why does that guy keep defending racism. like cmon there is no amount of justification you can give. RACISM IS RACISM

the fact that your skin color, a factor you have NO CONTROL over, or your race or ethnicity, determines how well you are going to be treated is absolutely disgusting.

The whole “language barrier” thing is bull, especially when it comes to foreigners living in Korea and not just visiting. If a Korean person were to try to enter an establishment in America and were told they couldn’t come in because of the “language barrier,” that would be seen for what it is: blatantly and grossly racist. It’s an assumption made based on their race. I just had a woman come into my customer service job the other day who couldn’t speak fluent English and I still helped her pick what she wanted from the menu and purchase it even though neither could speak the other’s first language fluently. I didn’t make her leave because she couldn’t speak English because that’s basic human decency.

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

There’s a lot of justification of Korean racism and changing the topic to other countries and the racism experienced by Asians in this video. It’s kinda sad to see “they should get the same treatment/punished” when it was racism against Asians yet when it’s flipped it’s “you have to understand why” and “we are not as diverse so we don’t understand” I know it’s difficult but coming to terms with certain things is better than explaining it away or changing it to what Koreans experience as opposed (or even similar) to foreigners. Otherwise, I guess it’s a start

So this video basically said, "Oh you've experienced racism? Well it's like that everywhere not just in Korea." AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOES OCCUR EVERYWHERE BUT THIS VIDEO WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE RACISM IN KOREA! LET'S TALK ABOUT ITTTTT

4:49 there we go. “We need to understand that our behavior without realizing is racist.” This is unconscious racism that stems from centuries of people being taught that they are above others and/or that this behavior is okay.

not the guy justifying racism. disgusting.

3:27 if you "get both views", you are absolutely supporting the racism. There are no reasons to justify the racism.

I know that Rua meant no harm, but that kind of business thinking is racist/discriminatory. It stems from Korea's cultural background and unfortunately he is a product of the unified cultural teaching practices. In any other western country, charging foreigners extra just to be present is discrimination and is not allowed by law. Korea's business association needs to find a way to fix the "reason" for charging foreigners extra just for existing. Praying for continued growth! 🙏💜

Koreans pretending to not be racist for 8 minutes straight

The grey hoodie guy be like " tell me you are a racist without telling me you are racists"

As a Korean, I was a bit disappointed in the guy in the gray hoodie. I think he had good intentions but him defending the racist behavior by “providing context” or mentioning there’s racism against Koreans too is part of the problem. Yes, Koreans experience racism too. But the content presented to them was specifically about Koreans being racist to foreigners in Korea.

Korea definitely has come a long way to being more open and sensitive racial and cultural diversity. It’s videos like this that allow more opportunities for discussion and learning 🙌💯

As a Korean I got to say that racism in South Korea is more common than you think

Reactions like this are so important. Next Gen Koreans will be so much more educated. Let’s progress together.

I love that these guys and gals are open minded, but I wish they would have also touched on Korean racism against Southeast Asians as well. There are still many Koreans who see SEA people as inferior, and as someone who is ethnically Southeast Asian and loves Korean food and culture, it hurts my heart to see.

this felt more like “let’s just try to make it seem like we understand where you guys are coming from while also try and tell why your wrong”

I will never understand how some people could hate someone that they never , ever met !!!

I went with a friend of mine (who just happens to speak Korean) to a nail salon. From the first this woman started making rude comments, because I am large chested she was saying " wonder what her sugar daddy paid for those" and " She is going to tip forward". The other workers (male and female)were laughing and and agreeing, until my friend told them in Korean they were getting written up in the worst places to go in her magazine article. Karma. I was so hurt, because I find Korean people to be wonderful and so very kind and hospitable. ❤

the guy explanation at 3:14 shouldn’t be even a rational reason, it’s just racism. that’s it. if you get denied the entry somewhere (unless for an ACTUAL dangerous reason) it’s straight up bad

3:12 It's disappointing he easily justified racism like that 😕 they need to begin having a bigger awareness of this issue and start actively thinking because that's not good enough.

what makes me laugh is when korean people say don't be racist towards asian people, but instead they are racist towards other asian countries😂😂😂😂😅🤣

Racism is normalized there. There are no laws to protect poc in Korea. Yet bts came to America to talk about racism🤣🤣🤣The jokes write themselves.

