- In the wake of George Floyd’s death, the Black Lives Matter movement has gone global and a lot of you requested that Asian Boss interview ordinary South Koreans to get their perspectives on this issue. South Korea, of course, has experience with organizing one of the most successful protests in history to impeach their own president.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Korean population.

6:34 - What?!? I don't know where he was in the US, but that doesn't seem right. Someone would've posted online and the business would've apologized.
There are Antiprotestors that are insiting the violence. It's not mad as hell Blacks/Brown protecting causing violence. We ask with the Civil Rights movement. We asked with the Black Panther movement. WE ARE TIRED OF ASKING. By any means necessary - Malcolm X
Racism is a problem across the world, but most of the Asian countries I've been in some people do little to hide their distain. A movie I saw recently, a guy said the lady was uglier than a black girls... WTH
You forgot to put your disclaimer in the description of the video
Similar incident was happened in Japan too in May 22nd. Innocent Kurdish man was treated violently by Japanese cops. You should make a video about that
Sis was speaking so much truth the mask would not stay on her face
Agreed. The lady at 11:59 was saying so much facts. people were looting with smiles on their face, it disgusted me because they didn't really care about the guy who died. They just saw it as an opportunity to loot innocent business owners so they can profit from it.
@@blueraineee Can someone tell me if money donated to black lives matter directly will help bail the violent rioters that caused destruction, and loss of lives?
I am trying to help the movement financially as a foreigner but I do not want to support the violent side that is seemingly using this for their own benefit.
I would be more than happy if my money helped bail some of the people who have been arrested even though they were just practicing their free speech and peacefully protesting for their rights like I have seen on many horrid videos on social media.
I also watched a video of Floyde's brother condemning the violence of the movement so to respect Floyde's family I want to be cautious about this.
Any help to a confused foreigner is much appreciated lol.
I hope that at the end of the day justice will be served!
That pink Jacket that Jin forgot about if you donate to trusted bail and charity funds (and i'm sure you can look up what can and can not be trusted) its sure to help them out. also, make sure you dont dump all of your money in all one place. some charities have said theyve been quite overwhelmed with the support and the donations and there are still a lot of pools and charities that need help. also to answer your first question, most of these protesters are peaceful. its the police that make these protests violent, and its mostly the peaceful protesters that get shot and arrested. most of the riots and looting died out on the first day, and the looters couldnt have been arrested as all of the police were busy shooting down the actual protesters. i hope this helps you out.

“I think I would lose trust in my government...” The young lady who said that expressed the situation perfectly.
And the trust the Americans have in their government was already low to non existent
Haven't stood for the flag since the 6th grade. Some people think it's disrespectful but even the pledge itself is a lie. It's not "God bless America" it's "GOD HELP US."
AJ “in liberty and justice for all” it really is a lie.
@@skiifish ami💜🥺
AJ ᵃᵐⁱⁱⁱⁱ🥺💜💜
I almost envied the girl who said that if a policeman used force on her when she tried to peacefully protest she would lose trust in her government. Meanwhile in the US, I forgot what trusting my government feels like...
That is because South Koreans fought for democracy over and over against in last 70 years. We went through 3 dictatorships and 1 puppet president. And time and time again, we proved people can change the government and fix the system. America used to be open minded and engaged society up until long period of prosperity and false sense of security brought so many people in US into fake greatness that they think they have. Those who are living under false sense of "great country" maybe should learn true greatness comes from accepting your own flaws.
Is there actual evidence of police attacking *peaceful* protesters (not rioters/looters)?
Christopher Rivera yes
@@christopherrivera1673 maybe make some research for once it's literally everywhere you don't even have to spend effort to find it. Literally Google it and you will see tons of videos. You sound so ignorant gosh America please I'm begging
@@christopherrivera1673 Literally happened in action on the news. That day Trump decided it was a good idea to take selfies with an upsidedown bible (im not even religious and i was cringing). Curfew was set for 7 and the police and military started to use forceful methods a half hour before curfew began. There were probably hundreds of ppl who wouldve left peacefully at the appropriate time, but many of them were pepper sprayed, shot with rubber bullets and pushed to the ground.
The woman with the Lee shirt completely gets the point.
@J C No person deserves to be killed like that. Even criminals.
@J C 5 dollars is not equivalent to the worth of life
@J C if that's all it takes for you to kill someone off, we might have found a serial killer here
@J C no one deserves to be murdered for that. and what about Ahmaud Arbery who was racially profiled and murdered in broad daylight when he was slimply jogging around his neighborhood? There are many other cases like his own
@Bugs Monkey No large black population, but they have a black population none the less, you've inadvertently proven that being black does not make a person a criminal and that the systems in Asia are different than the systems in America as the systems in America were built to keep minorities oppressed. While in Asia the systems are built to keep the peace.
A country built on violence, torture and abuse of minorities, vs a country built on every citizen including minorities working together to achieve balance and harmony.
I wonder why one is working and the other isn't? Must be because we have more minorities! /s
“I don’t understand how Americans could have such bad judgment” SENT
Trump isn't responsible for a left-wing, blue state mayor's police tactics. If he didn't want officers kneeling on people, the mayor could've banned it.
@@anonymous3637 Trump as the highest representative of the country is the biggest role model and he sets the tone. And this tone included racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia from the start. Don't paint him as an innocent in this matter.
I think the problem isn’t just the president it’s also the Americans themselves
LaNoireDetruit he certainly isn’t innocent of many crimes but I have yet to see him being openly racist. I really don’t like people who categorize other and say they are every kind of -ist without proof.
Tanguy Chalanet exactly
“Things won’t change drastically because one person died, but I don’t necessarily think 100 people must die for there to be change.”
OH BOY too late
Right. When I heard that, that person must no have been aware of what's been happening.
barely anyone died in the protests but black people have been dying from supremacy for generations, sad really
My opinion:
I don't think George Floyd deserved to die in that manner but I don't think he should be seen as a martyr for black people. George Floyd at the time of his arrest was high on fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of his death, according to the autopsy report, and goes on to cite his record which includes jail sentences in 1998, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2007. His 2007 arrest was for participating in an armed home invasion against a pregnant African-American woman, where Floyd held a gun to the pregnant mother’s stomach.
George Floyd is never an amazing person. He is a criminal.
Criminal Record:
1998: 10 months for theft with a firearm.
2002: 8 months for cocaine offence
2004: 10 months for cocaine offence
2005: 10 months for cocaine (under 1g)
2006: 5 years for armed robbery
2007: arrested for participating in an armed home invasion against a pregnant African-American woman, where Floyd held a gun to the pregnant mother’s stomach.
2020: Counterfeit money and possession of meth
Should he die in that manner? Of course, NO! And also, he did not deserve to die and hopefully, His family receives justice. But people should stop making martyr out of somebody who pointed a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach as he robbed her.
Oliver A. Abarquez I understand what you’re trying to say, but I’m going to have to disagree with this one. Even though Floyd did have drugs in his system, it was not the main cause of his death, he died because of asphyxia. And even if he had a criminal record, it does not change what had happened.
The protest needs to have clear practical goals that can be applied to bring about the changes that are needed to uproot this racism .
“I don’t understand how Americans can make bad judgment” *embarrassment floods face*
Both candidates were terrible. Hillary wouldn't have been a better choice.
@@Spanish_Patriot the fact that both candidates were terrible is embarrassing enough tbh
@@emmarosler2723 True like those were the two options for president and they both weren't good🤦🏾♀️
Well, Trump didn't receive the popular vote. His election was due to a flaw in our system. Regardless, our government problems go beyond just Trump.
Again as I’ve said I’m HEAVY ON THE “how CAN AMERICANS MAKE BAD JUDGEMENT”
"he could've been a dad" HE IS. see how unfair that is
and his twin brother looks just like him, that is why his only child, a daughter didn't know he died yet.
It really hit me when I saw the video of George Floyd’s 6 year old daughter saying, “Daddy changed the world!”
i feel terribly sorry for his wife and his daughter for losing someone special. George is in a better place now.
He is.. he has s daughter, a bright and beautiful daughter. I swear, she will be something special.
He was.....
As an American, it affects me deeply how people from other countries are supporting us. Thank you all! I feel like not enough Americans would do the same if the tables were turned.
I didn’t really know about it that much, but didn’t we support the people in the Hong Kong protest? I don’t really know much about other countries, especially the big ones
@@char5285 I mean I certainly did, but I didn't see a whole lot of attention to it outside of young lefties like me.
@@char5285 Yeah I supported but tbh idk why a lot of people DON"T. LIke, it's not just a 'them' problem, that a 'we' problem
I agree
Yes thank you for acknowledging this!
The questions really dug deep into the issue and the answers were also very enlightening.
Thank you Asian Boss. Keep up the good work.

