Awwww😢 I can feel them.. it's really inevitable anywhere we go,there will always be racism, been there, wow ure so good in this luv, thank you for talking about this sensitive one bravely! 💖
That Filipino male teacher was too kind. He should have shouted back to that ignorant Korean woman in the bus, “I’m here to teach your kids how to speak English and to behave properly so they don’t grow up to be as ignorant as you!” Then hit her with a lawsuit. East Asians are still in need of civility and Christian conversion despite having achieved some semblance to order. This is manifested in their overly strict class and age system and why they themselves live in extreme anxiety to the point of being suicidal. Sorry but, let’s call spade a spade.
Even my English teacher said "There's no wrong in English as long us they understand you. There's no right or wrong grammar of it, the important is you understand each other.
Totoo yan. Kahit ung mga friends kung americano wala nmn problema sa english ng ibang lahe basta naitindihan nila. Pake nila sa pronounciation ng mga pinoy. Na aamaze p sila khit mga bata nkkasalita ng english e.
The fact that he remembers the EXACT date, says a lot! It probably scarred him. Just because you’ve never heard of such thing in your country, doesn’t mean it can’t happen! Stop invalidating HIS own experience! That’s his experience, not yours!
As a black american man, I used to live in Seoul Korea and I had my experiences of discrimination and racism in Seoul Korea. I did not let that ruining my experience in Seoul, because I had great times in Seoul as a black american man. Good video Jessica, also I think we as people need to embrace other people's culture to make racism better around the world.
I agree, I too being a black american took the same view as you. I lived in Ulsan for 3 years and I'm curious, for you who was more friendly, city Koreans or country side Koreans?
I remembered my Korean HS classmate here in the PH apologizing to us out of nowhere because on how generally Koreans looked down on Filipinos. He said that after staying in the PH, he was ashamed on how Filipinos are talked about in Korea. That happened yeeeaaarrrsss agooo! I thought it stopped but I guess I was wrong.
Of course. I was an English tutor exclusively for korean students here in the Philippines. The kids would always say that Filipinos are poor and are just living good because of them, funny but i think they get these thoughts from their parents. I went to S.Korea in 2018, in the bus I was standing and it was quite cramped inside, my knees touched a woman's leg, she was sitting, but she tried kicking my legs to push me away. S.Korea doesnt feel like a warm country to me, no matter how much filipinos embrace their culture. My opinions based on my experiences.
When I went to ph as a Korean. Little kids touched me bc my skin was light. It was shocking but that would not ruin my time in ph. I hope your inferiority get you bad way
When CHRIS was questioned about his ability to teach English, he handled the situation very well. Instead being overly-defensive or sensitive about it, he managed to find a common ground with that person. It eventually became the reason why that Korean enrolled to be his student. The difference between learning fom a native speaker vs a non-native speaker is that the latter has first-hand experience in learning English as a 2nd language. They automatically have a connection w/ their students & would easily understand how it feels to learn and adjust to English.
From Chris standpoint or any Filipinos we normally understand if the person you are talking to does not really know how to speak english. We dont normally react right away instead we help and guide them on how to do it.
As a Japanese, racism is everywhere even here in the Philippines but I find Filipinos more welcoming than being racist. Been staying here for a little over 3 years now and I've been enjoying my stay here so far. I also made a lot of friends already. Too bad I have to move out soon due to the nature of my work.
Yea some will discriminate you here but not to the extent of physical harm. Most of the filipinos are well aware of the foreigners especially in my province here in palawan(since we're a tourist destination) were mostly everyday I can see foreigners (before the pandemic hits).
yeah filipinos are not racist....? ? only to those foreigner white people. but if you came from the province yeah expect pinoys are one of the most racist people on earth..
Jessica is one eloquent speaker. Love how she explains, points out the obvious yet smoothly traverses through the context of her thoughts. Her accent is fascinating, at least to me. I can feel the purity of her intention in her delivery, en point. A good speaker, indeed.
I remember back in 2018 where I competed in Taekwondo, it was an invitational competition and thankfully there's a lot of filo taekwondo athletes that time who also joined and competed. That time it was very cool to be in a foreign country without your parents just your younger sibling, coaches, and teammates but what I didn't expect is that knetizens would literally talk behind your backs thinking we (more likely me because I'm the only one who was able to understand) wouldn't be able to understand them. It really hurts because you are an athlete and you are there to compete and enjoy all new learnings. It hurts saying that "we are so noisy" "unwelcomed athletes" "we should go back home". Even if my fam and I went to other foreign countries for vacation I would always here people being racist.
At this point of her YT journey, Jessica Lee doesn’t need to prove anything (to please people, to earn respect, get more views, etc.) yet she uses her platform wisely. This is responsible content creation. 💯
SKL, I just watched the Squid Game (ep.4 pa ako) on Netflix and immediately recognized Chris. Haha. I even checked the credits to confirm it was him. Then I went back here just to comment this. Hahaha Galing nyo sa tug-of- war kuya! Good luck sa next game! Sana hindi ka mamatay 😅 hahaha
THEIR CONVERSATION is just to soften discrimination BUT they did not really talked about the REAL discrimination against Filipinos. OFW is the definition of people's perception of Filipinos not only in Korea but other parts of the world.
It’s mostly because there is a Korean and we Filipinos tend to treat those who invited us to chat with respect. We accommodate others too much and overlook what is needed to be said *sigh*
Wow.. Chris is such a eloquent speaker, his insights is just good to hear, it doesn't speak bad about the race itself but gives a nice understanding and gives his opinion. I had Korean, and other non english nationalities classmates here in the Philippines to study english as it is cheaper here, most of them are nice and I think they don't have problem in the english accent and I just noticed that they really like to be in their own little groups.
I’m a foreigner and I’ve been living here in South Korea for 10 years because of my dad job. Just recently I want to get a new sim for my phone but the owner won’t gave me one since I’m a Filipino. I have alien card but after seeing my passport the shop owner still say no and said that it’s a new policy of the government something. In my thoughts 🤬 Like, what’s your problem with us? Oh, not only that, recently also, I was applying for a job, then the person interviewing me what’s my nationality, after saying that I’m a Filipino, he then do a judge look. Then told me that they don’t accept Filipino’s and said that That my kind should work on the bar only or something blah blah blah… The discrimination is so 🤬 real. I don’t generalize all korean cause I have korean friends and classmates also but most Koreans do judge your skin color, your nationality, your look and everything. Especially oldies. Well, some younger ones but mostly oldies. It’s hurt.
The fact that Koreans want to travel and live here in the Philippines for good and Filipinos are giving them a warm welcome. But when Filipinos go to Korea, it's the complete exact opposite.
Not really, watch her video on her experiences when she was growing up in Pinas, people made fun of her eyes. Her other Korean friends also said the same. There are racists in all countries, kahit sa Pinas.
