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."

I'm sure they'll quit no that the UN wrote them a letter. |

| America was mostly a white nation and it became the most powerful nation on earth. Japan is also mainly one ethnic group and has become the second largest economy. Sorry, but the idea that multiculturalism and multiracialism will lead to "Hub" korea is not logical. |

Korea is not isolated and it's never been an isolated island. That's just South Korean and US government propaganda. |

"Mostly" being a vary different word to each person. America might be mostly white to you... but not to me.
Homogeniality in Korea is on level never seen in America. |

Since 1945, if you wanted to travel from South Korea to China or Russia, you could not do so by land. Thus is is effectively an island, as you cannot travel across the DMZ. |

The difference seems to be location, size and a bit of luck.
If God suddenly put up huge walls between each country that we could not pass, what would happen?..The more turmoil, the more international/global. |

All white people are not of the same ethnic group. Ask any qualified neo-nazi. 
America's huge advantage over Korea is that we will accept just about anybody and it creates a brain-drain. Anybody can become an American. It keeps America fresh with new ideas, new labor, and new talent. Nobody can become KOREAN(nobody wants to either). American engineers and doctors don't flock to Korea, it's the other way around. Korea can ony rely on Korean talent and much of it goes overseas. That's why we have Michelle Wie and Heinz Ward. And now that we have Beckham. The World is ours.
And I'd also say that a big reason America became powerful was because of geography and resources. |

| My point is that ALL WHITE is not the same as being 1 ethnicity which is what Korea is. |

As far as Japan and their economic growth is concerned, you might want to talk to some Korean War vets for their opinon on the topic. Most will tell you that the U.S. had a lot to do with the development of the Japanese industrial complex as it was an integral part of the Korean War. |

Did America and Japan not also became world leading economies due to the fact they were willing to trade with other countries?
While Korea remained one of the poorest countries in Asia due to the fact they refused to engage in trade with other countries?
Are the true "pure blood" Koreans not starving to death and suffering floods?
No man is an island.
Fortunately alot of the younger generation realizes what a crock the idea of "pure blood" really is. |

| More UN propaganda to destroy ethnic + cultural heritage. Why don't they ask Israel to be more multicultural by welcoming their neighbors? |
