it's easier, if someone would have an altercation with a person and they got mad, depending on how it's the person, they'll target the ethnicity of that other person, in other cases, their age or gender, then with resentment, humans can keep grudges for several years and even the whole life, they may think the they're all the same.
It's mainly motivated by human ignorance and stupidity.
Irrational hatred, you can't understand it nor the person who's doing it, but they do.
It's also learned from a society, that's why a kid won't have those views, unless they're getting feeding those, but once they become 12, they may start to learn the prejudices of their society by themselves, around that age I remember how peers could start to use words and discriminate, personally, not even by influence I learned that, always perceived it as something awful, which it is, also unfair that it can affect mostly innocent people.
Yeah
if u live in U.S there are plenty racism and crime. black people crimes are everywhere in .U.S and E.U.
and white americans are enslaving a black to built a U.S don't you ever learn this from your school?
korean are way more safe and kind person comparing those countries .
3:12 It's disappointing he easily justified racism like that 😕 they need to begin having a bigger awareness of this issue and start actively thinking because that's not good enough.
That situation itself was jus discrimination and to be fair what he said sounded logical if it were racism it’d be diff
it doesnt even makes sense. They just assume that foreigners in general will be trouble, so they want ther ID first. Thats fcked up and racist
@@EnigmazGuide It's discrimination based on the color of your skin and where you are from, which by definition is racism.

I think we have to see both side, Like Asian people if something not big enough happen to them they leave it. they don't like official thing,police,court even if it's for their advantage , on the other hand western people has different rules , like they sue people for small things , etc .I think that's is why Club business don't want to take any risk .It's like rather than racism they fear official things thay might have to face even if the foreigners isn't in fault,
I am an African American woman living in Korea and I remember the first time I attempted to go to a club here it was with a Korean American friend and a white friend. All they did was check IDs at the door, nobody really said anything as they entered. The security guard let my Korean-American friend in first since she was in line in front of us and then let my white friend in next and then stopped me and said "no foreigners." All 3 of us who were going out had Foreigner ID cards that say what country you are from, so the security guard would have seen both my friends in front of me also were American (it literally says UNITED STATES in all caps right in the middle....) I explained to them in Korean that they'd just let my two foreign friends in ahead of me, even if my Korean-American friend doesn't look foreign. They were barely listening to what I was saying and said the reason they don't allow foreigners is because of the language barrier. I speak Korean. I was talking to them in Korean. I told them both my friends they had just let in ahead of me could not speak Korean at all, I usually translate for them. I pointed out that they let my white friend in with no questions and they said "white foreigner okay." The only thing they said in English during this whole conversation. I was so upset. Never in my life have I been so upset. Literally just cause I'm black they wouldn't let me in. This was at a very popular club in Busan in 2019. I've been living in Korea since 2018 and have never tried to go clubbing again cause that situation made me so angry. Not all Koreans are racist, aside from that horrific experience everyone I've met has been nothing but kind. But there are systems in place in this country that discriminate against all foreigners, especially anyone with tan or dark skin, and often times everyone just agrees with the reasoning, telling us we should understand their situation and why it is the way it is. How can they say their reason for not letting me in was because of a language barrier when I had spoken nothing but Korean with them the whole time. It was an excuse they didn't even bother to change when it didn't apply to the situation. And based on my friends' experiences, I know that with COVID this whole "no foreigners" thing got worse, especially after there was an outbreak in Itaewon. I live in a city in Incheon that is heavily populated with a variety of foreigners and so luckily I have never faced anything like that since it happened, but I do still worry about it happening again. I love my life in Korea and overall have had a wonderful experience living here, but that moment will be burned into my mind forever as one of the worst memories in my life.
As a Black man born in Germany I can feel that 💯 ....and my grandfather fighted for these people (Korean war)
I 'm so angry!!!
So sorry you went through this experience. It's interesting how you were not let in but I can guarantee that music featuring Black artists were blasting through the speakers of the club. How can you enjoy and use the entertainment of the same people you don't want in your establishment? That's a problem. I sincerely wish you well.

You had to record it,
@@thapreShus1 LITERALLY. Like they will be blasting black music (90% of which will have the n word, and even tho no one in the club can speak English, suddenly they can when the n word comes on) but then deny you entry??? So u hate black ppl and foreigners (that at least don’t look Korean) but u have no problem using their culture. Great
I couldn't even finish watching this video. For one, Ruas comments on why businesses do what they do is exactly what this video is about... that's racist. Just because there is an explanation provided doesn't make it any less racist. Two, it makes me upset at how 'surprised' or 'shocked' that this happens. You have chosen to be carelessly blind. I'm in Korea right now ans the racism is so blatantly obvious how can you not identity it? Only way is if you choose to ignore it. These are not new. Foreigners have said and shared these stories many times.
The excuse that Korea is not a multicultural society is getting old. It doesn't have any other problems adapting to other cultures via the internet but I guess when it's about speaking up fot foreigners they don't understand? Yeah, it's a no for me.
Exactly.
exactly, I understand that the majority of Korea is Korean, but that is absolutely not an excuse to have racism and colorism so normalized.
Exactly💯..and this is the response i see of Koreans, whenever there is video on yt about "Korean reacts to racism in Korea" the excuses they make are ridiculous, i understand they might not hv bad intention but it rubs me off how they excuse it with "cuz Korea is not multicultural country" like😅 rather than giving excuses & justifications, why don't you hold these ppl accountable..Racism is Racism!
Sometimes that's not the case though.. When you were born in a country where no one is educated about racism, not everyone will know what's racist and what's not. I didn't know that other races doing braids is racist, doing blackface is racist, until I learned about them from the internet. And each race will encounter racism from other races as well. For some cases maybe yes, people are really ignorant, they were told that doing a-z are racist but they chose to ignore. But for some other they're just pure uneducated and clueless.
@@justilbanin I heard that in Korea they do learn about U.S slavery history.
As a Korean I got to say that racism in South Korea is more common than you think
There were a lot of excuses being made and personally there is much more severe racism in Korea to cover. Specifically in the media. Like so so so much racism in kpop/k dramas but so many ppl refuse to acknowledge. They just sugar coated racism in Korea in this video and I am not at all surprised 😐
Hi I am not very familiar with too many k-pop or k-dramas, could you give me some examples of racism that you see in the media? (Sorry for bad English lol)
@@n25783 Kdramas often use Black actors to portray violent individuals and criminals. Really sad.