@@francope2819 I saw posts on facebook. I've googled his criminal record.
George didn't have to die in that manner but for him to be seen as a martyr for black people, I don't think he's deserving enough of that.
the last guy’s answer made me tear up a bit because he’s so intelligent and we need more people like him
I was heartened by that one guy who knew the score as far as media presentation goes.
Agreed, amina.
He should live in a black neighborhood for couple of years first. Or better yet, bring a large black population to Korea! He might quickly have a change of heart.
Yes, he knows how media are portraying the protesters as so violent because it fits their narrative without showing how the police incite so much of the violence.
@@mango8999 you do realize that the media is left leaning right, a good amount of the protesters are not peaceful, they riot, maybe it doesn’t fit YOUR narrative but that is how it is. And the police doesn’t incite “so much violence”, it only does when the perpetrators do not comply. This issue occurred 2 years old ago, I hope you see past this wokeness.
As a black person, this actually meant a lot to me. Thank you.

The long haired guy and the girl in the Lee shirt knows what's up
(Edit: Wow! Top comment, thanks guys!)
For real
They get it!!
Yes!!! Came to say the same!
which timestamp?
WOKE
The girl in the Lee shirt and the guy in the burnt orange hat were the most understanding of the situation in my opinion
Did she talk about how most the pey killed by police are white lol I didn't see he speaking truth
@@uhhowaboutno4180 look up how the killings are still disproportionate
@@uhhowaboutno4180 can you do math? You need to take into account percentage of population.
@@uhhowaboutno4180 there is police violence against all of the weakest citizens not only ethnic minorities but also homeless, disabled or mentally ill. But you have to admit that police disproportionally pulls over black people for no reason. Do you think thats allright or arent you aware about that?
I thought the same😌👏🏾
The woman with the Lee t-shirt is on another level, I stan her.
Emily Alexander we she said “he could have been a dad with children” EXACTLY 👏 THANK YOU 👏 he wasn’t a “black man”. he was a man, he was a human. and the fact that his skin color alone scared police into using such excessive force that he lost his life, is evidence enough that racism in america is still a BIG problem.
IKR SHE SNAPPED!!!! I knew she was it when she said she cried !
Like she's a queen
Yaaasss 💜
Yeah, and she even admitted that, being confronted with violent police while protesting peacefully, she would probably have resorted to violence herself. And she is right, of course, what else can you do? You can run, of course, but then they win and you lose. A Government intimidating its citizens into accepting a bad situation by using force is not worthy of staying in power. And it surely cannot be called "democratic".
The girl in the Lee shirt is better educated on the subject than a lot of the American people, wowwww
That's what I thought too throughout the whole video
Because there’s a difference between being ignorant and willfully ignorant. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant. The woman in the Lee shirt, and most of the others in the video, thankfully have better judgement.
I love her, does anyone know her socials :(??
Not shocking
Completely agreed!!!
Can someone tell me how the hell people living 6,671 miles away can have a better understanding of life in America then people living right here we’re this is happening every day .
social media and americans are ignorant
Lmaoooo this comment made my day
They don't, what are you talking about?
Because they aren’t beneficiaries of systemic racism and white supremacy.
The bystander point of view allows people to get a much more in depth analysis and understanding despite not experiencing the scene. It allows them to rely on evidence rather than mere heresy.
See 3:04.
They are not blind to see the fact that George Floyd had indeed died because of mishandled justice.
Also more than him being black, consider the humanity of thought. Before you view Floyd as Black you must see him first as a human being. Is an ordinary citizen deserving to be killed during an arrest?
You don't have to be black to analyze the evidence and understand that injustice was done.
She was so polite when she said excuse me but I would get violent back. Lol that girl is fire
I liked her too she was my favorite lol
She would also be dead if she did that.
@@MissKealoha But she shouldn't be, isn't that part of the point? Peaceful protesting shouldn't be met with violence. Violence shouldn't be met with murder. No need for such extreme escalation.
because she knows all she needs to do is cry and press charge against police for sexual harresment.
@@ubuntuber1619 Sure......the perks of being a woman. 😉
"This is discrimination against a fellow human being, not just black people " True statement World needs change
EDIT: I wasn't paying attention to the one girl who had also said this, this statement is my own words and I still stand by it. I guess great minds think alike.
That may be true, but the reason that the discrimination against this human happened, is because this human just happend to be black. Of course discrimination of any kind is wrong but I just want people to understand that it happens because of the color of someone's skin. In a way its seems as if she was saying "all lives matter".
@@purplepotatoe3807 say it girl
That really was an ALM approach and does a disservice. She had the right intentions tho. Yes humans matter, and other issues for other people/communities matter but right now we need to focus on the fact that black and brown communities are facing genocide daily. This is in fact entirely an issue ab black men/ women and their oppression. It's more than just one human being, this is about an entire culture being treated unfairly and murdered for centuries due to their dark complexion. So yeah kinda but no.
@@blackfire1146 I agree so much with u
@@Darlingcakings thank you, seasoning💖 lol I hope you're doing well!
If people of a rather homogeneous country can see the issues with America why is it so hard for some Americans to see it too?
Because a lot of americans live in a homogenous america where they are conditioned to "conserve" that way of life. The same ppl who have such a huge issue with immigrants though their grandparents were...
They do see it, they really dont care and also to preserve the system as it is as it benefits them, their children, and their way of life
it's harder to see the bigger picture when you're in it and have attachments to an issue. this isn't just for America
Honestly
South Korea is one of the most racists countries in the world. You should read more and find out how dark-skinned Koreans are discriminated against. You have a lot of research to do.
the fact that they have more common sense and understand better than so many more americans right now.
I swear it's unreal
I see that among foreigners a lot; especially Europeans. They understand America and our problems better than we do. It makes me ashamed.
I believe it's our education system and that we think we're the only country in the world. This country is built on a "me, me, me" attitude so why would we worry about others?
If you add that with an education system that doesn't teach you to think critically, or to be able to survive life as an adult, we get what we have now. Imo.
DeadlyBooRose Nah it isn’t the education system, it’s society as a whole. They make us believe that we’re the best and choose to educate us of other places just to make the comparison that were “the more developed country”. Everything here is so flawed and outdated.
DeadlyBooRose yo that’s so true 😭😭 I’m low key tired of learning only about America like we have literally been learning about the civil war since elementary how are we still on this topic
I am 50+ black male in Chicago and this is about more than just one person...These types of things have been happening since before I was born. We now have video of it from cell phones....even that sometimes is NOT enough... Breonna Taylor in Kentucky was killed in her own house by police when they went to serve a no knock search warrant BUT got the wrong house. Another black persons life is ended and nothing you can do....
rwilsonpaladin i liked this to agree. Not that i actually like that this happens
What happened to Breonna happens to white people it just doesnt make the news. Anyone not aware of the total bias in news media coverage is a complete fool .
@@UrsaMajor5012 It does not happen to white people. The police officers that killed Breonna Taylor were corrupt cops and racists. The person that they were after was in police custody .
@@bebec5067 Have you ever heard of Tony Timpa?
Doesn't just happen to black people. Case in point is Justine Damond. She called the police to report a crime but was herself shot and murdered by a black police officer.

