Usual suspect f em
The racism against Indians have increased multi fold, Clubs opening display boards saying Indians not allowed.
I don't understand how being from Africa is something to laugh at?!
It's annoying that that is seen as a negative due to media, we need to show them the truth instead
@@Remember_the_Time The thing is you don't even know me, but of course I'm working on myself as everyone should, but I feel as if I am already representing my cou try and my continent well despite not currently living there, but I think the people they are interviewing and maybe even you could do with starting with the man in the mirror too and realising that there may be more to people than meets the eye (from stereotypes, the media etc) and just be more open minded and actually try to learn firsthand by expanding friendship groups across races, you'd be amazed
UNICEF or UN do advertisements for donate, while using negative images of Africa. Like poverty, unsanitary etc.
I'm actually 1000% proud of it🤗

Moral of the story there are racist people everywhere
Henry Hijazi yep
Henry Hijazi they're not racist, they're just judgemental. My mom's Korean, and she's judgmental about everyone.
this rings true all across asia, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, everywhere I have traveled I get the same treatment
Henry Hijazi not really..the western media does the propaganda.
Well its different in this case because they are conditioned to think a certain way. I do't particularly feel anyways towards them as I do white people in America and thats just my mindset. He who controls the media controls the mind).
I’m fully black and was born in Seoul, South Korea and left when I was 11 months old. My mom tells me stories of how kind and loving Korean people were towards us and my babysitters were in love with me. I’ve worked for two different Korean families in America. They all treated me kindly and like family, especially when they found out Korea is my birthplace. I couldn’t help but notice the wife of my boss oddly treated me like I was beneath her, to the point my boss had to check his own wife. He even made fun of her at one point and called her a robot. It was like he was trying to make up for how she treated me. The other family I worked for were such angels and I still love them til this day. I can see the old school vs. new school dynamic. Korea will always have a place in my heart because I know there are truly some kindhearted people there.
You didn't leave. You were toddled of your pram
@@Bootsystem66 you seem to have lost your ability to speak coherently. Try again
As a Black Woman I visited Seoul in 2019' before the pandemic broke out!! And I will say this I've never been treated more Better By Koreans then anything else!! I went over to celebrate my Birthday and I was treated like a Princess there!! Everyone I came in contact with was so kind to me that I never felt such Great Hospitality from any other Race!! Naturally I can't speak for everyone else but the Koreans I meet while I was there to this day we're still in contact with each other!! So I say that to say this I made so pretty cool friends over there!!Much Love Korea 🇰🇷❤🇺🇲❤

I'm glad that I subscribed to this channel. Just to hear people from another culture having a more honest conversation than I would hear if I was standing there or asking the questions gives a lot more insight for me. It just adds nuance.
A lot of clubs in Seoul straight up Africans or even dark skinned people from non-African countries. I even remember walking past this one bar that had a sign up that said "No Africans because ebola"...this was well after the whole ebola craze died down.
It's always goofy watching most Koreans celebrities, kpop singers and their fans dress and act black when this sort of racism fairly open in their culture.
To this day people do not get the fact that Africa is a continent

