Koreans are scum - that's the bottom line. Hopefully North Korea will go apeshit soon and wipe this annoying little ethnic group off the face of the planet.

It's racist and it's wrong, but if you were a Korean bar owner and you had whites routinely come in already hammered, about a 4-1 guy-girl ratio, never order anju and only buy the cheapest draught beer, start fights with each other and act like loud, obnoxious pricks, wouldn't you want to do something like this if you could get away with it?

There are bars in Canada, and I assume the US, where non-whites are restricted from entering. You just never noticed because you're all white.

Yeah Son Deureo! is saying exactly what I thought about when reading the OP -- the just didn't want your stupid drunk monkey ass up in there annoying the hell out of everyone.

I personally don't have a problem with places that have no foreigner policies. It's called free market capitalism. It's an ideal I was raised to espouse. Sissies who want to run to the government crying for vengeance because a club won't let them in are commies and should be forced to move to the Shitipinos.

Club doesn't want me? I don't want it! It's that simple. And yes it happened once, in Daejeon, when I was wandering around alone and dressed like a scrub. Couldn't imagine why they turned me down!

I remember a time or two in the US, trying to score a bag off some black dudes in the ghetto and got rejected a few times for being white. Why, I tell you, I ran straight to the police to report the racial discrimination!

Man I can't believe I even bothered to replying to you in the Kore sucks thread. If I had only read this first and realsied how immature and arrogant you were, I would have saved the wear on my fingertips.

So you have nothing better to do with your time than being rude and arguing with people on the interent, when they are mostly trying to stimulte a sensible debate and you just want to project your personality. That how your folks raised you? Donlt you find it boring and pointless...? Do you know people that will socialise with you outside of where ever it is you have your computer...?

Actually, just to clear the air here. I wasn't being belligerent when arrived or was denied entrance. After asking for an explanation....why, why? We can pay to no avail and no explanation and getting in the taxi.

Clearly, it is a widespread policy among Koreans from the posts on the board. Did I need to call dude an arshole...no probably not but, heh what do I care. Just another of the millions of things that are bizarre about this country. Still not first world. I don't have to like it and who said I had to be nice anyhow. And in the end, it's really Korea's problem, not mine.

Venus, who is "you"? The poster before your post? A different poster? Everyone on this thread?

EDIT: I guess you meant Qin.

I'd have to agree with most of the posters... in my experience, it's just a safety measure to weed out belligerents and undesirables. In most cases, if you just talk to them a bit or mention that you plan to buy drinks and food (a big contention about foreigners neglecting by the way) you're okay and you can walk in.

But yeah you do meet the occasional spicy-gouchoed ( ) 항문 bouncer or manager. But there are so many other good places to visit, you shouldn't let it ruin your evening.

[quote="flotsam"][quote="CabbageTownRoyals"]There is a bar in HongDae, some 80's style music place, but I don't know the name. Anyway, I went in there, alone and SOBER, just checking it out while I was waiting for my friends.

A korean bar girl came right up to me, said, "no foreigners here"
I was so shocked. I asked to see the manager, who was also female. She could see that I was put-out and after much Konglish and poor explaining, she tried to take me to a table.

I quickly told her it was blatant racism and there was no excuse since I was respectable, sober and a single female!!! I absolutely didn't want to drink there after that, and I told her that I would be sure to give the place an honest and negative write up in the local paper. (never did, but am temped to).


Flotsam, using your logic, then it is okay for French Canadians in Quebec to refuse entry to those of African descent. This happened recently. Could one say because someone with African ancestry may cause trouble because in some cases it has happened, that it should be okay to ban someone of that complexion? No, that would be viewed as racism because there are also Caucasians who do the same. Most of the foreigners I know are quite civil. You may have your occasional unruly American soldier, soccer type hooligan who got a teaching position etc... However, this does not apply to the vast majority of foreigners. I am sure many people have seen plenty of Koreans go ballistic after imbibing soju. Your justifying of this behaviour is like justifying Caucasians not admitting Asians or African Americans for whatever reason they want to conjure up.