Alright, but Trump's not the problem here. Blaming him won't solve anything since this shit's been going on pre-Trump
Good, we don't want any of you here.
Oh, that lady in the LEE shirt said a true lot.
I've always thought that the people who tsk-tsk over all this have never actually been in a situation where they were so powerless that all they could do was lash out. Must be nice never to have gone through that, let alone never to have been _constantly_ abused as a matter of course for some dumbass reason that makes no sense whatsoever.
@@Serai3 i think most of us have understood we must unite against this. There is one slogan of the movement that really touched me: white silence is white guilt. And it is so true. I already understood that for myself, but i can really feel how there is a awareness going through society as a whole. Seeing this video hurt so many people no matter what color. Racists are a minority that truly deserves discrimination. And police brutality can affect everyone who is suspected criminal. So it generally affect black men because they are systemically suspected criminal. Its now obvious to the whole world and there is a opportunity to finally fix the systemic failures. Im watching from germany- we have issues here too. Im getting sick the racists beeing allowed in the parliament to speak. Their words are toxic, not only to the groups they discriminate but to society as a whole because they divide the people. In america someone like them unfortunately became president. I would start with this failure to fix. Think big.
@@geddinixan255 Changing the president will solve nothing. The entire system is rotten and has decayed beyond repair. All we can do is save up and flee to somewhere safer.
dont worry, we americans are as ashamed of our country as everyone outside the US... :((
@Surprised Pikachu its actually true, ethnostates are important for security and stability. Look at Japan, Iceland, Norway etc. That only applies to first world countries tho..
@Surprised Pikachu Sad but true
For those outside the states its the fact that we always thought you created the impossible. A nation of different people united under the same values. But it was just a dream. Something broke inside our hearts. Its painful but i think well get over it. But for those inside the states i see a dark future. With a racist president applying for "America's got dictator".
Wish you good luck you get rid of him soon!
Don't speak for WE Americans. I am not ashamed of my country.
I'm not ashamed and neither are most Americans. Just leave and go to North Korea, it's a workers paradise.
Yo that lady in the LEE shirt understands!
Right?! Hahaha she's speaking my language!
She was on point! The only one! Others had good points too but she was the only one that was very accurate and seemed like she really researched the topic and understood the movement.
Yeah, responding violence with violence and turn into a riot, good idea. Or how about this, do you remember Gandhi's legacy and how he got India independence? Peaceful protest should stay peaceful if they wanna call it a protest and not a riot
@@spoink3075 Peaceful protests can't stay peaceful if the police respond with violence. Are you listening or hearing what you want to hear?
@@spoink3075 She said if she was just peacefully protesting and the police responded with violence she would respond with violence too because she has to defend herself she said if police were attacking her she wouldn't just stand there and do nothing and I agree with her.
That woman said “if they used violence against me while I was peacefully protesting, I’d lose trust in my government. Where I live, a 22 year old who was peacefully protesting in the street died from complications from inhaling too much tear gas. Also, our state representative was protesting was pepper sprayed. My favorite us when there was a walk of officers and someone was protesting a couple meters away, clearly not threatening, and was shot with rubber bullets and was seriously wounded and had to be taken to care by other protesters.
What’s crazy is there is way worse stuff happening in Minneapolis (100 reporters and journalists injured! Including a journalist who was shot with a rubber bullet point blank in the eye) Dallas (just decided to roll through a neighborhood and shoot whoever they saw, no matter what they were doing and plenty of others.
Also, protests have been very peaceful- the people looting ARE NOT protesters! They are people who are just trying to act out and some of them are undercover cops inciting violence so their friends can use their toys against protestors.
We’ve been losing our trust in the government and this is making it snap.
SIS DID NOT STUTTERRRR
Ugh if i'm living in a country like that i would leave ASAP. My parent's generations always think of America as an escape or a paradise, my mother told my aunt that she should join their sister in america even though she hasnt finished college yet because "there are more opportunities there" and i told her NO, America is not what it seems from the movies that we watched that gives us illusions that its a perfect place, never trusted that. It's better for my aunt to be here than to be away in a country whose government that turns against their own l people, even the police who is a symbol of justice hurting the people they're supposed to protect. That's not the land of the free anymore slowly and slowly its starting to turn into a living hell
So what do you think about the so called peaceful protest when they shot a 8yr old black girl in a car. Or when people are stopping traffic and taking the drivers out to beat them? Or when protesters gang up on a guy who supported trump and beat him up? Why doesn’t blm ever talk about the deaths occurring every damn week within the black community. Children are dying!!!
I live in Minnesota and let me tell you, most of my age group (Gen Z) talk about just moving to Canada because of how bad everything here is. It’s literally so close and all of the stupid problems could be over, but we want to stay (well, “I” want to) because I feel like once a younger generation takes control of the government that it all could be so much better.