Same with Filipinos, some are racist against us even though we fought for their war.
Im ethopian and now that you brought this up its a real shame
I visited Seoul in the late 1980's with my college music department and had a positive experience. In fact, my tour guide couldn't speak English, and I couldn't speak Korean, but we had so much fun together. He presented me with flowers at the end of our concert. I was the only one who received flowers.
Congratulations!!! Very interesting video, specially because the opinions of different people
damn all i did was be black 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Do they know the coffee they drink almost everyday is from Africa
Lol they do know 😂
They don’t care about taking resources from hard working black people. Where on earth has black labor and resources and talent ever solved racism? We are for entertainment and resources, but not to be respected as regular humans.
@@LMBOatU You make it seem like they're stealing coffee from Black people. Their purchase of coffee is a mutual business exchange where both parties benefit.
Stop having such a victim mentality.
1 1 do I?
Richard Rao wow you know me so well! I’ve never met a stranger online who knew and understood me as well as you Richard based off a couple of my sentences. Amazing. I’m blown away! Richard you taught me that Richard thinks I think with a victim mentality because thats what he got out of my days old comment on TH-cam about how black work and resources are viewed globally. I must have never even understood myself and my own thoughts, and now I even get to understand Richard too. I now know what Richard does and does not like about black peoples thoughts. I’m sure that’ll be useful to me. The internet is so useful. wow! 😍
/s
Yes sarcasm. I’m sure you “truly hate” that from a black person too. Such strong wording “truly hate” is. The audacity to say that to someone who is speaking about a topic you have very little experience in, you only hear and read about.... The whole world owes you space for your opinion on TH-cam but it makes you itch to write a comeback when you come across a black person talk about our own personal human experiences anywhere public, like TH-cam, where others can see it. I guess we should hush up and keep it to ourselves to save your eyes from what we experience and know amongst ourselves. We wouldn’t want you to hear about it. Your poor ears and eyes.... mmk Richard. Thanks Richard. 👋
Nice one Asian boss I think you were a little better on this one keep it up with love from Africa.
I can remember when I was stationed in Korea many moons ago.I had photos of my soon to be wife,she was stateside.Anyway the Korean ladies admire how beautiful “sisters”are.I enjoyed my time in Korea, they would stare when I travelled thru-out Korea,most of them were helpful,and friendly
I am black. Never experience such racism before, but my heart bleeds for my black brother's and sister. The world hates us, but it don't matter because God loves us.
Very true the world hates black people
west max They hate any race.
Yep. Sad that this is how we’re looked upon by others
You know growing up i ask this question and no one could give me a reasonable answer. Then i found my answer in the bible. We are God's chosen people! So they can't help it...it's in there spirit!
@@cesar5478 very very very TRUE
koreans: i hate when people bow to me because they think im chinese
also koreans: i see no problem referring to people i see on the street as blackie
Chinese people stopped bowing since cultural revolution and only do so now to pay respect to the dead. So if you bow to Chinese, you are essentially saying they are dead, and being superstitious, would be offended. Koreans and Japanese still bow as sign of respect or when they apologise.
Paul C F Wu not true about the dead part
@@sashakarasawa5794 what about the dead is not true? Well tbh I'm not entirely sure what Chinese in Mainland do. But my family do the half bow if the decease is not family. All family members must kneel to knees and do the kowtow thing 3 times. Oh yes and at weddings too but that's it. Even at weddings now the foreign born ones are cutting out the bowing except to the parents as it takes too long.
It's almost as if Korea consists of many different individuals with different opinions and behaviour.
generalizing a group of people is also racism btw
Developed country doesn't means developed mindset...
Fr I be saying the same thing about America if anything y'all regressing
Thanks for the opportunity to hear the views and see the reactions if persons from Korea on this topic. Its in the human psyche to distrust and dislike on the outset what they cannot underdstand. We are differnt for a reason....just enjoy and experience those differences!!!
I’m asian and I’m not gonna lie growing up I had dark skin so I get called black and ugly from my own people because I’m a dark asian.
Jagajith Jayanandan bruh, ur racist tho. Not all white r racist and not all Asian r racist but there r blacks that r racist
Equal✨✨
傾妘蘇氏 so you’re saying only black people are racist? At this point stop talking lmao
funni• WHATS wrong with ur Brain, if u dun understand English, dun reply
funni• I just wanna point out that there r racist in every race. Same for the black who r being racist to Asians. All Asian, Black and white hv some sort of racism
傾妘蘇氏 but not all black people are racist to Asians. What you don’t get is that Asian or Korean people can be racist too though- look at 1:48 the girl claims black people are dangerous just cause of what we do in a movie. A movie is a movie.
Ask with a hidden camera you will hear the truth

It would be interesting to revisit this question/topic in 2022 as it has been 5+ years and a lot has transpired between Korea and the western world concerning black people. In 2018 I visited Korea for a month and was seeking an English teacher's position and was discriminated against due to my age, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn about the racial climate.
Although there is judgment passed around Korea, I feel like the individuals being interviewed had a broader view on matter to be able to break the questions down like that and answer truthfully. Props to them👏
The girl who said movies affect people's perspective was so right
@Chrissy Glenville Some people are stupid like that. But I guess it's the over portraying black people as gangster, poor and uneducated that pushes it to be a perception in real life, rather then it just being a movie
@A M not to me bro, memes, said otherwise. Im southeast asian btw.
@A M and u like to enslave other countries.