I couldn't even finish watching this video. For one, Ruas comments on why businesses do what they do is exactly what this video is about... that's racist. Just because there is an explanation provided doesn't make it any less racist. Two, it makes me upset at how 'surprised' or 'shocked' that this happens. You have chosen to be carelessly blind. I'm in Korea right now ans the racism is so blatantly obvious how can you not identity it? Only way is if you choose to ignore it. These are not new. Foreigners have said and shared these stories many times. The excuse that Korea is not a multicultural society is getting old. It doesn't have any other problems adapting to other cultures via the internet but I guess when it's about speaking up fot foreigners they don't understand? Yeah, it's a no for me.

Hello! I'm the girl in the thumbnail. The one who's hair got touched by the 아줌마. I appreciate you bringing awareness to what goes on in Korea towards foreigners. It's much needed and I'm glad you understand that it's not right. However, I do not appreciate you all using my video without my permission. I wasn't contacted about it being used in this video at all. This is wrong to use my content and any other BIPOC videos for your content without tagging and notifying them. You are reaping the benefit and views from our videos. This can come off as performative especially since I wasn't informed. The only reason I found out about this video is because my friend recognized me from the thumbnail. Next time ask for my permission first especially since I still currently live in Korea and doxing can very easily happen to us. Thank you for understanding. ☺️ [Edit]: I reached out to them and they responded and was apologetic. After speaking with me they mentioned us in the show more section. Thank you for listening and respecting my wishes.. 🥰

They protest against Asian hatred, but they discriminate against Southeast Asians. They are Korean

It’s the way a lot of koreans don’t acknowledge racism and brush it off when someone calls them out for their actions.

There were a lot of excuses being made and personally there is much more severe racism in Korea to cover. Specifically in the media. Like so so so much racism in kpop/k dramas but so many ppl refuse to acknowledge. They just sugar coated racism in Korea in this video and I am not at all surprised 😐

I actually don’t see both sides. Anyone should be let in to a place even if they are foreigners. Here in the States that behavior is not okay. Everyone is allowed access.

Justifying racism won’t end racism

4:27 the girl on the left is showing so much compassion. At least there are some respectful and remorseful people in this world. I'm glad that she understood how that woman felt. God bless her!

What Rua says sounds sensible…except I’ve been to Korean-owned clubs *outside* Korea that don’t allow non-Asians inside. There was a famous one in NYC that only allowed light skinned Asians and pretty white women inside. They even discriminated against Korean-Americans, making you prove you’re fluent enough before entering. Saying policies are to “avoid trouble” is just an excuse to hide bigotry. As a Korean, this kind of prejudice and the naive defense of such prejudice, makes me really upset and embarrassed.

this video is leaving a really sour taste in my mouth because what do you mean you "can see both sides" both sides of what? racism?? like i get you want to defend the image of your country but is it really worth it if you have to defend and rationalise racism?

I hated the guy in the grey sweatshirt, he kept trying to defend it AND he twisted it and started mentioning how people are being racist to Koreans, while that is true the video is about racism to foreigners so idk why he was bringing that up

The one in gray jacket loves his country so much he does not want to share it. He is actually enabling the situations lol

