As a Mexican I’ve noticed this too. But I do think that South East Asians idolized Koreans (especially the younger generation). I had an argument with a korean guy and he says that it's SEA’s fault for romanticizing them that it boosts their egos, it leaves me speechless! coz its true af 😭. Respect for this dude for exposing his own ppl, it shows that not all Koreans are bad and aren’t afraid to talk about the problems they have.
There’s a Korean RUclipsr who just travels around and brags about how women just throw themselves at him and how easy they are. Him and his attitude are disgusting, but I also can’t deny there are plenty of women who need to stop idolizing Korean men as oppas and start respecting themselves more
I have a Korean Aunt that told me why she married my Uncle. He’s Mexican American. But when I first met her she stared at me. I said to myself here we go again. Bluntly asked me what are you? You look more like a mixed Asian Filipino. Yes I told her I’m half Mexican & my father is from Guam. She told me I knew you were different. Your father’s family probably has Japanese or Chinese in them. Me yeah we do. I asked her are you okay with me. She said yes because my children will be half Mexican & Korean. If I take them to Korea they will be looked down at including myself for marrying a foreigner.
To most of them it's just a basic lack of knowledge. I bet 90% of Koreans wouldn't know why Mexicans would often ace at Pump It Up competitions! Simple knowledge of all that lore and a shared culture would make it going a lot smoother between two cultures...

You should already noticed those who come from NK who wasn't a military or government officials will have better understanding of lives because they were facing insane on daily basis compared to SK where people tear down each other no matter the wealth and position.

How could there be N. Koreans working outside of their country? They get executed whenever they try to flee their own country. If they were working outside of their country then they could easily just escape away that way.
As a Japanese, it surprises me just how little variety there are in Korea’s beauty standard and fashion style. Like, EVERYONE follows the exact same mainstream fashion, hairstyle, make up etc. And I feel like this connects with how they view certain skin tones.

i always found it funny how Koreans look down on the Chinese as well. throughout the hundreds and thousands of years of Korean history, Koreans copied everything the Chinese did. Korea was still seeking protection from China like barely 100 yrs ago. also, as a banknote collector, Korean paper money started to use Hangul like 60~ yrs ago, and Chinese characters were used on South Korean banknotes. as a saying goes, money enhances a person's character and Koreans got rich and started to look down on others.
They can't look down on Chinese. Chinese are Cradle of people who Civilized koreans and made them human. Korea has been a vassal of China for thousand of years. Changing their master from China to United state doesn't change their Subordinate status. After China overtaking the US economy, they have to return to the Chinese vassalhood again just like their Korean ancestors were. 😂
you Chinese people look down on Indians when Indians clelarly influenced your achitecture like the Torii gates and Chinese pagodas and then Boddhidharma influencing Shaolin Kung fu whilst also giving the religion of Buddhism and you look down on us, so everyone is racist in the end.
The Chinese people are easily swayed by the Communist Party, and it’s unfortunate. Around 90% of counterfeit brands worldwide are produced in China, and there have been numerous instances where Chinese people have launched copied versions of Korean variety shows without purchasing the rights. They also make absurd claims that traditional Korean cultural elements like kimchi, taekwondo, and hanbok are theirs. Some even go as far as to say that Jesus and the pyramids originated in China. The people, manipulated in a country without freedom of the press, religion, human rights, or expression, are trapped in a cage.
I used to be a huge koreaboo all thanks to me being exposed to hallyu. I even had Seoul on my travelling bucket list. But the more I learn about South Korea, the more disappointed I get. S. Korea only looks good from a looong distance away. I 'd much rather visit Philipines, Cambodia and Thailand than SK.
As a korean myself, the korean mindset is still uncivilized. They developed too fast economically and social-systemly but their mindset retains elements of their preindustrial selves.

Indians are definitely a beautiful race, and I think what makes the features of Indians stand out is their natural skin.

Fun Fact: According to various sources, Korea has the longest history of slavery, with a continuous chain of slavery that lasted for over 1,400 years, from the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC-668 AD) to the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). This unbroken chain of slavery was maintained by the ruling class, with no significant disruptions or breaks throughout Korean history. Modern Koreans still practicing their Slaver Mentality...
@LongLivetheCapitalist Perhaps it it's the longest recorded history. Then it could be true or not. India has had the cast system, which is a slave/segregation system, for a long time.
if you mean koreans were under the rule of ruling classes, that is probably true, as is true of many cultures that had ruling classes such as royalty, kings, queens and such. i would venture to guess that many were indentured servants. before the advent of enlightenment age many cultures had slavery. i would say that greek and roman cultures had length of slavery longer than 1400 years, much more. where did you get your source, i would be interested to know
@@gideonros2705 The caste system called the varna system, was initially 4000+ years old, but it was not demeaning or oppressive throughout that time. The worst of it, you know now, has taken form 300-400 years ago. Otherwise, it acted more as factionalism, with some having more privilege and others having fewer rights. So, it cannot be equated to slavery. Yes, it was one of the worst inventions of the human mind, but you have to understand that the system was far more complicated than that; if it was really as cruel as Western historians have generalised it to be, it could not have stood the tests of time, would have been overthrown with brute force of masses during its 4000+ period of existence.

@@kimsim6757 I don’t think (and hope) your message had the intention to sound condescending. As such, I must apologize for my mistake. But to answer your question, Kenya and SKorea officially began their diplomatic tie in February 1964 (Yeo Sung-Jun, 2024). The years 1963-1964 were also the start of Kenya’s independence from the British Empire, becoming the sovereign state that stands today (University of Central Arkansas, 2014). Thus, from a post-colonization and post-war context lived by both Kenya and South Korea, this relation might had emerged from a need for alliance between two emerging countries (in the context of the 1960s). Economically, SKorea benefits as much from Kenya than Kenya does from SKorea. Kenya’s geography is rich in primary ressources. As technology progress, the demand and need for those ressources increase. South Korea might be more technologically advanced, but to create these technologies, it must all come from somewhere. Our demands for the semiconductor industry increase for our demands on specific ressources that African communities such as Kenya (in East Africa) or the Congo (in Central Africa) possess. As for the recovery aid sent from Kenya to South Korea during postwar Korea, I could only find information on Wikipedia. More research on my part would thus be needed to fact check that claim, but I hope you’ve learned something on the importance of diplomatic ties with countries and communities within the African subcontinent.

