      I'm not forcing this but I have the most true important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁

      There are no black people in the 3D industry in Korea, and most of them are South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia. We need to pay more attention to Asian people who are closer to us, not black people
      On June 24, a fire broke out at a factory in Hwaseong, South Korea, killing 20 foreigners...
      All of the foreigners are from other Asian countries

    It’s really beautiful to see how the responses have shifted more positively over the years because I would watch videos like this and there was just way more negative things that foreigners, specifically black foreigners, would say with their experience in Korea but now it seems things are shifting so that’s amazing. I’m planning to go over there next year for university so hopefully I can add to the positive feedback.

      When videos about black people in Korea started popping up, everyone was way too used to how they were treated in America, but now they've come to acknowledge the fact that Koreans don't look at them the same way racist Anglos do. The dynamic is just completely different, and it should be the first thing to realise before going to Korea and Asia in general. In fact, I live in another Western country, and I have never seen racism like in America my entire life, so I think America is a pretty damn special place.

    The only racism I've experienced so far (DIRECTLY) in person was rejection from places like karaoke spots or massage & beauty spots. As far as dating is just BETTER for foreigners in general. I mean I never had a problem with women here old or young. I did get fetishized a lot, but also complimented even more. But that really comes down to your actual looks than race.

      Dating and being fetishized are two different things. When you’re fetishized, usually dating is way off of the table. More foreigners face that when living in Asia (being fetishized, and not taken seriously in the dating game) than almost anything else. I hope people eventually realize that being fetishized is not a good thing. It’s negative.

      China is extremely racist nowadays. You’d feel the difference if you went back. The ‘golden’ period of being a foreigner in China ended around 2018-2019, some people say 2016. Btw, I realized discrimination in East Asia has something to do with numbers. The fewer the number of foreigners, the better they treat them, once that numbers reaches a certain threshold, discrimination gets worse too. I think it’s the same everywhere in the world, and that exactly what happened in China.

      Those toxic videos are actually true. A lot of times people are deported out of your country for speaking the truth, so it has been a lot of sugar coating going on about how nice your country is. Literally Satan is everywhere so to paint a country with no sin at all is definitely not believable. People are quickly to noticed USA are not doing right, but refused to admit other countries are no better either.

Racism is ugly as f**k and it matters how a society deals with it. I'm Brazilian and brown and I can tell racism is pretty bad there (I live in Ireland now), even though it's a multicultural and mixed country.

    • @edde8624
      @edde8624 Год назад +4

      Racism is always worse in countries that have more diversity. Even research shows this. There was a map of bias in USA and it showed how in more White States(like Idaho, South Dakota, Wyoming, etc) there was less bias compared to states that had more diversity(so people who are black, white, latino, etc)...Why is this? Because as people experience other groups more, they actually become more biased and not less(because people always think it's the opposite). There are books that talk about tribalism in all of us and how difficult it is to change that mindset. When other groups come to your nation in large numbers, you become more cautious because you don't want to change your culture and then you start becoming more negative towards those that are not of your own tribe. I've seen this both in California(where Whites started moving out in large numbers when more latinos started coming in) and also in Canada when places with certain Asian populations became high(and also Whites started moving out in large numbers).

    Something with that Korean food/water/air… because all of them look so healthy. Their skin looks so smooth and cool.

    I am considering the move to Korea right now and this video puts me at ease. Hell, I get stared at here in the U.S. I’ve had white people touch my hair here in the U.S. I am ready to be at peace and make my mark in the world! Korea, please be a good home to me!