I am an African American woman living in Korea and I remember the first time I attempted to go to a club here it was with a Korean American friend and a white friend. All they did was check IDs at the door, nobody really said anything as they entered. The security guard let my Korean-American friend in first since she was in line in front of us and then let my white friend in next and then stopped me and said "no foreigners." All 3 of us who were going out had Foreigner ID cards that say what country you are from, so the security guard would have seen both my friends in front of me also were American (it literally says UNITED STATES in all caps right in the middle....) I explained to them in Korean that they'd just let my two foreign friends in ahead of me, even if my Korean-American friend doesn't look foreign. They were barely listening to what I was saying and said the reason they don't allow foreigners is because of the language barrier. I speak Korean. I was talking to them in Korean. I told them both my friends they had just let in ahead of me could not speak Korean at all, I usually translate for them. I pointed out that they let my white friend in with no questions and they said "white foreigner okay." The only thing they said in English during this whole conversation. I was so upset. Never in my life have I been so upset. Literally just cause I'm black they wouldn't let me in. This was at a very popular club in Busan in 2019. I've been living in Korea since 2018 and have never tried to go clubbing again cause that situation made me so angry. Not all Koreans are racist, aside from that horrific experience everyone I've met has been nothing but kind. But there are systems in place in this country that discriminate against all foreigners, especially anyone with tan or dark skin, and often times everyone just agrees with the reasoning, telling us we should understand their situation and why it is the way it is. How can they say their reason for not letting me in was because of a language barrier when I had spoken nothing but Korean with them the whole time. It was an excuse they didn't even bother to change when it didn't apply to the situation. And based on my friends' experiences, I know that with COVID this whole "no foreigners" thing got worse, especially after there was an outbreak in Itaewon. I live in a city in Incheon that is heavily populated with a variety of foreigners and so luckily I have never faced anything like that since it happened, but I do still worry about it happening again. I love my life in Korea and overall have had a wonderful experience living here, but that moment will be burned into my mind forever as one of the worst memories in my life.

As minorities we know racism, but as humans we need to understand that ignorance is not an excuse. Korea is a gorgeous country, with beautiful culture and amazing people. But hate crimes are on the rise. Racism due to ignorance is not the only problem that Korean society has. I would say that the bullying culture is even more alarming. So many beautiful & talented Koreans are being horribly bullied to commit suicide for being gay or having "happy birthday" nipples on picture...is simply unacceptable. As humans we need to learn to respect others...it is that simple! Back to the subject; Riddle me this, 1. Why promote tourism if we're gonna be asked if we are Russian prostitute when we go out? 2. Why did a female pimp follow my two sisters and I ?? 3. Why promote your country to foreigners ??? To bully and call an elderly woman "the fat one" by airport personnel? Yes!! That's right! They spoke out loud thinking foreigners don't speak the language. But some do!!! I'm willing to be patient and understanding to this level of ignorance...but part of my family lives in Korea and my beautiful baby niece doesn't need this kind of memories branded in her brain... We need to do better for the next generation ♥️ it is a must!

It felt like the Koreans in this video wanted to explain the racism more more than to actually empathise with what was wrong.

If everyone is denying racism in Korea then who is are the racist?

I experienced what was probably a mixture of racism and xenophobia in Seoul (I'm Filipino-American) - I was thrown out of a taxi in the rain even though I was speaking in Korean to try and get to my next destination, so I don't think it was a language barrier issue. I think the driver didn't realize I was a foreigner when I got in because I had my hood up, but I was thrown out when he looked at me. This was my first night I arrived, so I was tired from traveling and this encounter didn't feel great, but a young couple nearby stopped to help me grab another taxi, so I appreciated that. Looking back on that experience still stings sometimes, but I overall had a great experience with people in Korea and I want to visit again sometime! Thanks for speaking about this subject! Edit: I just came back from another trip to Busan and Seoul and had a wonderful visit - I could tell I was a tiny bit hardened by my previous experience (^ that was in 2019) at first, but I felt a difference since my last visit imo and people were so helpful. I easily had a great time. Looking forward to visiting again soon~

At this point in time, it’s very difficult for me to give people excuses for racist/prejudice behavior. It’s like that episode of hello counselor (which is honestly problematic in multiple ways) when an African guy came on and talked about what it was like being black in SK. Everybody acted so shocked like they couldn’t comprehend this man dealing with racism in their extremely homogeneous country. He was put together, spoke fluent Korean and was polite, but it still wasn’t enough to get a basic level of respect. People don’t even bother trying to do a little research or step outside their comfortable little bubble where everybody looks like them. It’s ironic for South Korea because of their entertainment industry. They have obvious influences of Black American, African, and Latin American culture in their music but don’t bother taking time to respect it or the people behind it. We all just have to work on being respectful and understanding.