@@chandrakanthsangewar9341 like Elon Musk?
Asian people areSo lit! ❤️ A lot of the perceptions were more realistic and not as negative as I had thought initially.
I served a tour in Seoul first of all that was the best experience of my life so far, my fellow Korean soldiers or KATUSA's were vary polite and down to earth. The civilians were extremely respectful helpful and curtious. There was a default level of respect in that country that stretched from the very young to the very old. The people there approached me with curiosity at best and fetishistic at worst. I will say that as a whole they do buy into stereotypes from what they see on TV but I'm pretty sure everyone does on some level. The worse it got was my surrogate family basically thinking I would explode if the chicken I was eating wasn't fried lmao but other then that living in south Korea was the absolute best I've ever been treated in my life as a black man. Five stars would recommend. I may go back there to find a wife.👍🏿
Why is being black so frowned upon. People really need to grow up and learn our culture.
Jessica Jackson Honestly coming from a black person I don’t 100% trust this video especially considering asian boss tends to reword what they say to make it seem more toxic
I mean yeah the younger gen is playing into all types of stereotypes and they said the older gen is more racist. But to be fair is not all of them and even tho the younger gen is ignorant as hell as least they didnt seem to have any actual hate toward black people. Also dont think people are getting lynch or nothing out here which is more than you can say for the deep south of america
KD you have to play devils advocate huh...I never said other races don’t face racism. But we have been oppressed and killed just for being black for centuries. Please get off my post with that
@@Dropkickurteacher how are they rewording anything if its coming straight out of these people's mouths??

Jeongyeon stole Jimin’s jams Ella the explorer _BlackSwanlife_ _ Asianboss is once issued by editing interviews to make toxic reactions toward koreans. so don’t mind this video. i lived in Korea for 6 years and none of this video is truth.
나의라임오지는나무 let’s hope. But thanks for telling me
나의라임오지는나무 everyone has different experiences just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t make it false. These people have lived there their whole life don’t take is so lightly
Jeongyeon stole Jimin’s jams please don’t use Jesus name in vain :( Repent Jesus is coming soon
don't worry my dads side of the family is Korean I go every summer and on Christmas and the weirdest thing I got asked was ”do you like Korean men?” and they rarely ask for pictures...so it's all good but ig it also depends which part of Korea you go to
Very positive conversation
Theres one korean person I know and he is a mate back in high school. He was a cool person and we played dota 2 together. He was a cool mate and never treated me different cuz I was darker skin than them. I love Korean people too, dont know much about the language but the ones who moved from Korea to NZ are really nice people too.
It's always so interesting to hear stereotypes and perspectives from different countries. Thank you Asian Boss!
*Wow! It’s been 4 years since this comment but after posting this comment I lived in Korea for a bit and I can say I don’t agree with my word choices from 4 years ago and I definitely feel that how black people are treated in Korea is more horrific than “interesting”. In Korea, even though I’m not black or white, I felt judged and unaccepted. So I definitely think that racism against black people in Korea is deeply prevalent and worse than how I was treated.
alex bollinger yeah..but it's only nagitve at blacks/brown people...you never see a video where asians say anything bad about white people.
Jerome Love very true! That's why I said interesting, because I don't agree with their stereotypes but it's interesting to hear them so we can learn to be less judgmental
alex bollinger some of the people that's in this video are just ignorant and white wash.
Tell me about it, now i wanna here one about mexicans, bt i'm so happy blacks can go to Korea and have a sense of relief from americans
TURBO that'll make no sense
honestly I feel like racism is never gonna disappear or will take way too long still
Its a natural thing for humans to want to feel better or above something or someone else, and to feel uncomfortable with something different from you. Its not, however, okay to stay this way. As humans we have the capacity to overcome this normal reactions and check ourselves. But as I said, it will always be a thing in any society.
The solution seems pretty simple to me. At least part of the solution would be to stop portraying black people so negatively in the media and in movies and start making it mostly positive. It's hard because people in charge of making these movies and funding the news companies are mostly white. That's why movies like black panther are so important to us. It irks me to see white people say why do we need more black super heroes and role models. Well, this is why
It's natural to only trust and care about your own tribe and to be hostile towards everyone else. Thinking everyone is equal is insane.
U Sir are smart
@@ArcadeEraBeats That's barely true at all! White people are more likely to be portrayed more negatively in the media than they actually are, especially blond women and chubby white men. In my experiences you're actually portrayed better in the media than in real life.
Great video guys I loved Korea no problems at all that was in 1990 to 1993 ARMY 🇺🇸 people there wanted to learn about me and I wanted to learn about them much love to Korea

