I was thinking the same. I knew she looked familiar! But I can't remember what channel

@@KitKatMEOWWW right?? I remembered her helping with a biracial little girl’s hair. I just searched “helping to do my biracial korean hair” and I found her. her name is rianna and she is on a Korean YT show called giggle.

I think her name is Rihanna? Thought I saw her in some hair videos- particularly with @diannainkorea & her twins

here in Korea, at least, there's a law about prohibiting discrimination unlike Japan, China so basically Korean companies can not discriminate anybody so if you work for a Korean company, you can have the same right(salary, welfare, etc) with Koreans but i can't tell you it works in every company cuz there are a few of bad companies that break the laws so sometimes it's on the news. however, most of companies are okay so my answer is where you're from is not important but the important thing is how capable you are

Yeah I agree with it too!👍🏼

@@binnie8559 NO YOU dont have, im from puerto rico i lived in korea for 7years tho i only dealt minimal racism in korea, but i noticed philipinos and other south east asian face discrimination in korea

@@binnie8559 In Japan we won't be treating people from South Korea any better or worse than those from Taiwan, China, the Philippines, HK, Malaysia, etc. Last I heard, there were nearly half a million illegal workers in South Korea, and I highly doubt laws or welfare system offers protection to many of them.

@@yo2trader539 yeah, there are a lot of illegal workers in Korea, which become social issues. especially, Thais. half of them just disappear after their visa expired. they even protest to live longer in Korea. of course, for illegal workers, it's hard to be legally protected so it has become a problem but think about that, if those illegal workers are not treated well, why would they protest for living longer in Korea? Koreans have never forced them to work here as illegal workers but they do. it's not Korean's fault

I realized that too. As someone going to a rather unlikely "foreigner" city (Daegu) i see that many people who come to Korea compare the big city life in Seoul to their homecountry and maybe countryside. If you really want to experience Korean Culture you gotta go to a smaller city which isnt that tourist-heavy.

Not really their fault doe, societies usually are hesitant to accept foreigners due to language, cultural, appearance differences. But as you said, not just in Korea.

That’s literally how society works 😂

Agree. I think in Warsaw people are exactly the same like in Seoul.

It’s a honest mistake any foreigner makes, you know how many people say New York when reference America lol… outside of America it’s very common that NY is the perception standard of America

@@nashambenyisrael7689 absolutely! Fair to add the word honest to mistake here. No harm intended.

That’s probably mostly true. As for the materialistic part, I don’t know enough about Korean culture, but I feel as if some nationalities are generally more materialistic than other cultures. For example, the Chinese come off very materialistic to me while Japanese, known for their minimalism, not so much IMO.

I agree. People mistaken Paris as a good example of how French people are.

Haeppy! He has his own channel. Funny and very honest in how he thinks.

@@eileenhathaway1674 Oh what‘s his channel name please?

Got it .. haeppy 😅 thank you 😊

Definitely . Materialistic for sure. I wouldnt even say korea is necessarily racist or sexist, its more judgment on status. If youre rich, they like you.

Funny how foreigners shame Koreans for being materialistic when they themselves only seem to be interested in moving to rich and developed countries.

​@@Cxs1a3Well, I mean, it's true that they have some bad looks, but that's not all.. I don't have to defend Koreans, but it's a good country and most of them are nice and humble... otherwise, I would have gotten out of here. Most foreigners here have a lot of Thai and Vietnamese, and almost all of them are illegal immigrants or work in the sex industry... I don't think Koreans can be blamed for the bad perception of them because the sex industry itself is illegal here. Anyway, I think it's not a bad place to live for foreigners who are white or from Western countries.

I was born in Tanzania, but due to financial difficulties, I had to leave my home country at such a young age. I had a hard time in Europe and Asia to find a job. So, actually, I don't have a completely fluent language. I can speak German, French, English, Japanese, and Korean to some extent but... Korea and Japan have similar economic levels. Both countries are in the ranks of advanced countries. You can find out by typing gdp per person on the Internet. I'm not really trying to change my identity. There are just some problems left to solve, and I can go back to my home country at any time. But now that I have a child here, it's time to consider various things. I'm just commenting because I think there are a lot of people on this channel who are curious about this. I'm sure it's never easy to live in a different race, whether it's Japan or Korea, but I'd rather tell you to come and experience it yourself than believe and be scared of all the distracting stories on the Internet. Even if it's just a trip... If you came directly from Europe or the United States without any preparation, it would not be easy to adapt, and it may not be bad if you have a basic understanding of Asia. I think it's up to individuals.