As a Korean guy, I am really interested in other cultures and people, i love traveling to a lot of places and I'm really upset this is happening in our country and I was bit dissapointed in Rua too, i understand where he was attempting to come from a little but i am bit dissapointed

Not the guy trying to make excuses for the racism🙄How surprising!

Trust me,I have a black friend and he told me about his experience while on vacation with his wife (mostly when they vacation in Asia, especially China, Korea and Japan) He and his wife were barred from entering some restaurants for fear of making people around them uncomfortable because they have black skin. And it's very unreasonable and absurd lol.

As a black woman, i can say us in the black community will have plenty of stories where we’ve experienced racism. My earilest experience that i can remember was when i was 6 years old. One memory that now i see how wrong and horrible it was, was that when i was 7 years old, this white boy came up to me and asked if i had dirt on my skin and if i could wash it off. At the time i looked at him like an idiot. But as i got older, i realized how racist that was and knew that he definitely was taught that at home.

Why would they always justify racism.Admit you are racist without trying to fool us

It’s funny how they use words like”unfamiliar” or “not used to” to justify racism it’s sad honestly

They went from "They should experience racism back" to "We don't even know what racism is " real quick. I knew they would do this. They always do 🙃

3:14 that reason seems kind of BS. If that's the case then they should just take pictures of foreigner's ID. If I was at a club I'd rather them take a picture of my ID than not let me in at all. It's just straight up racism. There isn't really an excuse for it.

I'm African-American and I was always taught to love everyone so I don't see color I embrace everyone the same and I judge a person not by the color of their skin but the merit of their character 🎀 when the young lady made her eyes tighter explaining that that's what the racist people would do to her on Omegle that broke my heart and people are mean and evil for no reason and they don't have to be 💔

As an American I spent a year up near Munsan and it was a crazy experience when you walk down the street and people stare at you. Most of the time people were nice and I understood as many of them just didn''t see Americans in person a lot. Kids were great as they always had a smile. There were times though that you would try to go into a store or restaurant and you would basically be pushed out the door with someone telling you to go because they don't speak english (in english) and just didn't want to deal with an American, and some clubs/bars would straight up not allow foreigners in at all. I have to say that Korean men particularly would refuse to talk to you alot, even those working in train stations selling tickets, etc. We always had to ask Korean women for help if we needed simple things like buying a train ticket, getting coffee, etc. They usually giggled at us for awhile first, so that would be why we would ask them for help. That being said Korean women were absolutely amazing. They would help us no matter what even if they spoke absolutely no English. I still adore Korean women today because of the experiences I had with them just helping me with simple things us dumb foreigners had to figure out over there. BTW, I loved the year I spent in South Korea.

i find it incredibly odd that koreans have issues with fully accepting foreigners, especially black people, into their society but will appropriate various parts of black culture into their music and fashion/aesthetics with no problem

Rua is really defending racist actions by trying to justify it with even more racist reasons. Racism is racism my man.

(Im blasian/Korea x black/ don’t hate anyone here) ok but why is this guy defending racism like what is wrong with him? Has he not been exposed to anyone outside of his country?

한국인들은 나쁜 의도가 없다면 인종차별적 행위도 정당화하는 경향이 있습니다.

The entering establishment thing, not just clubs, has effected me before. Not just that, I specifically had a taxi driver in Gwacheon THROW my luggage and tell me he wasn't going to take my black a$$ anywhere.. to the other taxi driver that grabbed my luggage and drove me to Anyang, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU 🥰🥰🥰 he apologized for the other guy the entire time and even paid for my KTX ticket to Busan!! He didn't have to do that. But he wouldn't take no for an answer. Bless that man.

