Meeting in Geneva from July 30 until Aug. 17, the 71st UNCERD reviewed national reports on Costa Rica, New Zealand, Mozambique, Indonesia, and South Korea and released recommendations for them. On Aug. 9-10, it looked into reports submitted by the South Korean government. In the recommendations, UNCERD expressed discomfort about a prevalent notion in Korean culture of "pure-bloodedness," saying, "The whole concept came very close to ideas of racial superiority."

That is just typical westerners forcing their views onto Koreans and trying to ruin their culture> 
Of course Korean blood is pure. How could anyone argue that is isn't?? |

One can't argue that a Korean is pure blooded Korean, but a person who isn't of Korean blood or half Korean blood should not be subject to certain restrictions just because of that fact, or someone believing themself to be better / perfect than those of mixed / unrelated heritage. |

Wow, that's very noble and modern thinking. Did you come up with that yourself? |

| Yeah, this is a problem, but a lot of Koreans I talk to realise that they are descended from Mongols. The problem is that some of them also believe that they are the rightful owners of China. I just wish the whole racial/blood issues would die down among all country, but I'm sure it will in time. That is one admitted benefit of integration and globalisation. |

And then you go to the UN with a report that calls from the rooftops about your "pure blood". What will it take for some people to realise this place is stuck in the dark ages? |

Dark ages? Go to a supposedly developed country like England and you will see many people believing that true English (or British) people have a pure blood or whatever. The sad fact is that there are people like this in many countries across the world. |

| Here come the Mosques, Mosques glorious Mosques!!! Simon Mol is out of job in Poland, he can phoney his documents again and set up shop here and Aids infect even more college students while lecturing everyone about racism. And The Mexicans! We need to make Korea a *itch for failed misreable places and then get all their money. Why bother with Sudan. Its a fly ridden stink hole. Korea on the other hand, nice cars here, "fine women", good internet. Its a great place to loot. |

Using the example of England to exhonorate Korean racism is like saying that being addicted to crack isnt bad because somewhere out there, people are still addicted to cocaine. |

The UK government would not turn up to the UN with a report squealing about the nation having pure blood. Au contraire, it would probably celebrate diversity. No such thing here. Sure plenty of citizens think that white is the only colour for a true Englishman, but they are generally BNP members who are opposed by most sectors of the normal political spectrum. Here its the default position for left and right. |

I wasn't exhonorating Korean racism. I was merely making the point that saying Korea is in the "dark ages" because of this is missing the point. Many countries, including the likes of England, have this kind of problem. And you don't have to be a BNP supporter to believe in this kind of thing - from my experience of living in England, far more believe it than are willing to admit it due to the dangers of doing so.