Koreans look down on Filipinos? Not worth of their respect? If the Philippines had their mentality, Filipinos wouldn’t have fought and died defending those same Koreans in their war against North Korea. South Koreans believe they’re so much above Southeast Asians. I’m Filipino-American. That second nationality, I could easily think I’m far above South Koreans. I mean without America, they’d be bowing to Kim Jong Un. Right? They wouldn’t have BTS, Black Pink, etc. Again, South Koreans looking down on Filipinos are either ignoring their own history. Or simply denying their history. Filipinos fought and died so you can have your country free from dictatorship. Respect is the least you owe the Philippines.

You think Philippines did most of the fighting? It was America.😂😂😂 so what. Korea also sent soldiers to Vietnam to fight communists. So what. The reality is of the present not the past. The Filipinos have also been a colony of Spain and America, but have they done to advance. Nothing. They exported maids in the past and to this day they still export maids. Do better before crying
Technological advancement doesn't necessarily mean mental advancement. Like the Americans towards red indians, British towards indians and Europeans towards Africans , Koreans are gradually following their masters.
In Korea, the phrase "you look Southeast Asian" is used to belittle and mock one's appearance. Those who say "it's not racism, it's the fault of individual illegal immigrants" are liars. The reactions of Southeast Asians to Korean lookism and racism are also recognized in major Korean communities. I would like to point out here that most of the reactions there are along the lines of "inferiority complex of Southeast Asians," "jealousy towards Korean white skin," and "there's no need to pay attention to it."
Yet this young man is so articulate, polite an open-minded. It just proves that all Korean are not inherently bad. It's just that most of them lack exposure to other cultures.

Filipinos send out agricultural produce to feed the starving koreans up until the early 1950s even after the war where the Filipinos themselves were having problem with food security. More than a half-century ago, the Philippines was more prosperous than korea who was poor at that time, however I never read or even heard that we were ever arrogant towards our neighbors.
@@Real-ranchia back in those days Philippines was colonized by Americans. Humanitarian food aide at that time in Asia came from the Philippines.

I'm Korean and I approve every single message in this video. South Korea is such an insensitive, conservative, and isolated society and every time I hear these kinds of things, it sickens me. I do want to point out, though, that blaming everything on Korean culture and society for their prejudice against the Jurchens is somewhat misleading and lacks historical context. Korea had been a sinocentric society for centuries; those the Han Chinese considered barbarians were barbarians to the Koreans. The Chinese were just as cruel towards its northern neighbours if not more. Of course, this historical/cultural aspect may have a lot of impact on prejudice in Korean society regarding foreigners today, but I wouldn't fault the Joseon and old Korean societies just for having the sinocentric mindset; it was quite inevitable. To me, the claim this video makes feels somewhat equivalent to "the Romans viewed the Germanic people to be barbaric and persecuted them; they got karma when western rome eventually fell and the ostrogoths conquered Italy."
Sometimes i found Chinese and japan people racist toward Asean... But damn korean racism is another level, it makes another country racism seems like a child play
Japanese racism is polite. You wouldn't know what they're thinking since they have the grace to kept to themselves in the presence of someone they don't like (prohibiting foreigners from entering their store is the most extreme, but there's reason for that, and it's on the bad behavior of foreigners so can't complain about it). Maybe you will feel alienated, but it's better than hearing insult about you, your race and your country in front of your face. I haven't yet encountered blatant Chinese racism in the social medias, though (I should see more videos, I think). I mean, all the foreign people visiting there seem to be pleased enough. And this country have minorities with faces wildly different from the Han Chinese. So they probably more tolerant (especially if you can speak Mandarin). I might be wrong and maybe there are racism somewhere (billion of people without prejudice seems to be impossible).
Fun fact?: There had been found a forum built for Koreans who work in Indonesia to talk among each other, Then it was found out that it was used to talk bad and look down on the Indonesian people by some Koreans after someone in twitter posted a screenshot of the entire conversation. In it, not only are they bad mouthed the culture, but also the religions, people and also called the Indonesians "Cheap Uncivilized monkeys". Does the forum get taken down or not i do not know as there have been no mentions of it.
As a Korean, I am so sorry for the people who felt discrimination by Koreans in any situations. People should not be discriminated and have the right to enjoy happiness and every foreigners can have the right not to be discriminated regardless of skin colours and their countries' economic situations. I never noticed this discrimination around me but it seems to be true based on these lots of comments from foreigners. However, I strongly believe this will be better soon because Korea is becoming more open mided society as the level of acceptance for foreign people increases than the level their parents' generation
As a S.Korean, this video is truly racist. It is not possible to say that there is no racial discrimination in S.Korea, but the same is true of China and the USA, and it is more serious in Japan, Europe and Russia than in S.Korea.
Korea is wellknown for the least racist country in Asia according to foreigners. 👎👎 I think this guy gets paid by the Japanese right wing to slander Koreans.
In Japan, even though pale skin is the general beauty standard, a lot of people actually like tanned skin too. We even have a term to call beautiful tanned skin, 小麦色の肌, and thought to be healthy.
Tanned skin is more popular among boys. while very few Japanese girl pursue tanned skin. Girls are just crazily obsessed with making their skin paler.😅
It’s not about liking one’s particular skin color. Because liking can’t be forced but it’s about showing respect and being kind to anyone irrespective of their skin color.
@@dbvisbvi Pale skin is just prettier and makes you look more pure or innocent looking? I guess. That's why it's so coveted in Asian countries amongst the women.
It was a common theme in East Asian countries throughout the ages. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean all have beauty standards in paler skin tone. However I do not believe it was a racial thing, but more of a social status of the time. Upper society women doesn't have to work the field as the peasant class and naturally would have a paler skin tone as they spend less time under the sun, which also create a preference of paler skin tone being more desirable.
I am Thai living in Taiwan, and eight years ago, I met my friend's Korean boyfriend for the first time. Upon meeting me, he said, "Wow, you are so fat and ugly." I was a bit shocked and didn't know how to react. I wondered if this was a typical way of greeting in Korea. I laughed and replied, "Yes, I know." Later, I learned that many Koreans really believe they are the most good-looking compared to other Asians. It made me think that he might have genuinely believed that Southeast Asians are ugly. This experience left a lasting impression on me.
Not only Koreans but also Chinese and for the most part the Japanese as well. I don't blame them for being arrogant considering they have risen from the ashes to get to where they are right now. They don't seem to think that discrimination is inherently a bad thing. I called out a Ytber named Hans why on this but he keeps deleting and reporting the comments that point out the problem. The Ytber’s channel is mostly focused on Asian-American empowerment, speaking out against Asian hate, and criticizing others for discrimination but he keeps denying the criticism thrown at Asians with the same logic the people he criticizes do. Not a bad guy but it feels as if these people have created an echo chamber that doesn't let them criticize their own.
As a Filipino who has relatives in South Korea, I'm gonna say that my uncle is not like this at all so let's not generalize koreans, but it's undeniable that this is the truth. I heard a story about this girl who was half korean half filipino who had a conversation with koreans about her ethnicity. The moment she mentioned that her mom was Filipino, her korean friends asked her "So where did your dad buy your mom?" which is absolutely appalling. And as a matter of fact, Filipinos have been helping the koreans (during war times) and they tend to forget that. I mean who cares about history right?!