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

본인들이 당하는 인종차별에는 민감하면서 자기들이 하는 인종차별에는 그게 인종차별인지도 모르는 한국 사람들 되게 많음... 알면서도 쓰는 사람들도 있고ㅋㅋ 진짜 우리나라 사람들 내로남불 장난아님 외국인에 대한 사회 인식 개선이 필요하다고 생각함

Defending racism makes you a racist.

The getting denied at a club thing is something that happens fairly often in Korea outside of Seoul (and sometimes in Seoul too). I remember that my white friend, my Hmong friend who can pass as Korean, and myself (mixed - white/black) would sometimes go to clubs in which the Hmong friend would be told that he can go but us other two were told we couldn't. Let me remind you that all of us are foreigners. For Rua, I respect what he's saying but it doesn't really make any sense. We are ID'd when we go to clubs. We have ARCs with ID numbers recognized by the Korean government. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it is any different.

😂😂 that is a big no no, never touch a black girl hair. Actually you shouldn’t touch anybody unless given permission

This was so lovely. It addresses a lot of issues. Lots of love for these 4 peeps

My friend, an American woman who is black, travelled to South Korea to teach English. To her horror, she found rampant racism among her students. They treated her in a dehumanizing way that is indefensible.

I don't think Rua means to be racist, but his reasoning behind being asked to pay for a table to get into a club is actually very racist.

The way he was defending their racism at the club. That’s actually not it. Foreigners get punished more severely by their police. They always take the Koreans side. It’s plain and simply discrimination.

I am native American. My grandfather fought to help South Korea among other natives, and Koreans treated him right. I went to Soul two years ago and i was discriminated against for my skin color in one specific restaurant. I told the waiter who spoke a little english to tell his boss that my family were considered war heroes in Korea. She told her boss, and he apologized and let us in, but i told him that we wouldn't partake of his restaurant because my family didn't discriminate when we protected his people and he also shouldn't do it to others.

This doesn’t even cover half of it, let’s be honest. Just looking at comments in foreign idols in Korea, you get the gist of how racism is ingrained in Korean culture

The guy making excuses for the businesses, is just NOT it! Like you probably don't mean harm but if people keep thinking like you, things will never change. Y'all need to accept the fact that there's always gonna be people interested in going into your country, and as long as they're not harming it, you should be thankful. There's ABSOLUTELY no reason as to why anyone would need to get charged more. If we did that in America, our business would be completely shut down because it is discriminatory!!!!

Someone said Korea is an economically developed country with an 18th century social mindset and it shows. They want you to spend money on their exports, but don't want to integrate with you. I read some reviews on trip advisor and my goodness.....the Korean wave will surely die down as people continue to share their negative experiences. It's only a matter of time.

I don't believe that only one race can be racist, I believe anybody from any race can be rude to someone else. I think it's just people doing awful things. I can't believe we are still like this. People are people and everybody is important. All asians, hispanics, africans, African americans, whites, europeans, indians, indigenous people and everyone in between deserves love and respect. It's simple human decency that EVERYONE DESERVES.💙

If someone says you can't go into an establishment based on race then yes that is racism. You can try to justify it all you want, but Korea is a very racist place

Fortunately for the younger generations, these beautiful people are the spirit of change you see in most of Koreans today. I’m glad Korea is progressing to a more understanding society. I’m half Korea and when living in Korea also experienced some racism but very little. I’m also half white. My brother and sister and my best friend are half black and experienced a lot of racism . But it has changed a ton since we lived there in the late 90’s - mid 2000’s

The excuse that the country was once homogeneous and unified culturally is beginning to be too old of an excuse. In the days of Internet and social media, things have become clearer. It’s easy to learn about other cultures, people, continents. Plus, we are all smart enough to know better than to develop prejudices about cultures/races from watching movies and media. I mean, if you know it’s acting, then you know it’s fictional and doesn’t apply to the millions of people that look like those actors in the movie. Humans living in this era have to be smarter than that by now, right!???!

