Awwww😢 I can feel them.. it's really inevitable anywhere we go,there will always be racism, been there, wow ure so good in this luv, thank you for talking about this sensitive one bravely! 💖
hi ate moyyy ❤️
Ingat kayo diyan lagi.🙏💘💘
hi moy keep safe..
Idol Moy @Just Moy in Korea, pwede po bang mag request ng collab project with you pag nakapunta kami ng Busan🙏🙏🙏
That Filipino male teacher was too kind. He should have shouted back to that ignorant Korean woman in the bus, “I’m here to teach your kids how to speak English and to behave properly so they don’t grow up to be as ignorant as you!” Then hit her with a lawsuit.
East Asians are still in need of civility and Christian conversion despite having achieved some semblance to order. This is manifested in their overly strict class and age system and why they themselves live in extreme anxiety to the point of being suicidal. Sorry but, let’s call spade a spade.
Watching this again and realizing that Chris is one of the characters in Squid Game ^^ So cool!
when first time I watched this vlog I have noticed but he is seems familiar. And I check the cast of Squid game, I believe he is.
HAHAHAHAHA same
Wait which one
Oh wait he is
@@calmly7798 yes he is
Even my English teacher said "There's no wrong in English as long us they understand you. There's no right or wrong grammar of it, the important is you understand each other.
yes even just a smile wont hurt anybody. It makes everyones day great
Totoo yan. Kahit ung mga friends kung americano wala nmn problema sa english ng ibang lahe basta naitindihan nila. Pake nila sa pronounciation ng mga pinoy. Na aamaze p sila khit mga bata nkkasalita ng english e.
Wait, Mr. Hiiro is that you
True.
What
Jessica is one eloquent speaker. Love how she explains, points out the obvious yet smoothly traverses through the context of her thoughts. Her accent is fascinating, at least to me. I can feel the purity of her intention in her delivery, en point. A good speaker, indeed.
Bring that ajumma to me.... i'm so angry.....wtf.... r u serious? This world is not for u bruh i'm actually so pissed rn
Calm down ate Sylvia .. Ilysm
calm dowm ajumma...😂🤣
Am i the only who can imagine how sylvia looks when she says this? 🤣
Hahah..
Calm your heart down sylv.😆
Jessica should start a podcast, I think it fits her. She's so vocal.
I agree
@@akopito5898 I'm surely gonna listen to her if she did.
If ever I do start it, on which platform should it be? 😆
@@jessicaleeseul both Spotify and UA-cam (just like what Will Dasovich is doing).
I listen to it eveytime she does not. Her voice is soothing to the ears.
At this point of her YT journey, Jessica Lee doesn’t need to prove anything (to please people, to earn respect, get more views, etc.) yet she uses her platform wisely. This is responsible content creation. 💯
The fact that he remembers the EXACT date, says a lot! It probably scarred him. Just because you’ve never heard of such thing in your country, doesn’t mean it can’t happen! Stop invalidating HIS own experience! That’s his experience, not yours!
IM SO PROUD OF HIM, I JUST KNEW HIM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE NEW KOREAN NETFLIX SERIES "SQUID GAME".
wait this is him??
@@hanakalidi4958 yesss
@@hanakalidi4958 yeah his name is Christian Lagahit.
He was also in Space Sweepers (yes, the filipino waiter)
@@mateo_ferranco OMGG THAT WAS HIMM TOO??!? LMFAO I MAY HAVE WATCHED HIM WITHOUT REALIZING
As a black american man, I used to live in Seoul Korea and I had my experiences of discrimination and racism in Seoul Korea. I did not let that ruining my experience in Seoul, because I had great times in Seoul as a black american man. Good video Jessica, also I think we as people need to embrace other people's culture to make racism better around the world.
everywhere you go there will be discrimination and racism.
True 👍 South Korea racism country
"to make racism better" what?
I agree, I too being a black american took the same view as you. I lived in Ulsan for 3 years and I'm curious, for you who was more friendly, city Koreans or country side Koreans?
For me countryside was awesome.
