First of all, take a look at the Japanese subway map. They don't even have it in English.

there's a big difference between official and cultural 'norms,' things like legislation, custom, etc., and social norms. Brazil isn't kind to its workers, and certainly exploits illegal foreign workers, but it does have lots of friendly people who like foreigners (nice laaadies). In fact, a lot of times the official and unofficial attitudes are polar opposites. Whitey Go Home may be the motto of the bourgeoisie, and the ruling elite, but often is the opposite of what the working class feels. Especially for a girl from the lower classes in more classist countries, open-minded foreigners offer an opportunity to trade-up, in a sense. Also, they are exotic entities, a foreign delicacy (and of course, Hollywood and MTV have been paving the way for them). For this reason, along with other historical biases, the ruling patriarchy sees them as foreign devils.

by the way, what was meant by 'undesirables'? did they target specific people, and was it limited to Seoul? it doesn't make a lick of difference how much work experience one has, or any of that?