You know the rasiam is wild when in this video one guy is constantly trying to defend the racism either by giving excuse or by bringing other country .

I am an African American female and lived in Korea for 2 years and I gotta say I only experienced racism once by an older male and he spit at me. They did like to touch my hair which I honestly don’t mind since they asked first but Koreans are fairly nicer compared to Americans. I got the chance to sit with a lot of Korean women and have a conversation, helped some Koreans speak English a little better and learned Korean in return. I feel like only in certain places of Korea will you really experience racism but luckily I lived an amazing sweet area. I really want to go back just because the atmosphere is so pleasant and welcoming. Granted I would get strange looks a lot but shit I get that here so its like eh. It is what it is.

2:55 is a perfect example of how someone can be racist without even realizing they're being racist and having no racist intent.

Yes, as a black woman we hate when people touch our hair. We get the curiosity, but it’s disrespectful. We don’t know you and we aren’t some zoo animal. She was honestly being nice by not saying anything because she could have smacked her hand away hard enough to hurt her or could have yelled at her.

After living in Korea for almost 4 years, I'm always still so surprised at how racism is defended by some Koreans. Especially during Covid, the racism towards foreigners was unreal. Signs explicitly stating "No foreigners allowed", going into a business and being told everything is sold out, but serving the Korean customer behind you with no problem, trying to sell you things at higher prices because you're a foreigner, etc.... The issue is that there are no discrimination laws in place, at all. It is legal to deny jobs, service, etc., based on skin color , size, general appearance, etc... This country is an amazing place to live, and I love it here, but... There is a lot of room for improvement on many social and human rights issues, in my opinion.

This reminds me of a issue I had almost my entire life is as a Hispanic that ACTUALLY was BORN in the U.S I got told alot to speak English just because I was speaking Spanish to my parents witch is our language and I was also told to return to my country witch I knew they were basically telling me to go back to Mexico and I was young so I didn't know what to do in problem like that until till around my teenage years I started to talk back and they would call me disrespectful and I would just say idgaf u started it so I'm ending it

In regards to the Siya tik toker what she faced was xenophobia NOT racism…. she was discriminated against because she was a foreigner NOT because of her skin color or race. There’s a huge difference!!! I’ve watched videos of black ppl in Korea who actually experienced racism in clubs due to them being black. There’s a big difference !

I see too many non-black people in this comment section trying to speak on racism towards black people or invalidate black people’s experiences with racism, even going as far as to gaslight them.

Black American girls used to ALWAYS touch my Korean hair when I was growing up. I never thought it was racist though. I knew they were genuinely interested and curious. So it never bothered me. However people used to mimic the slanted eye thing to me and that did hurt and was definitely racist.

The woman mentioning the club thing is a great point to make. Happens with restaurants too :/ it’s known over there but I don’t hear others talk about the issue. My mom pointed it out to me yesterday “imagine if we [since we are in america] looked at someone of another race or ethnicity and told them they couldn’t enter because they’re foreigners. It would be a big deal, but they won’t talk about that issue much in other places” and it kinda occurred to me so I’m glad others do in fact talk about this issue

I wish there were some clips of Korean racism towards South Asian people. I have been to Korea myself and I don't even notice if someone doesn't take a seat next to me in subways or bus. But sometimes it's too evident. So, I am from India and works in Samsung RnD. Me along with some senior team members went to Korea for 3 months for a project in Suwon DSK center. Usually people were very nice inside and outside office but sometimes, it is difficult to communicate with people outside office. Mostly, people in office understands English enough. Once, we were traveling in bus on a weekend to visit some places. In Korea, the T-money cards can be used to pay for bus or metro fares. But once, one of our team-mate's bus card mistakenly couldn't get swiped properly because of the rush and she moved ahead thinking it as done. The bus driver rudely called her and said something in Korean. We couldn't follow and he kept behaving rudely and it appeared like he is telling us to get off. Some nice guy told us to re-swipe the card. She did and it got swiped properly. But his behavior was like he was judging us as poor people. It was a bad experience. Also, I got once asked "Do you have elephants or snakes in your home?". It was so funny for me lol. I request Koreans or any other netizens to please destroy stereotypes you have for Indians or any other south asians. We all are living happily and we should respect each other culture, however it is.