Yes.. I have a Korean husband. I would recommend it to foreign women rather than men. as I said earlier korea is a somewhat materialistic society, and korean women pursue somewhat secular values. thats why korean men and foreign men have a lot of trouble dating and getting married in Korea. If I say this, they might feel a little bad, but... Korean girls have a little rotten... because of this, the number of Korean men who want to marry foreign women is increasing. so the number of women from Western countries who grew up in a less competitive and relaxed environment is increasing.. the most important thing for me as a woman is safety and education. There is no street bullying at all, and above all, security is really good, education is also good. and I don't think I feel much resistance to moving toward a multicultural society. to put it simply, Koreans prefer bright skin. even if you are black, if you think you are a person with a slightly lighter skin, not a fat body, or close to their preferred beauty standard, dating or marriage is not a big problem. maybe it sounds strange... its almost a sin to be fat in this country, regardless of race. this society really hates being fat regardless of gender... its really hard to get large clothes or shoes. if these things bother you, I would say don't come here. I hope it helped you...

Exactly this, if you are from china or japan they won't notice that you aren't a korean, especially if you speak korean fluently.

I am an introvert, a Korean, had a hard time in the U.S. I felt like there were some sort of social pressure to be extrovert in the country. I didn’t want to be rude, I am just a little anxious when I talk to people I barely know.

Didn't know there's white Namibians, it's my first time seeing one though😅😢😮😅

@@amossenfuma78 Are you serious? White people are everywhere C'omn

@@amossenfuma78 There are Asian Namibians.

Yeah but that’s a American term though… it became popular later as people used it abroad and now everyone apparently uses now. 😅

Thanks! I looked it in the diccionario and I wasn't sure of the right Word. I didn't thought of finding the definition in the comments!

But there's also a raciaI aspect in that other races have lower standards applied to them, whereas you have to go above and beyond.

Looking for any kind of compliment or anything positive in a nightclub shouldn't count tho....people there have ultierior motives 100% of the time.

Nightclubs definitely discriminate people according to the way they dress. If you are good looking but dressed shabby, you cannot get in. If you look cool and hip, your race doesn't matter.

Hi I'm curious about "with Korean style in mind" what that means?

@@Cxs1a3 That’s a fact

@@FalconPunch8319 I didn't state an opinion. I stated a fact. " he has interviewed Africans living in Korea" .

Because content creators like farming viewers like me and you for repetitive common interest topics. You know the saying right? “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”

He should have opened a fashion channel as well. He is wasting opportunities

Cultures change over time so it is good to revisit these topics periodically to see the progression of the Korean culture over time.

@@gt_n1722 Yeh but the problem is, these topics are being visited almost every other week

@@gt_n1722 Cultures don’t change monthly. These questions are asked constantly. Maybe I’m the minority in wanting different topics. I guess he should keep asking the same questions since there are plenty of people who want them.

Over 80% of the population in Korea lives in urban areas like Seoul, Busan, Incheon, etc. so you can say that the overwhelming majority of the population fall under this description the lady gave. If you want to live under a rock and pretend like you love a certain culture but actually ignore the realities of it, go ahead, but it's not just a Korean thing, but more of a broadly East-Asian thing to value money A LOT and this is not seen in a bad light, but rather just as being "pragmatic and strategic" in building yours and your family's legacy and status.

@@DebM88 Hey donut I lived in South Korea for 10 years. None of the other cities compares to Seoul. Most of the smaller cities are surrounded by rural communities that very different. I don’t need a lecture from a numb nut who lives off of internet search rather than living it.

Well said! I don’t know why they keep complaining sbout prioritizing Koreans over other nationalities. Because it’s KOREA

There’s other countries that are safe as well. Mostly every country just about that hasn’t been colonized.

as a person who lives in sweden, i can say that i see a big difference between how materialistic they are in Korea and China compared to here. for example, they put a lot of meaning in wearing expensive brands and associate it with having high status, whereas here, it's rather bad to go around wearing a lot of chanel or gucci and people would perceive you negatively for it (like think youre shallow or sum). im not saying it's wrong or right, but that's just cultural differences

Namibia lady speaks with so much sense, and the black London girl was so spotted on too

For a short term, it's a great place for foreigners. A lot of foreigners have so much fun in Korea, they “forget” to go back to their country. It's not a country to live permanently. You have to be very rich to be able to live Korean standard of living. Houses are super expansive.

