At a certain sporting event coming up, the event organizers decided to exclude women and non-Koreans (so its an event for Korean men, only).

They are such liars they said the reason was, "women and waygooks (and women waygooks) cannot participate because they are not safe". But this is a sport in which the only women or waygooks who even want to do it have years of experience at it whereas none of the Koreans has been doing it longer than 2 years.

I told this Italian woman I know, and she was like, "oh, I can understand them not letting expats do it -- they want a Korean to win -- but not letting women in is bad!".

It must have something to do with penises.

Women can't compete and Korean men don't want to be outgunned by foreign men. Cool

It's better to discriminate against only women because they make up a smaller percentage of the expat population. Quantitatively it is better to upset fewer people.
