In my opinion, it's a nice for Koreans to be open minded about other cultures and people but I think that it might affect Korea in a negative way? I mean, they open up to more cultures, different people and will lose a Korean community feeling, maybe the foreigners will not respect the Korean culture, it may force more Koreans to know English, it may not feel as safe and it might cause arguments and all sorts of problems etc.
Don't Korean people look down on the multicultural marriage? Like if a American, British... (I don't know if I wanted to say "white") dates or marries a Korean girl etc. |
Seems a bit troll-ish and possible with a couple of basic English errors possibly not a native English speaker.
But anyway, here is my opinion:
Korean culture will need to adapt. Not just because of an increase in foreigners, but because of the demands within Korea. Young people, women, married couples - many people want change in Korea. Maybe that's the influence of being exposed to different cultures but maybe that's a good thing. Right now I see Korea making attempts to incorporate mixed race children into Korean society. This won't happen overnight but it's in Korea's best interests to make sure these kids feel part of Korean society to avoid these children feeling disenfranchised. |
I see a lot of positive changes happening and every year its slightly different.
The younger generation is very different to the older one. More optimistic and more curious about the outside world.
The anti-foreignerism has reduced too, compared to what it was ten years back. |
How about 5 years back? They actually sit next to me on the bus now. |

Probably either Itaewon-HBC or some sort of docky-navaly type area in Busan or Incheon.
Maybe some random rural stretch with 500 SE Asian brides per square meter. Or some factory where 2000 Sri Lankans are toiling under the capitalist whip. |

I've heard that Ulsan has the highest concentration of foreigners, and not just 3D workers since Hyundai Group hires many consultants from abroad. |

My young daughter and I represent the largest amount of dual citizens with foreign citizenship in our immediate family, does that count? |

| Nice to see the Dave's crowd growing in the knowledge that "foreigners" in Korea likely means 3D workers, foreign brides, or Russian sailors. Before people would assume foreign basically meant white and English speaking. |