@@tapunan yeah that is why racism is everywhere but we cannot deny Korea is a racist country and even other countries specially Southeast Asian countries they knew korea is really have problematic about racism because they are one of the victim of being racist of some Korean and that must be fix that of Korean government cause I Know until it really exists.
I'm Fil-Am (Filipino American), born, raised and educated in the US and working as an Assistant Professor for almost 15 years in South Korea and this happens to me all the time. From very young kids aged 5 or 6 all the way to the elders in their sixties and seventies. And most of the stares are not friendly, but rather disgust because they assume that I'm from a third world country and probably working in a factory, thus in their eyes, beneath them. I think it's a BS excuse that most Koreans use when they stare at foreigners in South Korea. There are too many foreigners living here already and it still happens everywhere. I believe Koreans just use this excuse (that they're staring because of curiosity or because it is new) as a means to normalize and perpetuate the action towards foreigners. Koreans know when they stare at foreigners, they can get away with it. They also know that they are making the foreigner feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed, and that's the main purpose of it. And rather than acknowledge that it is wrong and shouldn't be done, when confronted, Koreans revert to this BS excuse of "I'm just curious" in order to save face. The fact that the host of the video uses this reasoning as well just proves that this excuse has been used and passed down from one generation to the next. The first step in solving a problem is acknowledging there is one and until Koreans admit that staring at foreigners is not done out of curiosity, it will continue.
Here in middle-east, we combine languages like a combination of English, Arabic, Hindi, Malayam, Nepali, Tagalog. If we need to break each sentence or word it's okay as long as we understand each other (with a full-body sign, not just a normal hand gesture while speaking). Especially here in the construction field because we deal with lots of Labourers who barely speaks English.
I love how Jessica loves to deep dive into these types of issues. We get entertained and learn a lot at the same time. Plus you can really see how organized she is, I love her editing style as it's like a book, there's the topic and sub-topics where we can follow along the main idea that they are discussing. I'm currently studying topik and planning to take masters in Korea soon and this really is relevant~
"I am a Filipino but I was able to learn English and this is how I speak English. Just imagine you're a Korean and English will become your second language. How is it? Coming from someone who just speaks only English. What do you think would be the difference?" A big slap in the face! I love this guy 👍 Exactly! This was also what I had in mind when talking about English Accent. What's so great about American Accent or British Accent? It was their mother tongue. Before they start being racist, they should come here in the Philippines, learn Filipino Language, then speak fluent Tagalog. Me myself I can speak Tagalog, English, Bisaya and a little Japanese and Korean. But them, they only speak their mother tongue but think their great on their own 🙂
Totally agree! I don't get it when accent becomes an issue. British people naturally have the British accent BECAUSE they are British and so with the Americans who definitely have the American accent. Do you expect them to have an Australian accent? Why speak about the obvious? Actually, Americans do have different accents too. They have the North American accent, and the South American accent or the Cali accent. Why do you expect Filipinos to have a British accent or an American accent when Koreans do have an accent too? It's really the ability to communicate that is more important. Remember, even two people with the same accents do have misunderstandings when they can't communicate well.
@@yves_7369 It was the result of colonial mentality of Western Country and how they brainwashed the people. You should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines", you'll learn a lot from there. But to be precise, you should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines Reaction" by Kirby Araullo. Kirby is a Filipino so I believe his words are more accurate.
Nagpunta kami dyan sa Korea last march 2019..may napanood ako sa local television ng korea binabato nila yung japanese na contestant sa isang ice skatin competition ng pet bottle..grabe naman talaga..
im a filipino american and everytime i go to the Philippines i do get discriminated for being a "dark skinned" filipino until i speak in my american english...
Honestly no, Philippines is infamous for pickpockets and crimes in Korea. I dont meant this to be mean, just saying the image of the Philippines in Korea
@@uwuwu7553 It's gradually changing because of TV Shows exposing the beauty of the Philippines to Koreans. In 2019, South Koreans was the no.1 international visitors in the country, mostly they visit Cebu.
@@kirojiro23 thats why only Cebu is famous. We are talking about the image of the Philippines. And also extra judicial killing were shown in Korea news back then. If its variety show of course they will show the bright side of a place. They’ll get a lot of hate if they did otherwise.
It is as simple as ACCEPTANCE of other cultures or for who they are as individual. We are all different and we cannot force other to be like who we are. It is also the word RESPECT that can avoid racism.
Hello! Yes, I've experienced racism in Korea 3x, for being Filipino. Twice of which at the airport in Busan. One of them was very traumatic!! It still shivers down my spine after 9 years...
This was really interesting, got me hooked till the end. Conversations were relaxed, and engaging, it’s just like a group of mature friends talking about adult stuff and our realities. Cheers! 🍻
Although biases may be a natural leaning of individual being, we have to help avert a certain bias from becoming cultural or xenophobic, leadership and education gives the momentum and sharing of experiences like this is a source for learning.
To be honest, I personally have never been exposed to racism even if I've lived and worked in the US. Even when I burried my father in Missouri. As an asian, people's looks did not matter to me. Even if I had a conversation with a cousin about how "poor" the philippines was, I told him we had five maids. I personally had a maid who would looke after me. He shut up after hearing I had my own personal maid.
I remember way back 2013 in our church in Philippines there were korean visitors because we had youth camps every year and we became friends with one of them and she admitted that her friends and most of her fellowmen always look down the Filipinos they think they are superior than us higher than us and etc and I proved that the time when we were about having our dinner they didn't want to eat with us instead they eat jn a much better place than us. And I have seen some of the korean artists mocks us the way we talk in english.
It’s kinda ironic because their English is just as bad and they go to the Philippines to study English to become better at it. Unfortunately their stereotypes will be there until the Philippines becomes more stable. Maybe in a few decades it will get better but right now I highly doubt it
Bruh that is messed up! We even speak clearer English than them (sounds bold but it somehow true till this day right now) hopefully they would learn not judge quickly and the fact they learn english from us is not a right to mock us like that regardless of our social status and background I mean not all koreans are bad (Even if I like South Korea not everything they do is justifyable especially when its wrong I mean also other countries but yeah that is there) but some are just racist just saying its just disrespectful as Filipino and any other race that faces racism!
K-dramas are the romanticized versions of the actual South Korean society, it happens but maybe in a 1 of thousands or millions. And yes, they are correct we have all innate racism, no matter how someone denies to themselves, it really exists inside us whether verbal or not. People tend to be judgmental for something they don't know or new to them.
Although some recent Kdramas right now uncover the dark reality of their society like school pressure or cults like Sky Castle and Save me ,Kpop industry, Lgbtq and many taboos (problems in life ) I mean even if they are dramatized they uncovered the reality of their lives not just fairytales or something like what past kdramas do. I mean even if I'm a fan of Kdramas I don't really view South Korea as that in real life where everythng is unicorns and rainbows which is definitely wrong
1:23 MANY in Manila, Cebu City, and in Subic Bay. Many Korean owned restaurants and businesses only have Korean words in their business buildings. They say they only cater only to Koreans even though they're in the PHILIPPINES! Sadly the government doesn't do nothing about it....
