Take a gander at this news story that is linked from the BBC website: www.bbc.co.uk
A South Korean medic exposed to Ebola has been flown to Berlin and their identity kept a secret. This is from www.dw.de/potential-ebola-case-being-monitored-in-berlin
As those of us familiar with the attitudes prevalent in South Korea know, the point of this would have been to make sure that foreigners do any dirty work connected with Ebola and the possibility of infection. South Koreans are apparently 'superior' but they want foreigners to take responsibility when they find the going gets tough.
The official excuse would be that they can't look after an Ebola case in South Korea but we all know that this is the Korean nightmare - a dirty disease from dirty foreigners entering the South Korean homeland.
I remember full well the absolutely hysterical and offensive to foreigners overreaction to swine flu when I worked in Korea, even more offensive for the fact that Koreans swapping saliva on chopsticks regularly and not washing their hands or covering their mouths coughing and sneezing were well enough to spread 'swine flu' without demonising foreigners.
So you can imagine the reaction at official level when they heard about the South Korean medic. South Korea has hospitals that can treat Ebola just as hospitals that have never had cases before in the USA and UK have done so but of course South Korea is 'exceptional'.
If you can't get the story from my link, go to the bbc website and type in 'South Korean exposed to Ebola treated in Germany'. Or go to www.dw.de |
Can almost smell your hatred for Koreans through the computer screen it's so potent. |
You're a drama queen, sunshine.
I have no respect for the idiotic and offensive xenophobia that is still a big part of South Korean society and like many other foreigners I personally was affected by it during the 'swine flu' hysteria, and the 'crazy cow' hysteria. And we can add the whole HIV comes from foreigners rubbish to that.
Some of my black friends still in Korea experienced bigotry because of the Ebola outbreak elsewhere and all but one do not come from the countries affected. And in his case he hasn't been there for over 4 years.
South Korean society still has a lot of growing up to do in these matters and regardless of explanations for why the Sth Korean couldn'be be brought back because of govt directives, the whole Ebola issue is the society's worst nightmare mixes.
Just think, Ebola encompasses foreigners, black foreigners in particular, Africa, nasty outside forces threatening the exceptional nation of Koreans from one ancestry (as if!) etc. It was bad enough with swine flu, I dread to think of how the society would react if somebody with Ebola actually will be found residing in South Korea in the future let alone more than one. |

 Yeah, that's right, when somebody can rationalise and assess that's a 'rant' because it's a threat to a lazy, less than bright person like you who can't formulate any real answer. Looks like that kiddy hagwon is the right place for you. |

It's not me obsessed with videos of people with no connection to me whatsoever. No, I didn't look at whatever was posted but I am glad you have time to. |
