Hmm doesn't sound at all like my Ethiopian-Eritrean family. Almost as if an mass-invasion happened and "Africa" is code for Bantu. This is precisely why we need a Horn Union asap.
I'm a Korean American married to an Ethiopian. We build a family home in Ethiopia and visit for vacation. African people are so generous, kind, smart and family loving and welcoming. African immigrants are like Korean immigrants. They work hard, many are successful in the U.S., or work hard to help their kids become educated. In fact, children of African immigrants make up a large percentage of black students at top elite schools in the U,S, Their parents push education like Korean parents. I have lots of respect for Africans. Sick of my people looking down on other cultures and races, like how people did that to them in the past.
Ethiopians are a Cushitic nation, our forefathers were not common Africans. I do not care if that offends anyone, it is true. And if you think that only Koreans look down on other groups, well I have news for you lol.
@@mmgxoethios are not Cushitic 😂 Somalis and afar people are! Unless you talking about oromo people. Cushitic people also come from nubia and have long history with Africa. Not sure where you got your education from!
Norwegian Kenyan. Africans are some of the most accomodating people but always seem to be hated by everyone else for no apparent reason. With internet, they waking up.
"The new reality in west is: rapes, missing persons, stabbings, killings, murders, shootings and even beheadings are happening all the time. There is a link between these crimes and mass migration. . .
"You dont need to be the best, you just need to be good at what you do and keep doing what you like successfully" Wow, that hit, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that right now so thank you
Watching from TOGO. Most of Koreans are not interested in others cultures. Africans are open and accommodating, we embrace diversity but the wolrd used to look down on us. PS. For those who don't know yet, there is not country in Africa called wakanda🙏
Majority of cultures around the world are happy to be themselves. Why is it that always developed economies have to embrace diversity and multicultural mass immigration? Countriese just want to be left alone and be who they are. They don't need to be changed for anyone.

As a Korean I love Africans , they are complete opposite of the extremely stoic folks of Korea/Japan .... The joy and utmost big heart they possess is just a breathe of fresh air for me vs when Im around with my family , relatives , and some of my own Korean friends
Super different than what I see displayed from American males on podcasts. I was actually impressed with how calm and respectful these men were communicating among one another.
He's telling the truth Africans we will never say I want to work for iPhone We want to be Drs Advocates entrepreneurs I want to build a company bigger than Samsung and Apple That's is us ❤❤❤
If that is the case, then were is it, I have lived in Africa for 25 years, you have all sorts of people, great, lazy, worthless and amazing.. the same people everywhere.
My Korean coworker told me the exact same thing. Said everyone’s aspirations was to work for Samsung. If you had different goals, you’re treated as an outcast.
I fall in love with people who have real respect for others for what they are and accept them as their equal. Bc we are only human and some people need to remember that. Much love from Turkey btw❤️🇹🇷
Watching this Korean-African brother on this podcast melts my heart! Thank you for reeducating the masses about Africa! Black people have no resentment towards white or even Asians….just keep spreading this love brother 😊

Look, I ran into a few Korean Africans when I was living in Seoul. They were some of the most fascinating people I've ever met. Second most swag was the South American Koreans! 😄
I am British-American with Jamaican heritage. I taught 2 years in China, because of monoculture, parents and government pushing the limitations, you find that kids don't get asked to dream, as society hasn't evolved to free thoughts. Most of my students wouldn't tell me ,in class, what they wanted from their degrees. However, my email was flooded with responses and explanations that they have never had their parents or teachers ever ask. But I think many are choosing happiness, on their terms, more and more. It's the same in the USA, some live where opportunities have been limited. It must stop. Every child should dream and have an adult who will listen to and support those dreams. Poor in wealth doesn't equal unhappiness. Simple lives and opportunities will make for a better life. I subscribed, this was fantastic conversation.
To be fair, China is not Korea. They are similar but they are also very different. Also China isn't a monoculture and actually comprises of many different ethnicities and cultures. Even the Han ethnicity is subdivided into many different groups and there are over 200 topolects just within the Chinese language family alone. With that said, you are right that there is a lot of pressure in China especially in education. But you have to keep in mind that there are 1.4 billion people in China and there are a finite number of jobs and resources out there. So it is a really competitive society. You are right, there is a trend where people are less interested in work work work and want to pursue their dreams. But that is because more Chinese are entering the middle class. Pursuing one's dreams is a privileged position. From the perspective of Chinese parents, they grew up in poverty so their dreams was to survive and not have their kids die. Their kids on the other hand, are well off and can now dream but they still have to deal parents who had to work their butts off and had to do the hard work of lifting themselves out of poverty. Also, most people don't understand that after the West and Japan destroyed China in the 1900s, China was one of the poorest nations on earth. Even in 2007, a tier one city like Guangzhou was very poor. It wasn't until 10 years that China really modernized. Anyways, I agree with what you said, but wanted to provide some additional context.