@@kaliyuck I could say names but their fandom would kill me but they should be aware someday
@@rftg1793 I know who you're talking about. Or at least one of them. It disappointed me because I love their music 😔
You’ll never see foreigners getting beat up in Korea but you’ll see it often in America I can tell the only info you know about Korea is the 3 bts videos you watcjed
At this point in time, it’s very difficult for me to give people excuses for racist/prejudice behavior. It’s like that episode of hello counselor (which is honestly problematic in multiple ways) when an African guy came on and talked about what it was like being black in SK. Everybody acted so shocked like they couldn’t comprehend this man dealing with racism in their extremely homogeneous country. He was put together, spoke fluent Korean and was polite, but it still wasn’t enough to get a basic level of respect. People don’t even bother trying to do a little research or step outside their comfortable little bubble where everybody looks like them. It’s ironic for South Korea because of their entertainment industry. They have obvious influences of Black American, African, and Latin American culture in their music but don’t bother taking time to respect it or the people behind it. We all just have to work on being respectful and understanding.
They went on to later call him slurs, by the way. He had to shut his account down because of it and people told him to leave Korea , threatening him and "to pick cotton". If someone knows enough to insult you, they did their research.. they just choose to be hateful. I have talked to many people about it here (I live in Korea) and the sentiment I am often told is that it's not an issue for that person, so it's not something to be concerned about. Other Korean friends have even lost friends for talking about foriegner treatment too much with fellow Koreans.
@Google User I know, it was disgusting to see. And what’s more is that some of those people threatening him may have been some of those sitting in the audience of the show. People can be so horribly two faced.

This is how I feel about America. They dont understand other peoples cultures either and think theirs is the one and only and the best and everyone should follow their culture and if you dont you're a weirdo.
I know this isn't true for all Americans, but the same ignorance on this video is also in America where culture is not respected.
The same thing happened when black Americans were racist against east asians but no one said anything
What Rua says sounds sensible…except I’ve been to Korean-owned clubs *outside* Korea that don’t allow non-Asians inside. There was a famous one in NYC that only allowed light skinned Asians and pretty white women inside. They even discriminated against Korean-Americans, making you prove you’re fluent enough before entering. Saying policies are to “avoid trouble” is just an excuse to hide bigotry.
As a Korean, this kind of prejudice and the naive defense of such prejudice, makes me really upset and embarrassed.
What’s the name of the club?
@@jfprizzy they don’t want to say bc it’s a BS narrative 😭
@@vortexnutwhale no it’s not??? multiple people who have been refused to enter certain clubs were given that explanation as well
@@patternrecon5271 What are you saying exactly?
Avoiding trouble. You know I don’t want to be that guy but like let’s look at statistics and I’m not saying it’s right or okay but I understand
They protest against Asian hatred, but they discriminate against Southeast Asians. They are Korean
Your conclusion at the end, it shows you're failing for it. It's a vicious circles, it creates negativity, so it can drag others into it, which you shouldn't do if you're against any way of discrimination. Yes, there's discrimination against SEA countries as well as for other regions in SK, but that doesn't mean all KRs are that way, saying that, it's just doing what you say you dislike. Usually, only innocent people suffers with that.
Example, a KR woman remembered an incident she found awful, she said one of her friends talked about her BF who was from another region, some of her 2 friends didn't react well to the news, while those same 2 friends praised another one with a European BF. The woman said those who reacted that way they were very ignorant for thinking that way.
Honestly, most people are like this no matter what group they belong too. I mean in the USA Black Lives Matter was a huge, but at the same black people were the most common people to assault Asians.
I don't think you understood what she meant. You failed to see, like countless of others, SEA are Asians too. Asians aren't exclusive to Japan, China and korea.
And with your example you are basically saying koreans are racist amongst their own kind.
@@seinti109 They do the same shit anyways lol I mean Korea probably always and always starts it first.
@@Kbw101-l2kㅈㄲ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
this video is leaving a really sour taste in my mouth because what do you mean you "can see both sides" both sides of what? racism?? like i get you want to defend the image of your country but is it really worth it if you have to defend and rationalise racism?
Yeah this video was kind of triggering for me.
Maybe he used to be racist so understands where they come from but as he got older, now he understands the non racist side because he grew as a person and became less ignorant.
@@drycoochie2146 you.. you do understand how thats worse right?
Open borders for Israel
@@ladieslovecj no its called growth. I used to be racist in the past because of the culture I grew up in where this sort of behavior was normalized. But then when I left, I learned about what was going on and regretted it ever since. I became a better person but I used to be stuck in that bad place because I didn't know any better.
Trust me,I have a black friend and he told me about his experience while on vacation with his wife (mostly when they vacation in Asia, especially China, Korea and Japan)
He and his wife were barred from entering some restaurants for fear of making people around them uncomfortable because they have black skin.
And it's very unreasonable and absurd lol.
Its true..even there korean, want too insulting/racism to brown(skin) people. And it happened..
That’s why i will never travel to any other continent 😪let me stay here in Africa we have so many countries n places for vacations.I’m here in peace ✌️I can’t handle that 🙌
China isn’t a place for black people they already have their culture in place copying ours let them be 😭😭
traveling to some west asian countries is a little better but hey i can’t tell u where to go obvs but middle easterns & afghans tend to be more hospitable especially from more war torn countries. we’ve all had our fair share of colonial mindset brough into our countries & it’s sad honestly.
happened to me and my gf in korea and we're Indians we’re not even black image their behaviour towards a back person. never visiting korea again. They want world to call them westerners or europeans🤡. Colonial mentality
As minorities we know racism, but as humans we need to understand that ignorance is not an excuse. Korea is a gorgeous country, with beautiful culture and amazing people. But hate crimes are on the rise. Racism due to ignorance is not the only problem that Korean society has. I would say that the bullying culture is even more alarming. So many beautiful & talented Koreans are being horribly bullied to commit suicide for being gay or having "happy birthday" nipples on picture...is simply unacceptable. As humans we need to learn to respect others...it is that simple! Back to the subject;
Riddle me this,
1. Why promote tourism if we're gonna be asked if we are Russian prostitute when we go out?
2. Why did a female pimp follow my two sisters and I ??
3. Why promote your country to foreigners ??? To bully and call an elderly woman "the fat one" by airport personnel? Yes!! That's right! They spoke out loud thinking foreigners don't speak the language. But some do!!!
I'm willing to be patient and understanding to this level of ignorance...but part of my family lives in Korea and my beautiful baby niece doesn't need this kind of memories branded in her brain...