@@yj8641 Thank you for the info😊💕

Its a place for temporary stay for foreigners. Nothing for long term

​@yj8641 Houses are expensive only in Seoul, but much better than the Western cities.

Every country has a narrow world view, "large developed countries" think they are the center of the universe and also reject people who don't conform. If you go to any of the countries you think are better than Korea, and don't learn the language and refuse to adapt to the local culture, you will be treated the same as foreigners in Korea, majority of them refuse to adapt to the local culture and language.

@@user-ns6nk2wx1u You're comparing your experience as an English Speaker, who conforms to western culture in the West, to someone who can't speak Korean and can't conform to Korean culture in Korea .

East Asian skin tan very easily, but without exposure to the Sun light, they become fair/ white. So in winter, if I Dont go out, I am more fair than my white husband. But in summer, if I'm outside for 30 minutes, Im totally dark. My skin is Totally different color 🤣 I need several different shades of foundations according to season. If I work in the field outside all day under the sun like farmers 100 years ago, I would be as dark as black people. Koreans these days just Dont work outside and when they go out they put a lot of sunblock lotion so that they Dont aged from the sun rays. In Korean countryside, a lot of people are a lot more darker and look much older than City people.

They love skin lightening creams so much, and most of them have bleached.

@@user-jq7oy3yc1j Koreans dont “bleach” skin. They use brightening agents such as retinol and vitamin C, which are common in European and American cosmetics too. The most important part of Korean skin care Is “nutrition and hydration”. Bleaching will harm skin texture so Koreans would never do it. Keeping skin healthy is the most basic part of Korean skin care. Most people become fair if they avoid sunlight delegently. Avoiding sunlight keep the skin light and help the skin stay young.

@@yj8641 IF not bleaching and using brightening agents its plastic surgery, correcting eyes, lips, nose, cheek bone, waist the list is endless in conclusion they dont like themselves or their appearance and their strive to look like certain communities, you at least love yourself you are beautiful the way you are, sometimes you look like cartoons as result of plastic surgery.

Racism is everywhere

As an American who lived in Korea for a year, yes. But the racism isn’t worse than the racism in the US.

there is racism all over the world. But the racism in asian countries is nothing compared to western countries. At least you dont see non-asians getting beat up

I would say it’s more of like lack of exposure to people of other cultures and ethnicities, so sometimes Koreans will run you the wrong way but definitely not intentionally

​@@r.chiwon1708sometimes it's very intentional people will get turned from jobs or getting into places for not being the right (read white) kind of foreigner. People have had this said to their faces in Korea.

Why is it “incredible”? Is there something wrong with being African? It’s funny how you guys reveal your preconceived ideas with your comments. There are people of European and Asian ancestry that have lived in Africa for quite a long time. It’s all they really know.

@@thezu92501. It is not often that you see Africans of European descent call themselves Africans; the few White Africans I know typically identify solely by their nationalities and not as Africans. I wish more people were as confident as her. 2. It is uncommon to see people outside of Europe and the Americas doing what she did in identifying herself. For example in Asia, a person of Western ancestry will likely never be accepted as Asian, but in the West, any ethnicity can be European, American, African, etc. 3. You tell me if there is "something wrong with being African." Last time I checked, there wasn't anything wrong with being African. And what are my preconceived ideas?

@@20reb24 How about we NOT look down on Southeast Asians and treat everyone as humans. At least these people from the "underdeveloped countries" that you referenced are humble and welcoming; maybe you can learn a few things from them, buddy!

You say South Koreans can be unwelcoming to foreigners but you haven't a clue how unwelcoming foreigners usually are in other countries. Do you think if a South Korean goes to Spain for example, how would they be received? I could call that "unwelcoming" as well. This also really depend on the individual and their attitude. If they are willing to integrate and adapt to the culture where they are living, I don't think it would that much of a problem.

The whole world knows, or should know that South-East Asia is a lot more accepting of outsiders. Still women avoid South-East Asia like the plague, and only view KR & JP as legit options. Why ? Hint: Socio-economic status. So, if that's what they want, then there's a price to pay. 0bviously, what I said doesn't apply to men, who do love South-East Asia a lot more.