@@MrMrbokchoi just to add Japan, China, US, and soviet also destroyed korea. It got split into 2. In terms of living condition, SK evolved better than NK. And now Sk as a whole changed a lot because they are now starting to talk about their problems openly. Due to the firewall, China is very close off to us. We don’t know what kind of problems they have. But I know that gov like to censor a lot of things, which kept people ignorant, isolated, and close off too.
@@andromedamessier3176dunno i find chinese netizens very outspoken tho. you could say the same with japanese and skoreans, they have a separate, very strong webculture and won't go around western websites divulging their problems.
I’m Togolese-Ghanaian born and raised in Togo and very interested in the Korean culture and everything they said resonated with me a lot.I love Korean culture but most of the people are so engrossed in stereotyping that they don’t even realize it’s wrong. It’s become a very normal part of their culture
Essa coisa de se dividir em partes é muito sureal no ser humano. Se nasceu no Togo és togalesa e ponto. Se tens parentes em outras partes do mundo, isso é outra coisa.
Aren't some Africans or Europeans or Americans also stereotyping Asians as the normal part of there culture? Every cultures has its own stereotypes on others.
@@beingbeingbeing2978not as much as Koreans do. They copy culture but don’t try to learn about the people behind it. And that’s not everyone, but a lot of people here!
@@2020Token Oh, please.. there are plenty of Europeans and Americans who stereotype Asians, especially Korea as poor war torn country. Also ask Chinese or Japanese , they have plenty more sterotyping going on with Koreans and other countries. They are just not spot lighted like Korea is these days. Aren't each cultures copy one another already? The entire world history has been all about borrowing from each other. Who's complaining? lol..
I don’t thinks so he is being very close minded and only see the world from his perspective and people that doesn’t thinks like him Are the bad one when you are open minded your respect and acknowledge cultural differences and you try to put yourself in people shoes before to judge
Bro, it's just an accent😂 the same way you get black Sudanese kids born and bred in Australia, who sound "white" until you see them. Good for him that he embraced where he was living and immersed himself in that environment.
@@Kamille-lb7jo no sound like white Australian, of course accents don't have a race, but are linked to ethnicities. A Congolese accent sounds different from a Nigerian accent. A white Australian accent sounds different from a white British accent. Get it now?
He’s so right. Korea has been (and largely still is) a homogeneous society for so long that they’ve only ever had to interact with Koreans and other East Asians (China, Japan) for most of their history. Their understanding of other people and cultures are extremely biased and stereotyped if only bc they’ve rarely interacted with these people/other races themselves. When the only way you learn or access other cultures is through TV, movies, and other media you’re only getting a stereotyped and biased view of them. The only way for them to unlearn all that is to have interaction with other cultures.
@@minebabbleWell, think about children. They don’t enter this world with that mindset. I try to stick as close to my youth mindset as possible. It’s healthier and I wish more people did that.
I don't know if we'll get there!! But Change Has To Come and those of us that change with the times Survive!! I'm a American Black 🖤 Woman who went to Korea in 2019' right before the Pandemic Hit!! I was a little skeptical about going mainly because I didn't speak any Korean and I didn't know anyone personally!! But once I got there I made some Amazing friends that were Korean but spoke English so it work out very well for me!! Glad I went there to witness it for myself and now I call Korea my Home Away From Home 🏠!! Phenomenal 🔥 Video and Thanks for Sharing🧡🤍🎇🤍🧡
Expose a child to limitless possibilities and let them know that they can do it .One of the most important things along the way is stick with the right people.And the young who said when he came back to Korea he was dark that is because he has melanin sleeping in his body and the sun wakes it up.😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have observed this with Korean culture regarding dreams in life. I worked decades with Korean international students and travelled to Korea more than 23 times. I remember saying and thinking that the goal of young people in Korea seems to be like everyone else rather than to be your own person or dream big/outside the box. Even Korean students who studied English and business in Canada, the goal was to return to Korea and work for a big name company. My wish for them is that studying abroad gave them bigger ideas and dreams. I love Korea and so grateful for all the time I spent getting to know and understand the people and the culture.
