Racism in South Korea
Racism in South Korea is widespread and overt in nature, stemming from the country's commonly-held belief that Koreans are a "pure blooded race" that have been homogeneous throughout history.〔http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2012/10/18/2012101800458.html〕〔http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2988812〕 South Korean racism comes in a variety of different forms, such as nationalistic xenophobia, ethnic prejudices, and discrimination against persons on the basis of their skin color and ancestry.
African Americans and South East Asians are highly advised to take enough time to think before choosing to permanently reside in South Korea. Though many Koreans' perspectives have changed, too many Koreans are prone to easily mock people from other nations, especially those immigrants with skin colors other than "white". Even South Koreans from South Korean parents hear surprisingly offensive remarks if they have looks similar to those with different ethnicities.
Racism permeates many levels of South Korean society, from education to employment. Children born to South Korean mothers and American fathers often are mistreated by students at schools,〔(Biracial Children Accepted, Shunned by Classmates ). Asian Correspondent (2009-01-26). Retrieved on 2011-09-30.〕〔(Paul Z. Jambor (2009) 'Sexism, Ageism and Racism Prevalent Throughout the South Korean System of Education', United States of America – Department of Education – Educational Resources Information Center: ED506242 ). Eric.ed.gov. Retrieved on 2011-09-30.〕 and black American expatriates often are denied employment due to the color of their skin, a form of discrimination that is actually legal under South Korean law. 〔('"Dirty", "Pitch-Black Foreigner" Blunt Talking Leads to Contempt ). Seoul Broadcasting System. Retrieved on 2011-10-22.〕 The discrimination even extends to North Koreans living in South Korea, who are often mistreated at schools and denied employment due to their being from North Korea.〔(''Korea Times'' (2011) )〕 A South Korean soccer player from Japan even renounced his South Korean citizenship after being called a racist slur by a South Korean newspaper. People in South Korea who experience racism are often helpless to do anything about it, due to its being legal under South Korean law.〔('Denying Entry for Different Skin Color'... Bath House Racial Discrimination ). YTN. Retrieved on 2011-10-22.〕 Sometimes, when racist abuse is reported to police, the police themselves even engage in racist vitriol.〔〔〔('"National Human Rights Commission, Recommendation Measure for a Racial Discrimination Case for the First Time ). imaeil.com. Retrieved on 2011-10-22.〕 It took until 2011 for the South Korean government to formally take any official action against racism in the country, the first time it has done so in its history.〔
The heavily widespread nature of racism in South Korea has even led to the United Nations and the United States expressing concern over the matter.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UN panel faults Korean emphasis on homogeneity )〕 Despite the ubiquitous nature of South Korean racism, discrimination in South Korea is not just limited to racism and xenophobia. Sexism and ageism are also very prevalent, with preferential treatment being given to people who are male and older in age.〔