We need to do better for the next generation ♥️ it is a must!
i agree a lot really

As a black woman, i can say us in the black community will have plenty of stories where we’ve experienced racism. My earilest experience that i can remember was when i was 6 years old. One memory that now i see how wrong and horrible it was, was that when i was 7 years old, this white boy came up to me and asked if i had dirt on my skin and if i could wash it off. At the time i looked at him like an idiot. But as i got older, i realized how racist that was and knew that he definitely was taught that at home.
thats not racism, thats just a child that didnt know why you were dark and came up with a logical answer on his part.
@@Pyramanager no it still is racist/micro aggressive, just bc it’s a kid doesn’t mean shit
@@Pyramanager you excusing it, is the exact reason why racist like u exist
@@animegirlie7119 they are half right though, it is racism but it is also a kid that tried to come up with a logical answer. It's like if a kid see's a pregnant woman and calls her fat, people would call that fat shaming but it's just a kid being uneducated. We could assume that the kid was taught that at home but that doesn't mean it's a fact. I would also like to know how old the white kid looked.
@@wheresmyjams1 I agree! It’s definitely wrong, but it could definitely be an uneducated kid who didn’t know any better. I remember seeing this video (I forget the channel name) of this tall white guy going into this very small town in a country in Africa and the kids starting running away screaming thinking he was a ghost. The kids quite literally thought he was a ghost, so it was obvious they weren’t intentionally being rude.
4:49 there we go. “We need to understand that our behavior without realizing is racist.” This is unconscious racism that stems from centuries of people being taught that they are above others and/or that this behavior is okay.
wierd thoughts though! if u know what is i wrong and what is right! i would never treat a human being in a way that he/she woulde feel bad! not hard to understand! treat people like u want them to treat u!
That's why I dare to say racism will exist in SKR for a long time, may be to eternity. To change anything even in your daily life you must fist admit there's a problem. How can you fix anything if you deny it's not exist or act as if it's common since there are that problem doing by others/in other places? Racism happens in every country. Thats' right. But how frequently is another thing. This is something they never thought. Besides it shows they don't understand that wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it and right is right even if no one is doing it. This way of thinking reflects their mindset, which of cause shaped by their culture and environment.
that doesn’t exist.
The entering establishment thing, not just clubs, has effected me before. Not just that, I specifically had a taxi driver in Gwacheon THROW my luggage and tell me he wasn't going to take my black a$$ anywhere.. to the other taxi driver that grabbed my luggage and drove me to Anyang, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU 🥰🥰🥰 he apologized for the other guy the entire time and even paid for my KTX ticket to Busan!! He didn't have to do that. But he wouldn't take no for an answer. Bless that man.
Ahh that is so nice. May good karma always find him. This made me shed a little tear. The universe responded to you with love for the injustices you experienced. That was awesome
what makes me laugh is when korean people say don't be racist towards asian people, but instead they are racist towards other asian countries😂😂😂😂😅🤣
😭frr

@@Blink-4_Army-7_ Yes bro.Thats the most dumbest thing I have ever heared only east asians are real asian
korea is full of racist people, would never recommend anyone to go there
As a Korean, I was a bit disappointed in the guy in the gray hoodie. I think he had good intentions but him defending the racist behavior by “providing context” or mentioning there’s racism against Koreans too is part of the problem. Yes, Koreans experience racism too. But the content presented to them was specifically about Koreans being racist to foreigners in Korea.
Yep, that’s the kind of person that would be upset if people kept deflecting about anti Korean racism by saying “yeah but other people experience racism too”. Koreans suffer a lot from racism, but Korean society is not free from racism either.
How is touching someones hair racist? It's rude, How is saying riding a white horse racist? It's crude. Not letting foreigners into clubs that's not racist because the intent is not there. They just don't want to deal with legal problems if they arise. Totally acceptable. Now Foreigners treatment of Koreans thats racism.
@@christianrhee4552 1. There are plenty of resources on the internet that you can search up to find iut why in some cases touching a black persons hair is racist. Google it. 2. Riding is talking about s e x and the white horse is the Asian. It’s like saying you got “yellow fever” 3. What other intent is there to not letting foreigners in then to specifically excluding them if clubbing? Bc a foreigner can go in, have fun and break no rules, just as much as a native Korean going in and causing chaos. You’re judging foreigners based on their race and acting as if every foreigner is going to go in and break rules. That’s stereotyping and that’s being racist
Also NO ONE SAID THAT KOREANS DONT SUFFER RACISM FROM FOREIGNERS. To sit there and make the statement you did clearly shows you have no cognitive thinking skills at all
@@bluelover334 no, I'm saying many of the club owners don't want to deal with POSSIBLE problems that could arise. Not saying that foreigners all cause problems. They just don't want to deal with the Police just in case something does happen. There way of dealing with this is to just not let them in. If you can't understand this then you don't understand Korean People. Trust me it has nothing to do with racism. A lot of these clubs have mafia ties according to my friends in Korea.
i find it incredibly odd that koreans have issues with fully accepting foreigners, especially black people, into their society but will appropriate various parts of black culture into their music and fashion/aesthetics with no problem
Oh or better yet fetishize Black people. I knew a Korean guy who would only try to exclusively date Black women because he was into "hip hop culture." Or how clubs and bars in hot places would purposefully seat Back people near the entrance as if they're marketing them to people passing by as a "hip place."
Most ppl who have fetishes of other races/ethnicities are usually racist towards said ethnic/racial group. Idk why but a lot of YT ppl with Asian fetishes think of them as only sexual objects. Pretty creepy!
That's generalizing bc there are many who appreciate and are trying to bridge and bring awareness to other Koreans. You are no different from some of the ignorant Koreans everyone is talking about.

4:27 the girl on the left is showing so much compassion. At least there are some respectful and remorseful people in this world. I'm glad that she understood how that woman felt. God bless her!
I don't think Rua means to be racist, but his reasoning behind being asked to pay for a table to get into a club is actually very racist.
He may be racist I think so. Or have racist tendencies.
He knew wtf he was doing
its xenophobic- not racist. PLEASE USE RIGHT TERMS
Stop making excuses for him. People only do that for Asians. They think they are “naive” to things when they are not.
3:14 that reason seems kind of BS. If that's the case then they should just take pictures of foreigner's ID. If I was at a club I'd rather them take a picture of my ID than not let me in at all. It's just straight up racism. There isn't really an excuse for it.
It honestly sounded like an excuse to charge (steal) an extra $600 (700,000 KRW)
Yeah I rolled my eyes as he was talking it’s a excuse they already told her no bc she’s different and then made her pay extra.
