I guess we need a racism machine.
As you pass through the airport, it makes beeping noises, the louder, the more racist.
Beaver walks through the racism sensor......almost silent. 1 or 2 tiny pings. (I'm just guessing)
I walk through. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP it's deafening. Sorry dude, no Korea for you. You're just too racist.
A group of ajosshis walk through. The windows shatter. |

A group of "apologists" walk through. One tiny ping is heard.
A group of "whiners" walk through. The machine blows up.

| You aren't counting the racism against their own kind. |

That's the point; I expect to find racist back home, not in a community of educated people living abroad. |
Educated? is that what you call them!
mate most of the foreigners here are a bunch of door knobs!!
you taken alook around Itaewon or hongdae? well those are your so called educated foreigners living abroad! bunch of monkys with a piece of paper(diploma) in their hand if you ask me! |
I turned up a surprising number of these:
I wish we had real monkeys with paper over here. I love monkeys. |
These are points that should not be overlooked, amid all the fisticuffs in this thread. There is clearly a monkey problem in the ESL community here, yet everyone is too busy fighting about prejudicial comments.
I saw this guy at Gecko's last week, and I had to listen to why he feels his mindless tripe deserves to be listened to and respected, because he's been here for 7 years, blah-blah, the usual long-timer BS:
I saw this guy mauling a cat near Children's Grand Park Station
And this joker was right out front of US 66 in Hongdae only two nights ago.
Once we get all these monkeys out of the industry, then, ok, let's get busy with trying to dig up and catch each other contradicting ourselves in archived posts about bigotry and prejudice. |

Racism is a natural feeling. It comes from the basic feeling of our group is better than the other group. It is idiotic to think that anyone is not racist because studies have shown that the racism can be brought to the surface easily.
Every single person has the capacity to be racist because it is hard-wired into them. It is natural and fine as long as the person doesn't act on those feeling. People are taught that it is wrong and evil but it isn't and we just need to accept those things about ourselves and try to be careful of what we do.
Everyone is a racist under the right circumstances. |

I don't agree that it's hard wired ie genetic. I think it's learned behaviour. Babies are not racist, they will play with other babies of another color without thinking about it until about the age of two or three. A white baby brought up entirely within a black comunity will fit right in and be quite happy unil they reach about 5 or 6 and the kids start teasing it.
Racism is entirely our own creation, and it's up to us to get over it. |

It's bigger than racism-- I think we're very much inclined toward tribalism. It's an evolutionary adaptation, if you like. I think we all have the urge to join a group and prove that our group is the best. Sports fanaticism, patriotism, snobbery... they are rather ugly forms of this tendency to identify with a group and compete. |