Why is this question even being asked??? This isn’t important to us. We don’t need or want anyone’s acceptance or approval. This is isn’t necessary. I don’t know anyone that sits around worrying about what others think of them. Maybe the question should be reversed since they imitate our culture, music, dress, slang, etc. & then call it “pop culture” in an attempt to separate whatever they like of it from the blackness that created it. K pop & the popularity of hip hop in Asia is a result of this. They copy us, we do not copy them.

I was more interested to read the comments than watching the video.
Me too
Same 😂😂😂
I agree. Reading the comments is always fun. :) It is a shame that people have to be so racist in 2017 (or any year for that matter, like 2019). Makes me not want to go to Korea in the future (I am brown, but still). I know most are accepting, but the population is like 97% Korean, and not used to seeing people of other races.
They were taught to call them people black .Theres no such thing as black people .They call them black because of their mental state .black means the absence of light . light symbolizes knowledge .So here in America they call my people black because they lack knowledge of who they are , so they are rejected and looked unpon as undesirables .Its a great Sin for people to be on this earth and not know who they are . So when they call us black the are saying we have no knowledge of ourselves . Slavery took away the knowledge of who they are .These people who call themselves black are Asiatic people .black describes a mental state not a skin complexion .These people have a Olive complexion .All people of hue has an Olive shade except pale skin people who you call white . Pale skin people are not white . The pale skin people have fooled the whole world . The have the people of India wanting to be white or light skin .We understand this because the British ( pale skin people ) used to rule India , so they taught the people of India to like light skin people .

My boyfriend is Korean. His mom, oh boy. Doesn't even want me in her house. Our first meeting I brought her flowers, we spoke about my family history, which includes having a Chinese grandmother who ran a women's college, everyone in my family went to university and had a good career in the fields of math and science. Good family background, educated, a good job. I make a point to get her gifts whenever I see something nice and I'm out with my boyfriend. And still she'll like call my boyfriend is she knows he's out with me and make up a crisis. Like she'll need him to drop her off at a sick friends house many a Friday night, or suddenly need to get something shew forgot to pickup from the grocery store at 10 pm. His dad now takes it to a new level, every time he goes to visit him at a restaurant, they always just happen to run into "a nice Korean girl" who just happens to be the daughter or niece of a very good friend of his.
Debra Coore lol
Prince Winthorp Regis Babatumbai chaboka the III No matter how ignorant she can be she's the mother of someone I love, she brought him into the world, raised him, and made him into the man he is today. I'll always respect her for being a good mother, even if she has hate in her heart. The gifts for her aren't for her so much as for myself, so I know I've taken the higher road and made a real go helping move along the family dynamics. Being from Jamaica I am a multi racial person. I loved my Chinese grandmother as much as I loved my Cuban grandmother and black grandfathers. I will not hold any part of my heritage in any less regard than another. I'm proud to be Jamaican. It's you I feel sorry for, love breeds love and hate breeds hate, you get to descide which one you contribute to.

