  • What's It Like Being Black in South Korea Versus America?
    I'm an African American living in Seoul South Korea. Being Black in Korea is tricky, but there are definitely more upsides than down sides. If you are an African American and thinking about visiting South Korea, are you worried about racism? After living in South Korea for 13 years, I can tell you that you will have nothing to worry about when visiting or living in Seoul South Korea. Racism is a big issues, especially as the world is getting smaller and multiculturalism spreads. Is there racism in South Korea is a great question to ask, so I will give my answer from my own personal life experiences here.

    Many commenters, especially African Americans, have been asking me about racism in Korea. They are scared to come to Korea because they think its racist. I don't think Korea or Koreans are racist for the most part, but what do you all think?!

      Don't come if you're afraid. Koreans all know the true face of African Americans. They always pamper for their own good. Their trick is to always try to get something more, lying about being discriminated against. They don't fit the Korean society. 🤣🤣🤣

      I'm a Korean. Born in 1985. Currently, I believe that racism should never exist. There is no country without racial discrimination.
      It's a difference of degree.
      I have seen many Korean TH-camrs who film overseas travel videos face racial discrimination while traveling abroad.
      I was really, really angry when I saw that. In Korea, the level of racial discrimination is generally not as severe as in European countries such as the United States, Germany, and France.
      I say it again. Racism exists in all countries and varies in degree.

      This is an additional comment. There are a lot of young Koreans here who write comments that only vaguely pretend to know what the world is like when they don't really know what's going on. In my opinion, the comments they write are cute. These kids are like newborn chicks who don’t have much life experience and don’t know what the world is like.

      I spent some time in Korea last year. As a black American as well, I've felt more comfortable being black in Korea than in the States. While I've never experienced overt racism in the States, you are constantly being reminded of it and being told what your identity should be in the news and social media and it can exhausting as someone who just wants to do right by their fellow countrymen and women. In Korea, it was very nice to have a relief from that. Hope to see you around Korea soon!

    Racism exists in every country, but based on my experience living in Korea for the past 10 years,
    it seems to have less racism compared to many other countries.
    Often, those who claim online that Korea is a racist country have never actually visited Korea.

      It’s hard to put into words exactly what racism is like in Korea.. it’s different than the US. But not intentionally to harm in many sense. people do have to put into perspective the context of Korea as a homogeneous country and what people have generally been exposed to (sometimes not much exposure to different people). And yes, it’s difficult to agree with people who have opinions and presumptions without visiting or experiencing korea for themselves.

      In particular, Southeast Asians are famous for framing Korea as racist. Southeast Asians like the Japanese more than Korea. That is why they always try to see and talk about Japan better than Korea. Racial discrimination exists in every country. The reason why Southeast Asians frame Korea as a racist country, excluding Japan, is that some of them are likely to be anti-Koreans or Japanese pretending to be Southeast Asians.

      Precisely. Those who have stayed in sk for a long time and experienced their society first-hand will know this well. Of course, discrimination exists in korea as well. It's a phenomenon that occurs in all countries inhabited by humans. However, it's difficult to view discrimination in sk as simply discrimination related to ‘race’. More precisely, it often stems from feelings between countries due to diplomatic or historical relationships. In other words, rather than discriminating against others bcz their skin color or appearance is different from their own, there are cases where people dislike people from countries that have bad relationship with their own country. This is also not the right thing to do, but it cannot be concluded that it's simply discrimination based on ‘race’.
      Additionally, they have formed a homogeneous society for over a thousand years. Even when foreigners immigrate to korean peninsula in past, most of them assimilate into korean society, lose their original identity, and became koreans. Therefore, to them, foreigners are object of ‘unfamiliarity’ rather than object of ‘hate’. The latter view can also be perceived as racism, but it must be distinguished from hatred.
      On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, because the one-ethnic sentiment is still deeply rooted throughout the society, foreigners must follow the order of koreans, at least 'outside the home', in order to adapt to korean society. Otherwise, they sometimes become very aggressive. While I lived in sk, had met a variety of foreigners like me. Those who followed the korean order well were satisfied with their lives there, but those who rejected it experienced discrimination. This seemed to be a rule that applied not only to foreigners but also to same koreans.