Plus South Korea population is declining fast its hard to keep up competing with these rising ASEAN countries. Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam simply has large young population right now they are expected to join the labor force by 2040s.

As I am a typical Korean.. Yeah totally agree with that. It’s like that for people who have never been abroad... just have only stayed in Korea. In other words, they haven’t been exposed to or educated about the wider world and different cultures. This lack of exposure can sometimes result in limited perspectives and understanding of global diversity.

I never heard more details about the case but apparently the Korean was set free and the parents didn't get any justice for their dead daughter.
Just a foreigner passed by. Personally I don't mind people who racist or judged others based on wealth, skin colors, nationality, etc. Not because I'm perfect but because it reflects who they are, not those whom they judged. It reflects how proper raised by their parents, how well they were educated (education does not means how high or good the education system. The ultimate goal of it is to teach you how to think which will develop your character), their society and environment, etc. There are things we cannot choose eg. complexion, places you born, etc., of which we don't have to take any responsibility. However what you do to others is something you can choose. That's the most important thing and your full responsibility. What I said is something -- from my experience -- many S. Korean could not understand I give up to explain anything to them. What make me laugh inside is that why somebody said they are racist they would not take it and argue to the death although tons of cases happened. Search for both cases and their comments and you'll see. Well, how could you change anything if you don't admit there are problems. You blind yourself.
I'm Malaysian 🇲🇾 . During the 60s, when the South Korea 🇰🇷 still a poor country, the Malaysian 🇲🇾 government at that time had sponsored a bridge construction at north of Seoul . The bridge was named, the "Malaysian 🇲🇾 Bridge" by the local & that bridge still in use until today 😎 .
they were so poor back then, the Philippines even sent out food racions to the koreans so they won't die of starvation the early part of the 20th century. Look how arrogant they are now.
@@GREGGFOWL whatever it is! You can’t hate that South Korea has done extremely well since the 1950’s. They deserve it! They worked hard to achieve it! What I don’t like is the arrogance of some. Not all! Because I can’t judge a whole entire nation of 50 million based on the arrogance of some. That type of thinking is tribal and toxic
It largely depends of Koreans who visited a nation or not. I met South Koreans who worked in South East Asia completely changed their attitude, they become more liberal, grow facial hair, more willing to shit talk their country, and transformed into a completely different South Korean, Korean woman who work in these country usually stayed and refused to return to their home country.
Have a Vietnamese friend who works for Samsung in Vietnam. He says a lot of the Korean men who come to Vietnam frequently for business have local Vietnamese mistresses even though they have wives and children back in Korea.
A Korean here, getting a kick out of all the horrified reactions trying to marry a South Asian man who is better than me in practically everything. We don’t need eye surgery, we need eye opening.
As Indonesian I Heard rumor about Korean look down on US Asean just because we have darker skin.. i guess the rumor Was true altho IM sure not all of them. Asean people are so polite. But once we got hurt you Will get the worst enemy. We watch you and expect you to behave as a friend or as enemy ITS your choice
It it because of the dark skin? Or is it because of the prevalence of deadbeat fathers, underage single mothers, and parents that prostitute their own childen?
IRONIC how ytube is promoting this video yet not one video promoting how much worse izreel behaves. Koreans are nothing compared to the izreelis yah’ll 🙄
Fair skin is considered more attractive throughout East Asia cause in the past it was a status symbol due to Asian skin tanning easily so being pale mean you get to stay inside all day and being dark mean you work outside all day. But we are born with fair skin, many SE Asian is naturally darker. But don't mind SK, they’re weird and doomed to fall under the North. Korea wasn't really ever at the center of the world stage anyway, it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon either. China makes Indonesia into superpower, some a-holes from southern Korea is too trivial to worry about.

It's your opinion. I visited Korea recently and didn't encounter any racism towards me and family instead I found the people to be polite and helpful. So please don't generalise. It's the same in any other country, there will always be a small group of racists but the majority of the people are not. And finally, the Korean men didn't force the Filipinos to have sex with them. The women willingly do that for money or other intentions. So stop talking nonsense.
As a Korean, I tell the truth to those who are making videos or spreading false information based solely on the impression received from brief visit to Korea. Because Korea is a racially homogeneous country, there is no tradition of racial discrimination. There cannot be the same standards of discrimination as in the United States or Europe because there are not many different races. However, since Korea is not a paradise, of course there is discrimination, and this discrimination is not based on race but based on appearance, education, wealth, occupation, and intelligence. And this discrimination applies to both Koreans and foreigners. No matter what dark skin color you have, whether you are black, Indian, or Southeast Asian, you will not be discriminated against if you are beautiful, rich, or smart. Rather, you will be respected. On the other hand, Western racism only discriminates based on race, regardless of other conditions. Let me be clear: Even if you are Korean or white, you will be discriminated against if you are ugly. If you felt discriminated against when you came to Korea, it was probably because you looked ugly or poor. So if you dress up nicely and wave the keys of your Lamborghini, we can be friendly right away. ;) This is why Koreans constantly take care of their appearance and are obsessed with money and academic background. Your inner self has nothing to do with it. Your material things define your social class, and that is your worth. This is the general thinking of Koreans. If someone feels that the other person is inferior to them, that person often immediately look down on them. Of course, on the other hand, he may be looked down upon too. And this is the part that makes Koreans the most angry, to the point of losing their senses - being looked down by others. Therefore, although Koreans can be said to be ultra materialistic, we cannot be said to be racist.
Korea is wellknown for the least racist country in Asia according to foreigners. I can tell this guy gets paid by the ''Japanese right wing'' to slander Koreans. Look it up his profile and all his video, nothing but hatred against Koreans with false allegations of racism. He intends to bring down Korean and accusing Korean with utterly false racism. Report this guy who slanders, generalizes, and spreads hatred against Koreans with unfounded allegations on RUclips.