wow, you are really tenacious... hang in there, sis!
Prince Winthorp Regis Babatumbai chaboka the III Your theory on my boyfriend is probably correct. He has some growing up to do. I'm not sure why you're do focused on the self hatred theory though. I love my skin colour, it's the same as my mother's and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Race is a concept that has gotten too out of hand, culture is more my interest. I mentioned it because this video is about one cultures perspective on another's, so I thought to share my own experiences. While I find my boyfriends family unsupportive, I certainly don't lose sleep over their opinions as I know they're misguided. I've had a chance to live the culture of my parents and grandfathers, but not my gandmothers, so yes there is a fascination there because I want to learn about the experiences they had as they didn't live long enough to tell me themselves. The amount of venom in your words suggests you're the one who needs help.

Sean Chinese looking down on Japanese?😂 Not true. it's the other way.
No. The Japanese killed over a million Chinese and defeated them fast. And the Japanese still think of them as "lower".While the Chinese want revenge.
Like it or not, we all discriminate against someone for no good reason. It doesn't have to be about race, it can be anything. Look at Northern Ireland. It is about Religion. Their Religions differ only on fine points, but that is enough to hate and kill each other over. Yes, I know there are many other factors but the divide is religion. We all feel superior to someone or some groups .

well damn u should u r going to love it there this video its ridiculous every other country has a little bit of racism and those ppl in the video they just want to look good than any other ppl its not the truth not all koreans are like that about 15 percent of korea is racist cuz of the elderly ppl whos old fashioned
Im korean guess what. No one cares about foreigners or black ppl bcz everyone is Busy and many are not racist anymore bcz south korea has so many foreigners that its Daily life
Sheeba true. I was in Korea for 2 years back in 03-05 and I experienced little to no racism. The US is far more racist. I’d say what I experienced was more curiosity and unfamiliarity as I traveled to many places not used to foreigners; ie the real Korea and no much Seoul which is foreigner heavy. I actually felt safer there than I do at home. I even drank soju with an on duty officer who had some soju and shot glasses in the trunk of his patrol car. You will have fun in Korea trust me.

I never watched this being African American. I can understand what they're talking about.But it didn't bother me. it just insightful 👌 for me .
Just imagine life is a game and if your black that's the hardest difficulty.
@The Space Cowboy TSC I should know cause I'm black and some pretty fecked up stuff happens in my life and just 14.
Yeah imagine, because it's not reality
@yuna thicc you sound so stupid. there are racist people from every race and yes that includes black people.
@yuna thicc dummkopf hahahah
I must add: Brown and Black have it hardest 😌
I wasn't going to watch this video because I'm moving to Korea in a few weeks to teach and didn't want to see anything negative, but this was a well done interview. I do wish you would've asked them more about getting their perceptions about a whole race of people from media (similar to your Korean drama vs real korea interview). I also don't understand the Big Black Bro/Sis thing. Would it be ok if I called them "my little yellow bro/sis" no matter their age and status? It seems like I would be calling them inferior to me/talking down to them...EDIT: what I'm trying to say is if flipping the language seems inappropriate, then it probably isn't the best language to use for everyone involved . Black people don't want to be put on pedestals or be given titles for no reason. We just want to be treated like individual human beings that have different experiences, that you would learn about if you talk to us. Again great job, and thanks for the interview.
i hope you will be able to have only good experience in korea as much as you can.
Good luck! Remember that these interviews only reflect a small part of what's going on in Korea. It doesn't mean you'll be treated poorly. I really hope you have a great experience.
sugarwaters Well the situation we use the term "Heuk Hyeong (Big(=older) black bro)" or "Heuk Nuna(big(=older) black sis)" is when we admire or envy black people's superiority especially on music and sports. As we use "Hyeong" for close older male friends and "Nuna" for close older female friends, "Heuk Hyeong(Big black bro)" and "Heuk Nuna(Big black sis)" are, in a way, the way of showing their familiarity and closeness towards black people. But I do understand those can be discriminatory, by categorizing certain groups of people with their skin color(because "Heuk" means black).
This insensibility on racial discrimination in Korea comes from ingnorance because Korea is extremely homogeneous society. BUT, believe me. As the interviewees in this video, Koreans are getting sensible on racial discrimination issue and willing to embrace foreigners to their society. Okyere Samuel, the guy who shared his discriminated experience at the beginning, was an international student from Ghana, and now he is one of the beloved celebrities in Korea.