I see your point, but NEVER have anyone take pictures of your id. If they ask for it just turn around and leave
@@franknstein5376 right cause you don’t know what their intentions are or what they’re gonna use that picture of your ID for.
@@franknstein5376 Yeah true. I'm sure there are tons of clubs that will let in foreigners so it's better to just take your business elsewhere.
The getting denied at a club thing is something that happens fairly often in Korea outside of Seoul (and sometimes in Seoul too). I remember that my white friend, my Hmong friend who can pass as Korean, and myself (mixed - white/black) would sometimes go to clubs in which the Hmong friend would be told that he can go but us other two were told we couldn't. Let me remind you that all of us are foreigners.
For Rua, I respect what he's saying but it doesn't really make any sense. We are ID'd when we go to clubs. We have ARCs with ID numbers recognized by the Korean government. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it is any different.
How common is it in Seoul to get denied at a club? I want to visit once the pandemic is over. (I'm white btw if that matters)
@@cornheadahh I'm going to assume you are male for this since I can only speak from that perspective. If you are going to any of the big clubbing areas then it isn't common to be denied. Itaewon is almost all foreigners so obv you won't get denied there. Gangnam probably won't deny you as long as you are dressed well. Hongdae is a university area so if you are over 30 or look over 30 they may deny you. Sinchon is similar to Hongdae.
Yeah I recently saw a video on most famous Indian in Korea. He said he was denied entry in club altho he has his Id and everything.
I (mixed black/white american) once went out with two friends (korean-american and white american) in Busan. They literally let my Korean-American friend in and my white friend in AFTER checking their ARC (foreigner ID cards) which said UNITED STATES in the middle in all-caps. Then they stopped me and told me no foreigners. Like... you literally just let 2 other Americans in.. one who is visibly foreign... I was so angry and they were like "it's because you can't speak Korean" and I explained to them in Korean that I can speak Korean and the 2 girls they'd just let in cannot speak Korean at all. They had nothing else to say, just held their hands up in an X and let the people behind me in. It's been 3 years since that happened and I'm still not over it.
From what I’ve seen/heard they do this bc in the past a lot of foreigners have been there and caused some kind of conflict/fights so they think it would be safer if they didn’t let foreigners in the club BUT this is just what I’ve heard, I disagree with what they have done/said. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, conflict can happen regardless of who you are (sorry for my English, it’s not my first language)
I went with a friend of mine (who just happens to speak Korean) to a nail salon. From the first this woman started making rude comments, because I am large chested she was saying " wonder what her sugar daddy paid for those" and " She is going to tip forward". The other workers (male and female)were laughing and and agreeing, until my friend told them in Korean they were getting written up in the worst places to go in her magazine article. Karma. I was so hurt, because I find Korean people to be wonderful and so very kind and hospitable. ❤
I hope, they apologized to you
That’s horrible! I hope you feel better 💐

Rua is really defending racist actions by trying to justify it with even more racist reasons. Racism is racism my man.
So? What are you gonna do, cry about it? Remember it’s you who decided to visit their country and embrace their culture. If their culture is racist towards black people it is as it is. It’s a well known fact that Koreans don’t treat foreigners equally. Don’t visit if you don’t like it. Just don’t try to change their views and make them look as the bad racist guys. This is not America, you won’t get special care.
@@Leslie_-xm2vq “sO whAT aRE yOu gOnNA dO cRy aBOuT iT” is dumb af to me.
Their culture isn’t racist to black people. So the statement of “it is what it is” because racism isn’t a part of their culture. It’s a part of general human behavior. Many Koreans aren’t even racist. I’m pointing out the statement of that ONE person and goes trying to justify it with more racism. And here you are coming up with this who “what are you gonna do, cry about it?” when I’m talking about ONE person.
And who says I’m gonna visit? Where did you pull that out of Leslie? Your ass? I’m Asian, it doesn’t affect me if I visit. They’re not even going to look at me. And who says in the USA people get special care? No one here gets special care Leslie, we have our own racist issues.
@@Leslie_-xm2vq if their culture involves infringing on other people's rights then it deserves to be shamed, banned, and looked down upon, but no, ya'll will call that asian hate, plus this isn't even their actual culture, stop trying to make them seem bad
asking for equality and to be treated EQUALLY and to be able to access the same opportunities as someone else is not us getting special treatment, they should know how it feels to be oppressed bcs of their race and ethnicity but it seems like most of them forget about what happened with the Japanese
they steal and use OUR culture and say our slurs all the time, yet they don't allow us to participate in interacting with their culture? now if it was the other way around ya'll would have a riot and demonize the black community
@@-------------------------oo ⏫⏫⏫⏫⏫⏫

The ideology of thinking foreigners will automatically be more rowdy and disruptive than your own native race so you charge them extra just for being a foreigner is still racist thinking. They're being judged by their race which is something they cannot control. Why should someone have to pay an extra $600 to get into a place where they're obviously not wanted? Personally i feel like if these places continue the way they are it will definitely take a toll on tourism in Korea in the long run. I mean how difficult is it to create a wristband system where everyone has a unique barcode and they scan it when they enter the event/restaurant/club? Each wristband would be logged onto the system along with their ID or foreign passport. Basic Administration skills will be able to search up a person on that system in no time.

It felt like the Koreans in this video wanted to explain the racism more more than to actually empathise with what was wrong.
The way he was defending their racism at the club. That’s actually not it. Foreigners get punished more severely by their police. They always take the Koreans side. It’s plain and simply discrimination.
Fortunately for the younger generations, these beautiful people are the spirit of change you see in most of Koreans today. I’m glad Korea is progressing to a more understanding society. I’m half Korea and when living in Korea also experienced some racism but very little. I’m also half white. My brother and sister and my best friend are half black and experienced a lot of racism . But it has changed a ton since we lived there in the late 90’s - mid 2000’s
White people are racist, so asians are not wrong to be racist. I'm asian living in Germany by the way.

We're all people at the end of the day, and Race/Ethnicity/skin color is something no one should be attacked for.
2:55 is a perfect example of how someone can be racist without even realizing they're being racist and having no racist intent.
Yea that's so clue
I'm 13, black and I live in Korea. People are rude to me over something I can't change. It has been going on since I was 8, when we moved here from the United States. I'm not even confident to go outside anymore. A word of advice; we're people too. Please be mindful that you're not the only people in this world, and you need to be open-minded sometimes, for people to like you back. Put yourself in their shoes, and think about how you would feel. Please keep this in mind.
dude listen to me. you don't know the world. i am south korean who studying in california for more than 3 years
for my experience there are plenty black people committing a crime, being racist toward to asians.
i had worst experience in U.S group of black guy trying to took my wallet and phone. if i resist. they will shoot me with a firearms
i swear korea is way more safe kid
@@hyunhokim204korea might be safe but koreans mindset is the ugliest!
