To be fair to Dave's, this job ad was posted on another popular Korean ESL Job Website.

I fully agree with you. Korea has a LONG way to go in terms of understanding racial/cultural differences... Koreans have no idea of what thinking "globally" really means..

Korea should stop claiming it's the "hub of Asia"... It can't get over it's own inferiority complex to white people..

Battling racism in Korea is a tough job for sure but I don't think it starts by suggesting that Koreans are this or Koreans are that ~ such an approach is hypocritical at best. We've managed to convince the admin of our school that a diverse staff is good thing for the kids and now we hire based on the principle of maximum diversity and cultural exposure. Change is possible, even in Korea, but it takes determination and a measure of diplomacy rather then invectives and too many exclamation marks.

Witty, quite the comedian jeffu. This is a forum, i'm replying to what the guy asked, is their anything wrong with this ad.

I'm not caucasian, this ad pisssed me off so i expressed it.

I'm not out to change anything in this country, maybe i'm wrong here but i can't really see the point in smashing my head repeatedly against immovable objects.

Had you read what i wrote with a little perspective you would have gathered that i was pretty annoyed that these types of job ad's can be posted.

Instead, you deliver some smart ass reponse looking to big up yourself.

Goodone.

If you mean you have a quota of black, asian, whatever people, that is just as wrong. There really should be no pictures, and if it happens everyone that is hired based on credentials is white, not a problem. If they are all green, whatever. But if I understand that sentence right (and I could be wrong), your solution is just as wrong as the current whitie only club.

You may not be caucasian but you certainly come off as a bigot.

Bigotry comes in all colours, including whichever one rawiri is.

Yeah, i'm bigotted against individuals who would go out of their way to specify a color preference in a job posting in 2006.

In fact id go so far as to say that the only fair treatment of such individuals would be to treat them like the klan did back in the day, lets string em up and have a good old public lynching.

So you need a black sheet instead of a white one.

Same *beep* different pile.

I think we should have rainbow colored sheets and HANG all the BIGOTS. Certainly sounds like a better plan.