When I lived in China (vastly different country, I know, but bear with me) people called each other "brother" or "sister" regardless of how related they were; especially in regards to children; I suspect that other asian countries may have a similar culture of familiarity in name-calling (if I'm wrong do tell me, I'm curious to know). But, based on what I know, calling someone a familial name is rather widely accepted; though shouting it at a random stranger would be considered odd if it were between two Chinese strangers. Again, not sure how that translates to Korean culture, but when I heard it in the interview, I was not surprised at all.
At 3:49 the woman being interviewed says something that sounds like "네" which means "yes" in Korean but the subtitles translate it as "no". I'm not a Korean speaker so I don't know if this sort of thing happens elsewhere in the video or if I'm misunderstanding but that seems a little strange to me. Does anyone know if she's using some kind of different pronunciation or something that alters the meaning of "네"?
Nice video. Opens up to a lot of questions. For example, 1. do you have African descent and Korean descent mixed kids in Korea and how are they viewed on? 2. Will Korean people prefer being treated by an African descent medical doctor resident in Korea or prefer a Korean descent MD.?
It's still crazy to me how Korea seems so heavily affected by media. Korea is obviously an advanced and capable country so I don't understand how so many of them really believe what they see on tv.
I mean isn't everyone affected by the media? A lot people who like kpop and kdramas think that's what Korea is all about when that is not the case. I think people are unaware how much the media affects people.
kaly What? I live in America with blacks. Its not media!!! Its true. They have stereotypes for a reason. Same as people think Asians are smart.
Is rioting made up by media? And for some reason they dont like asian men.
kaly just because you're a technologically advanced society, doesn't mean anything.. they grew up living in a society very much like Japan where everyone is of the same color and race, that's why they only have media to make observations with.. it's a totally different story if you were raised in places like America or the UK
kaly what does advance and belive the media has Anything to do with that koreans and other asians dont have critical thinking
kaly the same with literally every other country😂😂😂
In these days, Koreans think of black people as normal. And I'm South Korean.
I think do too😀
I am really sorry for the racist people in Korea.
I appreciate that but I feel racism is worse in America. We deal with racism on a daily basis. People say Blacks make the world a horrible place because we commit so many crimes. And to that what I have to say is not everyone that is Black commits crimes! That's a very ignorant statement but I hear it all the time.

Lool you're not even trying to hide that you have something against black people. Do you personally know ALL(100%) of black people in America and UK for saying something like that ? Are you really saying that all black people sell drug or shooting people? with what You said in previous comment I'm sure you didnt even travel to Africa yet, you categorize a whole race for the behaviour of few.
"Why do you call them big black bro/sis?"
"Well first, they are black...."
I was crying with laughter.