I remember back in 2018 where I competed in Taekwondo, it was an invitational competition and thankfully there's a lot of filo taekwondo athletes that time who also joined and competed. That time it was very cool to be in a foreign country without your parents just your younger sibling, coaches, and teammates but what I didn't expect is that knetizens would literally talk behind your backs thinking we (more likely me because I'm the only one who was able to understand) wouldn't be able to understand them. It really hurts because you are an athlete and you are there to compete and enjoy all new learnings. It hurts saying that "we are so noisy" "unwelcomed athletes" "we should go back home". Even if my fam and I went to other foreign countries for vacation I would always here people being racist.
Of course. I was an English tutor exclusively for korean students here in the Philippines. The kids would always say that Filipinos are poor and are just living good because of them, funny but i think they get these thoughts from their parents. I went to S.Korea in 2018, in the bus I was standing and it was quite cramped inside, my knees touched a woman's leg, she was sitting, but she tried kicking my legs to push me away. S.Korea doesnt feel like a warm country to me, no matter how much filipinos embrace their culture. My opinions based on my experiences.
they clearly never heard of Korea in the 70s lmao
Base from my experience, Korean kids are disrespectful. I also experienced that with their parents.
When I went to ph as a Korean. Little kids touched me bc my skin was light. It was shocking but that would not ruin my time in ph. I hope your inferiority get you bad way
@@evd549they're just US puppet
"I am a Filipino but I was able to learn English and this is how I speak English. Just imagine you're a Korean and English will become your second language. How is it? Coming from someone who just speaks only English. What do you think would be the difference?"
A big slap in the face! I love this guy 👍 Exactly! This was also what I had in mind when talking about English Accent. What's so great about American Accent or British Accent? It was their mother tongue. Before they start being racist, they should come here in the Philippines, learn Filipino Language, then speak fluent Tagalog.
Me myself I can speak Tagalog, English, Bisaya and a little Japanese and Korean. But them, they only speak their mother tongue but think their great on their own 🙂
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE
Totally agree! I don't get it when accent becomes an issue. British people naturally have the British accent BECAUSE they are British and so with the Americans who definitely have the American accent. Do you expect them to have an Australian accent? Why speak about the obvious? Actually, Americans do have different accents too. They have the North American accent, and the South American accent or the Cali accent. Why do you expect Filipinos to have a British accent or an American accent when Koreans do have an accent too? It's really the ability to communicate that is more important. Remember, even two people with the same accents do have misunderstandings when they can't communicate well.
@@yves_7369 It was the result of colonial mentality of Western Country and how they brainwashed the people. You should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines", you'll learn a lot from there. But to be precise, you should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines Reaction" by Kirby Araullo. Kirby is a Filipino so I believe his words are more accurate.
@@kirojiro23 true i love Kirby's channel.
@@kirojiro23oh he has a channel? Will watch it and subscribe on his channel. Thanks 😍😘.
When CHRIS was questioned about his ability to teach English, he handled the situation very well. Instead being overly-defensive or sensitive about it, he managed to find a common ground with that person. It eventually became the reason why that Korean enrolled to be his student. The difference between learning fom a native speaker vs a non-native speaker is that the latter has first-hand experience in learning English as a 2nd language. They automatically have a connection w/ their students & would easily understand how it feels to learn and adjust to English.
From Chris standpoint or any Filipinos we normally understand if the person you are talking to does not really know how to speak english. We dont normally react right away instead we help and guide them on how to do it.
I remembered my Korean HS classmate here in the PH apologizing to us out of nowhere because on how generally Koreans looked down on Filipinos. He said that after staying in the PH, he was ashamed on how Filipinos are talked about in Korea. That happened yeeeaaarrrsss agooo! I thought it stopped but I guess I was wrong.
As a Japanese, racism is everywhere even here in the Philippines but I find Filipinos more welcoming than being racist. Been staying here for a little over 3 years now and I've been enjoying my stay here so far. I also made a lot of friends already. Too bad I have to move out soon due to the nature of my work.