Here's a story I will tell you. There were a group of Koreans in Vietnam at a restaurant. And guess what. There was a group of Aussies and white people at another table. The Vietnamese servers only serviced the white group first even though they came later. And they ignored the Koreans and the Koreans were angry and mad because they thought that they were somehow superior to the Vietnamese and southeast Asians. It was at that moment that they realized that the Vietnamese did not see any difference between Asians. And Koreans realized that they were still garba*e compared to white European people. This was perhaps one of the most hilarious moments I witnessed
I am laughing at you and your thinking level. So tell me. Did you think it was right thing to do to ignore the people who came earlier and served those white group even though they came later? What made you think those Korean people were upset because "they were somehow superior to the Vietnamese"? What's got to do with thinking superior to Vietnamese and asking for the right treatment? And did they say, they think of themselves as they are superior to Vietnamese? Isn't that natural to get upset when they were dismissed intentionally just because they are not 'white European', according to you? Is that how people think in Vietnam? So, you think white European people are better than Asian people so they deserve to be treated better and speedy in your mind? Is that why Vietnamese didn't fight when they were colonized by France? Where is your self esteem? Don't you feel you are the same as those white European people and you want to be treated as such from Korean? Would you be okay with Korean people serve you after the white European people in the restaurant, since you are less than white European people? Wow, is this cultural difference or your own self esteem issue? Have some pride in you, dear Vietnamese. you are a valuable person as much as any ethnic group. If you don't respect yourself, no one is going to respect you. What an odd imbalance in Asian people! Korean has too much high esteem and Vietnamese has too low self esteem. I pity your life. Love yourself, dear. you deserve as much as other people whether they are white or black or even if you are Vietnamese. As far as I am concerned, Vietnamese people I've met was very proud people. I thought they have very healthy regards about themselves. Did I misunderstand about Vietnamese? Don't go around embarrass your Vietnamese.
Actually, I have lived and worked in Vietnam, China and South Korea, so I can tell you that the Koreans do see themselves as superior to other Asians, except the Japanese. The Chinese think they are superior to all other Asians and the Vietnamese only think you’re superior to them if they can make money off you, regardless of your skin color or ethnicity
It was difficult to understand the comments. I didn't know that Southeast Asian people really hate Korea. Have you ever visited Korea? Have you ever really visited? No one will pay any attention to you, let alone discriminate against you. Most people know that this is just a novel based on jealousy. In the first place, it is interesting to compare Japan, which pays differential wages to foreign workers, and Korea, which pays the same wages to Koreans. Perhaps they are jealous because Korea has recently become a developed country.
Typical Korean. When they are accused, they do not admit it and make excuses that they are better than Japan. Even if they deny discrimination, there is a latent sense of discrimination in Korea.
Respect for speaking up about something that gets massively overlooked. This is true in other East Asian countries as well, where for example, people from historically richer regions of China would look down in bigotry against people from other places (Shanghai vs. the rest of China, Hong Kongers against Mainlanders, for example, are especially prevalent), and do I even have to mention Japan's entrenched xenophobia intertwined racism. Part of this stems from the extreme competition pressures East Asians grew up with, which instilled into our people that somehow one MUST be better in some shape for form than others. Their identity stems from being "better" than others, as that's what puts you on the top of society. It doesn't matter how good or talented you are, you must be BETTER and MORE talented than your peers. That is a zero sum game, a trap that all East Asian countries are deeply sunk in. East Asians even carry it over seas, as similar discrimination against often times our OWN PEOPLE are present overseas, albeit in different forms. This is extremely sad, and needs to be talked about more and faced. Props to you, ❤Keep it up brother!
Me as a Filipino and usually mistaken not a Filipino because I am tall and not morena. I look chinita mestiza. I have a pointed nose. I never had anything done to my body or face like plastic surgery. I just eat well, grace of genes and exercise. They would ask from where i am and when i say “Philippines” they get kinda shocked then would ask if im pure filipino. One korean older woman when she asked and i told her i am filipino she got shocked and said i am too pretty for a filipino. Wooooowww just wow the audacity of some koreans who look down on us SEAs. I have a few korean friends and they are kind. I am sure not everyone there is racist but generally they are i guess. Philippines is a diverse country consisting of 3 classes of beauty: morenas, chinitas and mestizas Edit: she meant it how she said it. This is not the first time i was asked from where i am and been told i don’t look like a filipino because they stereotype south east asians to all be brown skinned, short and have flat noses, uneducated, poor. That is how others see us without knowing that in every country there are different types of people
Haha. They just don't understand how heterogeneous South East Asians are cuz Koreans are probably the most homogeneous ethnic group. Like a Korean once asked me if I'm part Japanese cuz she insisted I look like one and I was like, not even a drop😅 I mean I don't even think my features are unusual for a South East Asian. Although I'm tall I feel that I'm objectively so average. I honestly sometimes think they expect South East Asians to be a swarm of people with the same nose, eyes, lips, cheekbones and jawline😭.
They forget that the Philippiens is a multi racial country ... Imagine if East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America were all one nation... Thats basically the people in the Philippines... And we seldome notice it ouraelves to be honest...
That's why when I had the same epiphany, I started to despise anything Korean like K-drama and K-Pop. I've decided that I've got nothing to do with them for good.
It's all garbage anyways lol They rely on America net for their stupid music and shows. If they keep their crap to themselves like other countries does, they wouldn't be as popular.