Jessica could walk through fire and come out unscathed. She's not afraid to talk about topics that can get people into a combative stance because she has this power to diffuse tense situations..
i don’t believe “we’re all racist”, but I will say we are all prejudice or have prejudices. I personally don’t think we should say “we’re all racist” coz that would almost normalize racism. Which is isn’t and shouldn’t be. Awesome video guys!
Normalize or not, that's another topic. But if we were born as human, we're all racist. That's just fact. A classic experiment would be prisons. When humans are thrown back in to such state, raw and primitive instinct will kick in. That's why, in the prisons, inmates group themselves by race.
Ben I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. I feel that racism is not human nature, but nurtured. I don’t see toddlers hating on other toddlers for being different. Therefore it’s difficult for me to accept that humans are racist in nature.
My wife is from Davao and you are right about Filipinos and English. She's been speaking it all her life. There are kids now whose only main language is English! And even in the heart of the country on a little island where you don't know the dialect they'll speak English. For Asian countries this is massive. It make the Philippines stand out for foreigners like you say. But it's also great to learn Filipino languages because you can just use English when you don't know how to say things. You end up with Taglish for example.
On point to Ate Caryl! "Subway" really. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRANSPO. Always on time and very convenient when you travel around Seoul and even nearby provinces.
I loved and agree with every single word that Chris said. Embracing other culture and be open minded to know and learn from it is the way we should live. Tks Chris.
I really love this video, the way Caryl and Chris answered the questions was really witty and thoughtful. I also appreciate you ate Jessica for making them feel comfortable. Racism is a very serious topic, and this video made some clear points about it. Let's embrace each other and Be as ONE 🤗❤
i love jessica's videos ) : quality content that's fun AND vocal and in a really easy to digest way too !! NEVER mindless or ignorant, it's kinda rare to see a youtuber who's so aware and tries to be rlly sensitive with certain topics but is also not afraid to speak about them. i love u girl keep doing what ur doing
Filipinos are known for being friendly and generous, so I actually love giving gifts for every season like, pepero day, valentines, etc. And almost everyday, I might have missed a day or a week for 4yrs but I love giving candies, chocolates or coffee to my co workers and someone asked me, "Are you rich? Aren t you living a wood house in Ph?" Like what the h. And they keep on saying like, "Aren t philippines like people living with a gun?" And with my most sincere emotions tryin to make good friends, I felt so heart broken honestly.
I never thought that the Koreans will underrate the accent of the Filipinos in english actually, the Filipinos should underrate the accent of the Koreans instead the way they speak in English is not a smooth as the Filipinos accent it's really funny and ironic but anyway like others said it's shouldn't an issue anymore the most important thing is respect and you are both understand each other
I'm an Indian and I think filipino accent sounds good I mean it's atleast easy to understand and your native language is Tagalog then how can they expect you to speak in a perfect accent:/
Watching this vlog suddenly got me teary eyed. I dont know why, maybe because I wanna go to other countries too and listening to their experiences, I felt really bad. I hope people will accept and appreciate each other more in the future.
I really came back to this vlog just to say that he's the guy in the Squid Game. I remember him because of what he shares here. He's a good actor. 💖 Ang galing galing 💖
You had an interesting topic to talk about in this video.it gave me additional informations on what to expect when in Korea; that there are things that dont exists in real life as seen in kdramas. As to English communication, as long as both person talking to each other, do understand even if there's an accent, there's nothing to worrv about.
I also teach Korean students and I must say that some of them are racist because they are not that expose to other culture. i think educating them properly will definitely change everything in the future. So keep on teaching seonsaengnims! 💗
I know a girl who is Thai. She's obsessed with Chinese and Koreans as being the "best Asian" races and thinks of Filipinos as being the lowest. She had a whole class system of Asain races. I'm pretty sure she wishes she was Korean. That said, she's nice to everyone and has several Filipino friends. Its weird... Its doesn't seem to be a hate type thing... its more like saying that person is rich and that person is poor, I would rather be rich... but being friends with both.
Many Koreans call us monkey in our own country WTF.....This is the reason why sometimes you regret why Filipinos did not retreat in the very important battle of Yultong. This is what we get for fighting for their freedom. Life is so unfair.
Those are all interesting topics jessica! I think Korean who have racist minded are ignorant people. Most of racist Koreans are living in such a small world and lack of informational situation. At the first time, I encountered Korean racists who are judging my Filipino husband bad, I was so angry at them. But now I feel patheic with them. Btw I'm Korean girl who married Filipino guy.
Korean Society = 90% RACIST. It's just facts ma'am. We know. +30yrs experience with these Korean animals taught me sooo much. Korean mind = White people(#1 Superior Race in the world) + Koreans(2nd Superior race)
They didn't know about the history of Battle of Yultong during 1950 where Philippines send troops to help South Korea against China and North Korea... As a Filipino im very upset and dissapointed that some koreans discriminates Filipinos and other Southeast Asians because of their faces and colored of their skin.
Kudos to the guests.. Very well said... Very well explained...This is somehow will open to other people who want to be in Korea whether an for education or pursuing career. You have to be physically and more mentally and emotionally ready.
I am a fan! Have been binge watching your vlogs and I love how you love the Philippines and Filipinos. Excited to see more of your daily vlogs and contents like these, bringing social awareness to diversity.
It's true that (MANY and not some) Koreans look down on Filipinos. You will notice this on their choice of words that they use with you and their body language. They would even be surprised and look you up and down if you dress better (or in designers) than them. That's when I was there. Here, the older men have this thinking that every Filipino can be paid off. The younger ones feel like they're oppas from K-dramas. The few Koreans that I personally know to be decent are the ones that stayed in the PH for a long time. It's actually not about racism but superiority (or the feeling of). Just because they don't say it, doesn't mean it's not true.
6:32 Jess:" the 🇵🇭 is great its very convenient for foreigner to travel to the 🇵🇭 bcoz everyone most of them knows how to speak fluent english and their accent for me its very understandable and i really love the accent" Thank you jess for loving filipino english accent💖💙💖
I'm from the PH and I'm ashamed to admit to being insensitive to other cultures during my younger years back in the 90s. Particularly to indians and chinese folks. We call them 'Bumbay' and 'Intsik beho' for reasons I didn't really know. All that gradually changed when I became friends with quite a lot of them in school. I remember during a soccer match tinisod ako ng kalaban, by tinisod I mean the soccer version of tinisod AKA sinipa... *Guess who was there to defend me? My indian friend.* . In high school, special PE ako since I was getting bullied all the time. Korean yung tennis buddy ko and he was one of my best buddies back then. Joo Hyuk if you're reading this, tara laro minsan. HAHAH. . So anyway, definitely exposure, diversity, and respect will play a HUGE part in putting an end this ridiculous thing we call racism.
is that racist though? I've heard my parents use those words to refer to Indian and Chinese people. There's isn't anything derogatory being said when they mention those terms though. I feel like those words are different from a word like "egoy" which kinda implies an ignorant/ uneducated person of African descent. If "egoy" is used, it probably means something derogatory but using the word "negro" (pronounced the Filipino/ Spanish way, of course) or "itim" wouldn't be racist.