Rene Cordova Good thing your opinions are not used in a court of law
Rene Cordova that makes no sense
“How could Americans have such bad judgement?”
Because most Americans don’t actually look into who they vote for. They vote for who takes office based on whether those candidates are republican or democratic. Because in recent elections it was hard to pick who was a lesser evil. Because anyone who wants information has to actively look for it, because news sources don’t just report that info like they’re supposed to.
The whole voting system needs to change. Come on americans, we are looking forward to meet you back in the 21st century. This is really a chance for you.
Well technically the majority of Americans did have good judgement because Trump lost the popularity vote. It’s the stupid electoral college system that is what got him elected. But I agree that people don’t do nearly as much research on candidates as they should be.
Wasn't the system hacked into and the votes were changed or something?
blueraineee It was said that it was hacked but they just went oh well 🤷🏾♀️
No it's the electoral college. We voted for Hillary not trump.
I am a black woman in the United States. I have two black brothers and a black husband. Sadly, all of them have faced racial discrimination against the hands of police for doing absolutely nothing but driving or being inside of a store. I have had the heart-wrenching burden of explaining police brutality to my black son. Sadly, I expect him to be profiled too.
Not all U.S. police are like this, but police brutality and profiling against blacks and Hispanics happens too often and people are tired of it. Just tired.
I am touched by all of these Koreans’ responses and the overall international attention George Floyd has received,
Annoying Magpie exactly. some of the “good cops” are only speaking up now so they don’t get shamed by protesters. it’s gross.
So u have never faced anything here as a blk women
I've seen the video. I was shocked and speechless. My heart was crying for George. Those police has murdered him. They deserve to be punished. Hopefully all will get 'life sentences. The real question is what can we do to avoid such situations for the future? How can we change people and coming generations not to hate but to respect.
Beatrice Brown not true. Breonna Taylor a black women was shot 8 times to her death while sleeping in her bed. Police had broken into her home for a no knock arrest of a man that was already arrested and at the police station. It's been three months and no charges against the officers. She was also an EMT, an essential worker who worked throughout the pandemic. She had no criminal record, committed no violence. She was sleeping. So know your facts please. Also Sandra bland, Aiyana Stanley Jones, tanisha Anderson and charleena Anderson lyles just to name a few are all black women who were killed by the police. Black women are just routinely cast to the side and forgotten.
@@hevxhev Fact.
The majority of the people who are protesting are doing it peacefully but the news is portraying it differently
The news are for profit companies. They'll pummel out any "news" that will get them views. I'm really glad the internet has become what it is today, so people have access to more information outside of what we are provided on TV.
Yes, and it's also not showing some of the more aggressive actions of the police. A black grandma in my area was hit right between her eyes with a rubber bullet and it was literally lodged into her skull between her eyes. She was bleeding out there on the ground. This is NOT ok. They are not following the constitution in using physical means to break up protests. We have the right to protest safely.
exactly because violence is what interests people the most ig

Americans don't have the right to blame foreigners for not knowing the full context of the protest. Americans have not known ANYTHING about other countries' problems.

The comment we need
Americans are the most ignorant of issues outside of their country. I’m American and in public school we had two years of TEXAS history required (7th and 11th grade) and only one year of WORLD History. So stupid, texas history should be one week of history class at most and an elective. Most Americans can’t name more than a handful of countries.
I really hope we can become more knowledgeable about these issues in today’s world.
Gray Girl on the Water that is the purpose of the education we receive. The less we know the easier it is to deceive us with propaganda. The education system is merely one arm of the deception campaign to keep citizens docile while the elites continue to dismantle our rights and freedoms.
Blacklivesmatter. I know that all non-white races are discriminated in the U.S, but discrimination against black people need to be addressed before it is too late. As an Asian in the U.S., I definitely experienced racism and kids made fun of me, but racism against black people is completely different...
Of course, I hope that one day racism against Asians will be gone, too. Please don't forget that many Asians were being attacked after COVID-19 outbreak...

They understood this was mainly the catalyst as they realized through the protest that racial discrimination is still a thing in the US (escept for the ones who already had visited cause they already had experienced it).
They understand but like many born after the civil rights movement they thought it was a relic of the past and greatly diminished.
they do understand that though, what do you think the japanese did to them?
What about waking up from the reality that african-american babies are aborted because of democrat policies????

The other people interviewed seem to think the protests are violent. Once again, that's media overall paying most attention to the violence because that obviously is better for ratings and attention. Majority of the protests ARE peaceful, if anything its MOSTLY the cops beating the crap out of peaceful protesters.
All of these opinions were well voiced.
Them: I think they should protest peacefully rather than riot
Interviewer: What if they were but the police were violent
Them: I’d be violent back
EXACTLY
Being violent and going too far isn't going to help the situation because now people arw stealing and burning stuff. But speaking up and trying to stop someone from hurting someone else even further is going to help the situation more or people will just see you as a joke. Riots really didn't need to happen it really could've been avoided.
pp head agreed, the riots are ridiculous. The police didn’t get violent at peaceful protests, that’s bs
Orange Bear have you actually gone outside to see a protest? Because i have and the police 100% get violent first. Just look up how the police broke up Elijah Mclains memorial. ACAB
pp head Actually, no there’s not a way for riots to be avoided when police are hurting people for no reason at peaceful protest.
Orange Bear Police were mostly the only ones being violent. Stop listening to what they show on tv and go yourself. Protest are still going on today and they are peaceful. Why? Bc police aren’t attacking anymore.
"How could Americans have such bad judgment." Well 53 million of us didn't.

When I lived in Korea I worked as a english tutor. Working in the industry I was amazed at the racism against black teachers. I saw many institutions hiring under qualified white college students instead of over qualified black teachers. Also there are many asians from less developed countries who work in Korea illegally and are badly discriminated against. Being a Korean and knowing the culture made me feel uncomfortable listening to these people talking about racism when racism is so prevalent in Korea...... I just thought it was important to share.
You crazy!!! 😶 Daring to write something negative about Koreans and Korea? That's forbidden on AB
Jayson sksksks the sarcasm-
Same in USA bro
You took words out of my mouth. SPOT ON!!!
it's because they think the BLM movement is 'cool' and trendy (cuz perhaps BTS and other celebrities are donating $$ to BLM) but the reality is koreans of all ages are racist towards people of darker skin colors or from less developed economies/cultures.
I would find it more amazing if koreans also spoke up about anti blackness in korea as well... I've had some disappointing conversations with koreans recently regarding this. They called me racist while continuing to tell me I know nothing because I'm American. (I'm also Korean....) The ignorance runs deep in our people. It would be interesting if you covered something on koreans having a prejudice against foreigners as well.
This is my issue with the video too. Juding the US for something that happens in every country. I think that rather than judging the US, they should do what France and other nations did and protest against discrimination in their own countries. This happens everywhere, its just more apparent in US because we have many different cultures.
Jani Ra I’m glad they’re standing with the movement and showing support tbh. That’s always needed. But I hope that leads those people to look at their own government and see where they can improve
Percival Hans excuse me what?
Percival Hans WHO CARES LMAO. Why are people so psychotic about racial purity? let cultures blend?? im sure if everyone was mixed anyways wed live a lot more peacefully
Percival Hans ???? Idk what u think ur getting at with this. Yes many countries have racial issues and its bc theyre prejudice/ racist. Literally thats it lmfao. Its bc no ones taken the time to try to learn how to coexist
We have been peacefully protesting for years and years and years.
And no significant change right why? That's because rascism is intrinsically embedded into the capitalistic model. Solution? Get rid of the system plus educate correctly on anthropological history and rascism/discrimination will eventually be phased out, its that simple. So the protest from everyone should be CAPITALISM MUST GO! All the best.
Andre Perez capitalism actually weeds our racism because if companies hire people based on skin color and not skill level the company will fail to its competitors. That’s why there aren’t too many black NFL quarterbacks and there are zero white running backs ... for example. That’s why ceos are mostly whites and Asians .. and NBA is 85% black.