Not to mention the fact that the philippines is host to hundreds of thousands of koreans living here with their own schools and businesses and even their own town centers.

It's not without basis. South-East Asians had not even discovered metallurgy before European contact. Should've left it that way, honestly. Should've just been Europeans and East Asians in modernity. SOOO many current social issues would not even exist. Everyone would be better off.
That's true. I live here in South Korea, there's definitely a strong difference I can feel about the way South Koreans treat other Asians (Chinese, South Asians and South East Asians) in general. I am a mixed blood of Chinese, South East Asian and a bit European. Eventhough my skin is not dark, but I don't look Korean enough and they definitely look down upon me after knowing I came from SEA country. Arrogance and pride are the enemy of society. Money, power and greed are mostly the roots of all evil. Why are you acting so superior? Enough said.
South Korea is atleast arrognant and have pride atleast even in future if they get destroyed atleast it will not due fear and cowardice but with arrogance and pride.

Michael J.Seth argues in his book as follows: "China provided the model for literature, art, music, architecture, dress, and etiquette. From China Koreans imported most of their ideas about government and politics. They accepted the Chinese worldview in which China was the centre of the universe and home of all civilization, and its emperor the mediator between heaven and earth. Koreans took pride in the adherence to Chinese cultural norms... They accepted their country's role as a subordinate member of the international hierarchy in which China stood at the apex, loyal adherents of Chinese culture such as Korea ranked next, and the barbarians outside Chinese civilization stood at the bottom. Close adherence to civilized standards was a source of pride." ("A History of Korea," Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2010, p.4-5) In fact, most of the Koreans seem deeply affected by such a stale and wicked thought (rendered as "mini-sinocentrism") as this even now. Therefore, they tend to belittle other Asians including even the Japanese (and their former master, that is, the Chinese people recently). In sum, it can be said that the Koreans' racism, or xenophobia, is basically ascribed to the so-called "Sino-barbarian dichotomy."
@@speakupyt4900 Haha ... You Koreans will get mad whenever you are confronted with the facts that are inconvenient for the Koreans. In fact, the Koreans deeply admired China, and were always longing for being "Chinese-like" in every aspect. You Koreans always boast of "The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (조선왕조실록)" because it was registered in UNESCO's "Memory of the World Program" In 1997, right? Now, one of this Joseon kings annals,'Gojong, vol.36 (고종실록 고종 36권)', says as follows: "Our territories used to be the land of Han 漢 and Tang 唐 in ancient times. Both the official clothing code and cultural products conformed to the ones of Song 宋. The social systems along with our governance system are to be adopted to the ones of Ming 明. It is rightful and legal to inherit the true name of China and its culture" Also, "Taejo of Goryeo's Ten Rules" (高麗太祖 訓要十条; 왕이 훈요10조를 내리다) says, "We, the East, admire the customs of Tang Dynasty, and learn both its products of culture and music. We adopt its systems and styles." Understood？ This is the Korean !!
That's true! At one time in their history, at least in their dramas, they said they were better than the Japanese because they felt the Japanese copied their culture to a great degree.
@@sophmore90 The Japanese did copy Korean and Chinese culture to a high degree. They also raided the coasts of Korea and China as well, which added more to the animosity.
I live in Korea near a US military base, we have loads of Filipinos here too, and this video is so true. I see daily the disdain some Koreans have for Filipinos. It's disheartening, but as you state in the video, some time in the future the tides might change. Korea's dwindling population needs Filipinos, Vietnamese, Thai people to move here and help Korea secure its future. But, some Koreans are too stuck with their superiority complex to see it...

They can't look down on Chinese. Chinese are Cradle of people who Civilized koreans and made them human. Korea has been a vassal of China for thousand of years. Changing their master from China to United state doesn't change their Subordinate status. After China overtaking the US economy, they have to return to the Chinese vassalhood again just like their Korean ancestors were. 😂
you Chinese people look down on Indians when Indians clelarly influenced your achitecture like the Torii gates and Chinese pagodas and then Boddhidharma influencing Shaolin Kung fu whilst also giving the religion of Buddhism and you look down on us, so everyone is racist in the end.
The Chinese people are easily swayed by the Communist Party, and it’s unfortunate. Around 90% of counterfeit brands worldwide are produced in China, and there have been numerous instances where Chinese people have launched copied versions of Korean variety shows without purchasing the rights. They also make absurd claims that traditional Korean cultural elements like kimchi, taekwondo, and hanbok are theirs. Some even go as far as to say that Jesus and the pyramids originated in China. The people, manipulated in a country without freedom of the press, religion, human rights, or expression, are trapped in a cage.

Fun Fact: According to various sources, Korea has the longest history of slavery, with a continuous chain of slavery that lasted for over 1,400 years, from the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC-668 AD) to the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). This unbroken chain of slavery was maintained by the ruling class, with no significant disruptions or breaks throughout Korean history.
Modern Koreans still practicing their Slaver Mentality...
Koreans don't have that long history.
@LongLivetheCapitalist Perhaps it it's the longest recorded history. Then it could be true or not. India has had the cast system, which is a slave/segregation system, for a long time.
if you mean koreans were under the rule of ruling classes, that is probably true, as is true of many cultures that had ruling classes such as royalty, kings, queens and such. i would venture to guess that many were indentured servants. before the advent of enlightenment age many cultures had slavery. i would say that greek and roman cultures had length of slavery longer than 1400 years, much more. where did you get your source, i would be interested to know
@@gideonros2705 The caste system called the varna system, was initially 4000+ years old, but it was not demeaning or oppressive throughout that time. The worst of it, you know now, has taken form 300-400 years ago. Otherwise, it acted more as factionalism, with some having more privilege and others having fewer rights. So, it cannot be equated to slavery. Yes, it was one of the worst inventions of the human mind, but you have to understand that the system was far more complicated than that; if it was really as cruel as Western historians have generalised it to be, it could not have stood the tests of time, would have been overthrown with brute force of masses during its 4000+ period of existence.