I remember interviewing for a school in Korea and the interviewer said that my skin color might scare the children and how would I handle that. Thank goodness I didn't get that job. Teach your children
I'm soooo glad you guys did this video! I'm a black woman currently living in Korea and I have personally experienced a lot of this. Especially the hair touching. I knew it was not OK for my students to do it but they are so young and fascinated by me that I didn't have the heart to tell them not to touch me, but it is super uncomfortable and frustrating when grown women do it on the bus, in stores, when I'm walking down the street. I get they are fascinated and curious about me as well but they are old enough to understand boundaries and asking someone permission to touch them. I completely understood what the girl said about people touching her hair. You do feel like an animal in a petting zoo and it's a very difficult situation to be in when you don't want to come off as disrespectful if you do tell them to NOT touch you.
@@kaylakimmy Do you think it was okay for a black man to kill Christina Yuna Lee?
@@YumFit1 No one in their right mind would support that. You are trying to stir up division by randomly and maliciously bringing up a case where a Black person attacked an Asian person when the topic is about Anti-Black racism perpetuated by Asians.
-First of all it is a method of undermining Anti-Black racism by implying that we can't be victims of racism because of those that are harming Asian people and being discriminatory towards them.
-Second you are equivalating Anti-Asian racism to Anti-Black racism when the dynamics are different and the history. Bring that up when it is actually relevant to the topic and keep your nonsense to yourself
Yes, as a black woman we hate when people touch our hair. We get the curiosity, but it’s disrespectful. We don’t know you and we aren’t some zoo animal. She was honestly being nice by not saying anything because she could have smacked her hand away hard enough to hurt her or could have yelled at her.
As an American I spent a year up near Munsan and it was a crazy experience when you walk down the street and people stare at you. Most of the time people were nice and I understood as many of them just didn''t see Americans in person a lot. Kids were great as they always had a smile. There were times though that you would try to go into a store or restaurant and you would basically be pushed out the door with someone telling you to go because they don't speak english (in english) and just didn't want to deal with an American, and some clubs/bars would straight up not allow foreigners in at all. I have to say that Korean men particularly would refuse to talk to you alot, even those working in train stations selling tickets, etc. We always had to ask Korean women for help if we needed simple things like buying a train ticket, getting coffee, etc. They usually giggled at us for awhile first, so that would be why we would ask them for help. That being said Korean women were absolutely amazing. They would help us no matter what even if they spoke absolutely no English. I still adore Korean women today because of the experiences I had with them just helping me with simple things us dumb foreigners had to figure out over there. BTW, I loved the year I spent in South Korea.
Someone said Korea is an economically developed country with an 18th century social mindset and it shows. They want you to spend money on their exports, but don't want to integrate with you. I read some reviews on trip advisor and my goodness.....the Korean wave will surely die down as people continue to share their negative experiences. It's only a matter of time.
I agree 💯
this I agree. although I don't think it will have that much effect on the Korean wave, unless there's going to be a lot of big controversies about artists being racists to a point that even the diehard and delusional fans have to call out their favorite artist.
korea 50 years ago was dirt and farmland. it's hilarious to call a nation ''racist'' because they take pride in their culture, heritage and history.
''we don't want our country rxped into submission like europe by the 3rd world''.
As a european myself, i utterly agree. NEVER import the 3rd world.
@@joik3308 maybe because hollywood is woke now and the korean media industry is not, maybe that's why you like it? have u thought of it like that
Let it happen please they re too arrogant for my liking.
I wish there were some clips of Korean racism towards South Asian people. I have been to Korea myself and I don't even notice if someone doesn't take a seat next to me in subways or bus. But sometimes it's too evident. So, I am from India and works in Samsung RnD. Me along with some senior team members went to Korea for 3 months for a project in Suwon DSK center. Usually people were very nice inside and outside office but sometimes, it is difficult to communicate with people outside office. Mostly, people in office understands English enough. Once, we were traveling in bus on a weekend to visit some places. In Korea, the T-money cards can be used to pay for bus or metro fares. But once, one of our team-mate's bus card mistakenly couldn't get swiped properly because of the rush and she moved ahead thinking it as done. The bus driver rudely called her and said something in Korean. We couldn't follow and he kept behaving rudely and it appeared like he is telling us to get off. Some nice guy told us to re-swipe the card. She did and it got swiped properly. But his behavior was like he was judging us as poor people. It was a bad experience. Also, I got once asked "Do you have elephants or snakes in your home?". It was so funny for me lol. I request Koreans or any other netizens to please destroy stereotypes you have for Indians or any other south asians. We all are living happily and we should respect each other culture, however it is.
We are not in korea that much so
Honestly, I don't often see videos of people recording blatant racism against South Asians, but it would probably be easier to show it through commercials and what not that promote lighter skin wouldn't it? Ofc coloring isn't the only problem, but they could definitely touch on that
I bet the actual racist people even watch this kind of video or comment. people live in the same place but different world in the head.
The excuse that the country was once homogeneous and unified culturally is beginning to be too old of an excuse. In the days of Internet and social media, things have become clearer. It’s easy to learn about other cultures, people, continents. Plus, we are all smart enough to know better than to develop prejudices about cultures/races from watching movies and media. I mean, if you know it’s acting, then you know it’s fictional and doesn’t apply to the millions of people that look like those actors in the movie. Humans living in this era have to be smarter than that by now, right!???!
what point exactly are you trying to get across with the last two sentences
Loxist subversive media
Open bordets for Israel
@@Hani-yj9yn that people should be smart enough by now to know not to get their prejudices from media. Even if for example the only black person you’ve ever seen was on tv, and say it was a gangster movie, I’d expect that in this day and age people are not silly enough to really think that black people are dangerous gangsters 😂 it’s acting, it’s fictional. People are smart enough to know that by now right? In 2022? So Koreans or anyone else on earth shouldn’t STILL be treating others in discriminatory ways based off of… some lame stereotypes

As chinese-korean, I feel like there is always a small sense of Anti-Chinese sentiment in South Korea, especially more so now due to the Beijing Olympics and Coronavirus, it would be nice to have some opinions about this from natives on a more open scale :)
I feel you i live in Western New York State i’ve concluded that the common problem is politics but people are starting to understand that and it’s going to promote change for the better i believe hang in there , it’s taken me a while but if we all settle down and think about each other’s life and culture for just a little while and calm down it’s a person that can think for themselves that is truly a free person
I feel like… may be people in other country also do, but we tend to believe things through media certainly. and currently because 70% of political views and 30% of historical views, we do have anti Chinese sentiment. Also i don’t know where did the things that like Chinese r rude and not clean, I feel like we just naturally have that kinda offensive thoughts to Chinese by older generation who were closer to the history about Korean war
Since I moved to America for studying abroad, my view of people in various culture such as China Japan changed. So I don’t like people who being toxic to Chinese or Japanese bc they r Chinese or Japanese. I saw so many comments on Korean broadcast youtube channel that “Chinese did Chinese” like if I say something that “why yall hate them without logical reasons” then they gonna be like “r u Chinese Korean living in Korea? fk off u Chinese” like wtf😞😔
There is also anti-korean sentiments in China, it would be interesting to see what the chinese have to say about that.

