SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Lee Jae-myung, who rose from childhood poverty to become South Korea’s leading liberal politician vowing to fight inequality and corruption, will become the country’s next president on Wednesday after an election that closed one of the most turbulent chapters in the young democracy.
Lee, 60, the candidate of the liberal opposition Democratic Party, is taking office for a full, single five-year term, succeeding Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative who was felled over his stunning yet brief imposition of martial law in December.
Care to elaborate on rampant racism? Lived in SoKo for fifteen years as a foreigner and haven’t noticed much of it myself.
It is apparently focused on black people. White people are seen as superior for some reason. https://unbiasthenews.org/heard-but-not-seen-being-black-in-south-korea/ This is a few years old, but I don’t imagine too much has changed. I’ve never been to Korea, I’m no expert on it or anything, but I’m inclined to believe Mr. Pinnacle.
Asia in particular love white foreigners, especially around cinema.
What do you mean especially around cinema?
Interesting. Wonder why.
they love action movies of westerners, were asian so my parents love these movies, they always see white as legitimiate.rich or superior. its no wonder beast/paul bros are big there too.
why do you think ROCK and JOHN xina has been catering to china.
Strange. So they have a positively skewed view from our celebrities? Really surprising that they would like the Pauls, if only because of how disrespectful they were on their little… tourist trips. I’m an American, I have a strong dislike for most celebrities, especially the Royal Family/Kardashian type. Thanks, interesting answer.
they dont care about drama in the west, like europe and us does. they just to see westerners, do funny stuff or action movies. there was a whole thread on reddit about mr beast and his lunchly fiasco. someone said his products were being sold overseas, and none of them talk about his current drama. i heard thier shitty food is sold out in asia.
Yeah, I personally know Pinnacle and he’s right, but I wouldn’t call it rampant racism. Those clubs that don’t allow foreigners have been named and shamed and put on the news over and over throughout the years where you just don’t hear about them anymore. They didn’t let anyone not Korean in, not just black people. It was always just a few dumb clubs anyway, not exactly rampant. Koreans, in general are relatively open to outsiders, especially compared to the Japanese.
Did they ever create any anti- discrimination laws?
Remnants of the Korean police action. There’s a MASH episode about it
