Yaya...yes, Koreans speak Korean, but do all of the customers?

"Talent" isn't a grammatical error, it's konglish.

You didn't "simply refute" Len8, you called him down.

The point of asking "inane" questions (which you inspired) is to get answers, which you did. Do you always answer what you see as "inane" questions?

Have an LA day.

OK. Yaya. Kopos from Japan, China and other non western countries are treated badly in Korea. This might be very hard for you to take as it reflects badly on Korea, but for heaven sake man get your blinders off. Every country has it's short points, and unfortunately this is one of yours.

Even the Koreans here acknowledge the treatment of their own to-wards others of Korean descent not from Korea. The pretty ones from Russia though don't fare too badly.

Sure there are many Kyopos from the U.S. and Canada here, but deep down in their heart of hearts they know that their acceptance by their countrymen is only skin deep. And that hurts, so they will be in a state of denial till the cows come home.

Korea Ranks First in US Adoptee List
South Korea is still the largest single-country source of foreign-born adoptees to America, according to a report released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Korean adoptees account for 24 percent of internationally adopted children.

The number of Korean adoptees to the U.S. under the age of 18 stood at 48,000 as of Sept. 20, the bureau reported in its special edition published on the occasion of National Adoption Day on Nov. 20. The overall number of adoptees in the U.S. was around 2 million, with 257,792 being Asian-born. According to the previous report announced by the census bureau in 2000, the number of Korean-born adoptees of all ages was 56,825, also the largest portion among foreign-born adoptees. It was much larger than those of more-populated countries such as China (22,410), Russia (20,208) and Mexico (28,090).

Hey come on man. They only return for the money, and can't wait to get the hell out of here.

There are approximately 2 million ethnic Korean Chinese citizens, approximately 200,000 of them now live in South Korea. These Korean-Chinese were deliberately excluded from the "F" visa program when it was incepted. The majority have come over here on the recently overhauled "industrial trainee system" (60% of which went underground to become illegal workers within months of entering the country - as the law of the time required that they be payed far less than a "real" Korean for doing the same job).

There have been significant social problems involved with their integration into Korean society (my personal favourite is the law that was passed requiring that Korean nationals outnumber Korean-Chinese on fishing boats as a few too many abusive cabtins were thrown overboard).

Common complaints from those comming here for manual labor (the majority of whom are Chinese Koreans) include, the witholding or nonpayment of salaries, insulting, violence and even sexual abuse.

A new problem that is emerging (both in Korea and in China) is fake visa agencies / people smugglers. Taking money from these Korean Chinese and then abandoning them in South Korea with no job and no legal means to find employment.

Over the past several weeks I have met over a hunded migrant workers here - many of whom where Chinese Korean (see my previous thread where I asked for advice about finding them). Trust me, it may be a generalization but, we English teachers are treated a lot better by Korean sociey than the majority of Kyopos.