Racism is racism. No need to defend it or gaslight it. We all just need to acknowledge it to uproot it in a society.
I love the idea of the video but there are a few things I would like to point out. Some of the videos you used didn't fall under racism instead fell under xenophobia and sexism. These are their right section
Xenophobia - 2:37/8:01 , 1:22/8:01
Sexism - 5:06/8:01 , 5:17/8:01 , 5:38/8:01
Racism - 3:35/8:01 , 4:11/8:01
More explanation on what each one means
Xenophobia - dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
Sexism - Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it primarily affects women and girls. It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another
Racism - is a prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people based on their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
also, discrimination against a person because of the way they look, is NOT AT ALL okay, there's ABOUSTLY no such thing as "both views". Racism is racism there's no in-between.
YES THANK YOU!! xenophobia and racism are not the same!
^^^^
Discrimination in different forms. It is what is no matter how you classify it.

As a foreigner who has been living in Korea for 6 years, I've had quite a few blantant/awful racist experiences. However, they have been very rare and most occurred my first 2 years in Korea.
Also, ALL my racist experiences have been by aujussis. And I guarantee most foreigners would probably say the same or that the person was elderly.
Unfortunately the ppl who need to see these videos won't be the one watching them.
True
if theyre all adhjussis then lets normalize not being respectful to racists lol
Are you white? because the conversation is entirely different in that case. white foreigners, or at least white passing, or some other Asian foreigners, do not face the same level or frequency of racist experiences. My POC friends living here are frequently denied entry to places, and increasingly so are being physically assaulted due to their race. and no, it's not just by the elderly, it's young folk who know it's wrong but know the korean law will side with them. just because it doesn't happen to us personally, doesn't mean it doesn't happen and I don't think it's fair to try and negate every foreigner's experience.
@@charley7756 when did this become a competition of having the most racist experiences based on one's race living in Korea? First off, u can't assume every POC has more racist experiences than someone who isn't. Depending on how long u have lived here and where u live in Korea, matters. Please don't act like everyone's experiences don't matter. And did I say or imply my experience to all foreigners? No, I didn't. So please stop trying to turn my comment into a competition of who has more racist experiences. That's not what this is about.
@@rockinchik06 quite literally, by definition, you cannot be racist to white people. so actually, I can assume. I'm not turning it into a competition, however you made a sweeping statement about how you "guarantee" these experiences are limited almost entirely to the elderly and made a point about how these experiences are rare for you. that is not a reality for a lot of foreigners here, and that's my point.
I hated the guy in the grey sweatshirt, he kept trying to defend it AND he twisted it and started mentioning how people are being racist to Koreans, while that is true the video is about racism to foreigners so idk why he was bringing that up
Koreans are notorious for flipping everything around on everyone that calls attention to their racist behaviour. It would not surprise me the grey shirt guy has either stalked or sexually assaulted women without legal consequence because he used cool words to talk his way out of trouble. He represents the majority attitude in Korea.
Koreans are very weird dude
It did seem like a bit of a deflection but he was trying to mention the discrimination towards korean women by koreans, the other guy said in other countries but grey hoodie said also in Korea right after
I feel like this wasn't as deep as it should've been
It never is unfortunately
3:08 idgaf, that is racist. Dont try to justify it
I would just like to say that this was an opportunity to focus on experiences outside of your specific reality. Trying to compare it to discrimination that you as a Korean living in Korea experience kind of invalidates the experiences that foreigners (especially BIPOC) experience in mostly homogenous Asian countries. I understand the need to sympathize and empathize, and try to try fit it into your view of life but it does not apply to pointing out racism you've never experienced. I feel that y'all are trying to come from a place of compassion and understanding, but please try to be objective and not try to rationalize foreigners' experiences with your own examples as a native.
I like how these guys are acting as if this is the first time they're seeing racism in korea like they were completely unware of it before this video and like they are any different.
When I lived in Korea for a bit, I got warned by my friends that most ahjussi's will see all white women as Russian prostitutes or just prostitutes. I nearly didn't believe it until it actually happened to me on my very last night in Korea as I was riding the last subway to the airport. A very drunk ahjussi sat beside me (in a basically empty car with only a young couple there), put his arm around my shoulders and told me in very broken english "I pay". It took about ten minutes of me saying "no" in both english and Korean for him to leave and finally get off at the stop before mine. The most uncomfortable I'd felt my whole trip.
It's so uncomfortable. I would've cry at the spots.
I'm so sorry love
When I was in Korea I was kicked out of a restaurant while attempting to translate the menu. It was a Chinese restaurant, but the menu was only in Korean. If the menu had also been in Chinese, I could have easily ordered something. I had moved from living in China for five years to living in Korea.The restaurant was in the neighborhood across from Kyobo Tower in Gangnam. It’s in the area where the Standard Chartered Bank and Burger King face Kyobo Tower. I also experienced ageism and sizism. I was in my mid 30’s and there were clubs in Hongdae and Gangnam my younger friends could go to, but they would not let me in for being too old. I also received a lot of “advice” on how to lose weight because I’m heavier than most Koreans. Also, “riding the white horse” isn’t the only thing I’ve heard of. I was warned that some Korean guys want to know what it’s like to have sex with a “fat” girl. Sadly, I was not “fat” in the area of America I lived in. As a foreigner going to Korea, you have hopes to find a place for yourself in society. I’d had that in China, but I wanted to experience living in Korea too, so I moved countries. While I came away from Korea with some good friends, primarily expats like me, living in Korea was one of the most depressing times of my life. It’s very easy to feel like a non-person in Korea. In China, if I bumped someone and apologized in Mandarin, I would would receive a reply back in some way, even if it was a wave of the hand to show it was okay. In Korea if I bumped someone and apologized in Korean, I was never acknowledged, not once. It was like I wasn’t there. It makes you feel very small as a person. It made learning Korean harder for me because it started to feel like what was the point when I was so often made to feel like I could never fit into Korean society. During my second year, I suffered a knee injury at my school and my doctor put me on two weeks bed rest. My school fired me for it. I didn’t see any point in staying in Korea after that even though my recruiter said he could find me another job. The last thing I wanted was to attempt starting over in a new school (which might treat me as badly as this one had) while on crutches, so I went back to the USA feeling very broken by my experience in Korea. I had felt successful in China, so feeling like a failure in Korea was not something I had expected and it took a long time for me to heal from it.
