What's Dating Like For Black Women In Korea?

Women of color with education, sophistication, etiquette, distinction, higher purpose, accomplishment and morals sometimes get a "back seat" in the media as compared to the raunchy portrayal done by the media. It is disappointing that people base their opinions and perceptions based on stereotypes.

[@Cxs1a3]

But that's due to their own culture. Another example for guys in America is going to college, getting a good job, is seen as lame by themselves. What's cool to them is being a rapper, athlete, gangsta. Even in Africa, there are entire villages of people trying to make it big in soccer, there are no entire villages of people trying be engineers. So in terms of women, the same concepts are brought over.

[@rhonda5056]

@@Cxs1a3 Sorry to hear that most women of color that I know have Master's and Doctorate Degrees. But in most cases their parents were educated and professionals. So they had role models.

[@Cxs1a3]

But most men of all cultures don't find that attractive. What you describe is actually a major turn-off for a lot of men, and when it's not a turn-off, it certainly doesn't boost your value as much as it would for a man. Men stand to benefit a lot more, so it's a shame that statisitcally, we know a lot more women than men of color educate themselves. I get you're tryna disprove the stereotype, but the fact that you know women, not men who do it, only strengthens it.

It is actually sad, but glad to have people, channels like yours (and other Koreans) showing up truths. I already know blacks are already viewed differently and not in a positive light, but it is still sad to watch the confirmation. But glad to have this ammunition of truth as a protection as a blk woman when traveling or leaving in these places. Seems the only healthy ones to even consider are the ones whose family has more of an open mind/worldview and acceptance of other cultures, especially in regards to race.

Media and those in control of said media. Makes them think everything in songs, films and staged live documentaries are applicable to real life, the kicker is that they don't apply the same mentality to wytes. And guess who pushes out certain narratives, while stifling wholesome ones in the US? A few rappers like Nikki, Cardi, the fifty-leven rappers with lil and baby to their names say when they do songs without s€x and violence, they are turned away so fast their heads spin, and they only get call backs when their lyrics ia degenerate and derelict lyrics. It's why Afrobeats is gaining ground. Hope it doesn't go down the same deviant drain.

I've seen that this stereotype is applied to white American women as well. So, at least some part of it is for simply being American.

Sorry to say but I have watched some vlogs of Black ladies twerking in the streets, too tight clothes and as an older Black American woman I thought to myself "they see that and think we're all like that."

The Ethiopian lady had a good point, the Koreans kinda expect the black women to be from US, and oddly France! 😂 However, I think maybe due to the amount of Americans in KR, that they actually think every black person (man/woman) would be American. However it appears the experiences are very much the same. It’s interesting 🤔. I’m Black British of Caribbean descent, and it seems that in places like KR or even Japan at that, that society is views different (unless they’re well travelled) towards those from even South East Asia, as well as black people. But to be fair to them, if you go even some places in say idk, Denmark for example, in the countryside people may not be used to seeing black people. I experienced that once, found it a little uncomfortable, but found out it was cuz they were not used to seeing a black person😂. Basically the common denominator here is: do NOT go to KR just to look for man!😂😂😂

I'm a black American female. I went to Zürich solo and got blatantly stared at by the men there. The only other black people I saw were inside the central train station (probably just passing through). I'm pretty sure they weren't black Americans though (probably Africans). So, I was an extreme anomaly. I was like "hi 😊 you're welcome to stare."

It only becomes an issue if Koren women either can't get other races, or don't want to go for other races. And we know neither is true. When one of those conditions is true, then it becomes an issue for them e.g black women in western countries who can't really get other races, or white women in lower status asian countries who aren't attracted to the men there, but all the wite men want to go for the Asian women instead

[@millennialx9044]

I honestly believe a lot of the stereotypes about black women that SK men prescribed to came from the importing of Hip Hop culture to SK. My Dad was stationed there in the late 1990s well into the early 2000s and a lot of the guys where into Hip Hop, its unfortunate that the way black women were portrayed or the way black female rappers portrayed themselves in those music videos and the lyrics heavily influenced SK men's perception of all black women. I saw the shift happen at first the boys would barely talk to foreign girls, and when they did they were curious but respectful, the colorism wasn't even that bad yet because even the Korean stars back then had natural golden skin tones, but the Hallyu Wave changed everything and not for the better IMHO.