@@kawaiiafangirl the term "bumbay" is racist. while the terms like what you've said isn't. and maybe it really just depends on the intention a person wants to convey.
Living here in korea for 3 years already. yeah racism and rudeness are in the veins of some koreans mostly ajushis, ajummas or maybe some youths. But i still can say that most of them are very kind too, and even experienced their kindness. Our Korean Pastor here once said that he hated Filipinos the most before, but after living in the Philippines, look, now He Loves Filipinos the most he said.
People always handle things they aren't familiar in bad ways, it's been going on since the dawn of time, and it will always happens, we have to start practicing being open-minded to other cultures from other parts of the world, if we do that, then we will be okay.
Filipinos are very aware of those issues like Koreans mocking the accent of Filipinos when it comes to talking in english that’s why in our university filipinos always mock those korean foreign students for not being able to speak in english the most harsh words were like “you and your fellow koreans are good at mocking our english accent while majority of you doesn’t know how to speak english now tell me which is more better?”, i mean it does sounds very rude but if you think of it those are facts
As a black woman. It’s not what you say, but how you say it. I always tell people if they want to know something about my race just ask. But it’s how it is said, and the action your body is using while saying it. But a lot of nations still has this mindset that. White skin, pink lip, slim body, long hair. is the perfect image. There’s so much more to the world that people are missing out on because people are stuck in thinking one way.
I love this video Jessica.. this is not just ordinary blog but also informative as well.. we Filipino are discriminated in the other Foreign country.. sad to say 😔... I love Philippines 🇵🇭 and i am proud of it! ☺️☺️☺️ God bless more blogs to come Keep safe💞
This is informative and entertaining at the same time. Plus, you all expressed your thoughts and experiences very well. I would also like to thank you, three, for giving us new insights and perspectives to ponder upon regarding this issue. Thank you so much for the great content, Jessica! You never fail to amaze me with your videos and give me lots of knowledge. I'm learning a lot! I hope you all stay safe and have a great day! 😊💗
Korea has K-drama, we also have this long running PH-drama here in the Philippines called "Probinsyano" where the protagonist has 100 lives. his like son-guko of Japanese anime. yah!
Great video Jessica. Racism is a hot-button issue all over the world. I agree there is racism in every country. It can come in many forms like skin color, religion, culture. But seeing you, how you have embraced and loved the PH is proof that people from diff. Cultures can learn to co-exist in harmony. There is still hope to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s Dream of equality into reality
Fascination or ignorance is different from racism. From fascination and ignorance, you learn differences and try to embrace them as soon as you discover them. Racism, it's learning differences and despise them. It's not wrong to be ignorant or fascinated, what's wrong is when you despise what's different. I don't know why but when you said that Koreans look down on Filipinos but you see us as beautiful made me happy. I felt like crying from joy. That's why I love you ate Jessica. The world needs more people like you
Went for a vacation in Seoul/Incheon for 2 weeks and had my fair share of discrimination. I can't imagine what permanent foreign residents have to go through.
Such a thoughtful discussion and video. I think Jessica needs to retry applying to the universities and colleges in the Philippines. She is very smart and open-minded.
Let's face it Koreans think highly of themselves like they are Gods and Goddesses, if you're going to ask if Koreans are racist? Simple answer yes! Yes! Yes! and Yes!
wow! hats off for braving this very sensitive topic and pulled it off seamlessly. I really appreciate your thoughts on racism in a deeper perspective. You're such a genius young lady!
Chris answered correctly on why he is the better fit English teacher. And in addition to his answer, Bilingual or Multiligual fellow Asian is your best English teacher because we can relate with our Asian culture that we share. There are many words in Asian languages that is not in English. And you can speak English with any accent. It's the Grammar that is more important. this is Tita Jing😊always watching from California USA
As a Korean, I'm wholeheartedly feel ashamed about what these foreigners had gone thru while in Korea. I think the older generation in Korea are being more biased in their preconceived notion against racism or different culture. They solemnly believe since the face Korea has been homogenous for a long period of time, it's very unlikely for them to get out of their comfort zone. Personally, i believe it is being arrogant and ignorant for anyone to be racist against anyone just bc the fact they have different race. I hope the general population in Korea would accept foreigners more friendly and amicably soon and would like to see more foreigners living in Korea in the future.
I am doing a research a simple research here in youtube related to my lesson then I found this video its really amazing .The topics that you 3 talked about are really gave to me a great explanations about more ideas in korea and philippines.Theres a lot of things that very confusing but you all shared it without hesitation .Its well said .I really expecting another video with you 3 again😍❤️
The second I see the title I got flashbacks of my years in South Korea. I'll watch this later when I've calmed down. Hope it's not another plastikan moments.
If Korean person nice to me then I give it back , but if Korean person not nice to me expect my bully back , that's me , Ryan bang is a nice person he loves Philippines so well that's why many filipinos love him as our own !
In the eyes of god everything he made was equal🙏✝️ Never be a judgemental to others Korean must respect Pilipinos because..pilipinos help korean..during korean war
thank you so much for this video! ive been really wanting to get a job in korea specifically a teaching job, so if it's possible i wanna hear some information or tips from them. LOVE YOU JESSICA! 😗
Awwww😢 I can feel them.. it's really inevitable anywhere we go,there will always be racism, been there, wow ure so good in this luv, thank you for talking about this sensitive one bravely! 💖
hi ate moyyy ❤️
Ingat kayo diyan lagi.🙏💘💘
hi moy keep safe..

That Filipino male teacher was too kind. He should have shouted back to that ignorant Korean woman in the bus, “I’m here to teach your kids how to speak English and to behave properly so they don’t grow up to be as ignorant as you!” Then hit her with a lawsuit.
East Asians are still in need of civility and Christian conversion despite having achieved some semblance to order. This is manifested in their overly strict class and age system and why they themselves live in extreme anxiety to the point of being suicidal. Sorry but, let’s call spade a spade.
Jessica should start a podcast, I think it fits her. She's so vocal.
I agree
@@akopito5898 I'm surely gonna listen to her if she did.
If ever I do start it, on which platform should it be? 😆
@@jessicaleeseul both Spotify and RUclips (just like what Will Dasovich is doing).