@G. Kim I have family in the Netherlands. My grandad was from Middleburg.
I'm so sorry hun. Its disgusting that you were treated this was and you didn't deserve any of that. Remember its not you thats the issue its their xenophobic, racist and ignorant culture that stems from hate. Heartbreaking really because I to love Korea but hearing foreigner women being treated like trash or experiments is so sickening and I hope they change their ways someday.
@@adeleennis2255 Are you a white woman please?
I can relate to the girl who got stopped entering the bar. I'm a Filipina but I have always been mistaken as Korean, Chinese or Japanese because of how I look. Before the start of pandemic lockdown back in 2020, people started to panic buying and of course my family was one of those. Remember this was pre-pandemic and wearing mask wasn't mandated yet. My dad and I went to the supermarket and as we were lining up to check out the store security guard approached us and started to ask many things to my dad while staring distinctively towards me. Then he dropped the so annoying question I usually get he asked my dad if I "Is she Chinese?" get this I was telling my dad I need to get something and I'll be real quick, take note, I was talking in "Tagalog" the entire time before the guard ask my dad if I was some kind of a foreigner. My father was a big joker so he told a lie but I immediately said no I am a Filipino. If I wasn't fast enough to tell the truth he was about to escort us to leave because I could tell by his expression and gesture. Once I said it the guard felt so relieved and confessed someone complained there was a CHINESE inside the store. I don't want to pretend it didn't bother me because it does. I get it, I don't want to go any further than that but how can we put some other lives in danger or getting humiliated just because of your prejudice against other race?
Why is the guy in grey not able to acknowledge and accept that there is racism against non Koreans in South Korea . He seems to be in denial
Korea is extremely racist and xenophobic. I got the vibe that they feel that racism cases are the exception, and it is not. I hope this generation can change things.
Not extremely but definitely to some degree. I'm black (mixed) and I never had a problem in Korea so far. Everyone was super kind. Not like in Germany where I faced the most extreme racism ever...
Racism definitely exists in Korea, but No one beat you up in the street or spit on you or verbally abuses you or kill you no matter what your skin color is.
Racism in Europe, UK, and US comes from the pure hatred.
Racism in South Korea is just a child's play compared to that.
You might want to check the racism against Tibet, Uyghur in China. That is the extreme all right.
In Japan, there has been the systematic and societal racism against Koreans born in Japan. That is the Extreme one all right.
@@nalaa9618 that’s a personal experience for YOU. A lot of black ppl have had much worse, degrading experiences 🤷🏾♀️
but racism in korea isn't violent. in other country, racism against of east asian is very violent.
@@호롤롤로-o1y it’s still a serious issue and some of them are still extremely racist. Just because ppl aren’t being killed doesn’t make it any less of a problem
your videos are always entertaining and so informative, can’t wait to watch this one
The what about-ism is off the charts in Rua lol, I talked to so many Koreans like that when I lived there. Most people were willing to listen and try to understand but there were also often people like him who would say it's somehow my fault, actually, or have I considered racism against Koreans in America etc etc. Like yeah of course but we're not trying to discuss that right now. It's frustrating. I hope he can see that he's still quite close-minded even if he doesn't realize it yet.
not the guy justifying racism. disgusting.
I feel that the persons who participated in this video use a lot of justifications about the reason of the attitude of korean people front the racism. If the problem is that they are a homogeneous society that is not used to seeing people with different appearance, then their country should inform you about diversity.
Fortunately the few times I visited Korea (I'm half black and Korean) everyone was nice. I remember one time when I was little, a lady at the mall gave my brother and I a teddy bear lol. And people also bought me snacks on my birthday. I remember my first year going, they were very adamant about how much they hated George W Bush 🤣🤣.
I mean, No one can bring themselves to be cruel to a child but that was cute.
@@bhagavad-gitakarma1604 what are you talking about??? ppl are racist to children alllll the time!! they ignore them, give backhanded compliments, or just straight up mean bc of their race. Im a black girl who used to live in the deep south, i experienced racism literally all the time. in the first grade, i was the only non white person & my teacher was racist i was forced to repeat the first grade bc of her. i was 6-7 years old. she was fucking evil.
@@8star331 What?! I thought adults would at least have shame to not be like that to children
@@bhagavad-gitakarma1604 nope we live in a world where some people don't have the sense or decency to keep their racist beliefs away from children.
Oh, you mean they treated you like a human being and you want to give them credit for that?🙄
All you have to do is look at the treatment of Sam Okyere to know that racism is pretty bad in South Korea. Like, he was basically blacklisted from Korean TV because he spoke out about the treatment he got as a black man in South Korea. It's crazy to me that in South Korea the victims are the ones that have less rights. My friend is in South Korea just now and has only been there for 6 months and has a handful of experienced of racism. South Korea definitely has a looooong way to go. The whole "we're not as diverse" argument is getting pretty old particularly with the rise in global popularity of Korean TV Shows, movies, boygroups and girlgroups. I just don't buy that argument anymore, instead of trying to give justification for the racism that foreigners experience on a day occurance in South Korea; try to change it instead.
🔥🔥🔥💯
But in Sam's case, it is because one incident has re-examined him for having done eye-tearing
isn’t that the guy who was exposed being racist 😂
Koreans don't owe an outsider anything. If you don't feel accepted in a place you where never welcomed then leave. Society doesn't have to bend to you. I don't like blacks period end of story.
Thats soo not true... sam was cancled and blacklisted for harrassing a news caster, who was already happily married , in his instagram and he refused to apologize for it. Thats why he got cancled.. just for the fact check...