Yea some will discriminate you here but not to the extent of physical harm. Most of the filipinos are well aware of the foreigners especially in my province here in palawan(since we're a tourist destination) were mostly everyday I can see foreigners (before the pandemic hits).
yeah filipinos are not racist....? ? only to those foreigner white people. but if you came from the province yeah expect pinoys are one of the most racist people on earth..
❤️
@@spideken123 not so many Filipinos lol.
💓💓💓
"Hey Guys it's Jessica here"
The iconic into 💓💙💓
I just get reminded of Sylvia and Moy making fun of it. Lmao.
THEIR CONVERSATION is just to soften discrimination BUT they did not really talked about the REAL discrimination against Filipinos. OFW is the definition of people's perception of Filipinos not only in Korea but other parts of the world.
True nag eexpect ako na aminin nila yung racism nila instead of saying not all koreans are like that.
I have to agree with you on this one. In addition, we tend to soften the blow when there's a camera rolling.
It’s mostly because there is a Korean and we Filipinos tend to treat those who invited us to chat with respect. We accommodate others too much and overlook what is needed to be said *sigh*
@@zhsjsnsb6633 babahaha yea i hate it when filipinos go “hurr durr not everyones like that guise!!11!!1l” masyado tayong gullible
Wow.. Chris is such a eloquent speaker, his insights is just good to hear, it doesn't speak bad about the race itself but gives a nice understanding and gives his opinion.
I had Korean, and other non english nationalities classmates here in the Philippines to study english as it is cheaper here, most of them are nice and I think they don't have problem in the english accent and I just noticed that they really like to be in their own little groups.
Here in middle-east, we combine languages like a combination of English, Arabic, Hindi, Malayam, Nepali, Tagalog. If we need to break each sentence or word it's okay as long as we understand each other (with a full-body sign, not just a normal hand gesture while speaking). Especially here in the construction field because we deal with lots of Labourers who barely speaks English.
This is what I learn from my college professor the defiition of communication - is transmitting ideas and information from one person to another by means of pictures, figure, graphs, photo, signs, words, (and accent is not included in there) as long as you understand the person
SKL, I just watched the Squid Game (ep.4 pa ako) on Netflix and immediately recognized Chris. Haha. I even checked the credits to confirm it was him. Then I went back here just to comment this. Hahaha Galing nyo sa tug-of- war kuya! Good luck sa next game! Sana hindi ka mamatay 😅 hahaha
Same
Aw..sadly na deadz din po kuya chris...😔
Ikr
sama kaya pla familiar siya Kasi napanood ko na Siya Kay ate jessica AHAHAHAHH
Sabi ko, familiar siya, san ko kaya nakita. , then naisip ko vlogs ni jessica.
I’m a foreigner and I’ve been living here in South Korea for 10 years because of my dad job. Just recently I want to get a new sim for my phone but the owner won’t gave me one since I’m a Filipino. I have alien card but after seeing my passport the shop owner still say no and said that it’s a new policy of the government something. In my thoughts 🤬 Like, what’s your problem with us?
Oh, not only that, recently also, I was applying for a job, then the person interviewing me what’s my nationality, after saying that I’m a Filipino, he then do a judge look. Then told me that they don’t accept Filipino’s and said that That my kind should work on the bar only or something blah blah blah… The discrimination is so 🤬 real. I don’t generalize all korean cause I have korean friends and classmates also but most Koreans do judge your skin color, your nationality, your look and everything. Especially oldies. Well, some younger ones but mostly oldies. It’s hurt.
Nagpunta kami dyan sa Korea last march 2019..may napanood ako sa local television ng korea binabato nila yung japanese na contestant sa isang ice skatin competition ng pet bottle..grabe naman talaga..
The fact that Koreans want to travel and live here in the Philippines for good and Filipinos are giving them a warm welcome. But when Filipinos go to Korea, it's the complete exact opposite.
Not really, watch her video on her experiences when she was growing up in Pinas, people made fun of her eyes. Her other Korean friends also said the same. There are racists in all countries, kahit sa Pinas.
@@tapunan yes, I watched that vid. Some Filipinos are mocking her eyes.