Breaks my heart. In less than 3 yrs we have dropped from a powerful country to a mess of a country. Not cool at all!
Korea really looked at America and said “nvm” dang
i mean, can you blame them?
In case some people think that these Korean citizens' comments about some violence becoming a necessary evil is about sympathizing with looting, they are not. Korea's had plenty of very violent protests in the 70s and 80s against the dictatorship, but the one thing that was for sure was that it was strictly *protestors vs. the authority* ; there was never looting of civilian businesses and homes. The concept of looting during riots/protests is considered absurd in Korea because it is absolutely counterproductive to what the protests are seeking to achieve. I only point this out because I've seen pro-looters take comments like these and claim 'See, what we're doing is understandable, even _____ says so!' and that is so, SO, not true.
Yes exactly
People need to watch the documentary LA 1992. It’s talks about the LA riots because of the Rodney King case. He suffered worst police brutality and was alive to talk about it he beg people to stop looting and rioting because it was not justice for him.
The problem isn’t police brutality or racism against blacks It’s a culture war. It’s a destruction of US culture and their moral values.
George Floyd knew the cop that knee him. George Floyd tested positive for Covid-19 and has many underline health issues. The cop was charged with 3rd degree murder in the fastest case they ever seen before a full investigation. And yet people are still mad. BLM is an Organization that makes millions from these protest. Their goal is to get Equity from the government and political power. They don’t care about black peoples. If they do they would stop the violence in black community but instead they increase it by destroying the police department.
Also every time there is a race riots it destroys those black community putting them in more economic turmoil and violence. Making them jobless and homeless. There is a huge gang problem in black communities. Many criminals use the protest as an excuses to loot and destroy and kill cops. Random innocent cops including black cops got killed over a drive by. Also anarchist started the fires burning down building. Hoping to destabilize the government. Police has been under funded for years. Many police department that has nothing to do with those cases get attacked. Now stupid people want to disband the police.
@@dawnssful exactly.
@@CrimsonEclipse I think I understand what you're saying. I believe that people are using the BLM movement as an excuse to loot and steal. Thus doesn't help the cuase as on American TV it has been stated black people are the looters. This doesn't help because it makes black people seem bad and puts the protests on vain. It's really terrific (in a bad way) and I hope people will get justice soon!
CrimsonEclipse the protest/looting/riots is a destruction of the US culture and their moral values?? 😂😂 wth. Police brutality is not part of the US culture, and it definitely will not and does not portray our moral values. Maybe it portrays YOUR moral values as a US citizen, maybe you are for the killing of many black people and maybe you are for police brutality but this has nothing to do with our culture. THE COP knew George Floyd and still killed him, and whether or not he was tested positive for Covid-19, he could’ve survived and lived. But guess what killed him, THE COP. It doesn’t matter what health problems he had, he was suffocated for 8 minutes straight. Resulting in his death. That is the truth.
I am from africa and I feel so uncomfortable and racism when my wife and me were touring south korea.. i just can't explain in words that how much hated i feel my public. At every place when ever someone see my wife or me they were like "Eww africans".
We once decided to go to club together but the bouncers doesn't allow us to enter and even say "No Black allowed ". When I called police they were also supporting them and asked us to go somewhere else we can't do anything.
Sorry korea but these protests are just for world. We had really bad experience in korea.
Yeah, totally understand you. South Korea has a bad rep for not being accepting of black people, even worse those from Africa. Discrimination whether violent or not is just unacceptable, it must stop.
sohi kutt
I am sorry to hear of your experience. I hope you and your wife will have a better time in Japan or mainland china.
You probably went to North Korea
I understand I’ve been to places that make me feel that way to however it’s not fair to judge a whole country for those people obviously just like the other places around the world there are good and bad places
Space Aids • 400 years ago you can’t go to North Korea. Even if you could who want to go there. And I’m pretty sure he’s talking about South Korea because there aren’t modern things in like clubs
I feel that not everything is being reported over there. I feel like the second last guy who talked about protesters protecting stores from looters did his research beyond what the others saw. I think if maybe they knew why the protests evolved into violent ones then it would've been a different story. The protests started peacefully but for the most part it's unprovoked police officers, looters and racists that are initiating the violence to destroy the movement. Also knowing the history could've played a big factor but I digress we're in different countries so ofc we wouldn't know beyond what we're exposed to unless we actively look for it.
The problem is deeper than this. There are layers of problem. Media and people confuse rioters and looters from protesters. Those are just opportunists who wants an excuse to riot.
Another problem it’s a cultural problem and also media problems.
The US face race riots all the time. Every time a black person killed by a cop people go loot and riots and burn down the city. I live in a city that faces riots all the time and the murder is done in another city or state. The earliest one I can remember was the LA riot with Rodney King incident. He faced police brutality worst than George but he lived long enough to beg people to stop the violent riots and told people to get long. Over 60 people killed in the riot and 3000 injured. The Roof Top Korean started protecting their community. My city is in Oakland, CA and the LA riots caused our community to Riot and burnt down small businesses, Like Asian markets. I remember several, store permanently closed down. I was a kid. But every time the media make a black person killed by a white person or look like a white person. A riot happens in my city.
People don’t understand the psychology of the issues. People are taught people are racist so they only see racism. It’s build in their language when someone don’t agree with them or give them what they want you are automatically a racist.
Also I have witness Antifa and anarchist over the years also trying to start riots knowing fully well how easy it can start. Just like George Floyd case. The cop that killed him knew George. The other 3 cop with him. One is Asian, one is black, and another white guy. But some how it’s about racism. Some how everyone has to suffer because some people are angry.
So you're saying the only reason they know about it is probably because some of the stores that were looted are Korean owned? Is that the same reason for every country such as France and Australia? Idk how you came up with the conclusion about learning about the protest into learning about racist stereotypes but no. Who's asking who to learn about irrelevant info? Must I spell out that the media in other countries may report and explain things to a varying degree? They only know as much as what's reported so I can't blame them for not knowing but if they researched into it then they would have a deeper understanding.
CrimsomEclipse I agree. Countries will use other countries to cover up their own wrongdoings all to say theirs is better!

Hey Asian Boss! Thank you for holding this interview. I'd also be interested in hearing the thoughts of the older generation if you would be willing to do another interview in the future. As a Korean-American millennial, I know the racism is still very prevalent in my parents' and grandparents' generation, and I think it's important to spread awareness and continue to educate older Koreans on this issue.

As a Chinese, I can tell you most of us are calling out the hypocrisy of the American government: They've been so vocal about police violence and possible military interference in Hong Kong, but now it shows American police are the same, if not even worse, and of course there's Trump suggesting the possibility of military interference and 'dominance'.
Corti Corti the only reason the elites in America care at all about Hong Kong is that they will no longer be able to do business there without Chinese government interference. Their response to protestors make the Chinese response look like a kid with a slingshot. I’m honestly surprised Trump doesn’t have tanks and humvees rolling down Washington DC already.
@@Khaab00 exactly, the trump supporters don't even care. I honestly don't like the Chinese government and I want Hong Kong to be free. But yeah, they really do not care