I’m not one of your students of course, but reading “My wish for them is that studying abroad gave them bigger ideas and dreams” was pretty insightful to hear as a Korean my self.
Very interesting conversation. I’m a Black Canadian that lived in Korea for 2 1/2 years and dated a Nigerian while there so mixed with the African community for a while. This conversation hits so many levels. Loved it.
Love listening to you guys I’m from West Africa(Liberia) I live in America and I am so proud to be an African. My mom is from Guinea and she speaks French.
You know the Americans established libera for the ex slaves. So, I'm not sure how many indigenous African were there already. Your mom speaking French doesn't mean she's French. She's still african.
@@sky-pv7ff my mother entire family is from Guinea and they all speaks French. She and her family migrated to Liberia in the 70’s She’s African and proud to be an African 🥰🥰 I love being a African woman🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
When I first got to Korea, I was shocked that so many people were pale-like at the airport. I don’t think we see many Koreans like that in America. I quickly learned that light was preferred and pushed from entertainment. People with money were lighter as well. There were darker Koreans but that was neat the coast. Also, I could see how some Koreans wore light makeup to appear light. That was weird to me.
@@mdilham5237 race is a social construct. I think in many ways, people want to be what we think is “better”’or have more value. So whatever society says is best is what people want. I hope that makes sense.
I live and work in Japan and it is similar. I work in schools and I always make sure to tell the kids that they can do whatever they want to do. I have seen some go off to do amazing things like play soccer profesionally, etc. Kids are the future and with the internet they can literally shape their own destiny and change things for the betterment of the generation that comes after. Plus I just want them to be happy cause most adults I talk to say they hate their life/job and if they could they would quit, but as you know societal pressures runs deep.
This video enlightened me so much because I feel the same way after visiting several African countries and then I realized that I was living in a huge box.
Watching this video made me realise how much of an influence Africa has on the world. That being said. Every nation in the world has their own impact on the world
Woaaaah! Just 2 mins in and I love this guy! He is amazing! I wish I had him as a friend, very cool, humble and smart. I'm Haitian, watching from Canada. :). Wow he is awesome! When he speaks French he has that African accent. I am Haitian and I speak French, English, Creole and currently learning Mandarin.
Watching from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I love what you all said ,others expectations (parents, friends, people around us ) on what we should be, on what we should dream it stays theirs cause it's their opinion we should expect from ourselves and to ourselves like y'all said we dream for us and we wanna achieve those things because we want to cause it's us who lives our lives and not other people you know And about the racism it's everywhere people have these stereotypes but we Africans are proud of who we are cause we know our history, our culture and embrace our diversity. their view of us won't define us cause they don't know what we know, they haven't seen or experienced life as an African 😊
No place called wakanda here in Africa... We have Botswana, Tanzania, Egypt, Ghana, Malawi and many more... Mo wakanda. One love please. Thank you guys for this... So heartwarming... Your love for mankind is almost palpable. Keep on keeping on❤
He's right we African's dream bigger. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ First time hearing this from a Korean. Much love brother, you are always welcome to Africa, God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏
New interview with an African Muslim living in Japan: th-cam.com/video/uXgJZdYLPUQ/w-d-xo.html Please let us know where you are viewing from! Thanks for all the support 🙏
Thank you for being open minded and see the bigger picture outside your comfort zone. Life is not measure by what other think, it's about you and how far you want to take it. Dream big and have some faith in yourself. Don't try to please others, you only need to please yourself. You don't need other validation to know your worth.
Such a good podcast! As a Korean American I can relate to so many of the pressures Koreans face, but not to the extremity as mentioned in the podcast. Good luck to everyone ❤
Vato is my guy - love your life philosophy, humanity and vibe. You navigated family and culture well, working out quick that health and life is paramount.
I think that is a product of their former oppression and eventual rising out of that. Much like a lot of African-Americans, who have felt the pains of poverty many of those in my culture tend to gravitate towards the outward and the flashy. Many of us are changing, however. But it is in essence a trauma response.