    Based on my decade-long experience living in Korea as an American, I've observed that most Koreans don't discriminate against foreigners.
    This is likely because over 90% of the population is Korean, and they seldom have the opportunity to befriend foreigners.
    They generally don't concern themselves much with others; whether you're white or black, don't expect Koreans to be fluent in English or to initiate friendly conversations.
    This isn't due to racism; they don't even do this among themselves.
    Integration requires learning Korean and showing a willingness to understand the culture.Imagine an American being approached by a Korean who speaks only Korean and shows no interest in American culture-it would seem odd. Likewise, in Korea, foreigners should acknowledge that they are in a nation with its own unique culture and language. Koreans are not obligated to go out of their way to accommodate those who show no desire to learn about or engage with their culture and language. Incidents of foreigners being assaulted by Koreans are never happened, but there have been instances of Americans attacking Asians in America, as well as foreigners assaulting Koreans in Korea. Such occurrences have been noted multiple times in Itaewon.

    There is more hostility, anger, and racism in the US, UK, South America and Africa combined than in South Korea. There are racist and sexist individuals in every country, and in varying degrees. However, having lived in South Korea and other countries, what I have noticed is what I wrote above. The hatred of foreigners/different races is worse in the other countries. The disrespectful attitudes based on gender and race are 100000x worse in the other countries mentioned, including the US. The US is worse when it comes to racism and sexism spewed by individuals. Koreans are raised with the respect in the homes and schools that America isn't. It's a different level of appreciation Koreans are raised with. A perfect example is how the Korean subways look and are managed. The way the Korean gover/nment cares about their society speaks volumes. The way the US gov/ernment doesn’t care about their society speaks volumes, too. Walk down the streets and intp the subways in the major cities in America. You can see how little pride the American gov/ernment shows its people. It's reflected in how their schools, hospitals, and police stations are run. South Korea is on another level of control and safety. The American gover/nment is run by bullies.

      대부분의 한국인들이 외국인을 만날 일이 없기 때문에 거의 영화나 드라마에서 형성된 이미지로 다른 인종을 생각하는 경우가 많습니다.
      흑인은 랩퍼거나 운동을 잘한다. 노래를 잘한다, 갱스터같이 미디어가 주는 고정관념을 가진 경우가 많아요.
      이것은 다른 인종을 일상적으로 경험하지 못하기 때문에 미디어가 주입하는 방식으로 생각하는 것입니다.

    Bro, I lived 25 years in NYC as a Korean American. This is something I will never be able to figure out. I grew up in Brooklyn, and I was discriminated all the time in school by my black peers. But when my preacher father(no English) had a chance to preach in one of the churches in Bronx with translation, the church members who were mostly black, said that they like my father and if the translation is right, they would welcome to have my father as a senior pastor in their church. Isn't this beautiful? What is racism anyway? I think It comes from immaturity

    Bro, again, you have a great personality and a very
    good understanding of a very sensitive and difficult topic on racism in Korea and in general!! Many people would have acted bitter and felt resentful if they were in your situation especially when it comes to getting rejected based on your race both professionally and personally but you kept it cool and decided to stay positive and educate people on this sensitive topic. BTW, many Korean Americans are often rejected from teaching in Korea too just because of their race and ethnicity. It's nothing personal though. Korean schools do not consider Korean Americans "real" native English teachers I guess. It's stupid if you ask me because they are just as qualified as white people if not more. This is called reverse discrimination. Many Korean Americans are discriminated in the U.S. due to their race and also here in Korea. So unfair! But it's all business I guess in Korea. I know a thing or two about racism myself too as I have experienced it and seen it when I was living in the U.S. as an Asian American. As for me, I could care less if random strangers dislike or even hate me as an Asian because I will never see them again but the biggest issues I have are hate crimes and violent unprovoked racially motivated assault on innocent people because of their race. I say this because violent hate crimes are very dangerous and scary. After all, you don't know who, when, and how you are going to be attacked. It could happen anytime and anywhere by anyone in public and it's hard to protect yourself. Racism and prejudice are everywhere like you said but violent unprovoked hate crimes are on totally different levels. It's horrific and insane to attack innocent unprovoked people just because of their race. Hate crimes against Asians were very rampant during COVID-19 in the U.S. It was a very frightening time for many Asians living in the U.S. as you could imagine. How in the world can any human being do this to random unprovoked innocent people including elders just because of their race and ethnicity is beyond me!! These are truly sick and crazy people!! Luckily in Korea, it's a safe country when it comes to hate crimes. No need for you to worry about getting attacked because of your race. I wish I could say the same thing about the U.S. and elsewhere as hate crimes against Asians still exist sadly. I hate to say this because I still love America but it is a fact!! Stay safe bro!! I love your channel!! Please say NO to racism and stop all forms of hate crimes against anyone and everyone in this world!! Peace~~