The sad part is the fact they said most of their negative stereotypes came from America media
The fact that people can hate each other just bcoz of the amount of melanin in their skin really confuses me.
yes like can they plspslpslspsl just expand their small mind? it's like saying " HAHA YOU BREATHE OXYGEN? I HATE YOU"
It’s not cause of that it’s cause of the historical significance of the black man
I see a lot of white people get a lot of hate just for being white.
It’s all because of white washing and the media
This logic is so dumb. Good intentions but dumb logic
This made me really sad... i am currently learning Korean to show my appreciation and respect for the culture and would like to go to korean one day but uh... I don’t think I’d be very welcomed and that saddens me
At least you know now. I would rather you be sad after seeing the video verses being there and experiencing it face to face. Sadly, the people in the video know they are being prejudice but do not care. To them they rather be followers of evil than treat people with respect.
True I’ve been studying the language, culture you know to not disrespect their believes and stuff because I think it’s a beautiful place
To be hit by reality 😀
I’ll show myself the door 🚪🚶♀️
It’s worse in Japan... I would rather be in Korea than japan!!$
Amber Carroll Have you been to japan? I’m black haven’t been but I do have some friends (who are black as well) who have been and said they were treated like with great respect by not only the women but the men too
Bryttany Stewart Ugh! I relate to this so hard! I’m currently learning korean and this makes me so sad honestly like close to tears sad, i dont want to be afraid to go to korea 😔
Thanks a lot , I spent 6 in Korea. 3 at the Embassy and 3 in the military. I find that there is not that much difference between older Black people and older Koreans. Same Same, God Bless you all, I can never repay your kindness
As a black man I am happy that people can admire us also. I am more humbled by the honesty in the interview. I spent months in China, I know its not Korea but I felt home and I have developed a great sense of admiration for Asians.
I'm black
wtf
lobsterbale you know a racist white came up with that definition right..
derik alan I'm proud to be black. I love my curly thick hair my curves and my big lips my hazel eyes . Especially my chocolate-Carmel skin.
derik alan but who said I had a round head? There you go with the assumptions. And you wouldn't want to kiss somebody with no lips would you? I mean everyone get lip injections and lip plumpers. And how does your skeleton system has something to do with your race? And again how did you assume that I have a flat nose? The fact that you are trying so hard to bring me down is so entertaining. Have a good one.

Koreans are smart to keep their country pure
Which also excludes white people as well