Why did Kenya help korea? Because Kenya wanted to be accepted by Korea as equal?
@@kimsim6757 I don’t think (and hope) your message had the intention to sound condescending. As such, I must apologize for my mistake. But to answer your question, Kenya and SKorea officially began their diplomatic tie in February 1964 (Yeo Sung-Jun, 2024). The years 1963-1964 were also the start of Kenya’s independence from the British Empire, becoming the sovereign state that stands today (University of Central Arkansas, 2014). Thus, from a post-colonization and post-war context lived by both Kenya and South Korea, this relation might had emerged from a need for alliance between two emerging countries (in the context of the 1960s).
Economically, SKorea benefits as much from Kenya than Kenya does from SKorea. Kenya’s geography is rich in primary ressources. As technology progress, the demand and need for those ressources increase. South Korea might be more technologically advanced, but to create these technologies, it must all come from somewhere. Our demands for the semiconductor industry increase for our demands on specific ressources that African communities such as Kenya (in East Africa) or the Congo (in Central Africa) possess.
As for the recovery aid sent from Kenya to South Korea during postwar Korea, I could only find information on Wikipedia. More research on my part would thus be needed to fact check that claim, but I hope you’ve learned something on the importance of diplomatic ties with countries and communities within the African subcontinent.

Technological advancement doesn't necessarily mean mental advancement.
Like the Americans towards red indians, British towards indians and Europeans towards Africans , Koreans are gradually following their masters.
In Korea, the phrase "you look Southeast Asian" is used to belittle and mock one's appearance. Those who say "it's not racism, it's the fault of individual illegal immigrants" are liars. The reactions of Southeast Asians to Korean lookism and racism are also recognized in major Korean communities. I would like to point out here that most of the reactions there are along the lines of "inferiority complex of Southeast Asians," "jealousy towards Korean white skin," and "there's no need to pay attention to it."

Thank you for admitting this issue and spreading awareness
I'm Korean and I approve every single message in this video. South Korea is such an insensitive, conservative, and isolated society and every time I hear these kinds of things, it sickens me.
I do want to point out, though, that blaming everything on Korean culture and society for their prejudice against the Jurchens is somewhat misleading and lacks historical context. Korea had been a sinocentric society for centuries; those the Han Chinese considered barbarians were barbarians to the Koreans. The Chinese were just as cruel towards its northern neighbours if not more. Of course, this historical/cultural aspect may have a lot of impact on prejudice in Korean society regarding foreigners today, but I wouldn't fault the Joseon and old Korean societies just for having the sinocentric mindset; it was quite inevitable. To me, the claim this video makes feels somewhat equivalent to "the Romans viewed the Germanic people to be barbaric and persecuted them; they got karma when western rome eventually fell and the ostrogoths conquered Italy."

Japanese racism is polite. You wouldn't know what they're thinking since they have the grace to kept to themselves in the presence of someone they don't like (prohibiting foreigners from entering their store is the most extreme, but there's reason for that, and it's on the bad behavior of foreigners so can't complain about it). Maybe you will feel alienated, but it's better than hearing insult about you, your race and your country in front of your face. I haven't yet encountered blatant Chinese racism in the social medias, though (I should see more videos, I think). I mean, all the foreign people visiting there seem to be pleased enough. And this country have minorities with faces wildly different from the Han Chinese. So they probably more tolerant (especially if you can speak Mandarin). I might be wrong and maybe there are racism somewhere (billion of people without prejudice seems to be impossible).
Fun fact?: There had been found a forum built for Koreans who work in Indonesia to talk among each other, Then it was found out that it was used to talk bad and look down on the Indonesian people by some Koreans after someone in twitter posted a screenshot of the entire conversation.

As a Korean, I am so sorry for the people who felt discrimination by Koreans in any situations. People should not be discriminated and have the right to enjoy happiness and every foreigners can have the right not to be discriminated regardless of skin colours and their countries' economic situations.

@@dbvisbvi Pale skin is just prettier and makes you look more pure or innocent looking? I guess. That's why it's so coveted in Asian countries amongst the women.
It was a common theme in East Asian countries throughout the ages. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean all have beauty standards in paler skin tone. However I do not believe it was a racial thing, but more of a social status of the time. Upper society women doesn't have to work the field as the peasant class and naturally would have a paler skin tone as they spend less time under the sun, which also create a preference of paler skin tone being more desirable.
I am Thai living in Taiwan, and eight years ago, I met my friend's Korean boyfriend for the first time. Upon meeting me, he said, "Wow, you are so fat and ugly." I was a bit shocked and didn't know how to react. I wondered if this was a typical way of greeting in Korea. I laughed and replied, "Yes, I know."
Later, I learned that many Koreans really believe they are the most good-looking compared to other Asians. It made me think that he might have genuinely believed that Southeast Asians are ugly. This experience left a lasting impression on me.

Not only Koreans but also Chinese and for the most part the Japanese as well. I don't blame them for being arrogant considering they have risen from the ashes to get to where they are right now. They don't seem to think that discrimination is inherently a bad thing. I called out a Ytber named Hans why on this but he keeps deleting and reporting the comments that point out the problem. The Ytber’s channel is mostly focused on Asian-American empowerment, speaking out against Asian hate, and criticizing others for discrimination but he keeps denying the criticism thrown at Asians with the same logic the people he criticizes do. Not a bad guy but it feels as if these people have created an echo chamber that doesn't let them criticize their own.
As a Filipino who has relatives in South Korea, I'm gonna say that my uncle is not like this at all so let's not generalize koreans, but it's undeniable that this is the truth. I heard a story about this girl who was half korean half filipino who had a conversation with koreans about her ethnicity. The moment she mentioned that her mom was Filipino, her korean friends asked her "So where did your dad buy your mom?" which is absolutely appalling. And as a matter of fact, Filipinos have been helping the koreans (during war times) and they tend to forget that. I mean who cares about history right?!

