there are bars in my home town (st.louis) that won't serve whites. oh, you can go in and sit down but service never comes around and the bartender doesn't see you.

very effective technique of maintaining the right mix of customers.

foreigners in korea DONT! they just cry about it on DAVES... that wont get laws passed.

The most effective/visible way of showing our displeasure--protesting--has been taken away from us. It's hard to rally others to a cause when we're not even allowed to gather in public like that.

Foreigners aren't allowed to protest on the sidewalk like Koreans can? There's a law preventing protests by foreigners?

Foreigners are not allowed by law to protest. It is a deportable offense.

Just to be pedantic, I think foreigners are allowed to protest as long as it's not a foreigner issue that is being protested by an organized group of foreigners. If I'm wrong, KiwiDuncan could be on the next plane home...

protests are political activities and participating in political activites is one of the things prohibited on E2 visas (don't know about other visas)

I suppose if your employer is not paying you your flight back home a bunch of guys could sign up, so they could get deported. I am joking, of course. It will take time for Korea to open up much more than it is right now, fellows. I, imagine, with more mixed marriages, and the like things will gradually change, but we will long be gone by that. Korea is resisting change, but it is inevitable. I have less of a problem with Korean only clubs in Korea than with ones say in the Phillipines or Thailand. That seems arrogant in a way. Maybe, in their mindset it is not, and they simply view it as the others would ruin the atmosophere, but I am sure whites who didn't want blacks in their country clubs felt the same way in the 1960s and 1970s.