I'm soooo glad you guys did this video! I'm a black woman currently living in Korea and I have personally experienced a lot of this. Especially the hair touching. I knew it was not OK for my students to do it but they are so young and fascinated by me that I didn't have the heart to tell them not to touch me, but it is super uncomfortable and frustrating when grown women do it on the bus, in stores, when I'm walking down the street. I get they are fascinated and curious about me as well but they are old enough to understand boundaries and asking someone permission to touch them. I completely understood what the girl said about people touching her hair. You do feel like an animal in a petting zoo and it's a very difficult situation to be in when you don't want to come off as disrespectful if you do tell them to NOT touch you.

Omg and the girls... basically said "Korea is not diverse so thats why we're racist ig oh well cant be avoided." 21st century, girl. Wake up

If they don’t want foreigners in clubs don’t play foreign music in there. There’s nothing about Korean identity. Because they could easily just take a picture of the identification.

I never understand anyone who says " my country is homogeneous " so we don't have other races around. 🤔 but you are aware there are other races and ethnicities that exist. It's called basic human decency. Even if I have never met a Korean doesn't not mean when I see one I'm going to be rude, discriminatory or racist.🙄 That means you were never taught decent human kindness... or you were as long as it was applied to people who look like you. Please please please stop using the word foreigner. People are aware they do not come from the country they are visiting. How about tourist.. sounds more human. Just know being curious and physically touching someone out of curiosity is two different things. It's rude to touch anyone without permission. If you think it's ok, then would it be OK for someone to touch your butt if they are curious to how it feels. I'm sorry but if someone touches any part of my body without asking, they will be getting the Popeyes, KFC double combo #2. I'm from NY and that is a no no. Call my response what you want but that's a violation. look but don't dont touch. Oh I wouldn't mind no one sitting by me on the train. Even if they got up. I'd rather that. NYC subways buses and rails are always crowded so I wouldn't care. I'll have my music in my ears and could care less if you stayed away. This video was very disappointing. A lot of justification. I would like to visit other countries. Korea is one of them. But things like this worries me. If I go it will be for specific reasons with a planned agenda. I'll make sure to do my research and know how to get around and continue learning the language.

In the Philippines, some South Koreans set up businesses (usually restos, cafes, etc) here in my country, but they discriminate against us, Filipinos, entering their establishment. How sick is that?

When I saw the hair touching one, I thought, "these people needs to learn how to respect others. Try to put yourself in their shoes. You'll be annoyed and angry if there's some strangers touching your hair without permission right?" Think before you do something.

People who defend racism should definitely experience it themselves. A lot of South Koreans are racist to people with darker color, even to their fellow Asian in the SE. I'd love them to get the same experience when they come to the west.

I remember interviewing for a school in Korea and the interviewer said that my skin color might scare the children and how would I handle that. Thank goodness I didn't get that job. Teach your children

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

I just hate how..they can STEAL ideas from different cultures but not LOVE the people who made the culture??

This video actually made me cry a lil It's not fair at all...in any way

3:08 idgaf, that is racist. Dont try to justify it

As chinese-korean, I feel like there is always a small sense of Anti-Chinese sentiment in South Korea, especially more so now due to the Beijing Olympics and Coronavirus, it would be nice to have some opinions about this from natives on a more open scale :)

Wow. If a Korean person was denied access to a club here in the UK, just because they are a foreigner! it would make national news and the club would probably be shut down. Not to mention the other bystanders in the queue, you could guarantee they would be outraged on your behalf. Ignorance is a very lame excuse.

It really hurts to see poc’s being racist to other pocs. We should all learn to respect each other.