However, at least now Philippines is in a resurgence again due to its young large population born in the 2000s they are finally old enough to work. Philippines and Vietnam in general are experiencing a labor boom that attract foreign investors. especially that China is running out of steam because of aging population and geopolitical conflict. the chance of Philippines and Vietnam surpassing South Korea's industrial capacity is very real in the future most economists predicted that it would happen due to FDI finally flowing into these countries due to US-China trade wars. Plus South Korea population is declining fast its hard to keep up competing with these rising ASEAN countries. Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam simply has large young population right now they are expected to join the labor force by 2040s. Plus labor is cheaper in these countries that would attract more investors in the future and they will surely simulate growth in the region.
As I am a typical Korean.. Yeah totally agree with that. It’s like that for people who have never been abroad... just have only stayed in Korea. In other words, they haven’t been exposed to or educated about the wider world and different cultures. This lack of exposure can sometimes result in limited perspectives and understanding of global diversity.
South Korea only became a developed country very recently. But they do not act that way. They judge other Koreans too.
also happened recently on Indonesia with the "Indosarang incident". there is a forum called indosarang where basically south korean expats who works in indonesia blurts their minds there. racism comments are rampant and went viral nationally.
South Koreans are considered NEW MONEY so it is a tiny bit expected that some of them will behave this way towards people in other countries, considered beneath South Korea's development.
Exactly. These people never had money or 'pop' culture before. Just like Germany after the fall of communism.
i kind of feel koreans are like the ugly nerdy kid in high school grew up and suddenly lost a little weight and got successful. then suddenly resented and condescended to everyone in their high school. i've seen it many times and this is that on a macro level.
The nouveau riche mentality among some individuals may have its roots in the quick progress that turned an impoverished nation into a wealthy one.

And it's not likely gonna last long. Apparently Korea's birthrate is plummeting fast, if not faster than Japan's and China's.
I just want to share this:
I live in the Philippines, and there was this neighbor of ours who died in a road accident and the culprit is a Korean businessman. When her parents confronted the Korean he went racist and drop 2 million pesos to settle the problem and to prevent the parents to not file a case against him. Implying that we Filipinos can easily be paid looking down at us. The parents of the girl didn't accept it but they're aware how influencial this Korean businessman is. I never heard more details about the case but apparently the Korean was set free and the parents didn't get any justice for their dead daughter.
pinoys would sell their daughters as mail order brides
Just a foreigner passed by. Personally I don't mind people who racist or judged others based on wealth, skin colors, nationality, etc. Not because I'm perfect but because it reflects who they are, not those whom they judged. It reflects how proper raised by their parents, how well they were educated (education does not means how high or good the education system. The ultimate goal of it is to teach you how to think which will develop your character), their society and environment, etc. There are things we cannot choose eg. complexion, places you born, etc., of which we don't have to take any responsibility. However what you do to others is something you can choose. That's the most important thing and your full responsibility. What I said is something -- from my experience -- many S. Korean could not understand I give up to explain anything to them. What make me laugh inside is that why somebody said they are racist they would not take it and argue to the death although tons of cases happened. Search for both cases and their comments and you'll see. Well, how could you change anything if you don't admit there are problems. You blind yourself.

Fair skin is considered more attractive throughout East Asia cause in the past it was a status symbol due to Asian skin tanning easily so being pale mean you get to stay inside all day and being dark mean you work outside all day. But we are born with fair skin, many SE Asian is naturally darker. But don't mind SK, they’re weird and doomed to fall under the North. Korea wasn't really ever at the center of the world stage anyway, it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon either.

It's your opinion. I visited Korea recently and didn't encounter any racism towards me and family instead I found the people to be polite and helpful. So please don't generalise. It's the same in any other country, there will always be a small group of racists but the majority of the people are not.
And finally, the Korean men didn't force the Filipinos to have sex with them. The women willingly do that for money or other intentions. So stop talking nonsense.
As a Korean, I tell the truth to those who are making videos or spreading false information based solely on the impression received from brief visit to Korea.
Because Korea is a racially homogeneous country, there is no tradition of racial discrimination. There cannot be the same standards of discrimination as in the United States or Europe because there are not many different races.
However, since Korea is not a paradise, of course there is discrimination, and this discrimination is not based on race but based on appearance, education, wealth, occupation, and intelligence. And this discrimination applies to both Koreans and foreigners.
No matter what dark skin color you have, whether you are black, Indian, or Southeast Asian, you will not be discriminated against if you are beautiful, rich, or smart. Rather, you will be respected. On the other hand, Western racism only discriminates based on race, regardless of other conditions.
Let me be clear: Even if you are Korean or white, you will be discriminated against if you are ugly.
If you felt discriminated against when you came to Korea, it was probably because you looked ugly or poor. So if you dress up nicely and wave the keys of your Lamborghini, we can be friendly right away. ;)
This is why Koreans constantly take care of their appearance and are obsessed with money and academic background. Your inner self has nothing to do with it. Your material things define your social class, and that is your worth. This is the general thinking of Koreans.
If someone feels that the other person is inferior to them, that person often immediately look down on them. Of course, on the other hand, he may be looked down upon too. And this is the part that makes Koreans the most angry, to the point of losing their senses - being looked down by others.
Therefore, although Koreans can be said to be ultra materialistic, we cannot be said to be racist.
Korea is wellknown for the least racist country in Asia according to foreigners.
I can tell this guy gets paid by the ''Japanese right wing'' to slander Koreans.