@@tapunan pero di naman aabot sa punto na mananakit ang mga filipino. Alaskador lang talaga tayo, eventually magiging kaibigan din natin sila.
@@tapunan and that is the reason why racism is everywhere.
@@tapunan yeah that is why racism is everywhere but we cannot deny Korea is a racist country and even other countries specially Southeast Asian countries they knew korea is really have problematic about racism because they are one of the victim of being racist of some Korean and that must be fix that of Korean government cause I Know until it really exists.
IFY IN THE KDRAMA EMEGED HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Umbrella thing HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAH
si chris ba yung #276 sa squid game????
si kuya yung nasa squid game !!!
Kuya Chris, ikaw yung sa squid game?
@@aaronguerrero5677 yes...
Opo sya po yun...Pinsan ko yan ...haha..sya rin po yung nasa space sweeper☺️
This was really interesting, got me hooked till the end. Conversations were relaxed, and engaging, it’s just like a group of mature friends talking about adult stuff and our realities. Cheers! 🍻
I remember way back 2013 in our church in Philippines there were korean visitors because we had youth camps every year and we became friends with one of them and she admitted that her friends and most of her fellowmen always look down the Filipinos they think they are superior than us higher than us and etc and I proved that the time when we were about having our dinner they didn't want to eat with us instead they eat jn a much better place than us. And I have seen some of the korean artists mocks us the way we talk in english.
oh my thats sad
Yes! It's true
It’s kinda ironic because their English is just as bad and they go to the Philippines to study English to become better at it. Unfortunately their stereotypes will be there until the Philippines becomes more stable. Maybe in a few decades it will get better but right now I highly doubt it
Bruh that is messed up! We even speak clearer English than them (sounds bold but it somehow true till this day right now) hopefully they would learn not judge quickly and the fact they learn english from us is not a right to mock us like that regardless of our social status and background I mean not all koreans are bad (Even if I like South Korea not everything they do is justifyable especially when its wrong I mean also other countries but yeah that is there) but some are just racist just saying its just disrespectful as Filipino and any other race that faces racism!
But at the same time Filipinos mock Filipinos about there English
Jessica is so well-spoken. She delivers her thoughts in very organized and understandable manner that her message no doubt transcends. I love her.
I love how Jessica loves to deep dive into these types of issues. We get entertained and learn a lot at the same time. Plus you can really see how organized she is, I love her editing style as it's like a book, there's the topic and sub-topics where we can follow along the main idea that they are discussing. I'm currently studying topik and planning to take masters in Korea soon and this really is relevant~
i love jessica's videos ) : quality content that's fun AND vocal and in a really easy to digest way too !! NEVER mindless or ignorant, it's kinda rare to see a youtuber who's so aware and tries to be rlly sensitive with certain topics but is also not afraid to speak about them. i love u girl keep doing what ur doing
I loved and agree with every single word that Chris said. Embracing other culture and be open minded to know and learn from it is the way we should live. Tks Chris.
It is as simple as ACCEPTANCE of other cultures or for who they are as individual. We are all different and we cannot force other to be like who we are. It is also the word RESPECT that can avoid racism.
Yes! I strongly believe in only judging an individual. Not their race
Although biases may be a natural leaning of individual being, we have to help avert a certain bias from becoming cultural or xenophobic, leadership and education gives the momentum and sharing of experiences like this is a source for learning.
I am a fan! Have been binge watching your vlogs and I love how you love the Philippines and Filipinos. Excited to see more of your daily vlogs and contents like these, bringing social awareness to diversity.
I love this content. An eye opener to everyone. It's a good thing that korean and Filipinos talk about this which is not really new for us, Asians. I hope this content help us to have an awareness to respect each other even though we have different nationalities. Respect is the Key for peace. Life is to short. Spread love and kindness. 💖
cringe lumping of east asians and southeast asians under an umbrella term (asian)😬😬😬😬
@@followengland_ballsonig2938what’s even more cringe is lumping west Asians and South Asians in the same group as East Asians 😂
@@SaiyanPoy “asia” literally meant ant land east of greece in ancient times that’s where the proglem started 😭
An updated term is needed for sure then! I didn’t know that 😂
Hello! Yes, I've experienced racism in Korea 3x, for being Filipino. Twice of which at the airport in Busan. One of them was very traumatic!! It still shivers down my spine after 9 years...