3 things: 1) I think the conversation could have been pushed further, by discussing the treatment of other races, specifically black people and black culture, in Korea. Do they know any black people? Have they ever witnessed racism here in Korea? What are their prejudices or perceptions of black people? Do they think it's okay for the korean music and fashion industry to profit off of black culture? Are they aware that there are no anti-discrimination laws in South Korea? How do they feel about korean businesses that forbid foreigners from entering? Do they perceive korean comedians in blackface or cartoon characters like Michael from Dooly to be representations of racism? So so so many more questions to be asked. 2) Disappointing to see so many people center themselves in this discussion of BLM. Seems many people are sympathetic but also miss the point. Not Asian Boss' fault but important to note. 3) Please provide links for organizations to donate to like you do for so many other causes.
100%, it's important that we reflect on this in our own countries not just the US: it shouldn't *get* to the stage where people have to die before we consider police brutality and systemic racism a problem. It's very easy to talk about injustices when you're not talking about the ones in your own country.
@@Han-rd6pu Michael may be "tanned" but he is designed after imagery that mocks black people. If you search on the internet "blackface in korea" there are many many images of this type of thing done for Gag Concert and other shows. In my question I asked about foreigners in general being banned, but for black people specifically: when hagwons post advertisements for jobs, many publicly state that they want white people only, and it has been common knowledge among foreigners that white people are preferred for almost all jobs. In general, there are some clubs and restaurants in Seoul known among foreigners that only accept koreans. Now due to COVID, more businesses are openly banning foreigners. Pictures of "no foreigners" signs have been shared amongst foreigners, it is not known to korean news outlets. However Yogurpresso apologized on Instagram because a cafe owner put up a sign banning foreigners.
@@Han-rd6pu it has long been observed that white foreigners are more readily employed than darker skinned foreigners with the same qualifications, 'white' and 'black' are *not* considered the same: you only have to look at the various examples of blackface, stereotyping and cultural appropriation to know that a discriminatory mindset has been absorbed from Western countries. As someone of Korean descent living abroad I personally do not see any validity in your claim that we somehow suffer particular discrimination from black people ( not 'blacks', btw, that's offensive).

@Cumulus Humilis after being systematically oppressed for around 400 years, the black community is now voicing out their stance and want for justice against the government, and what are they faced with? tear gas and rubber bullets from the police officers. of course they're going to respond back with violence because they were peacefully protesting until the police initiated violence. you cannot tell how the black community can respond to violence against their people after such a long time. and yes, looting is wrong, but it's not the protesters looting. it's either white supremacists or people taking advantage of the protests for their own gain. plus, most of the looting is of big corporations that can build new stores, while most protesters stay away from looting smaller local businesses. there are videos of protesters begging these rioters to stop attacking the local businesses. please look through the situation through the black community's point of view before you go out and say this.

