Being a white person in Korea

[@sadelouise]

Hey everyone! So someone commented on my IG about calling myself a "minority" and describing it as "my whole life" and I just wanted to clarify since it was cut from the video. I lived abroad in Paraguay during my more formative years and was part of a "minority" group of foreigners since there weren't many foreigners in the country. I recognize my word choice could've been better (jet-lagged brain did me dirty) and also that I pretty much have privilege everywhere I go. Still, thanks for interviewing me~ I hope this clarifies so there's no future misunderstanding! 🤍

But in the Central asia, white people are not that much foreigners . Or if you dont speak russian, you are not welcomed foreigner regardless of race.

[@gillmsnfillman1691]

@@shark1140 That's understandable. Without delving too deeply into Geography, I was primarily referring to South, South East, and East Asia in particular, rather than Central Asia. I'm sure we can all agree that these three regions make up the vast majority, and they are the most frequently visited by foreigners in the west. I haven't done much research on the mentioned areas, so I'll take your word for it for the time being.

[@farahyuck4836]

I really enjoyed hearing their experiences thank you for this video

[@Ginkorea]

Thanks to Jerry for having me on, to clarify a lot of what I am saying here is a generalisation and I have no doubt my opinions will change in future. Race is not something in your control so my advice for long-term stay foreigners of non Korean decent is to focus on spending time in the language, communication is your only tool against any discrimination. 90% of the so called 'foreigner problems' are just a language issue. Change yourself before trying to change the world. It can be done. Learn how to exchange ideas, enter the culture and live in KOREA! (using English all day is living in the west). - George

[@learnpaintpaint]

english is the international language so what koreans try to do ? change the international language?

[@Ginkorea]

@Learn paint Paint I think you might have missed my point which is okay. If a foreigner goes to live in Korea surely they need to adapt and not expect everyone to speak the international language. Because Korea doesn't have to let foreigners in, we are actually privileged enough to be in 'their' country. So out of respect for the culture and in order to function in your chosen society (for long term stayers) learning the language is required. Transversely, if a Korean citizen does not plan on staying abroad long term or have a career where English is needed, despite the potential benefits, I think its their choice to learn the 'international language'. To conclude, communication solves foreigner issues. Going abroad expecting things to be 'international' is not realistic and is a popular false idea in the west.

[@learnpaintpaint]

@@Ginkorea i agree with you 100 percent . however, what i meant was about those who stay in a country for short term ,and since korea is trying hard to advertise itself on tourism market , i expect government to allocate more of budget to educate people in this way . because simply if i wanna just see a country for like a week i wouldn't try to learn it's language unless i'm interested or it has a benefit in my life and i would for sure get help from a guide , but even with a guide you may still need to talk to local people and it's rude if they act on a way like you're weird or something because you don't know the language . that's what is called hospitability . also knowing English as the second language is an index of literacy at least in my country

There's a saying in Korea that being white can erase all other flaws. I even had a conversation with a Korean guy who said that if a girl was not his type (overweight for example), he could like her for being blonde and white.

It's a weird hierarchy

What the fuk are u talking about? majority of koreans are born with white/pale/light skin naturally but plenty of them easily get dark/tanned during summers because of tons of uv here in the summer. Remember the climate in winter of northern regions of south korea is extremely cold and lack of sun, so it's natural that even naturally tanned skinned koreans get lighter skins during winter time and there are lots of pale/white skinned koreans because they are not frequently/consistently exposed to the UV

[@saif_hyu]

It is true that many people in South Korea may make assumptions or have biases based on a person's nationality. This is a form of discrimination and is not acceptable. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and fairness, regardless of their nationality. It is important to note that discrimination and biases can happen in any society and it's crucial to address and combat these attitudes. It's also important to remember that people from any one country can have a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and it's unfair to make assumptions or generalizations about any group of people based on their nationality.

(It can be awkward using a translator) Foreigners who think Koreans do whitewashing are rude people who don't even try to understand Korean culture. White skin has traditionally been the standard of beauty in Korea. Because white skin used to mean a position where white skin didn't have to work outside, the preference for white skin hasn't changed much even now, but that doesn't mean white people can be rude and black people are discriminated against. In Korea, it is called Samblack, Samhong, and Sambaek, and the standard of beauty is that hair, eyebrows, eyes are black, lips, cheeks, nails are red, and skin, hands, and teeth are white The Chinese beauty statue right next door is the same In 儒玉 (623), there is '骨肌氷梅' (ice/skin/bead/bone bone), which is 'a metaphorical term for a beautiful person with clear skin, or the fine and cleanness of plum blossoms'. It is used for 'Seolgi (meaning white skin like snow, and the name of the skin of a beautiful woman).' 腰雪膚細세허리:요)피부고가늘는함부눈설는(: Thin waist and white skin like eyes It's called red-colored makeup, which applies percentage to the face and red-colored makeup to the cheeks

Because the only thing Australian hate are people who disrespect our culture to fit into their beliefs and ideology. We don’t like it when they come here to Australia for a better life to get away from their country that oppressed them due to their culture and religious beliefs and lack of freedom they didn’t have back in their own country to only try and change our ways of life. An example is trying to stop Christmas celebrations at school because they don’t believe in it, well hello you choose to move and live in a Christian country where majority are Christians and this Australian find it offensive and extremely rude considering that we have allowed them to continue their cultural, traditions and even letting them build a Mosque.

