I think it's important to know the year these pictures were printed. Otherwise they are pretty meaningless and not very constructive. Times change and so does Korea.

Agreed. I don't think anyone would deny that racism existed in Korea in the past or that it exists today in the country. But it's probably fair to say that the country as a whole has been increasingly more accepting of foreigners and hopefully that will be a trend to continue.

It's one thing to point out that there's a fire. It's another thing entirely to start a fire for the purpose of pointing it out.

Those dictionary extracts, based on the illustrations, look pretty aged.

Indeed.

If all of these hate images are legit, how hard would it be to attach a reference? A book title or a link? Otherwise it's not very difficult to draw something up on a desktop art publisher and save it as a .jpg to upload and claim as authentic.

I don't know if this is hateful, maybe just extremely silly, but I found it on a package of condoms in a department store two years ago.
