Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Why is there a stereotype in Korea that "white girls" are easy or prostitutes? What happened to make people think that?
I used to attend the language school these guys do... (Yonsei KLI based on their surroundings).
I suppose I experienced maybe half of what they are talking about. Being denied entrance to certain bars or clubs is totally true -- I never experienced people avoiding me in the subway or on the busses though.
Interesting watch.
The extreme racism and sexism seems much more acceptable, even fun, with that happy whistling background music. We should use that music when presenting stories about racism in the States.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about how cabs don't pick you up. If you are white you will not be able to get a cab. I was there 2 summers ago visiting my friend and we got separated late at night. I was not able to get hold of him but knew how to get to his house from the subway stop. Now the subways in korea stop really early, because of the taxi unions (or so I am told), so I had to find a cab. It took me the better part of an hour to get a cab to stop for me and another 20 minutes to get one that would let me use the meter. Most of them just said it would be 60 american dollars and when I said no would drive away (the cab would be about 10-15). One guy just kept circling the block saying "ready to pay?"

Something unusual about immigration in the USA, and perhaps unique to the States, is that Americans generally feel/believe that a foreigner can become a bona fide American in only a few years. I recently talked to an Uber driver from Eritrea who had been here for 6 years and he told me that he is now a citizen and is excited to be an American. As he was telling me how much he loves being able to eat pho, burgers, and pizza within a few minutes of his house I had this feeling of shared pride well up inside of me that is the exact opposite of the reaction these people felt in Korea.
So those girls mentioned "smell".
I once heard that East Asian people think Europeans/Americans smell of stale milk because we eat and drink a lot of dairy products... is this true?
This is racist, but Asian countries and cultures are the most racist countries and cultures.
I was American military stationed in Korea. I loved it. I could tell there was some racism, but there was also some of the greatest hosts on the planet. I was at PoChon (ski mountain) and an older gentleman grabbed me, asked if I was a soldier, and then proceeded to thank me for my kindness for coming to Korea's rescue in the 50s. He bought me a beer and invited me to eat with his family in the hotel. I brought a handle of Jack Daniels and we had a great time.