    The reasons why some Korean clubs do not allow foreigners are as follows.
    1. American soldier in Korea used violence or committed s.e.x crimes, but they could not be dealt with under Korean law. (Search the 'Itaewon m.u.r.d.e.r case 1997')
    2. And some Chinese and foreign tourists ignored Korean public rules and manners. As a result, there were some negative images of foreigners, especially American soldier, Chinese
    3. Some foreigners acted thinking they were special beings. especially Some foreign men, in particular, acted as privileged as English-speaking foreigners. For example smoked in a non-smoking area. causing problems by teasing female guests, and swearing or using violence against employees who restrained them.
    4. Basically, many korean clubs have rules. There are rules for dress, age restrictions, and even appearance. Even Koreans can't enter this kind of club
    5. As the number of foreigners in Korea increases, foreigners often ignore Korean manners and rules. So some clubs think negatively about foreigners. On the contrary, there are some clubs where only foreigners can enter, and Koreans cannot enter.

      이게 진짜 이유죠. 이 채널 댓글들 보면 한국인이 꽤나 인종차별적이라고 말하죠. 하지만 꽤나 오해가 많아요. 진짜 이유는 외국인들이 한국의 규칙이나 매너를 잘 모르고, 알려고 하지도 않고, 알아도 무시하는 경우가 많기 때문이죠. 얼마전 멕시코 유튜버가 한국 왔었는데 클럽 못들어갔다고 인종차별이라 말함. 근데 반바지 입고서 강남 클럽을 들어가려 했음. 한국인도 그런 복장으로는 못들어가는 걸 인종차별이라고 말하더군요. 정작 그 유튜버는 지하철에서 마스크 벗고 시끄럽게 떠들며 방송하는데 한국인들은 외국인이란 이유로 참아 줬음. 그리고 술집에서 프랑스 남자가 실내흡연을 해서 직원이 금연이라고 하니까 욕하면서 계속 담배를 피더군요. 그리고 한국인은 영어 못한다며 불평은 엄청 해요. 그들은 기본적인 한국어를 배울 생각도 없어요. 어떤 외국인들은 부자 중국인들이 한국에서 하는 짓들을 똑같이 하더군요. 한국인들은 한국에 살아도 영어 중국어를 다 말해야 하지만, 자신은 영어만 해도 괜찮다고 생각해요. 이런 외국인들이 일부일지라도 계속 그런 일이 생기면 외국인에 대한 인상이 나빠질 수 밖에 없죠. 솔직히 말해 한국이 외국처럼 인종차별 표현을 공개적으로 하거나 폭행을 하는 나라도 아닌데, 오히려 황당하죠. 그나마 인종차별적이라면 조선족이나 중국인, 동남아 인들에 대한 이미지 정도인데, 그것도 다른 나라에 비해 심한 것도 아니죠. 그냥 원래 한국이란 나라가 자본주의가 심한 나라라서 한국인이든 동남아인이든 백인이든 흑인이든 옷차림이나 외모, 경제력에 따라 이미지가 다를 뿐, 다른 나라들처럼 대놓고 욕하거나 폭행하는 나라도 아닌데..

      I have heard this too. Koreans are usually reserved and you can imagine foreigners coming in and behaving badly. It would upset the locals and I dont blame them for limiting entry, but lots of people seeing it as racism.

      @@maamyy right. The problem was his nationality, and the limitations of Korean law. In fact, there have been many incidents related to the U.S. military since before. And most were covered. However, the incident was crucial for Koreans' negative image of American soldiers. Later, it was even made into a film.

    Korea is a country where there is one nationality forming the nation. People stare at you not because your skin color but some of them might never seen a person with different skin color.

    I got here at the end of November and I’ve been having positive experiences. I do get stared at a lot, especially because I’m the only foreigner here in my area. But so far I’ve been able to get used to it. Everyone keeps their distance but they are nice. Lots of people like my braids too😂😂my boss asked me if it is my real hair but it’s all good

    I think the reason of Koreans don’t want to be too close foreign people is the body scent, as an East Asian I can definatly smell it from non east people Asian, and many tends to ware deodorant and perfume ( which is not as common in Asian since we have little to no body smell because of our genes) those make the scent even stronger. I’m not saying this is bad but this is from my personal experience