@@markzekerheid7244 thank allah for that
Korean also don't have a colonial history, and their language is unique to their country. It's not widespread and it's difficult to learn. It makes assimilating to them very difficult by nature, hence why people don't go living there in the first place.
The japanese have a colonial history, but it was wildly unsuccessful and many countries in Asia despise them. So the ancient colonies feel avenged in a sense. It's not like Britain who has been hated and infiltrated by many nations as a revenge for their horrific treatment in the past, and also the most popular language in the world which is relatively easy and that many people can learn. Not to mention their open mentality.
This explains the difference between immigration to the West or the East.
Koreans are a mix of Manchurians, Japanese, Mongolians and northern Han Chinese .
I think a lot of people are misinterpreting this video. They were asked to list stereotypes, so they stated what the stereotypes were. They didn't say they believed those stereotypes. It seems like quite a few of them acknowledge the discrimination black people face within their own country. They never said that they believed that the discrimination was justified. It's kind of weird how many people misunderstood the video.
yeah they seem rather unapproving of the stereotypes
Ikr so many people misunderstood the video bruh.
Facts.. Comprehension level on 0
Yeahhh it's probably because the subtitles didn't get the subtext through too well
@@aaliyahwoolyhair4808 literally
im sick of hearing "the media this", "the media that ". that was acceptable 10/15 years ago but it's 2017 there are so many other mediums other than traditional media now. also the fact that they know that its the media portraying black people negatively yet still hold those stereotypes, annoys me.
EDIT: This in regards to millenial koreans. i can defo understand why elder koreans would have that mentality
I do understand your point, but one of the key characteristics of new media is "active recievers". To get the information on specific area from new media, one should actively search the topic first. As long as the receiver is indifferent of that certain topic, main source of information is still traditional media.
In that sense, traditional media still has its influence and can create stereotypes.
its funny because every image they obtain from the media is positive about black people maybe 1 or 2 examples might be different but korea has stolen so much from black culture the reason why people still hold these prejudices its honestly all white peoples fault....
i understand that its an homogenous society but holding the stereotype even while knowing it's untrue is confusing. like if you know its not true, why continue believing it?
As i've said, unless having a chance to aware certain idea of someone is stereotype and wrong, they really don't care or almost impossible to realize that they have certain notion on something especially when the issue is very unfamiliar with. In that sense, this video clip can be a beginning of considering discrimination issue seriously. Don't be too harsh on them.
hyunah yoon im not being harsh, im being realistic. are you korean?
the top comment talked about how "people say America is racist, that's literally everywhere" of course different, Indeed it's true even though they only mock each other in harmless ways but it's different. In America, it's way too extreme. People can easily call the cops because of their race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Tbh when people judge a certain person, it's already racist, right? because of different cultures/perspectives, other people can view that as harmful or mean or so racist
I subscribed the moment the topic got changed so it wasn't only on one race....
They must have never seen Rush Hour
True
Brifrizzle 223 they should!!
Pffff, if there is one film that helps neither against black or Asian stereotypes, it is that one.
The gag is... all the Asians were black before being colonized by Europeans 😂
Brifrizzle 223 OMG THE BEST MOVIE
I wish people would realize that being black isn't always about athletics. Not all of us can run fast, play basketball or football. Some if us have other individual skills and hobbies, just like any other person on this planet.
Additionally, there's nothing wrong in coming from Africa, and it's nothing humiliating about it. Some of us come from North America, and even different parts of Europe, just as everyone else comes from different parts of the world too.
"Big Black Bro/Sis" can be seen as racist because acknowledging that the person is black is heavily unnecessary. It would be the same as "Big Asian Bro" or "Big Hispanic Sis": uncalled for. But "big bro/sis" is understandable, because it shows endearment.
The fact that black people are still not seen as equals to everyone else in this world irks me. Hopefully everyone comes to understand that our struggles should too, be acknowledged, and that we deserve the same treatment as everyone else. Please do not allows forms of entertainment media (movies, cartoons, TV, and advertisement) to shape the way you think. Always aim to widen your horizons and gain a deeper understanding of everything. Plus, check ya facts.
You said it perfectly
BLACK PEOPLE LIKE KFC
Ikr
Rcae I’m not tryna be racist 😂
@Sugar Jones Dude Americans (white/black) treat South Asian (Indian, Pakistani,Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi) people terribly!!
Make judgements based on the individual, not the group as a whole. This is what I try to do when encountering all people from any ethnic group. I allow the individual to show me who they are. I understand completely that TV and media are intentional about creating a system of thought. I could say that it is through Korean movies and Kdramas that a stereotype would be that all Koreans are hot-headed, judgmental, shallow(in terms of how much class system affects their thinking and everyday lives) and extreme with bullying. What I'm trying to say is, there is some truths to stereotypes. It's just that they don't always apply to every individual of a particular people group. There's good and bad in the human race period....doesn't matter the ethnicity. I appreciated their honesty.
Treat others the same way you would want to be treated
I am BLACK without apology
Ok nobody asked you to apologize
kim garyung You’d be surprised honestly
@@Tantella1 im really sorry if i dont know much about the topic..
kim garyung It’s no so much about being asked to apologize... but being black has been treated as a negative thing and many were forced to change themselves and downplay their blackness in order to be accepted and taken seriously. So the term being “ unapologetically black” comes from a movement where black ppl started to refuse assimilation and racial shaming.

Most people won't get direct racism in a foreign country that isn't diverse but you will still get looks from them either in a curious or hateful way. Very unlikely that someone will go up to you and be racist. They will show fake respect but mask their true feelings, especially in countries like Korea where the culture is to be polite and respectful even if it's not sincere. Not all people but a lot of them
@@j86485 Well, i have seen direct racism in Korea several times and indirect all the time. What surprised me the most is the direct racism was mostly from younger people (both men and women). Older people are more subtle but in many cases were more welcoming.
Why is it the more melanin in your skin, the more people dislike you? Understand we are people, that have feelings to 🙁!
They forgot the most important part. We top the charts when it comes to violent crimes and we are the most racist towards others. But we are professionals at playing the victim and placing blame on others because we can't take responsibility for our actions.

What difference does it make black or white ? We are all human and no one is above anyone else. I hate racism. We come into this world only once, and in the end, we are go to the same place. The worldly property remains in the world. Arrogance, grudge and hatred will not do anyone any good. It is unfortunate that racism still exists today.