I listen to it eveytime she does not. Her voice is soothing to the ears.
Watching this again and realizing that Chris is one of the characters in Squid Game ^^ So cool!
when first time I watched this vlog I have noticed but he is seems familiar. And I check the cast of Squid game, I believe he is.
HAHAHAHAHA same
Wait which one
Oh wait he is
@@calmly7798 yes he is
Even my English teacher said "There's no wrong in English as long us they understand you. There's no right or wrong grammar of it, the important is you understand each other.

As a black american man, I used to live in Seoul Korea and I had my experiences of discrimination and racism in Seoul Korea. I did not let that ruining my experience in Seoul, because I had great times in Seoul as a black american man. Good video Jessica, also I think we as people need to embrace other people's culture to make racism better around the world.
everywhere you go there will be discrimination and racism.
True 👍 South Korea racism country
"to make racism better" what?
I agree, I too being a black american took the same view as you. I lived in Ulsan for 3 years and I'm curious, for you who was more friendly, city Koreans or country side Koreans?
For me countryside was awesome.

I remembered my Korean HS classmate here in the PH apologizing to us out of nowhere because on how generally Koreans looked down on Filipinos. He said that after staying in the PH, he was ashamed on how Filipinos are talked about in Korea. That happened yeeeaaarrrsss agooo! I thought it stopped but I guess I was wrong.
Of course. I was an English tutor exclusively for korean students here in the Philippines. The kids would always say that Filipinos are poor and are just living good because of them, funny but i think they get these thoughts from their parents. I went to S.Korea in 2018, in the bus I was standing and it was quite cramped inside, my knees touched a woman's leg, she was sitting, but she tried kicking my legs to push me away. S.Korea doesnt feel like a warm country to me, no matter how much filipinos embrace their culture. My opinions based on my experiences.
they clearly never heard of Korea in the 70s lmao
Base from my experience, Korean kids are disrespectful. I also experienced that with their parents.
When I went to ph as a Korean. Little kids touched me bc my skin was light. It was shocking but that would not ruin my time in ph. I hope your inferiority get you bad way
@@evd549they're just US puppet
When CHRIS was questioned about his ability to teach English, he handled the situation very well. Instead being overly-defensive or sensitive about it, he managed to find a common ground with that person. It eventually became the reason why that Korean enrolled to be his student. The difference between learning fom a native speaker vs a non-native speaker is that the latter has first-hand experience in learning English as a 2nd language. They automatically have a connection w/ their students & would easily understand how it feels to learn and adjust to English.
From Chris standpoint or any Filipinos we normally understand if the person you are talking to does not really know how to speak english. We dont normally react right away instead we help and guide them on how to do it.
As a Japanese, racism is everywhere even here in the Philippines but I find Filipinos more welcoming than being racist. Been staying here for a little over 3 years now and I've been enjoying my stay here so far. I also made a lot of friends already. Too bad I have to move out soon due to the nature of my work.
Yea some will discriminate you here but not to the extent of physical harm. Most of the filipinos are well aware of the foreigners especially in my province here in palawan(since we're a tourist destination) were mostly everyday I can see foreigners (before the pandemic hits).
yeah filipinos are not racist....? ? only to those foreigner white people. but if you came from the province yeah expect pinoys are one of the most racist people on earth..

Jessica is one eloquent speaker. Love how she explains, points out the obvious yet smoothly traverses through the context of her thoughts. Her accent is fascinating, at least to me. I can feel the purity of her intention in her delivery, en point. A good speaker, indeed.
I remember back in 2018 where I competed in Taekwondo, it was an invitational competition and thankfully there's a lot of filo taekwondo athletes that time who also joined and competed. That time it was very cool to be in a foreign country without your parents just your younger sibling, coaches, and teammates but what I didn't expect is that knetizens would literally talk behind your backs thinking we (more likely me because I'm the only one who was able to understand) wouldn't be able to understand them. It really hurts because you are an athlete and you are there to compete and enjoy all new learnings. It hurts saying that "we are so noisy" "unwelcomed athletes" "we should go back home". Even if my fam and I went to other foreign countries for vacation I would always here people being racist.
At this point of her YT journey, Jessica Lee doesn’t need to prove anything (to please people, to earn respect, get more views, etc.) yet she uses her platform wisely. This is responsible content creation. 💯
SKL, I just watched the Squid Game (ep.4 pa ako) on Netflix and immediately recognized Chris. Haha. I even checked the credits to confirm it was him. Then I went back here just to comment this. Hahaha Galing nyo sa tug-of- war kuya! Good luck sa next game! Sana hindi ka mamatay 😅 hahaha

THEIR CONVERSATION is just to soften discrimination BUT they did not really talked about the REAL discrimination against Filipinos. OFW is the definition of people's perception of Filipinos not only in Korea but other parts of the world.
True nag eexpect ako na aminin nila yung racism nila instead of saying not all koreans are like that.
I have to agree with you on this one. In addition, we tend to soften the blow when there's a camera rolling.
It’s mostly because there is a Korean and we Filipinos tend to treat those who invited us to chat with respect. We accommodate others too much and overlook what is needed to be said *sigh*
@@zhsjsnsb6633 babahaha yea i hate it when filipinos go “hurr durr not everyones like that guise!!11!!1l” masyado tayong gullible
Wow.. Chris is such a eloquent speaker, his insights is just good to hear, it doesn't speak bad about the race itself but gives a nice understanding and gives his opinion.
I had Korean, and other non english nationalities classmates here in the Philippines to study english as it is cheaper here, most of them are nice and I think they don't have problem in the english accent and I just noticed that they really like to be in their own little groups.
I’m a foreigner and I’ve been living here in South Korea for 10 years because of my dad job. Just recently I want to get a new sim for my phone but the owner won’t gave me one since I’m a Filipino. I have alien card but after seeing my passport the shop owner still say no and said that it’s a new policy of the government something. In my thoughts 🤬 Like, what’s your problem with us?
Oh, not only that, recently also, I was applying for a job, then the person interviewing me what’s my nationality, after saying that I’m a Filipino, he then do a judge look. Then told me that they don’t accept Filipino’s and said that That my kind should work on the bar only or something blah blah blah… The discrimination is so 🤬 real. I don’t generalize all korean cause I have korean friends and classmates also but most Koreans do judge your skin color, your nationality, your look and everything. Especially oldies. Well, some younger ones but mostly oldies. It’s hurt.
The fact that Koreans want to travel and live here in the Philippines for good and Filipinos are giving them a warm welcome. But when Filipinos go to Korea, it's the complete exact opposite.
Not really, watch her video on her experiences when she was growing up in Pinas, people made fun of her eyes. Her other Korean friends also said the same. There are racists in all countries, kahit sa Pinas.

"Hey Guys it's Jessica here"
The iconic into 💓💙💓
I just get reminded of Sylvia and Moy making fun of it. Lmao.