Facts: many Koreans wants to travel philippines, and many Filipino's wants to travel Korea. LT
Honestly no, Philippines is infamous for pickpockets and crimes in Korea. I dont meant this to be mean, just saying the image of the Philippines in Korea
Not me Philippines 🇵🇭 🇬🇧 is way better than in Korea, inspite of high poor population!!not being bias!!
@@uwuwu7553 It's gradually changing because of TV Shows exposing the beauty of the Philippines to Koreans. In 2019, South Koreans was the no.1 international visitors in the country, mostly they visit Cebu.
@@kirojiro23 thats why only Cebu is famous. We are talking about the image of the Philippines. And also extra judicial killing were shown in Korea news back then.
If its variety show of course they will show the bright side of a place. They’ll get a lot of hate if they did otherwise.
@@uwuwu7553 And that's the purpose of Jessica's Channel. To spread Filipino culture awareness 😀
The fact that he remembers the exact date , it must be traumatizing for him :(
i don’t believe “we’re all racist”, but I will say we are all prejudice or have prejudices. I personally don’t think we should say “we’re all racist” coz that would almost normalize racism. Which is isn’t and shouldn’t be. Awesome video guys!
Normalize or not, that's another topic. But if we were born as human, we're all racist. That's just fact. A classic experiment would be prisons. When humans are thrown back in to such state, raw and primitive instinct will kick in. That's why, in the prisons, inmates group themselves by race.
Ben I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. I feel that racism is not human nature, but nurtured. I don’t see toddlers hating on other toddlers for being different. Therefore it’s difficult for me to accept that humans are racist in nature.
@@maggo_1111 Agreed, racism is just a social construct.
@@maggo_1111VERY WELL SAID! 🗣️
To be honest, I personally have never been exposed to racism even if I've lived and worked in the US. Even when I burried my father in Missouri. As an asian, people's looks did not matter to me. Even if I had a conversation with a cousin about how "poor" the philippines was, I told him we had five maids.
I personally had a maid who would looke after me. He shut up after hearing I had my own personal maid.
When i saw the word"DISCRIMINATE" on the thumbnail im hesitating if i should watch it or not, but thanks God i watched it. It's very informative and realistic. Thanks jessica!
My wife is from Davao and you are right about Filipinos and English. She's been speaking it all her life. There are kids now whose only main language is English! And even in the heart of the country on a little island where you don't know the dialect they'll speak English. For Asian countries this is massive. It make the Philippines stand out for foreigners like you say. But it's also great to learn Filipino languages because you can just use English when you don't know how to say things. You end up with Taglish for example.
im a filipino american and everytime i go to the Philippines i do get discriminated for being a "dark skinned" filipino until i speak in my american english...
I'm not sure, but I think Chris is one of the players in the new netflix series called squid gameeeee?
Yeah he was, I think only for the Tug of war scene he was at the same team with the main characters well.. majority of the main characters
Yung sa space sweeper andun din po sya
boi its squid game lol
@@arin2922 sa squid game saka space sweeper po...pinsan ko po yan☺️ haha..
Player 267 lmaoooo
Jessica could walk through fire and come out unscathed. She's not afraid to talk about topics that can get people into a combative stance because she has this power to diffuse tense situations..
It was May of 2018, when I was in Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan. I was heading to the boarding area and two Korean ahjummas were behind me. I suddenly realized that my boarding pass went missing so I had to go back and find it. When suddenly, the other ahjumma tapped me on my shoulder asking me if the boarding pass she found was mine. I looked at it and it was definitely mine. The other ahjumma also helped me with my other bag since I had difficulty carrying it. I was really thankful to the both of them. I don't remember their faces anymore but thanks to them I boarded my plane back to the Philippines on time. ❤️❤️🇰🇷🇰🇷
I am doing a research a simple research here in youtube related to my lesson then I found this video its really amazing .The topics that you 3 talked about are really gave to me a great explanations about more ideas in korea and philippines.Theres a lot of things that very confusing but you all shared it without hesitation .Its well said .I really expecting another video with you 3 again😍❤️
K-dramas are the romanticized versions of the actual South Korean society, it happens but maybe in a 1 of thousands or millions. And yes, they are correct we have all innate racism, no matter how someone denies to themselves, it really exists inside us whether verbal or not. People tend to be judgmental for something they don't know or new to them.
