The sooner Korea has to look out for itself, the better.
Yes, but is this the sentiment of the majority? Do they want all foreigners to leave? Not just Americans.
Ha, ha, why do I get the feeling a certain poster is going to be along in a minute?
but...for a country that has done pretty much nothing except either get its ass kicked or hide under the umbrella of another whilst talking shit to everyone else.....Korea really needs to revaluate its worth.
The one that's going to feel personally slighted by this
hey, guess what? sometimes when you live in another country, the locals won't always be happy to see you. that's called "being an immigrant". you can't always expect everyone to bend over backwards and go out of their way to make your stay in their country a happy one. unbelievable...the amount of entitlement in this thread(am i doing it right?)
South Korea, not very tolerant, is an outlier. Although the country is rich, well-educated, peaceful and ethnically homogenous all trends that appear to coincide with racial tolerance more than one in three South Koreans said they do not want a neighbor of a different race. This may have to do with Korea's particular view of its own racial-national identity as unique studied by scholars such as B.R. Myers and with the influx of Southeast Asian neighbors and the nation's long-held tensions with Japan.
Honestly, I don't care whether Koreans want me here or not. Korea has it's moments of insanity for sure, but nowhere near the clusterf*** that is South Africa. I only hope that I survive the year when I go back to do my PGCE (my wife and child too).
I came across this quote from a Korean:'it's not the minority who doesn't want foreigners in Korea it's the majority. why should i respect people who attack other countries and kill people just because they don't have the "right" political system, or to steal their resources?'Is this really the sentiment there now? I am not there but I truly believe this is the ravings of a racist lunatic who is fortunately in the minority in Korea.Let me know what you think.