Here's a story I will tell you. There were a group of Koreans in Vietnam at a restaurant. And guess what. There was a group of Aussies and white people at another table. The Vietnamese servers only serviced the white group first even though they came later. And they ignored the Koreans and the Koreans were angry and mad because they thought that they were somehow superior to the Vietnamese and southeast Asians. It was at that moment that they realized that the Vietnamese did not see any difference between Asians. And Koreans realized that they were still garba*e compared to white European people. This was perhaps one of the most hilarious moments I witnessed
I am laughing at you and your thinking level. So tell me. Did you think it was right thing to do to ignore the people who came earlier and served those white group even though they came later? What made you think those Korean people were upset because "they were somehow superior to the Vietnamese"? What's got to do with thinking superior to Vietnamese and asking for the right treatment? And did they say, they think of themselves as they are superior to Vietnamese? Isn't that natural to get upset when they were dismissed intentionally just because they are not 'white European', according to you? Is that how people think in Vietnam? So, you think white European people are better than Asian people so they deserve to be treated better and speedy in your mind? Is that why Vietnamese didn't fight when they were colonized by France? Where is your self esteem? Don't you feel you are the same as those white European people and you want to be treated as such from Korean? Would you be okay with Korean people serve you after the white European people in the restaurant, since you are less than white European people? Wow, is this cultural difference or your own self esteem issue? Have some pride in you, dear Vietnamese. you are a valuable person as much as any ethnic group.
If you don't respect yourself, no one is going to respect you. What an odd imbalance in Asian people! Korean has too much high esteem and Vietnamese has too low self esteem. I pity your life. Love yourself, dear. you deserve as much as other people whether they are white or black or even if you are Vietnamese. As far as I am concerned, Vietnamese people I've met was very proud people. I thought they have very healthy regards about themselves. Did I misunderstand about Vietnamese? Don't go around embarrass your Vietnamese.
There is a common saying, "if you visit Vietnam, you will never be the same person again".
Actually, I have lived and worked in Vietnam, China and South Korea, so I can tell you that the Koreans do see themselves as superior to other Asians, except the Japanese. The Chinese think they are superior to all other Asians and the Vietnamese only think you’re superior to them if they can make money off you, regardless of your skin color or ethnicity
@@OGtruthserumwell american cant say orther way
Which is why Americans nuked Vietnam in the Vietnam war
It was difficult to understand the comments. I didn't know that Southeast Asian people really hate Korea. Have you ever visited Korea? Have you ever really visited? No one will pay any attention to you, let alone discriminate against you. Most people know that this is just a novel based on jealousy. In the first place, it is interesting to compare Japan, which pays differential wages to foreign workers, and Korea, which pays the same wages to Koreans. Perhaps they are jealous because Korea has recently become a developed country.
Typical Korean. When they are accused, they do not admit it and make excuses that they are better than Japan. Even if they deny discrimination, there is a latent sense of discrimination in Korea.
Korea officlally become a developed country in 2012.
Respect for speaking up about something that gets massively overlooked. This is true in other East Asian countries as well, where for example, people from historically richer regions of China would look down in bigotry against people from other places (Shanghai vs. the rest of China, Hong Kongers against Mainlanders, for example, are especially prevalent), and do I even have to mention Japan's entrenched xenophobia intertwined racism.
Part of this stems from the extreme competition pressures East Asians grew up with, which instilled into our people that somehow one MUST be better in some shape for form than others. Their identity stems from being "better" than others, as that's what puts you on the top of society. It doesn't matter how good or talented you are, you must be BETTER and MORE talented than your peers.
That is a zero sum game, a trap that all East Asian countries are deeply sunk in. East Asians even carry it over seas, as similar discrimination against often times our OWN PEOPLE are present overseas, albeit in different forms. This is extremely sad, and needs to be talked about more and faced. Props to you, ❤Keep it up brother!
Me as a Filipino and usually mistaken not a Filipino because I am tall and not morena. I look chinita mestiza. I have a pointed nose. I never had anything done to my body or face like plastic surgery. I just eat well, grace of genes and exercise. They would ask from where i am and when i say “Philippines” they get kinda shocked then would ask if im pure filipino. One korean older woman when she asked and i told her i am filipino she got shocked and said i am too pretty for a filipino. Wooooowww just wow the audacity of some koreans who look down on us SEAs. I have a few korean friends and they are kind. I am sure not everyone there is racist but generally they are i guess. Philippines is a diverse country consisting of 3 classes of beauty: morenas, chinitas and mestizas
Edit: she meant it how she said it. This is not the first time i was asked from where i am and been told i don’t look like a filipino because they stereotype south east asians to all be brown skinned, short and have flat noses, uneducated, poor. That is how others see us without knowing that in every country there are different types of people
tell them our 15 Big 4 beauty pageant titles says otherwise.
The "stereotypical opinion" is that Vietnam and Philippines have a higher frequency of more cute women.
Haha. They just don't understand how heterogeneous South East Asians are cuz Koreans are probably the most homogeneous ethnic group. Like a Korean once asked me if I'm part Japanese cuz she insisted I look like one and I was like, not even a drop😅 I mean I don't even think my features are unusual for a South East Asian. Although I'm tall I feel that I'm objectively so average.
I honestly sometimes think they expect South East Asians to be a swarm of people with the same nose, eyes, lips, cheekbones and jawline😭.
Do they not know we have been colonized by different powers for hundreds of years? Most of us aren't pure SEA-blooded, anymore
They forget that the Philippiens is a multi racial country ... Imagine if East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America were all one nation... Thats basically the people in the Philippines... And we seldome notice it ouraelves to be honest...

We speculate that this admixing trend initially occurred mostly outside the Korean peninsula followed by continuous spread and localization in Korea, corresponding to the general admixture trend of East Asia.

More asian history content please! Especially in the early modern era
Michael J.Seth argues in his book as follows:
"China provided the model for literature, art, music, architecture, dress, and etiquette.
From China Koreans imported most of their ideas about government and politics.
They accepted the Chinese worldview in which China was the centre of the universe
and home of all civilization, and its emperor the mediator between heaven and earth.
Koreans took pride in the adherence to Chinese cultural norms...
They accepted their country's role as a subordinate member of the international hierarchy
in which China stood at the apex, loyal adherents of Chinese culture such as Korea ranked
next, and the barbarians outside Chinese civilization stood at the bottom.
Close adherence to civilized standards was a source of pride."
("A History of Korea," Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2010, p.4-5)
In fact, most of the Koreans seem deeply affected by such a stale and wicked thought
(rendered as "mini-sinocentrism") as this even now.
Therefore, they tend to belittle other Asians including even the Japanese (and their
former master, that is, the Chinese people recently).
In sum, it can be said that the Koreans' racism, or xenophobia, is basically ascribed to
the so-called "Sino-barbarian dichotomy."
Yup. 😊

The social systems along with our governance system are to be adopted to

"We, the East, admire the customs of Tang Dynasty, and learn both its
products of culture and music. We adopt its systems and styles."