[@freesia2252]

[@millennialx9044]

@@freesia2252 Not solely but it has a lot to do with the issue. I lived through that transition there as a teen and young adult. Not just the men's perception of black women changed but the women's perception did as well. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

[@millennialx9044]

@@freesia2252 For reference I'm an 80s baby, army brat who grew up in the 80s 90s early 2k, when we came to SK the music scene was from folk, Mando Pop to contemporary pop. True American pop music and hip hop came in the 90s and the SK government got so bent out of shape about the unregulated hypersexual western entertainment content being imported they created strict rules about content in the late 90s early 2k. Entertainment artist in K RNB and K Hip hop where copying and pasting black music and culture and the government weren't having it. There was a Group called SweeT that was a rip off of TLC, but they were mad talented just chaotic and poorly managed. It's wayyyyy more watered down now, but to see SK boys go from this GAP aesthetic to Hood down to the corn rows, baggy pants and fake gold chains was an FN spectacle to behold. To have classmates who were normal in middle school, then in highschool start approaching you sideways with yo yo ma I had to constantly check them. Also before the entertainment wave, there were two types of black people to Koreans, Dark meant you were From Africa, light skinned meant you were from the US or Europe, unless you were an entertainment superstar, then definitely were from the US. What's weird was like Micheal Jordan was hugely popular and obviously Dark skinned, but their brains seemed unable to make the connection that American black people came in all colors. For instance Because I am very fair black woman but often wore my hair cornrows cause the humidity was nuts there, they still didn't consider me as black. Colorism has existed in Asia free of African influence for millennia. Their colorism is based in classism. Poor people where tan laborers who worked in the sun, pale people where rich nobles who never left the shade.

[@LisaRobinson0725]

That's why the entertainment industry in general must begin to move away from the lower vibrational habitual mainstream music patterns and performing arts concepts that target and thereby demean People of Color in general, but particularly, Africans, African Americans (Blacks) and others that, for the most part, slant and even lie altogether about historical and cultural facts and even the truth in an effort to sensationalize/fantasize cultural reality for profit and influence. It is important to do this not only because it's the right thing to do, but also, it is important to not offend people carelessly in an increasingly global marketplace. Intermingling of diverse populations worldwide has become normal and even embraced. So having respect alongside an understanding for our global neighbors is paramount. Therefore, moving away from stereotypes that are founded on racist, bigoted and even egotistical ideas is not only ignorant but dangerously counterproductive in a global marketplace. Moreover, and for example, America's entertainment industry is one of the largest and most powerful in the world, and so, what it promotes typically does have a large influence on mass perceptions, unless, a people/person have a good upbringing, are well educated and well traveled. Therefore, people in general, do have a tendency to believe whatever is put 'out there' of which is mostly false. However, because of such mass perceptual fabrications that have been, and still are, promoted to the public at large it is very important to counter such degrading/negative advertising, marketing and stereotypical representations by being a positive example. Importantantly, it's intelligent to have commentary videos like this in order to disseminate the truth/facts which dissolves lies by enlightening people to the facts which distributes to the public a reasonably balanced social-cultural perspective.

[@hotsunkist]

I think in Korea, men who like to sleep around will look for women to sleep with, not just black women. I’m originally from Russia/Ukraine, and the men there often think that almost every Russian/Ukrainian woman is someone they can easily sleep with. I don’t know who started this notion, but I don’t like it. I’m sure this attitude isn’t limited to ‘black girls’ or ‘Russian/Ukrainian girls,’ but extends to women from many other countries that Korean men find particularly beautiful.

[@ratpatootie9579]

Media representation and close-mindedness of Korean people due to lack of diversity in the country lead to these unshakeable beliefs in stereotypes. Black female rappers are probably one of the most well known forms of media of us and it doesn’t necessarily suck, what sucks is that it’s the only real form that gets traction. What also sucks is that simple-minded individuals exist that take everything at surface level. Most Asian dominated countries (China, Korea, and more) just can’t find it within themselves to understand that what they see online may not represent a whole demographic of people (shocking, right?). It seems like a very easy to understand concept but they just can’t grasp it.
