Koreans don't care about anyone but Koreans.
They're my least favorite among all the Asian ethnicities.
Some actual pertinent comments in reaction to the video:
Quote:
Sure, but Korea has only been colonised by its neighbours, namely China and Japan. The Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China is arguably still Korean land, and at 40,000 square kilometres, nothing to sneeze at. Also, sure they can be angry that they were once the Chosun province and immediately after gaining freedom they got split into two different nations.
That said, Korea can be angry at China and Japan, but it owes a very real debt to America, which is comprised largely of white people, and there's no real way to interpret this ad as anything but racism against white people.
That said-that said, Korean society gets a kick out of putting others down, when I lived there I got shit for being white, my friend got shit for being Japanese, and my Korean friends got shit because they were variously younger, had the wrong haircut, or any plethora of retarded reasons to call someone a cunt.
That said-that said-that said, I still like this ad because frankly I have a bit of a snout-nose myself.

As an Asian person I'm pretty offended by this.
Also Asian people don't need a reason to be xenophobic. Most of them just really don't like anyone who isn't Asian, and is usually quite unapologetic about their racism.

Shit like this makes me wonder why nerdy American whites have any sort of obsession with this area of the world. Having worked in a Chinese restaurant I'm not surprised. Of course I never felt looked down upon, but I know black customers where considered to be potential free loaders or difficult customers.
Also you can't turn the ghetto into black Korea.

I really did have a lot of fun there, with other foreigners and locals, and was almost never treated with outright racism/disrespect but I could never watch tv due to the portrayal of foreigners on it.
Interesting story: One day while teaching there my Korean co-workers invited me to lunch right in font of another foreign teacher who I was standing beside that was black. I said that I was busy and couldn't go to the restaurant with them. When my the other teacher asked where they were going to eat (sounded like they were inviting both of us) they replied that they decided to not go out, then all they walked out and hopped into a car together and drove off (all within our view).

. I'm not sure about the subliminal message. Will the Koreans now eat the white people? Haha jk, folks. I'm here all week, try the dog, ...I mean the veil.