    Korea is not a multicultural country with a long history of immigration unlike the United States or some European countries. The foreign population was 1.1% of the total population in 2006, about 1 million 10 years ago and now 2.5 million(4.9% of the total population). Most of them are from Asian countries and Westerners are less than 0.5% of the population(Black people are less than 0.1%) So when they see a westerner they're not used to it so they still tend to think it's amazed or different from them. That's why they stare at Westerners a lot. Korea is still in its early stages of multiculturalism and the locals need time to adapt to foreigners. As the number of foreigners increases, laws and culture will gradually improve to become more foreigner-friendly. It takes time so it will be difficult for people who lack patience to live there. People don't realize how few Westerners there are in Korea. Let me show the government statistics below.

    I am a Korean born in New York and currently live in Ohio. Kind of a funny story on how racism can benefit in a small way… if you are in a restaurant being served by a different race and the service is awful or if you talk to a different color stranger and they are standoffish - in The States, we can think..”Oh maybe it’s because I’m Black, Asian or White while they are (different color).. “ to sort of help write off the episode right? But when in Korea (like Francois said : is a country with a very homogenous ethnic society where most are Koreans) .. if a waiter, staff, stranger or a friend of a friend is mean to me.. I know it’s because they don’t like me personally as a person and has nothing to do with race. 😂

    While it'd be a lie if one says racism isn't existent in S Korea at all, in many cases it's actually a result of the person not behaving appropriate to Korean culture. It's not just foreigners in Korea. I live in Canada and I see some Koreans do things that don't align with the culture here, which obviously leads to not-too-nice responses from the locals, and they overinterpret that as people being racist to them.

      I remember reading an article about an unfortunate incident that happened in Korea, where an old man was trying to say to a Black guy that he can sit here, but what the Black guy heard was the n-word and he beat the old man. In Korean, "you" is "ni", and after the subject of a Korean sentence you put "ga", so you know what it would sound like for English speakers when put together. You may have heard this in some kpop songs. That poor old man probably didn't even speak English at all nor knew about the n-word. That Black guy didn't even know very basic Korean and was probably thinking the old man was such a racist.

I was called with all sorts of racist remarks you could possibly think of on a daily basis as a Korean woman in the US. I don't know where the rumor about Korea being the most racist country began, but those people who think Korea is a racist country certainly haven't really been to anywhere else...

    Most discrimination is a result of ignorance.
    Humans instinctively know that discriminating is advantageous for survival, so they are basically made to discriminate.
    The only way to fix it is to understand the other person through learning and intentionally control your own words and actions.
    Therefore, if no country has yet succeeded in reducing the illiteracy rate to zero, it is natural that racial discrimination exists everywhere on the planet.
    Therefore, when you experience racism, the best thing to do is not to criticize it but to impart knowledge.
    Because all racism is caused by lack of knowledge.

    As a Korean, racial discrimination in modern Korea is very rare case. Koreans just equally detest what they hate regardless skin colour. For example, If someone expresses different ideologies such as communism(especially Chinese), homosexuality, Islamic principles, etc., he will experience real discrimination in Korea regardless of his skin colour and this tendency represents whole Korea society. Because a number of Koreans have conflicted themselves by their political leaning, religious thought, social class, illegal immigration, feminism, etc., there is no room for skin colour.
    South-East Asian or Chinese could experience some discrimination due to the deterioration of illegal immigration and drug smuggling from SE-Asia and China to Korea society. In that Chinese people with the same skin colour and similar appearance as Koreans are major subject to discrimination, the aversion in Korea is not a matter of skin colour.
    As mentioned before, Koreans are just equally disgusted by what they hate. it doesn't matter with skin colour and even Korean can be a target of loathing and scorn.

    Most recent first introduction of South Korean experience with black-skin colored people, especially african-americans, were in fact since Korean War. We koreans were begging for chocolates to the black american soldiers just 74 years ago. There are no basis to look african-americans down and consider skin color as of social class for us south koreans. Moreover, local south korean society prefers cultural synchronization over homogeneous. There are many foreign workers from middle asia and southeast asia recognized to be "true korean" by south korean public society not because they look alike koreans but speaks korean, eat like korean, and be alongside with korean society.
    "Yes. You were born outside korea, but you can communicate with us koreans, you eat like korean, you share our morality, our rules, our customs, our values, and you live in korean soil, then you are korean."
    Then about some racial conservative attitude on some korean families about you mentioned about your ex-girlfriend... korean families that views and values people divisional do discriminate people among homogeneousily-equal-koreans by which region they were born. By contrast, even if the ones born aborad but accustomed to the local customs, will be considered as of local koreans and will be named after the local region he or she settled in.
    To be short, be open-minded to be along with koreans. We do not have such culture based on 'race'.