Although some recent Kdramas right now uncover the dark reality of their society like school pressure or cults like Sky Castle and Save me ,Kpop industry, Lgbtq and many taboos (problems in life ) I mean even if they are dramatized they uncovered the reality of their lives not just fairytales or something like what past kdramas do. I mean even if I'm a fan of Kdramas I don't really view South Korea as that in real life where everythng is unicorns and rainbows which is definitely wrong
@@juanchoresultay2704 true, at least some (production) tend to be experimental and releasing K dramas from the other side of the coin.
Kuya : Ang kulit...
JES: ako? hahahhahahahahahha AHAGAHAHHA so cute
Me too i feel alot of discrimination here in korea.. just because im foreigner.. and im not good in korean language.. because im different to them and also because of my body type im fat i gave birth to twins i feel so hard losing my weight more my stomach.. they keep looking at me also of how i wear but im wearing decent clothes i dont understand hay :(... but when korean came to philippines Filipino people adores and love koreans alot
As a tourist in korea, i was treated nicely.. At the subway, a korean senior gave me 20K won! I was so happy thank you seoul! Hehe
Is Chris the guy in squid game? He's everywhere.
yes he's the guy in squid game wow😁
he is zoro's father
He was also in the netflix’s movie Space Sweepers with Song Joongki
@@UmeHimemin0ism Anupham Triphati ( Ali / Player 199 ) was also in that movie.
On point to Ate Caryl! "Subway" really. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRANSPO. Always on time and very convenient when you travel around Seoul and even nearby provinces.
People always handle things they aren't familiar in bad ways, it's been going on since the dawn of time, and it will always happens, we have to start practicing being open-minded to other cultures from other parts of the world, if we do that, then we will be okay.
I like how you chose your topics, like this one I got a lot of i sights.. every aspect and your questions are so on point..your line of questions are just so brilliant and brings out the beautiful (also painful) experiences of your interviewees..as a Filipino I appreciate how you respect us. Hope you could get here again soon :)
This is informative and entertaining at the same time. Plus, you all expressed your thoughts and experiences very well. I would also like to thank you, three, for giving us new insights and perspectives to ponder upon regarding this issue.
Thank you so much for the great content, Jessica! You never fail to amaze me with your videos and give me lots of knowledge. I'm learning a lot! I hope you all stay safe and have a great day! 😊💗
The Guy is really from Squid Game!! WAAAH!
I really came back to this vlog just to say that he's the guy in the Squid Game. I remember him because of what he shares here. He's a good actor. 💖 Ang galing galing 💖
This was my first time watching your vlogs (on the 4th vid now) and I really love it. it's very educational ❤️
I never thought that the Koreans will underrate the accent of the Filipinos in english actually, the Filipinos should underrate the accent of the Koreans instead the way they speak in English is not a smooth as the Filipinos accent it's really funny and ironic but anyway like others said it's shouldn't an issue anymore the most important thing is respect and you are both understand each other
Right. Even on kdrama they often focus too much on accent but messed up the pronunciation most of the time. Because trying to sound like this and that
it's just like how other ppl make fun of the indian accent like dude of course every country has an accent when speaking english
I'm an Indian and I think filipino accent sounds good I mean it's atleast easy to understand and your native language is Tagalog then how can they expect you to speak in a perfect accent:/
@@fieshnchips I agree!
1:23 MANY in Manila, Cebu City, and in Subic Bay. Many Korean owned restaurants and businesses only have Korean words in their business buildings. They say they only cater only to Koreans even though they're in the PHILIPPINES! Sadly the government doesn't do nothing about it....
jessica deserves a million subs! i was surprised to see she only has 600k+ subs for now but she'll eventually get there too. she's very well spoken, has good content, and she's just so kind overall. i hope more people would be open minded and be kind to others.