Jessica is so well-spoken. She delivers her thoughts in very organized and understandable manner that her message no doubt transcends. I love her.
I'm Fil-Am (Filipino American), born, raised and educated in the US and working as an Assistant Professor for almost 15 years in South Korea and this happens to me all the time. From very young kids aged 5 or 6 all the way to the elders in their sixties and seventies. And most of the stares are not friendly, but rather disgust because they assume that I'm from a third world country and probably working in a factory, thus in their eyes, beneath them.
I think it's a BS excuse that most Koreans use when they stare at foreigners in South Korea. There are too many foreigners living here already and it still happens everywhere. I believe Koreans just use this excuse (that they're staring because of curiosity or because it is new) as a means to normalize and perpetuate the action towards foreigners. Koreans know when they stare at foreigners, they can get away with it. They also know that they are making the foreigner feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed, and that's the main purpose of it. And rather than acknowledge that it is wrong and shouldn't be done, when confronted, Koreans revert to this BS excuse of "I'm just curious" in order to save face.
The fact that the host of the video uses this reasoning as well just proves that this excuse has been used and passed down from one generation to the next. The first step in solving a problem is acknowledging there is one and until Koreans admit that staring at foreigners is not done out of curiosity, it will continue.
Here in middle-east, we combine languages like a combination of English, Arabic, Hindi, Malayam, Nepali, Tagalog. If we need to break each sentence or word it's okay as long as we understand each other (with a full-body sign, not just a normal hand gesture while speaking). Especially here in the construction field because we deal with lots of Labourers who barely speaks English.
I love how Jessica loves to deep dive into these types of issues. We get entertained and learn a lot at the same time. Plus you can really see how organized she is, I love her editing style as it's like a book, there's the topic and sub-topics where we can follow along the main idea that they are discussing. I'm currently studying topik and planning to take masters in Korea soon and this really is relevant~
Kuya : Ang kulit...
JES: ako? hahahhahahahahahha AHAGAHAHHA so cute
"I am a Filipino but I was able to learn English and this is how I speak English. Just imagine you're a Korean and English will become your second language. How is it? Coming from someone who just speaks only English. What do you think would be the difference?"
A big slap in the face! I love this guy 👍 Exactly! This was also what I had in mind when talking about English Accent. What's so great about American Accent or British Accent? It was their mother tongue. Before they start being racist, they should come here in the Philippines, learn Filipino Language, then speak fluent Tagalog.
Me myself I can speak Tagalog, English, Bisaya and a little Japanese and Korean. But them, they only speak their mother tongue but think their great on their own 🙂
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE
Totally agree! I don't get it when accent becomes an issue. British people naturally have the British accent BECAUSE they are British and so with the Americans who definitely have the American accent. Do you expect them to have an Australian accent? Why speak about the obvious? Actually, Americans do have different accents too. They have the North American accent, and the South American accent or the Cali accent. Why do you expect Filipinos to have a British accent or an American accent when Koreans do have an accent too? It's really the ability to communicate that is more important. Remember, even two people with the same accents do have misunderstandings when they can't communicate well.
@@yves_7369 It was the result of colonial mentality of Western Country and how they brainwashed the people. You should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines", you'll learn a lot from there. But to be precise, you should watch "How The US Stole The Philippines Reaction" by Kirby Araullo. Kirby is a Filipino so I believe his words are more accurate.

Facts: many Koreans wants to travel philippines, and many Filipino's wants to travel Korea. LT
Honestly no, Philippines is infamous for pickpockets and crimes in Korea. I dont meant this to be mean, just saying the image of the Philippines in Korea
Not me Philippines 🇵🇭 🇬🇧 is way better than in Korea, inspite of high poor population!!not being bias!!
@@uwuwu7553 It's gradually changing because of TV Shows exposing the beauty of the Philippines to Koreans. In 2019, South Koreans was the no.1 international visitors in the country, mostly they visit Cebu.
@@kirojiro23 thats why only Cebu is famous. We are talking about the image of the Philippines. And also extra judicial killing were shown in Korea news back then.
If its variety show of course they will show the bright side of a place. They’ll get a lot of hate if they did otherwise.
@@uwuwu7553 And that's the purpose of Jessica's Channel. To spread Filipino culture awareness 😀
It is as simple as ACCEPTANCE of other cultures or for who they are as individual. We are all different and we cannot force other to be like who we are. It is also the word RESPECT that can avoid racism.
Yes! I strongly believe in only judging an individual. Not their race
Hello! Yes, I've experienced racism in Korea 3x, for being Filipino. Twice of which at the airport in Busan. One of them was very traumatic!! It still shivers down my spine after 9 years...
As a tourist in korea, i was treated nicely.. At the subway, a korean senior gave me 20K won! I was so happy thank you seoul! Hehe
This was really interesting, got me hooked till the end. Conversations were relaxed, and engaging, it’s just like a group of mature friends talking about adult stuff and our realities. Cheers! 🍻

Although biases may be a natural leaning of individual being, we have to help avert a certain bias from becoming cultural or xenophobic, leadership and education gives the momentum and sharing of experiences like this is a source for learning.
To be honest, I personally have never been exposed to racism even if I've lived and worked in the US. Even when I burried my father in Missouri. As an asian, people's looks did not matter to me. Even if I had a conversation with a cousin about how "poor" the philippines was, I told him we had five maids.
I personally had a maid who would looke after me. He shut up after hearing I had my own personal maid.
The fact that he remembers the exact date , it must be traumatizing for him :(
I remember way back 2013 in our church in Philippines there were korean visitors because we had youth camps every year and we became friends with one of them and she admitted that her friends and most of her fellowmen always look down the Filipinos they think they are superior than us higher than us and etc and I proved that the time when we were about having our dinner they didn't want to eat with us instead they eat jn a much better place than us. And I have seen some of the korean artists mocks us the way we talk in english.
oh my thats sad
Yes! It's true
It’s kinda ironic because their English is just as bad and they go to the Philippines to study English to become better at it. Unfortunately their stereotypes will be there until the Philippines becomes more stable. Maybe in a few decades it will get better but right now I highly doubt it
Bruh that is messed up! We even speak clearer English than them (sounds bold but it somehow true till this day right now) hopefully they would learn not judge quickly and the fact they learn english from us is not a right to mock us like that regardless of our social status and background I mean not all koreans are bad (Even if I like South Korea not everything they do is justifyable especially when its wrong I mean also other countries but yeah that is there) but some are just racist just saying its just disrespectful as Filipino and any other race that faces racism!
But at the same time Filipinos mock Filipinos about there English
K-dramas are the romanticized versions of the actual South Korean society, it happens but maybe in a 1 of thousands or millions. And yes, they are correct we have all innate racism, no matter how someone denies to themselves, it really exists inside us whether verbal or not. People tend to be judgmental for something they don't know or new to them.