I'm African (Tanzanian), and I'm now visiting Chinese cities, such as Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yantai, etc. Man, if you've never been stigmatized, you can't understand this. These people, it's like they don't know if there are people of other races besides them who are existing on this planet. It's like they are sending a message to God like "Hey Sir, you made a mistake of creating people of a different sample than us". People still need education about creation bro! We are all one human bro
As a South Korean, totally agree on prejudices and stereotypes we have. We developed so much fast that ppl cant follow in cultures. But for musilm is different. First big impact of Musilm for Korean public was Kim-sun-il Kidnapped in 2004. Islamic fundamentalism group kidnapped, executed and uploaded video of whole execution process on online. Most of people never heard of what muslim and Islam religion before this accident. After this accident and since today, Islam never be preferred religion in my country. From this context, i understand why some people scared or not preferred Muslim in their boundaries. Coursely, i want my country people have no prejudice and see people as just what they are but no one is perfect and people think based on their experience even me also. Is this prejudice also?
So good to watch. If you know God , you will never have any form of prejudice in you because we are all God's children, and HE is a God who never makes mistakes . He made all of us in our own unique and beautifully. Let love lead people ❤
Wow!!! What an interesting conversation. I lived in Korea for 3 years as Black African and my experience is different. I lived an opened minded life when I was there. And come to conclusion that Koreans don’t know much or have interactions with Africans or blacks until recently and that makes them so clueless about there approaches with Africans or people from other countries. I embraced there unknowingly to be less sensitive to what they say or ask about Africans or being black. I had fun, laughter and good memories about Korea. Overtime I am sure they will change and embrace others openly without prejudice. Hello to people of Daegu and Gwangju
This is a fantastic conversation that I really enjoyed. It was extremely insightful, and seeing how your guys' multicultural upbringings and how both looking or feeling like a minority shaped your perspectives made for a great talk. I'd only come across your channel today, but I will be sticking around!
I’m American 🇺🇸 and I have some Korean American friends, they are some of the nicest people I’ve met. It doesn’t matter where you go there’s ignorance everywhere tbh.

😂😂

@@MTH-cam1 woooo I hope it goes well for you with the language barriers
I’m Kenyan living in Thailand. Subscribed. Heavily intelligent conversation.
Thanks so much, we are in Thailand at the moment, feel free to get in touch on our IG or LinkedIn (links in description)!
These are kind of conversations I enjoy watching! I'm so drawn to this. It's really really nice.
It’s cool to see an Asian African brother talk about the African experience
He is Asian not african. Ah!
@@africaine4889 he is an Asian that grew up in africa, asian by phenotype, african culturally
@@africaine4889 he from Africa ain’t he? So he African and with Asian blood
@@Abner-gu3ve he is Korean. Me living in Korean doesn't make me Asian. I could be Korean but never ever could I be asian
@@Abner-gu3ve he is a Korean who lived in Togo. That's it. He doesn't even have toggles nationality. He is 100% Korean and Asian
*"Why dont you go and be his mother"* 🔥
Very rude of him talking to his mother like that, if he said that to a Nigerian mother, his ears will ring for days 😊
@@mercyanuta8887why is it fair for the mother to disrespect him?
It’s just soo amazing that this man who is clearly of Asian descent has such an strong African accent.
Bro, it's just an accent😂 the same way you get black Sudanese kids born and bred in Australia, who sound "white" until you see them. Good for him that he embraced where he was living and immersed himself in that environment.
He doesn’t have a strong African accent at all, have you ever heard a Korean speak English? To me his accent is mixed.
@@wakandavibranium5053you mean sound Australian...not sound white*
Accents don't have a race but vocal cords do
@@Kamille-lb7jo no sound like white Australian, of course accents don't have a race, but are linked to ethnicities. A Congolese accent sounds different from a Nigerian accent. A white Australian accent sounds different from a white British accent. Get it now?
He’s so right. Korea has been (and largely still is) a homogeneous society for so long that they’ve only ever had to interact with Koreans and other East Asians (China, Japan) for most of their history. Their understanding of other people and cultures are extremely biased and stereotyped if only bc they’ve rarely interacted with these people/other races themselves. When the only way you learn or access other cultures is through TV, movies, and other media you’re only getting a stereotyped and biased view of them. The only way for them to unlearn all that is to have interaction with other cultures.
@@minebabbleWell, think about children. They don’t enter this world with that mindset. I try to stick as close to my youth mindset as possible. It’s healthier and I wish more people did that.