      @@francoismarc3 I have to note that there are even a word that koreans often uses for black-colored people, '흑형/누나' but regardless of whether country they came. At first glance, foreigners tend to think it's equivelant to 'N' words, but if the ones know how language Korean works, It's the opposite. '형/누나/오빠/언니' is being used to call elder/experienced female/male with respect. '흑' which means 'Black' with it, the word '흑형/누나' literally means 'elderly/experienced male/female who is black'. There are no such historical background of slavery and social class kind of stuff like in the US but the skin color was most distinguished factor for koreans to distinguish other people from Africans or African-Americans. And even for the elders, there are even no specific word to call different-skin color people. They are just all 'Elders' in korean vocabulary.

    Supposing African Americans didn't do anything against Korean Americans during black people's massive riot in LA in 1991 and other racial conflicts such as the BLM protesting, most Koreans might not have had some negative feelings for African Americans. Unfortunately, lots of black people used to attack South Koreans Who operated small businesses instead of crazy white racists in the US society when they had a chance. Moreover, they attacked openly innocent Korean Americans during the pandemic season. They needed scapegoats instead of insane white racists at the time. What is it like being a Korean who was ridiculed by black people in America? That's my question before understanding this video.

    I am a Korean who recently subscribed to your channel. I am so sad that you had a bad experience in Korea, and I am so sorry for you.
    Such prejudice remains in the older generation of Korea. Since Korea was the poorest country since the Korean War (1950-1953), and there were many white countries in the past in advanced countries, older Koreans may have subconsciously envied them.
    To be rude to you and openly discriminate against you is a very bad behavior. I don't think the professor deserves to teach others. He should be ashamed of himself.
    However, I hope the experience is not about hatred of black people, but about the difference in preferences as an English teacher.
    This is because some English academies in Korea have a preconceived notion that foreigners are native speakers than Korean, no matter how good teacher are at English.
    Although Korean American are very good English teacher, they are discriminated against in their home country.
    Some Korean tend to think that English is white people's language. It is not racial discrimination, but a difference in preference as an English teacher.
    People deserve to be respected regardless of race.
    I am ashamed of the non-manners of some older people in Korea. Many Koreans' eyes on foreigners are often curious eyes rather than racism.
    I can feel it when I see what you say. You seem to be a nice person and intelligent, very thoughtful, warm and kind. Your soul is more beautiful. I hope you will be happy. I love your channel. Have a great time.😊

    솔직히 상대적 개념으로 유럽이나 미국 일본하고 한국의 인종차별을 객관적으로 구분하는게 맞다고 봄.
    같은 선진국그룹 안에서
    일단 미국과 유럽의 인종차별이 있다는걸 인지했다면 한국은 어는정도인지 상대적으로 덜한지. 심한지. 단순히 한국의 인종차별로
    인종차별이 심한나라라고 보긴 힘들지.
    한국은 외국인이 들어오던 시기가 매우 짧고 적어.
    게다가 한국인들은 해외나가면 인종차별 당한다 어차피 그것에 대해 보상해주지 않는데.
    우리는 인종차별 하면 안되고. 우리가 나가서 인종차별 받으면 괜찮고.
    그 부분도 봐야지.
    결론적으로 유럽과 미국의 인종차별을 보고 상대적으로 한국의 인종차별 수준을 평가하는게 객관적인거 같음.
    아니면 중국과 일본과 비교해서 보는것도 괜찮지.
    인종차별이 없는나라는 애초에 존재하지 않는다.
    게다가 보통 더 잘사는 나라로 이주하는 경우가 많기 때문에 난민이라던지. 외국인노동자에 대한 시선이라던지.
    고정관념이 생길수 있는 부분이기도 하고. 미국에서도 불법난민 문제가 크다고 알고 있는데.
    만약에 선진국에서 선진국으로 넘어간다면 인종차별은 덜함.
    이 분은 미국인이기 때문에 더 대우받는 나라에 왔음. 한국은 미국의 속국이고.
    미국에 매우 우호적인 나라이기도 하고.
    피부색에 의한 차별이 없다면. 거짓이고. 미국인에 대한 플러스.
    영어에 대해서도 우호적이다.