Xanthippus many of the people looting are random people not involved with the protests; most are white, and almost all if not all of them go to places they know there will be a protest and loot independantly. They do not represent the black people fighting for their rights, they do not represent the allies fighting for an end to systemic racism, and they should not be used as an excuse to be uncaring about the brutal attacks by the police and military made on peaceful protesters (multiple deaths, countless beatings, and hundreds of unlawful arrests).
That's what you get when your police force is made up more by losers, racists and other undertrained scum rather than properly trained professionals.
The curiosity and compassion of these folks' responses is something many others could learn from.
I really liked this interview. I wished they asked a question about the Asian officer watched the whole thing happen
was the guy standing there korean or do you just say this bc you think asians all belong together?
flossy . Asian isn’t a race lmao. It’s offensive to group them.
She did ask
@@remy1518 Yet somehow it's not offensive to group all white people and black people together? Right...
Asian officer was not the only race who was there. Why single him out on his race?
I was curious to see what other countries were thinking about this...any other non-US people watching?
( I’m from the US myself actually and just came back from protesting :) )
Edit: ok so I didn’t expect so many replies but I’ll try my best...
1) This ISN’T my first protest (won’t be the last) but from what I’ve noticed...the protests without looting haven’t seen any media. Like yesterday, there was 0 looting and 0 vandalism because it was organized by BLM and that’s the message they wanted spread...I only saw one news car and many of friends didn’t even see see this on the news. (There were also speakers so we wanted to be respectful) However, we did see police, national guard, and several helicopters and drones (they had riot gear too)
Oh yeah, no I haven’t looted or destroyed anything and there’s videos of protesters trying to stop it...
“Fun” fact: there’s also videos of police destroying their own cities and equipment.
2) It’s been discovered the police officer that killed Floyd actually knew him prior to the killing...they had worked together
3) To the person who said “We have our own problems” in no way was I trying to belittle anyone or be mean; I just wanted to get opinions from everyone (even if they don’t agree)
4) I forgot who asked, but yes. This “cop” (his name is Derek Chauvin) had a record and was 1 of 4 cops that have been charged in the case; yes, they were charged but NOT convicted (as of now at least.) But even so this just one case.
5) Yes, the movement is BLM but it’s also a humanity issue regarding systematic racism...there’s a long line of people being oppressed, but 1) Ots best to to have focused efforts and 2) I’m willing to fight for anyone who wants to be treated simply as a human.
I'm from the UK. Everyone here is horrified and protesting in solidarity.
We are horrified in brazil, the media took the protesters side as well and the hate on trump is growing by the minute
I'm from Mexico and everyone is very angry about it, specially because we experience the same (or similar) things
Italy here. We're horrified too, but not surprised: we knew how messed up is the situation in the USA about racism
I'm from Peru in South America and believe me that everyone here's horrified with what's happening there even the elders (who doesnt know so much about technology or social media). Its such a big demonstrations of how much empathy people can have even though we speak different languages and have different cultures.
4:01 13:22 very beautiful and woke people, god bless them for thinking like people should be right now, we all should be learning, not only Americans
Racism is everywhere, racism is not a US only problem, and it's huge everywhere.
And looting is NOT done by peaceful protestors, no matter what happened at the scene, they started peaceful they got tear gased and rubber bullet shot, Even celebrities got injuries, a peaceful protestor got blind because he was fighting for his rights!
All these protests are being done by dumb ignorant people who listen to liberal media
@@nathanalvarado289 ikr, after all what is the murder of an unarmed, unaggressive man by the police? It's only the 489277297th isolated case
nathan alvarado what do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement and why? I’m genuinely curious. I used to be indoctrinated like you; I wanted Trump, I followed people like Lauren Southern and Paul Joseph Watson, I hated BLM. But those people are master manipulators; they know how to frame issues, how to word their thoughts, in a way that unconsciously forces a seed into your mind that they’re right and anyone they talk about is wrong. They get you to hate the “liberal media” by showing you editted clips of some bad eggs and misrepresent issues in a way which is just vague enough and strawman filled that they can avoid you realizing their deception and keep you listening. Don’t listen to them, listen to the people who are hurting; watch the videos, see the truth: law enforcement is the offender. There are dozens of videos from all different angles of multiple protests capturing the moment a peaceful protest is turned violent by police blasting attendees with tear gas and rubber bullets.
@@nathanalvarado289 indeed... leftist leave their cocoon... 😂😂
@@emilyvalentine4565 As a black individual, I'll take a shot at answering your question about BLM. Movements have good people and bad eggs...just like your example of conservative media showing clips against liberals, liberals show clips of bad eggs of conservatives and edit it together to manipulate people. BLM lost me when they presented the list for white people to give up their assets to a brown person. It makes the collective think we blacks are ALL oppressed and poor. Honey, my parents worked hard, I work hard; I've never been oppressed and never been poor. The BLM sends a message to the world that it should give us a privilege we can't get on our own. BLM is the very thing that educates a population of all races that says you can't have what the white man or woman have. It's B.S. The very thing that is meant to empower ends up doing more damage, and educates people within America and outside our nation to believe we will never be able to have anything good. It not only makes people see us as victims, but ends up a self-fulfilling prophecy giving us a victimhood mentality. You can't rely on the news -- conservative or liberal media. It's just talking bias heads. You go out there and discuss issues with your community without making a white man kneel at your feet or apologize, and you'll discover ya'll are living in 2020 not 1750s.
As a black person, I really appreciate this video and the way that Koreans communicated their ideas. It’s amazing to see how simple it is for them to see a wrong, and how sad it is that a lot of people in our country can’t empathize in the same way. I was already a fan of Asian Boss, but now I’m an even bigger one.
The death of George Floyd was disgusting and unacceptable. However, he was convicted of many criminal offenses and even held a gun to a pregnant women while he robbed her house. He was also high on meth before he died.
If you search up looting videos, it’s mostly black people who are responsible. BLM is something I never supported, but I do support coming down on this corrupted system of policing.
VoidX That a damn lie tf you talking about... stop trying to make that man look like he had a reason to die.
rachel Smith I’m not. However he’s not the best role model either. I’m not lying, all you have to do is find the truth yourself...it’s not hard.
@@aus-li mostly black ppl...yeah okay🙄and why dont u support blm?? do u even understand the movement? the way u said it sounded racist as hell🤦🏾♀️
The last interviewee hit the nail on the head, this is not just a U.S. problem, its a global problem.
I am embarrassed to say that I am American and for who we have in the highest seat in the nation, not everyone voted for that individual. Please show the peaceful protests, not just the violence that is getting press. I have been a part of very peaceful demonstrations in my State. I'm also sorry to Asians and Asian Americans who have been discriminated against due to COVID in my country because of ignorance. We need these thoughtful individuals here. Thank you for doing these interviews.
Ty so much for this! As a black woman and veteran ty! ❤️
When one young lady said “it’s discrimination of a person” she is right but also wrong. Discrimination toward a person in general, we’re all human beings so yes, it’s bad either way. It’s be one thing if it was happening to everyone, but it’s not. I’ve seen a lot of my non POCs (people of color) friends speak on this, and they all say the same thing “I never noticed, I never had those experiences” and they’re right 9 times out of 10 they never will. Our constitution in which our country was basically built from the ground up on.. is supposed to mandate that EVERY citizen in America gets treated equally. Right to a fair trial, freedom of religion, freedom to protest however we want, right to bear arms. It’s specific but also broad in some cases. Like the right to bear arms which is in the 2nd amendment. It doesn’t say how many guns you’re allowed to have or bear.. or even own for that matter. Most places are extremely gun heavy and very gun supportive, which can lead to a lot of issues when people only care about making a quick buck, and don’t pay attention to WHO they’re selling guns to...
But, like I said it’d be one thing if discrimination was happening to everyone, but it’s not. It’s mostly and pretty much always happening to POCs, majority black or African Americans. That one young man saying his bosses “tell him to be wary of certain folk” it’s true, it happens. I believe the shop owner where George Floyd made his last stop, before he was killed, talked about this in an NPR interview. A lot of corner stores, or small shops, even large ones, sometimes they teach their employees to be wary of “specific” people..or it’s inherently known to those who work there that someone who’s a POC walks in, you either shadow them, and make it seem like you’re not watching them, or you’re instructed to do so by your managers. I’ve been instructed to to shadow people as well when I used to work retail.
We get labeled as thugs, or criminals based on our skin color, or whatever we happen to wear, or simply doing nothing at all. Trayvon Martin was a kid, shot dead years ago because he was wearing a hoodie and “looked suspicious” a neighborhood vigilante just shot him.. and pretty much got off Scott free and is still roaming around free.
Recently we had the case of Ahmaud Arbery, who was literally going for a jog in a random neighborhood. A retired cop and his son immediately called 911, said they were gonna shadow him, because there had been a string of break-ins in their neighborhood, they followed Arbery with their truck, cornered him, and shot him dead in the street. There was a 3rd person who recognized the son and father and followed them as well.. recorded the WHOLE event... and never released the footage. Arbery was killed In February of this year. He did commit any break-ins.. or rob any houses....America didn’t see his last moments til 2 months later... 2 months...because someone whom I believe worked at the precinct nearby had enough of everyone burying this info, and making themselves out to be heroes.. he leaked it.
Even more recent, before George Floyd there was a woman by the name of Breonna Taylor. She was an EMT who worked on the front lines helping Covid-19 patients... her and her boyfriend were in their apartment sleeping.. when 3 officers decided to barge into their home and start shooting it up. Breonna was killed in her bed. Why? The officers though they were going to arrest a dangerous suspect, whom they didn’t find out til later they ALREADY had in custody. The officers did not announce themselves, they did not knock.. they just barged right in Breonna and her boyfriend’s apartment at NIGHT. One of the officers however did get injured by Breonna’s boyfriend because he was defending his home from whom he thought were burglars. He had a gun and shot at one of them, he was also licensed to have a gun, and he was defending his home and his girlfriend. Breonna’s boyfriend was COMPLETELY in the right.. none of the officers followed proper procedures or protocols.. what so ever.