I’m American of Filipino descent and lived in Korea for 25 years and have never experienced racism here.
This was a very eye-opening and entertaining talk. I appreciate everyone sharing their stories and opinions in the video!
Omo! Did that guy appear as #276 in Squid Game on Netflix!? 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Yes I guess he did Ep 4 correct?
Filipinos are known for being friendly and generous, so I actually love giving gifts for every season like, pepero day, valentines, etc. And almost everyday, I might have missed a day or a week for 4yrs but I love giving candies, chocolates or coffee to my co workers and someone asked me, "Are you rich? Aren t you living a wood house in Ph?" Like what the h. And they keep on saying like, "Aren t philippines like people living with a gun?" And with my most sincere emotions tryin to make good friends, I felt so heart broken honestly.
I'm Fil-Am (Filipino American), born, raised and educated in the US and working as an Assistant Professor for almost 15 years in South Korea and this happens to me all the time. From very young kids aged 5 or 6 all the way to the elders in their sixties and seventies. And most of the stares are not friendly, but rather disgust because they assume that I'm from a third world country and probably working in a factory, thus in their eyes, beneath them.
I think it's a BS excuse that most Koreans use when they stare at foreigners in South Korea. There are too many foreigners living here already and it still happens everywhere. I believe Koreans just use this excuse (that they're staring because of curiosity or because it is new) as a means to normalize and perpetuate the action towards foreigners. Koreans know when they stare at foreigners, they can get away with it. They also know that they are making the foreigner feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed, and that's the main purpose of it. And rather than acknowledge that it is wrong and shouldn't be done, when confronted, Koreans revert to this BS excuse of "I'm just curious" in order to save face.
The fact that the host of the video uses this reasoning as well just proves that this excuse has been used and passed down from one generation to the next. The first step in solving a problem is acknowledging there is one and until Koreans admit that staring at foreigners is not done out of curiosity, it will continue.
I really love this video, the way Caryl and Chris answered the questions was really witty and thoughtful. I also appreciate you ate Jessica for making them feel comfortable. Racism is a very serious topic, and this video made some clear points about it. Let's embrace each other and Be as ONE 🤗❤
They are UP students, no wonder!!!
I love Jessica she really knows how to handle and carry the conversation.
Out of topic, but I think Chris is in the series 'Squid Game'. He's just kinda familiar to me. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
Yeah he is. No.256
I've been binge watching Ms. Jessica's videos and i think that it is worth our time. We could learn something new as a filipino. I enjoyed this particular video/content. Totally agree with diversity and respecting different cultures.
There are also different english accents that a Filipino could possess and it's alright to possess such a strong accent, as long as the message is clearly coveyed in a polite and non judgemental manner. 😊 Maraming salamat Binibining Lee. 🤍
I love the easy to understand way of explaning things with thought provoking questions. Thanks for this.
You had an interesting topic to talk about in this video.it gave me additional informations on what to expect when in Korea; that there are things that dont exists in real life as seen in kdramas. As to English communication, as long as both person talking to each other, do understand even if there's an accent, there's nothing to worrv about.
Thank you for inviting two of our kababayans giving their insights about living in Korea.
Jessica, I like that you have this content. It raises awareness on real issues regarding racism, discrimination, bullying, micro inequities, cognitive biases and other ineffective mindsets and behaviors that prevent us from making this world a better place. Your style connects very well with a huge number of people and makes us reflect on our ways of thinking and behaving. It's fun to watch, too. Keep up the good work!
What a great educational discussion Jessica! I would love to be a part of your future discussions like this! ❤️
i love their topic and being open.
i love the question from the difference of country until the enddd. i want more conversation with this trio
love this segment !!! more of this please
So Chris is in The Squid Game. It's big news here in the PH just about now. Congratulations Player 276! So proud of you kabayan!