I don't know if we'll get there!! But Change Has To Come and those of us that change with the times Survive!! I'm a American Black 🖤 Woman who went to Korea in 2019' right before the Pandemic Hit!! I was a little skeptical about going mainly because I didn't speak any Korean and I didn't know anyone personally!! But once I got there I made some Amazing friends that were Korean but spoke English so it work out very well for me!! Glad I went there to witness it for myself and now I call Korea my Home Away From Home 🏠!! Phenomenal 🔥 Video and Thanks for Sharing🧡🤍🎇🤍🧡
I am German Nigerian and grew up between Germany, Nigeria & the UK. Love watching your podcast 🥰
Expose a child to limitless possibilities and let them know that they can do it .One of the most important things along the way is stick with the right people.And the young who said when he came back to Korea he was dark that is because he has melanin sleeping in his body and the sun wakes it up.😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have observed this with Korean culture regarding dreams in life. I worked decades with Korean international students and travelled to Korea more than 23 times. I remember saying and thinking that the goal of young people in Korea seems to be like everyone else rather than to be your own person or dream big/outside the box. Even Korean students who studied English and business in Canada, the goal was to return to Korea and work for a big name company. My wish for them is that studying abroad gave them bigger ideas and dreams. I love Korea and so grateful for all the time I spent getting to know and understand the people and the culture.
I’m not one of your students of course, but reading “My wish for them is that studying abroad gave them bigger ideas and dreams” was pretty insightful to hear as a Korean my self.
Very interesting conversation. I’m a Black Canadian that lived in Korea for 2 1/2 years and dated a Nigerian while there so mixed with the African community for a while. This conversation hits so many levels. Loved it.
I am Canadian/Caribbean. Did you face racism in S. Korea?
Bro his mom's African he came out of her ... now look at him , he's a very great unique guy.. it's pretty amazing ..
Love listening to you guys
I’m from West Africa(Liberia) I live in America and I am so proud to be an African. My mom is from Guinea and she speaks French.
Are you indigenous Liberian or was your ancestors taken from the America 100 years ago.
@@raven91777_I_AM I am indigenous Liberian
You know the Americans established libera for the ex slaves. So, I'm not sure how many indigenous African were there already. Your mom speaking French doesn't mean she's French. She's still african.
@@sky-pv7ff my mother entire family is from Guinea and they all speaks French. She and her family migrated to Liberia in the 70’s
She’s African and proud to be an African 🥰🥰
I love being a African woman🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
My mother speak Arabic, French, Thai, Japanese, Spanish and English. My mother speak more language than your African mother.🙃
When I first got to Korea, I was shocked that so many people were pale-like at the airport. I don’t think we see many Koreans like that in America. I quickly learned that light was preferred and pushed from entertainment. People with money were lighter as well. There were darker Koreans but that was neat the coast. Also, I could see how some Koreans wore light makeup to appear light. That was weird to me.
Bringing hate to Korea here...
@@mdilham5237… I think so. I saw video of Korean women bleaching their skin.
@luisafrance1635 I mean we are all racist in our own ways so we are all equal... no race is pure and clean and it will never be one...
@@mdilham5237 race is a social construct. I think in many ways, people want to be what we think is “better”’or have more value. So whatever society says is best is what people want. I hope that makes sense.
Colorism is a problem all over the world: Black community, India, South America.....everywhere. So sad.
This is a great channel, sending nuff love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Many thanks for tuning in!
I live and work in Japan and it is similar. I work in schools and I always make sure to tell the kids that they can do whatever they want to do. I have seen some go off to do amazing things like play soccer profesionally, etc. Kids are the future and with the internet they can literally shape their own destiny and change things for the betterment of the generation that comes after. Plus I just want them to be happy cause most adults I talk to say they hate their life/job and if they could they would quit, but as you know societal pressures runs deep.
Big Manny going on big. How has Japan changed in terms of the kids aspirations over the past ten/15 years.
This video enlightened me so much because I feel the same way after visiting several African countries and then I realized that I was living in a huge box.
Many thanks, which countries did you visit!?
