Stick to your dictionary, language boy, and leave the socialogical issues to professionals. When anyone discusses another human being and uses only a racial identifier to discuss the human being, this is an example of racism. |
Well then I have some bad news for you, your definition sucks unless you think these travel brochures are all examples of racism.
Why not try out your weak definition of racism by putting it in the Wikipedia article and see how long it lasts? "Racism is when anyone discusses another human being and uses only a racial identifier to discuss the human being." That'll do fine. Somehow I doubt you believe in your own definition enough to add it to the article. Just click on this link, copy and paste and then hit save.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Racism&action=edit§ion=1
Unless it's good enough to survive peer review in an article you don't control, there's no reason for anyone to follow along with your personal definition of racism.
Now for a much better definition of racism:
| Quote: |
"is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage � the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors."

if you were a professional 'socialogist' you might be able to spell the word...
anyway 'language boy' is one of the most consistently interesting posters on this board (and created the racing girl thread thingy), which is more than can be said for some.. |

Actually, to solve a problem, the problem must first be identified. To begin to work on the foreign hate prevalent in this society, Korean people should recognize that 1) they, in general, have this contempt of things and people foreign and 2) this contempt is, in and of itself, inherently disgusting and reprehensible.
Only if/when this happens, can this society allow people from other countries to access Korean websites, go to businesses from which they are, as a class, currently banned, or even smaller things like sign up for mobile phone service without a citizen "minder," among the numerous other repugnant, racist activities and attitudes against foreing people that go on here. |
Yeah. So you have a beef with the mobile phone industry in Korea. Gotcha.
Personally, I don't think that 'they, in general, have this contempt of things and people foreign', nor did that video specifically indicate such a thing.

Nah. That song was so clownish, that it just had to be written here in Korea, possibly authored by a North Korean agent named Kim. I'd have to ask Hater Depot about that. |