Although some recent Kdramas right now uncover the dark reality of their society like school pressure or cults like Sky Castle and Save me ,Kpop industry, Lgbtq and many taboos (problems in life ) I mean even if they are dramatized they uncovered the reality of their lives not just fairytales or something like what past kdramas do. I mean even if I'm a fan of Kdramas I don't really view South Korea as that in real life where everythng is unicorns and rainbows which is definitely wrong
@@juanchoresultay2704 true, at least some (production) tend to be experimental and releasing K dramas from the other side of the coin.
1:23 MANY in Manila, Cebu City, and in Subic Bay. Many Korean owned restaurants and businesses only have Korean words in their business buildings. They say they only cater only to Koreans even though they're in the PHILIPPINES! Sadly the government doesn't do nothing about it....
Jessica could walk through fire and come out unscathed. She's not afraid to talk about topics that can get people into a combative stance because she has this power to diffuse tense situations..
i don’t believe “we’re all racist”, but I will say we are all prejudice or have prejudices. I personally don’t think we should say “we’re all racist” coz that would almost normalize racism. Which is isn’t and shouldn’t be. Awesome video guys!
Normalize or not, that's another topic. But if we were born as human, we're all racist. That's just fact. A classic experiment would be prisons. When humans are thrown back in to such state, raw and primitive instinct will kick in. That's why, in the prisons, inmates group themselves by race.
Ben I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. I feel that racism is not human nature, but nurtured. I don’t see toddlers hating on other toddlers for being different. Therefore it’s difficult for me to accept that humans are racist in nature.
@@maggo_1111 Agreed, racism is just a social construct.
@@maggo_1111VERY WELL SAID! 🗣️
My wife is from Davao and you are right about Filipinos and English. She's been speaking it all her life. There are kids now whose only main language is English! And even in the heart of the country on a little island where you don't know the dialect they'll speak English. For Asian countries this is massive. It make the Philippines stand out for foreigners like you say. But it's also great to learn Filipino languages because you can just use English when you don't know how to say things. You end up with Taglish for example.
On point to Ate Caryl! "Subway" really. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE TRANSPO. Always on time and very convenient when you travel around Seoul and even nearby provinces.

They are UP students, no wonder!!!
i love jessica's videos ) : quality content that's fun AND vocal and in a really easy to digest way too !! NEVER mindless or ignorant, it's kinda rare to see a youtuber who's so aware and tries to be rlly sensitive with certain topics but is also not afraid to speak about them. i love u girl keep doing what ur doing
Filipinos are known for being friendly and generous, so I actually love giving gifts for every season like, pepero day, valentines, etc. And almost everyday, I might have missed a day or a week for 4yrs but I love giving candies, chocolates or coffee to my co workers and someone asked me, "Are you rich? Aren t you living a wood house in Ph?" Like what the h. And they keep on saying like, "Aren t philippines like people living with a gun?" And with my most sincere emotions tryin to make good friends, I felt so heart broken honestly.
I never thought that the Koreans will underrate the accent of the Filipinos in english actually, the Filipinos should underrate the accent of the Koreans instead the way they speak in English is not a smooth as the Filipinos accent it's really funny and ironic but anyway like others said it's shouldn't an issue anymore the most important thing is respect and you are both understand each other
Right. Even on kdrama they often focus too much on accent but messed up the pronunciation most of the time. Because trying to sound like this and that
it's just like how other ppl make fun of the indian accent like dude of course every country has an accent when speaking english
I'm an Indian and I think filipino accent sounds good I mean it's atleast easy to understand and your native language is Tagalog then how can they expect you to speak in a perfect accent:/
@@fieshnchips I agree!
Watching this vlog suddenly got me teary eyed. I dont know why, maybe because I wanna go to other countries too and listening to their experiences, I felt really bad. I hope people will accept and appreciate each other more in the future.
I love Jessica she really knows how to handle and carry the conversation.
I really came back to this vlog just to say that he's the guy in the Squid Game. I remember him because of what he shares here. He's a good actor. 💖 Ang galing galing 💖
So Chris is in The Squid Game. It's big news here in the PH just about now. Congratulations Player 276! So proud of you kabayan!
You had an interesting topic to talk about in this video.it gave me additional informations on what to expect when in Korea; that there are things that dont exists in real life as seen in kdramas. As to English communication, as long as both person talking to each other, do understand even if there's an accent, there's nothing to worrv about.
I also teach Korean students and I must say that some of them are racist because they are not that expose to other culture. i think educating them properly will definitely change everything in the future. So keep on teaching seonsaengnims! 💗
I know a girl who is Thai. She's obsessed with Chinese and Koreans as being the "best Asian" races and thinks of Filipinos as being the lowest. She had a whole class system of Asain races. I'm pretty sure she wishes she was Korean. That said, she's nice to everyone and has several Filipino friends. Its weird... Its doesn't seem to be a hate type thing... its more like saying that person is rich and that person is poor, I would rather be rich... but being friends with both.
Many Koreans call us monkey in our own country WTF.....This is the reason why sometimes you regret why Filipinos did not retreat in the very important battle of Yultong. This is what we get for fighting for their freedom. Life is so unfair.
If only time could go back😩 there might be no kpop, kdrama or SK as we know it today. They could have been just planting potatos for the Kim's now.
I love the easy to understand way of explaning things with thought provoking questions. Thanks for this.
Those are all interesting topics jessica!
I think Korean who have racist minded are ignorant people. Most of racist Koreans are living in such a small world and lack of informational situation.
At the first time, I encountered Korean racists who are judging my Filipino husband bad, I was so angry at them. But now I feel patheic with them.
Btw I'm Korean girl who married Filipino guy.
Korean Society = 90% RACIST. It's just facts ma'am. We know. +30yrs experience with these Korean animals taught me sooo much. Korean mind = White people(#1 Superior Race in the world) + Koreans(2nd Superior race)
They didn't know about the history of Battle of Yultong during 1950 where Philippines send troops to help South Korea against China and North Korea...
As a Filipino im very upset and dissapointed that some koreans discriminates Filipinos and other Southeast Asians because of their faces and colored of their skin.
Kudos to the guests.. Very well said... Very well explained...This is somehow will open to other people who want to be in Korea whether an for education or pursuing career. You have to be physically and more mentally and emotionally ready.
I am a fan! Have been binge watching your vlogs and I love how you love the Philippines and Filipinos. Excited to see more of your daily vlogs and contents like these, bringing social awareness to diversity.
It's true that (MANY and not some) Koreans look down on Filipinos. You will notice this on their choice of words that they use with you and their body language. They would even be surprised and look you up and down if you dress better (or in designers) than them. That's when I was there. Here, the older men have this thinking that every Filipino can be paid off. The younger ones feel like they're oppas from K-dramas. The few Koreans that I personally know to be decent are the ones that stayed in the PH for a long time. It's actually not about racism but superiority (or the feeling of). Just because they don't say it, doesn't mean it's not true.