Merci d'avoir pensé aux francophones dans les sous-titres 😁
Watching from South Africa!! 🇿🇦

El Vato speech is so valuable. I mean every single word ❤
Watching this video made me realise how much of an influence Africa has on the world. That being said. Every nation in the world has their own impact on the world

Woaaaah! Just 2 mins in and I love this guy! He is amazing! I wish I had him as a friend, very cool, humble and smart. I'm Haitian, watching from Canada. :). Wow he is awesome! When he speaks French he has that African accent. I am Haitian and I speak French, English, Creole and currently learning Mandarin.
Sa kap fèt. I'm haitian too.
Haitians are from his mother country
This guy is so cool, love how African he is ❤️
Watching from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I love what you all said ,others expectations (parents, friends, people around us ) on what we should be, on what we should dream it stays theirs cause it's their opinion we should expect from ourselves and to ourselves like y'all said we dream for us and we wanna achieve those things because we want to cause it's us who lives our lives and not other people you know
And about the racism it's everywhere people have these stereotypes but we Africans are proud of who we are cause we know our history, our culture and embrace our diversity. their view of us won't define us cause they don't know what we know, they haven't seen or experienced life as an African 😊
Period❤

Thank you for being open minded and see the bigger picture outside your comfort zone. Life is not measure by what other think, it's about you and how far you want to take it. Dream big and have some faith in yourself. Don't try to please others, you only need to please yourself. You don't need other validation to know your worth.
Thank you guys, as a 76yo black female to see this change warms my heart. Bless you all

He speaks French with a Togolese accent and maneurisms too. Love this dude!
He has a nice voice. That Togolese accent suits him.
He is amazing and I am so inspired by him. I am an African woman raised in the U. S. and love the diversity on the panel.

I’m from Uganda, this conversation is very insightful. Thanks for sharing your thoughts especially for the next generation.
Many thanks for watching 🇺🇬!
South Koreans are funny set of people's ,they love showing off what they got
Show off all the time
It’s actually really sad. They are so blinded by materialism that they are extremely shallow.
I think that is a product of their former oppression and eventual rising out of that. Much like a lot of African-Americans, who have felt the pains of poverty many of those in my culture tend to gravitate towards the outward and the flashy.
Many of us are changing, however.
But it is in essence a trauma response.
@@moniquewrites9046 Well said…
Yes, the impact of Western capitalism....Koreans love showing off? Why them only? lol
I'm African (Tanzanian), and I'm now visiting Chinese cities, such as Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yantai, etc. Man, if you've never been stigmatized, you can't understand this. These people, it's like they don't know if there are people of other races besides them who are existing on this planet. It's like they are sending a message to God like "Hey Sir, you made a mistake of creating people of a different sample than us". People still need education about creation bro! We are all one human bro
As a South Korean, totally agree on prejudices and stereotypes we have. We developed so much fast that ppl cant follow in cultures.
But for musilm is different.
First big impact of Musilm for Korean public was Kim-sun-il Kidnapped in 2004.
Islamic fundamentalism group kidnapped, executed and uploaded video of whole execution process on online.
Most of people never heard of what muslim and Islam religion before this accident.
After this accident and since today, Islam never be preferred religion in my country.
From this context, i understand why some people scared or not preferred Muslim in their boundaries.
Coursely, i want my country people have no prejudice and see people as just what they are but no one is perfect and people think based on their experience even me also.
Is this prejudice also?
Understandable
맞네요. 진짜 무슬림이 뭔지도 살다가 저도 처음 경험 한 것이 김선일씨 처형이네요.
지금 다시 떠올려 봐도 충격적이고 무서워요. 😢

I'm always impressed of how african culture is so embedded in Vato
Culture is a beautiful thing 🙏
Wow!!! What an interesting conversation. I lived in Korea for 3 years as Black African and my experience is different. I lived an opened minded life when I was there. And come to conclusion that Koreans don’t know much or have interactions with Africans or blacks until recently and that makes them so clueless about there approaches with Africans or people from other countries. I embraced there unknowingly to be less sensitive to what they say or ask about Africans or being black. I had fun, laughter and good memories about Korea. Overtime I am sure they will change and embrace others openly without prejudice. Hello to people of Daegu and Gwangju
So you did faced racism in Korea? Do you recommend Korea as a tourist destination for black people?
This is a fantastic conversation that I really enjoyed. It was extremely insightful, and seeing how your guys' multicultural upbringings and how both looking or feeling like a minority shaped your perspectives made for a great talk. I'd only come across your channel today, but I will be sticking around!
Thank you very much for your comment, many more videos like this coming soon 🙏
