The banner reads, "Hines Ward turns the American Dream into reality." The half-Korean athlete, who grew up with a struggling single mother in Atlanta, Georgia has become a major story in the Korean press after he was named Most Valuable Player in the U.S. Super Bowl. One of the construction workers asks himself, "I wonder what would have become of Hines if he had stayed in Korea."

At the bottom of the picture, two mixed-race Koreans, who are often treated as outsiders here, are struggling under their load of bricks.


Then there's this:

The priceless part:

According to a support group of mixed blood people, about 35,000 such people are living in Korea, but there is no accurate figure. This is an example of Korea's indifference to these people.
Until now, we have overly emphasized the significance of our homogeneous society and have had too much pride about our pure blood tradition. But that does not mean much in this era of globalization.
Discrimination against mixed blood people is destined to bring about problems in our society. Mixed blood children often become outsiders at schools. Foreign mothers who are not fluent in Korean have difficulty helping their children study. After being pushed out from Korea's education system, mixed blood people will be stuck in a vicious cycle of unemployment and poverty. As this population grows, they will become the cause of social conflicts and we will have to face undesirable troubles.
It is time to establish a cultural foundation on which Korean children and mixed blood children will be able to mingle naturally.