People need to understand/realize that being white can be beneficial to a certain extent or degree (in other cultures). Yes there is often the perception that one may automatically be well off, because of media and what society pushes forth and some individuals still having a very colonized mind-set within the black and brown communities. But in all honesty, if you are over-weight or what not, a Korean’s treatment of one will not be the best since they value people being thin. So if you fall within the category of attractive on a world-wide scale because you are thin (or in shape), your features come together nicely, and etc. Despite your ethnic and racial background you will still be acknowledged and told you are attractive. Trust me (Latina, tan-dark skin chica), with friends in Korea that were black etc. You will have a good time, same applies for traveling in other countries. Looks are looks…

To clarify, I was standing still at a traffic light. If it was somehow my mistake, do you really think being sworn and spat at is a just response? He explictly said "씨발 양키놈들... 쯧, 더러운 새끼들" Come on man. The man who kicked me and seemed high is what they refer to as 노숙자. Take one trip to 서울역 and you will understand the type of person I am describing. As for drugs, it sounds like you believe that drug use is only exclusive to/ or mainly used by foreigners in Korea. Drugs can be easily purchased on apps like telegram by Koreans and raicism exists in every part of the world. I hope we cleared some misunderstanding here, assuming 'he probablly kicked me becuase it was my fault' is really overlooking the situation. Let's not defend someone who responds with violence to a man 'blocking him' (even though I can assure you me and my 2 other Korean friends were waiting there way before he showed up) just based off the fact he's a Korean, he should not of hit me, yes even Korean people get high too, I'd appreacite it if you would think again about your comment.

[@sappinu9577]

(It can be awkward using a translator) Foreigners who think Koreans do whitewashing are rude people who don't even try to understand Korean culture. Traditionally, white skin has been the standard of beauty in Korea. Because in the past, white skin meant status without having to work outside Even now, the preference for white skin has not changed much, but that does not mean that white people can be rude and that black people are discriminated against.

[@dooseobkim2100]

It is a pleasure to see this video as a Korean staying abroad. But I'd like to leave some comments on experiences what they've got in Korea for better understanding of ppl who are not native Koreans. First of all, racism that they talked in this video is more like a lookism, as all female interviewees talked in this video, the beauty standard in this country is about how your skin color is light(white) or not. It gets more stronger when it comes to point of veiws toward females, among Korean females they tend to value someone who has lighter skin color and also males do the same. But for males having light skin color doesn't really matter, cuz some of girls prefer brown or dark skins of men becoz they think it looks more masculine. But in general Korean ppl don't associate skin colors with someone's intellectual abilities or personality. If they treat someone poorly with their streotypes on skin color then that is definitaley a racial discrimination. But as far as I experienced, I've never witnesed that sort ot things in Korea. So their beauty standard is not attiributed to admiration toward white ppl or western society. Just Korean esthetic has been obsessed with the color 'white' but not with the western cultures, for example most of Koreans would not understand the point of tanned skins in western society. Because in Korean history only noble privillaged class was free from physical activities and especially for females from noble class going outside from their own house is something going agianst the morals in the society for 300 years, in addition after being independent Korea was World's poorest country ever, so they kept admiring who are free from hard workloads, the upper class, and white skin was a symbol that demonstrates those females are noble. Hence it is more like a view of beauty that we've beared through the history of our country rather than a mean to discriminate foriegners. And for the British guy, I would say it was just a random under educated old man who does the shit to a random person, but still can not exclude the case he is actually xenophobic. Hook ups in Hong-Dae or other popular hanging out places in Seoul(Capital city) are pretty common and those youngsters do those things someone looks beautiful or "easy" regardless where the person come from. If you are in those situations you can simply avoid them by saying 'I'm in a relationship' in Korean. For the last comment, dating in Korea as a foreigner might be tough or difficult especially if you are seeking Koreans for your date. Koreans tend to be in a close circle only with the people they've known for a long time and they already have their life-long groups from their high schools or even from elementry school. So it is a common challenge for Koreans to have deep relationships with ppl they met after highschool. I assume you gotta try hard to get to know them and get into their circles, I have an Ukranian freind who got married Korean guy but she was really good at speaking Korean and studied and worked with Koreans for several years. But I'd say it is because Koreans are more used to be in their safe zones but not necessarily they want to exclude foreigners from them. Hope your time in Korea be worth a lot.
