      There is an experiment in youtube but I forget the channel's name. They put caucasian ask for help in public then korean people help them willingly with welcome face even before he ask some help they gonna reach u to ask if he need any help. But when they put an southeast asian with tan skinn they tend to ignoring him and go away when he ask some help, and it turns no one help him. So sad why they r so racist.

    He mentioned the humid wet summers but not the Korean winters. Unless you are from central/eastern Europe, Central Asia, Canada or the coldest parts of the US/China, you will find Korea bitterly cold in the winter. Thought UK winters are cold? You ain’t seen nothing. Winter can see many days where it doesn’t go above freezing temperatures even during the day, and some days can go as low as -18C/-0.4F.
    Yet for some reason many people I’ve met who have never been to S Korea think it is hot all year round. It’s not in Southeast Asia guys 😂

    Either way, unless things have radically changed, a lot of foreigners say that no matter what you look like, you can be acknowledged by never truly accepted, because you aren't Korean. I don't think that's everybody, but it's likely a good majority.

    racism and racist peoples exists everywhere in this world. Anywhere in this world you go, You'll be gonna find 3 major completely different types of groups of peoples.
    1. The peoples who are racist
    2. The peoples who just don't give a fuck to you and your existence there. They just don't like you that's why they just completely ignore you and your existence there. And It's very good for everyone.
    3. The peoples who are good to everyone regardless of where are they actually from.
    If you can perfectly blend yourself among their culture and everything than they're gonna be very good with you. They're gonna be like you but you always have to remember it that they're gonna like you always as a foreigner to them.
    I was living in Texas, when I was living there I had seen a lots of racism there and a racist around me. because the majority of population of there are the white peoples. So, most of them can't just accept you from their heart. Beacuse you look completely different from all the other peoples who lives there.
    So, you can't just call a whole population of a country that they are all racist. Because in reality all of them aren't racist. A lots of them can be racist and also A lots of them aren't racist at all.
    So, Racism and racist peoples exists in all over the world. In every society of every city/town of every state of every country of every continent, racism and racist exits.
    So, you just have to keep yourself in a distance from them as much as you can. And you have to choose people wishly very very very very very very wishly.
    And Another thing you have to always remember that being alone without anyone or any friends is a lot lot better than being with someone who just claim themselves as a friends of you for their own profits or to destroy you completely or for both of thses reasons.
    So, just live wishly.

    People will stare because of a nuance in their environment that is not absolutely common to them. Tell me you won't stare at a black dot on a blank, white canvas or the other way around. It's simply observation and no more, unless subjectively stated otherwise by a group or an individual.