Things like this keep happening to black people, like myself, and other POCs, that’s why we protest, most of the protests going on in America are peaceful. Some were not, and quickly turned into riots. Initially MANY people were angry about Floyd’s death, rightfully so, we’re tired of this happening and nothing being done. So people did burn and break things in many cities..at the beginning the general consensus was “we’re hurting...we’ve tried to take a knee, we’ve tried to talk, and all it did was get met with more hate, people telling us to quit complaining, and we got called unpatriotic for not staying silent. So if breaking things gets people’s attention SO BE IT” Now it’s calmed down a little, we have a lot of prominent people in the black community trying to stop the destruction, talk to young folk, sometimes the riots are instigated by the cops themselves, white supremacy groups who want some of the protestors to be pegged as the bad guys. Cops have tried to run over peaceful protestors... our own president, when things go SO bad...because for a while they weren’t even thinking of arresting or charging Floyd’s murderers..our own president wanted to recently and probably still, wants to enlist the help from the ENTIRE military to stop everyone.
I say everyone because yesterday he pretty much issued an order to violently force peaceful protesters to move out of the way so he could have a clear path to “address the nation” and then take time for a bible photo op, that ALOT of religious heads did NOT like at all. If he doesn’t care about peaceful protestors he doesn’t care about ANYONE.
All we can do now, is wait til November to hopefully vote him out... because I know a LOT of us.. can’t take 4 more years of this.. I served this country and swore an oath.. but honestly I’m at the point of my life where I don’t feel safe in my own country... and depending on how elections go in November I’m seriously considering giving up my America citizenship completely and living somewhere else. We just can’t take it anymore...
I felt this in my heart, mind, AND soul.
This was a very good comment
Amen, sister! I couldn't agree more with what you said
I was with you until the end since I don't see how voting Trump out is going to help this situation. I don't think Biden would be very helpful either.
I am so sorry that the young woman experienced discrimination in the US. As a United States citizen please accept my apology. Thank you Asian Boss for being such an informative UA-cam channel.
Really lol feel sorry for everyone’s discrimination in the us not just hers this country sucks
This was a great video. I love how the guy in the glasses and hat went out and did his own research on the protests instead of just believing the media 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
im korean american we need to all come together embracing each other for our similarities and differences leaving nobody behind. peace and love. Trust God, clean house, help others.
clean house? what? 😂😂. but yes i agree. the golden rule.
@@ThomasWong54 ''White guy with Korean skin.'' So Korean?
Why should we trust an imaginary being? And clean house? I'm sorry what?
I totally agree but what does a clean house have to do with anything??
@@sb8095 for many people like us, he's not an imaginary being. We know that people who fear God do not commit discrimination or violence against any race because he loves everyone equally and doesn't choose one race to be superior to another.
I'm very interested in how the Japanese think of this issue... I think it would be so, so very different from Korea. I love Japan, but they need to bring out the honne more, and educate themselves on world issues. You can have an opinion and be respectful.
True!!
they’re currently protesting in Japan for BLM!
They actually protested recently for police brutality after a turkish man was handled roughly by japanese police and THEN they saw th blm movement and protested aswell! Lovely people
You can only have an opinion as long as it isn't against your ideology. I'm not from the US but from what I've seen of the American UA-cam Community its always left vs right and no one tries to understand each other. The right always just shouts "stupid libtards, facts don't care about feelings" while the left labels every right-winger a nazi lel
@@acedia4454 Exactly. People nowadays are extremists with extreme believes. No one wants to listen, just scream and more scream...
im so glad that korea is also aware of this issue and im so relieved that many people understand the suffers of black people and everyone its truly a blessing to have good people with great hearts in this world thanks to father and mother.
I am overwhelmed by the sense of unity that the world is operating on, in relation to George Floyd's murder. A large amount of us are on the same page. Especially as a Black person-- this is a hard time, but, my heart is super full.
@dam dam you're obviously a troll. But let me say this. Every race has criminals. Evil is not limited to a race. Or else only certain countries would have crimes. Many European countries are plagued with crime and they are 98-100% white. So no. Secondly your skin colour does not make you any different, we are all human and that's proved by science. No go look in the mirror, realize you're digusting and then change.
It's unfortunate how they view the protesters as the ones being violent when in actuality it's the cops that insight violence on the peaceful protesters. Not only this, but the looters are not involved with the movement, as most of them are looting under the cover of chaos or are undercover police. It's nice to see that they all care, but it's not that we don't want to protest peacefully. We're trying. Even if a protest does turn violent, you have to remember that black people in America have faced injustice for 400 years now. Americans have tried protesting peacefully. So, even if people do start rioting, it's just 400 years worth of anger and injustice and being unheard being released.
exactlyyy
I love how well spoken koreans are when expressing their views. Even if we had totally different opinions of a topic, I could see a discussion happening instead of a fight
I saw someone say they are breaking into Louis Vuitton and Apple store and looting because they are the most racist brands. Then why do they loot their items and use them. They are consuming the brands items therefore helping the brand. I think some people are taking advantage of the situation.
I read an article about the Apple phones that were stolen during break-in and those display phones are unusable, the usable ones were under heavy security to prevent smash & grab theft.
@@riizeboyz_ I see how alot of white supremacists loot these Nike's, Apple and other stores.
They are! Some of these looters even destroy their own communities too just to exploit a tragedy. I've attended some of these protest and saw what some of the people's intentions were.
So you saying looting has to stop instead of KILLING BLACK PEOPLE HAS TO STOP? I think you prioritizing the wrong thing. Property can be replaced and got insurance but lost innocent live don’t got insurance and can never be replaced.
@@adamzz9908 woah woah woah where did you get that idea from the comment above. Person never said any such thing.
As a 17 year old black girl this really touched my heart. I love Korean TV shows and music and I’m so happy that if I ever go to visit I’ll feel safe around people who are understanding of our differences and respectful about them 💕 love from London x
Just remember some people say will what they want you to hear.
15:00 well said 👏 and highly appreciated
I appreciate that this is being discussed and the empathy of what's going on here in America. Being black in America is so hard, and we're fighting daily for our rights and against institutionalized systemic racism. Protesting can be done peacefully, but when Trump is threatening with violence, and telling the cops to shoot the protesters, how can you remain peaceful? Thank you Asian Boss, and for the Koreans that participated.
Don't believe everything they tell you on main stream media. Specifically from US
Is it not the governor of the state who is supposed to take the right decisions about this problem ? Trump is not the problem it seems since he has no power to do the job of the governor. And is it not a democrat state where this is happening ? So, where is the logic in this : democrats pretending to be fair and not really adressing the problem ?
Please, just don't fall for one side agains another just because everyone is bashing at a president who happens not to be liked by the deep state. Please, don't take him as a relevant target just because the mainstream medias is piloring him day and night. Don't you find this story a bit strange ?
Ask yourself : Is it not that someone is searching to use the black population to create mess and chaos ? Do you think black people will win something out of this, except being the tool they will use to achieve their dirty program ?
Be aware and look for the real truth. Not the one they feed you. Oh. And I'm black, by the way. And I don't particularly appreciate Trump either. But you are missing the point if you go after him. And that's a fact.
@@armealoeil Do you actually think I don't know this? I'm black as well and I didn't blame everything on trump. If you notice I stated institutionalized systemic racism. I kept my comment light and positive, and that was it. I don't need you to write a narrative as if you know what I'm thinking and not thinking.
I hope they don’t just sympathize this and say it’s a US incident. They also need to apply to the blacks or any other minority in Korea and treat them without any racial discrimination.
Some are not even allowed in the clubs....they do that to white people too. The younger generation is more open minded. But they also need to be more accepting of other ethnicities.
THANK YOU
Yup practice what you preach right? As bad a this was, I think it shook up the world...
@@lindavel43 Those foreigner bans at clubs are usually directed at US soldiers. It's gotten better these past few years ever since they've moved out of Seoul but if you've ever been to a club in places like Itaewon and Hongdae in the past you'd basically be guaranteed to see at least one fight caused by soldiers every single night and other things like them harassing women. The vast majority of white and black people in Korea hated them too because they gave a bad name to them.
trueee
What I would like the people outside of the US to understand is that almost all of the protesters are peaceful. We have hate groups that like to go in and start destroying things. Some of the rioters may join in but most don't.
That’s a problem, criminals are taking advantage of the situation and causing so much destruction...
The vast majority don’t want the violence, and we need to find a way to keep it peaceful.
If they can understand the black lives matter movement then kpop idols should be able to understand things like cultural appropriation or black face. I’m a huge kpop fan and I have been for the past decade but it always hurts to see kpop groups act in such a negative way towards black culture and then have fans back them up and say they don’t know any better. That’s just some food for thought.
Well I believe that many Koreans and others learned from the Floyd case something about African American culture and history and I hope they dwell in these information more and deeper BUT I also can totally understand why people who are not in African American society don't necessarily know about black symbol and history. Foreigners won't also not necessarily know about Korean history and racist symbols, you know? So yeah, hope people get more educated not bound to boundaries.
They are just being FAKE. it is easy to say you support BLM on social media but we don't know them in person. They could or could not be racist but I am seeing so many celebrities post that they support the movement even though they have done questionable things in the past. I know people grow and can change but highly unlikely. Many are pretending to be "woke" just so they can maintian their followers.
@@Kris2Chan u right
the kpop industry is a controversial topic itself. I definitely agree in all points, the world has never been so connected as now via countries, religion, race, culture, etc. they should know.
Finally other countries and places are reacting to this❤️✊🏾
They're protests all over the world.
kat yet police kill twice as many whites and it doesn’t even make the news.
the girl with the lee shirt and her friend,, they got common sense. they know whats up
Idk if the translation is correct (I’m pretty sure it is tho).She said “The man could’ve been a dad with children”. He was. His daughter is 6 years old and won’t ever see her father again, her mother is now a widow and will never get to see him again also. Just clearing that up for some Koreans or passerbys.
This 51 years old Filipina American Grandma from San Pablo, California sad that people just see on side
😢
What's the other side