Jess:" the 🇵🇭 is great its very convenient for foreigner to travel to the 🇵🇭 bcoz everyone most of them knows how to speak fluent english and their accent for me its very understandable and i really love the accent"
Thank you jess for loving filipino english accent💖💙💖
But when Filipinos go to Korea, it's the complete exact opposite. You feel unwelcomed.
Just put it in your mind that there is nothing wrong having an accent.
Filipinos treat Koreans as superior. They adore everything about Korea. Meanwhile, most Koreans DGAF about Filipinos.
Even kids can talk english even its not the first language 👍
Wait really?! They speak English there? I rlly wanna visit now
I live how you say "Hello it's Jessica Here" will never get old ily💜💜
I'm from the PH and I'm ashamed to admit to being insensitive to other cultures during my younger years back in the 90s. Particularly to indians and chinese folks. We call them 'Bumbay' and 'Intsik beho' for reasons I didn't really know. All that gradually changed when I became friends with quite a lot of them in school. I remember during a soccer match tinisod ako ng kalaban, by tinisod I mean the soccer version of tinisod AKA sinipa... *Guess who was there to defend me? My indian friend.*
.
In high school, special PE ako since I was getting bullied all the time. Korean yung tennis buddy ko and he was one of my best buddies back then. Joo Hyuk if you're reading this, tara laro minsan. HAHAH.
.
So anyway, definitely exposure, diversity, and respect will play a HUGE part in putting an end this ridiculous thing we call racism.
is that racist though? I've heard my parents use those words to refer to Indian and Chinese people. There's isn't anything derogatory being said when they mention those terms though. I feel like those words are different from a word like "egoy" which kinda implies an ignorant/ uneducated person of African descent. If "egoy" is used, it probably means something derogatory but using the word "negro" (pronounced the Filipino/ Spanish way, of course) or "itim" wouldn't be racist.
@@kawaiiafangirl the term "bumbay" is racist. while the terms like what you've said isn't. and maybe it really just depends on the intention a person wants to convey.
Living here in korea for 3 years already.
yeah racism and rudeness are in the veins of some koreans mostly ajushis, ajummas or maybe some youths. But i still can say that most of them are very kind too, and even experienced their kindness.
Our Korean Pastor here once said that he hated Filipinos the most before, but after living in the Philippines, look, now He Loves Filipinos the most he said.
People always handle things they aren't familiar in bad ways, it's been going on since the dawn of time, and it will always happens, we have to start practicing being open-minded to other cultures from other parts of the world, if we do that, then we will be okay.
Thank you for this informative video. It’s an eye-opener of the reality in this world.
Filipinos are very aware of those issues like Koreans mocking the accent of Filipinos when it comes to talking in english that’s why in our university filipinos always mock those korean foreign students for not being able to speak in english the most harsh words were like “you and your fellow koreans are good at mocking our english accent while majority of you doesn’t know how to speak english now tell me which is more better?”, i mean it does sounds very rude but if you think of it those are facts
Chris is now famous 🙂 he is on squadgame ❤️
As a black woman. It’s not what you say, but how you say it. I always tell people if they want to know something about my race just ask. But it’s how it is said, and the action your body is using while saying it. But a lot of nations still has this mindset that. White skin, pink lip, slim body, long hair. is the perfect image. There’s so much more to the world that people are missing out on because people are stuck in thinking one way.
I love this video Jessica.. this is not just ordinary blog but also informative as well.. we Filipino are discriminated in the other Foreign country.. sad to say 😔...

Korea has K-drama, we also have this long running PH-drama here in the Philippines called "Probinsyano" where the protagonist has 100 lives. his like son-guko of Japanese anime. yah!
Thank you for inviting two of our kababayans giving their insights about living in Korea.
Isn't the guy is in the series "Squid Game"? I saw him as one of the participants lol He's so good!
Out of topic, but I think Chris is in the series 'Squid Game'. He's just kinda familiar to me. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
Yeah he is. No.256
Great video Jessica. Racism is a hot-button issue all over the world. I agree there is racism in every country. It can come in many forms like skin color, religion, culture. But seeing you, how you have embraced and loved the PH is proof that people from diff. Cultures can learn to co-exist in harmony. There is still hope to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s Dream of equality into reality
literally no one has denied that racism is everywhere please stop saying this
Fascination or ignorance is different from racism. From fascination and ignorance, you learn differences and try to embrace them as soon as you discover them. Racism, it's learning differences and despise them. It's not wrong to be ignorant or fascinated, what's wrong is when you despise what's different.
I don't know why but when you said that Koreans look down on Filipinos but you see us as beautiful made me happy. I felt like crying from joy. That's why I love you ate Jessica. The world needs more people like you
Went for a vacation in Seoul/Incheon for 2 weeks and had my fair share of discrimination. I can't imagine what permanent foreign residents have to go through.
Such a thoughtful discussion and video. I think Jessica needs to retry applying to the universities and colleges in the Philippines. She is very smart and open-minded.
Let's face it Koreans think highly of themselves like they are Gods and Goddesses, if you're going to ask if Koreans are racist? Simple answer yes! Yes! Yes! and Yes!
wow! hats off for braving this very sensitive topic and pulled it off seamlessly. I really appreciate your thoughts on racism in a deeper perspective. You're such a genius young lady!
Chris answered correctly on why he is the better fit English teacher. And in addition to his answer, Bilingual or Multiligual fellow Asian is your best English teacher because we can relate with our Asian culture that we share. There are many words in Asian languages that is not in English. And you can speak English with any accent. It's the Grammar that is more important. this is Tita Jing😊always watching from California USA
As a Korean, I'm wholeheartedly feel ashamed about what these foreigners had gone thru while in Korea. I think the older generation in Korea are being more biased in their preconceived notion against racism or different culture. They solemnly believe since the face Korea has been homogenous for a long period of time, it's very unlikely for them to get out of their comfort zone. Personally, i believe it is being arrogant and ignorant for anyone to be racist against anyone just bc the fact they have different race. I hope the general population in Korea would accept foreigners more friendly and amicably soon and would like to see more foreigners living in Korea in the future.

The second I see the title I got flashbacks of my years in South Korea. I'll watch this later when I've calmed down. Hope it's not another plastikan moments.
If Korean person nice to me then I give it back , but if Korean person not nice to me expect my bully back , that's me , Ryan bang is a nice person he loves Philippines so well that's why many filipinos love him as our own !
My korean friend told me that they hate or always look down on dark skin people, black or southeast Asian
In the eyes of god everything he made was equal🙏✝️
Never be a judgemental to others
Korean must respect Pilipinos because..pilipinos help korean..during korean war