I'm African-American and I was always taught to love everyone so I don't see color I embrace everyone the same and I judge a person not by the color of their skin but the merit of their character 🎀 when the young lady made her eyes tighter explaining that that's what the racist people would do to her on Omegle that broke my heart and people are mean and evil for no reason and they don't have to be 💔
I just wished if there is a alternative timeline out there were people live together at peace doesn’t matter what color you’re skin is and where you came from because we are all human.
You have no idea how much I want that to be true. It's painful that things we can't control and don't have any choice in can be the reason for being mistreated. Like I didn't choose to be the race I am, nor my ethnicity, nationality, gender etc. Why does that have to be reason I'm discriminated against. How does me being a poc, white, Asian, african, European etc affect your life so much that you go out of your way to make me miserable, especially when 99% of the time I don'tknow you. I just don't understand how anyone can justify that.
Throughout human history, can you give me a single example of that? Any striving multicultural country?
On the contrary, I can give you many examples of functional monocultural socities.
Perhaps it's time to start asking why things aren't working out rather than constantly trying to force it.
@@Manic_Panic Are you dumb? We shouldn’t be forcing people to only stay within their race
People only knowing their own race and culture, and never bothering to learn about others, is how stereotypes and assumptions form.
@@Manic_Panic I don't know what the point of your comment Is? The person above said they wished we lived where things like race didn't matter and people didn't feel as if another race was inferior to them simply because they are different. Also yes there are are multiple striving multicultural countries America being an obvious choice. Obviously American is far from perfect but there is no country in the world that doesn't have problems. Even those monocultural countries have major issues, and one of them is their ignorance and sometimes hatred towards people who different than them, simply because they haven't been exposed to other cultures. Trying to force it? Change won't happen if you don't do anything. I guess you're ok with racism, but many of us are hurt and hate it because racism is awful and shouldn't happen. Things have changed because people have strived to change things. I am don't understand why you're saying "force it". Also I don't get why your acting like it's rocket science to understand that a monocultural society may do well within itself, they do well because everyone is similar, similar beliefs, similar culture, etc.
@@DanceGF Don't know if you're serious or not. America is so successful that you guys are almost split into 2 nations due to all the hate. What an amazing example you gave me, truly.
Monocultural socities do not have the problems the US faces because they have an identity that ties them together even when they have different beliefs. Of course, minor problems will arise as nothing is perfect but nothing anywhere near what the US lives today. You're in your own bubble.
It's exactly why I'm not okay with racism that I think we should be asking the real questions here. What you prefer to do instead is grab a broken car and keep pushing it to show others it works! How about maybe asking yourself why it doesn't work?
The time, I've been to South Korea for years and it is extremely traumatic. There are so many misogynists and racist. People always made fun of my skin colour.
I know that racism is everywhere but korea is the most racist country even to other asian countries
If everyone is denying racism in Korea then who is are the racist?
My mom came to the US for a better life for my family. We experienced racism here and there, but of that but the beautiful part was having many communities around that make you feel at home. In Korea there isnt many foreign communities, and ignorance is almost as worst as racism. I fell bad for people over there that get treated like animals and have no safe place.
The never having someone next to you (an obvious foreigner) thing on a bus or subway in Korea is real. I’ve been in Korea for five years and about half the time even during rush hours, I won’t have anyone sitting next to me if I get a seat on a bus or metro. There have been times when dozens of people will be standing in the aisle and every other seat is taken except for the one next to me.
Me too! On the bright side, their prejudice is helping with social distancing. 🤣🤣🤣
@@rowanaround1850 This is true haha. I also have plenty of room to put my bag or extra stuff somewhere.
@G. Kim thank you! It’s appreciated
우리나라에서 특히 남자들 사이에서 어떤 국가나 다른 국가의 사람을 별명으로 부르는 게(러시아 -> 불곰국, 인도 -> 카레국, 흑인 -> 흑형, 흑누나) 일반화 되어있다 보니까 백마든 흑마든 엘프든 사람을 동물이나 다른 존재로 부르는 걸 그냥 별명으로 부른다고 생각해서 별 거리낌이 없는 것 같음. 동등한 사람으로 부르는게 아니라 동물이나 신비한 존재처럼 표현하는 문화가 존나 이해안됨. 아무리 좋은 의미라고 한 들 특정 인종을 다르게 부르는 것 그것또한 인종차별이라는 걸 제발 알았으면.
Racism is normalized there. There are no laws to protect poc in Korea. Yet bts came to America to talk about racism🤣🤣🤣The jokes write themselves.
Frr
korean people are POC, just say foreign POC to clear it up
that part.
미국에 애기 하면 안되는 이유가 뭐있어? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I never understand anyone who says " my country is homogeneous " so we don't have other races around. 🤔 but you are aware there are other races and ethnicities that exist. It's called basic human decency. Even if I have never met a Korean doesn't not mean when I see one I'm going to be rude, discriminatory or racist.🙄 That means you were never taught decent human kindness... or you were as long as it was applied to people who look like you.
Please please please stop using the word foreigner. People are aware they do not come from the country they are visiting. How about tourist.. sounds more human.
Just know being curious and physically touching someone out of curiosity is two different things. It's rude to touch anyone without permission. If you think it's ok, then would it be OK for someone to touch your butt if they are curious to how it feels. I'm sorry but if someone touches any part of my body without asking, they will be getting the Popeyes, KFC double combo #2. I'm from NY and that is a no no. Call my response what you want but that's a violation. look but don't dont touch.
Oh I wouldn't mind no one sitting by me on the train. Even if they got up. I'd rather that. NYC subways buses and rails are always crowded so I wouldn't care. I'll have my music in my ears and could care less if you stayed away. This video was very disappointing. A lot of justification. I would like to visit other countries. Korea is one of them. But things like this worries me. If I go it will be for specific reasons with a planned agenda. I'll make sure to do my research and know how to get around and continue learning the language.
Keep fighting the good fight and helping people to move forward into a future of equality
Thank you OSSC for such a great video !
There are a lot racism in Korea. Trust me when they hear you speak other languages other than korean or English you will be denied into some places like restaurant or club.
After living in Korea for almost 4 years, I'm always still so surprised at how racism is defended by some Koreans. Especially during Covid, the racism towards foreigners was unreal. Signs explicitly stating "No foreigners allowed", going into a business and being told everything is sold out, but serving the Korean customer behind you with no problem, trying to sell you things at higher prices because you're a foreigner, etc.... The issue is that there are no discrimination laws in place, at all. It is legal to deny jobs, service, etc., based on skin color , size, general appearance, etc...
This country is an amazing place to live, and I love it here, but... There is a lot of room for improvement on many social and human rights issues, in my opinion.