Watching this vlog suddenly got me teary eyed. I dont know why, maybe because I wanna go to other countries too and listening to their experiences, I felt really bad. I hope people will accept and appreciate each other more in the future.
At 5:35 Jessica describes how an authentic person who love's her past and experiences would describe what has molded her to being how she is a truly well balanced person. Complete with faults and failures and love for self and what has shaped her. Jessica is someone who wants to change the world by making people accept each other's differnce and letting each other know we are a global family.
I want a lot of likes on this comment because its true!
Korea has K-drama, we also have this long running PH-drama here in the Philippines called "Probinsyano" where the protagonist has 100 lives. his like son-guko of Japanese anime. yah!
I just knew Chris because he's with the main cast group in Squid game episode 4 and now I saw him again here he's answer is so nice : >
I also teach Korean students and I must say that some of them are racist because they are not that expose to other culture. i think educating them properly will definitely change everything in the future. So keep on teaching seonsaengnims! 💗
as chris tucker would say "DO YOU UNDERSTAND, THE WORDS COMING OUT MY MOUTH?"
It's true that (MANY and not some) Koreans look down on Filipinos. You will notice this on their choice of words that they use with you and their body language. They would even be surprised and look you up and down if you dress better (or in designers) than them. That's when I was there. Here, the older men have this thinking that every Filipino can be paid off. The younger ones feel like they're oppas from K-dramas. The few Koreans that I personally know to be decent are the ones that stayed in the PH for a long time. It's actually not about racism but superiority (or the feeling of). Just because they don't say it, doesn't mean it's not true.
This is so good conversation. Thank you Jessica for bringing out this topic.
Kudos to the guests.. Very well said... Very well explained...This is somehow will open to other people who want to be in Korea whether an for education or pursuing career. You have to be physically and more mentally and emotionally ready.
Thank you for this informative video. It’s an eye-opener of the reality in this world.
This video is so meaningful.(To extent that I download it to watch again offline) This interview is eye-opener to those who dream to go in any country.Racism is still there its inevitable.It's really sad to know that their some filipinos had experience this. Keep going! Don't let yourself be affected ..just understand them that they not ready to open themselves in diff.race. Btw ang gaganda ng mga tanong na binabato ni Bb.jess.💕💕
So informative and entertaining from the beginning until the end. I really enjoyed watching it! More vids like this please. ☺️
I live how you say "Hello it's Jessica Here" will never get old ily💜💜
thank you so much for this video! ive been really wanting to get a job in korea specifically a teaching job, so if it's possible i wanna hear some information or tips from them.
LOVE YOU JESSICA! 😗
Proud of Chris…saw the movie SQUID game and it was dope…thanks Jessica for this vlog i love all your videos…
I love your videos especially this kind of topics.. the delivery of each points are amazing. It’s shows your knowledge about things.. and i believe you do a lot of research about the topic.
as a filipino and an OFW myself, I experienced a lot of “racisms” in terms of accent, our culture, our traditions etc, and one thing i can say is that, filipinos are being looked down everywhere in the world..
Filipinos can be racist as well, as you said, racisms are everywhere and in some points, we also did that unintentionally (or intentionally) especially in this generation. So, I’m hoping that through this kind of videos, the younger generations (and even the older ones) can learn and open their eyes and mind to accept and respect each person, races, skin color, etc. a small step can make great improvements if everyone is doing it.
Lastly, thank you for doing this kind of videos and for the love and support you have for Filipinos.
I really look forward to your next topic and content.
You got a new subscriber here :)
wow! hats off for braving this very sensitive topic and pulled it off seamlessly. I really appreciate your thoughts on racism in a deeper perspective. You're such a genius young lady!
Thank you Jessica for always making a good content, especially this one. Looking for more 💕
This is so relevantt, every second is worth to watch. Thank you!!
When I went to Korea before the pandemic idek but they were actually nice and patient. When I would try to speak in Korean with errors at times, they politely corrected me. Then there would be times that they would even approach me to have small talks (which was weird) and sometimes ask me for directions when I was in Hongdae like I be internally saying "I'm even a tourist here. Why would you ask me?"
