Korean Job Discussion Forums

[Unposter]

I haven't read the whole thread, so all apologies, but I do feel like adding my own experiences to this thread.

While I agree with SR that many non-Koreans don't understand or have limited understanding of the general rules of clubs and socializing in Korea, that has not been my experience with "No Foreigner" places in Korea. (And, despite most people's lack of understanding, most find ways to have fun and not upset too many people anyway.)

My experience has been that the places who have had "No Foreigner" signs, it was usually to having a bad or bad experiences with non-Koreans fighting. It may have been a number of incidents or a single incident but the management decides they cannot deal with it and it is easier to just put up the sign.

-Or- it had to do with the incident of the American military tank that ran over those two girls.

But, again from personal experience, as much as I am intellectually prepared for, "hey we can always go spend our money someplace else," it always stings. It really does leave a bad taste, at least, in my mouth, if not others.

I even remember at one restaurant, after the tank incident, a waiter, somewhat apologetically, explaining that my wife could come in but I could not.

Discrimination, for whatever reason, IMHO, is not right and should not be tolerated.

And, by the way, there have been a number of places, usually in Itaewon, the old Nashville comes to mind, that used to have no Korean signs - though usually accompanied Koreans, often female, seemed to be okay.

Just my personal experience, please take it for whatever it is worth.

I don't go to bars. The only places I have been refused were at two medical clinics this year and a grocery store several years ago. The grocery store doesn't refuse whites, however, since they motioned my co-worker in line behind me to come around me to have his food rang up. Doctors at both clinics explained in a polite manner that they were for Koreans only, but the guy at the grocery store and his mother were just really rude.

SR is now saying he never claimed to be a pilot in much the same way he backtracked from the racism claim once people pointed out he's claimed to be ethnically Korean in the past. Like I said, whatever works at the particular time. People can look up the threads if they want to get a better understanding. TBH, I don't know if SR claimed to be a licensed pilot, but he did claim many times to be an authority on piloting and airliners. Just like he claimed to suddenly be an expert on maritime navigation about a month ago.

And if you agree with George W Bush about the UN being ineffectual then maybe you don't support all his decisions. But if you support his lying to Congress about WMDs in order to start a war in Iraq for oil profits while defunding the military and bankrupting the country, yes I think it's safe to say you support him.

If you say that you wouldn't expect the captain to be sailing the ship the entire time on a 36 hour trip, I don't think you're defending his actions. But if you repeatedly, over multiple threads, defend his decisions to order the children to stay in their rooms while he got himself off the ship by lying to rescue boats, and then lying about what happened while he dried out his money on his hospital bed? Yeah, I think it's safe to say you're defending the indefensible and you should be ashamed of yourself. But shame isn't part of a narcissist's vocabulary.

Does SR really align himself with the Sewol captain? I don't know. The point is he will make any topic here about him and only him. He repeatedly tells people that they've misinterpreted situations he knows nothing about. As stated, he makes grand claims of expertise and experience for whatever the particular situation calls for. He will insist that his interpretation of a subjective article or event is factually, scientifically accurate while you are incredibly biased. Eventually he will call you racist if you stick with it long enough, and to him that should end the conversation because he is a god and declared your views irrelevant. The basic fact of any thought process by SR is:

Korean = GOOD!
Foreigner = BAD!

That's all you really need to know about his "arguments".

I'm trying not to direct this at the person in question in order to avoid him derailing another thread. I'm just getting the truth about him out there. Don't take anything he says on here seriously. He's an elaborate troll. A troll who has successfully shut down half the conversations on this site over the last few years.

Mr. Black Cat, were you by any chance a journeyman carpenter? Your above post certainly hits the nail on the head.

May I pile on in the unlikely hope that it will encourage SR to stop his ludicrous spamming? Mmk. To be consistently called out and proven as ethnically biased, and yet still continue on for years, unable to accept what are fairly obvious truths, is sheer lunacy. Enough, please, my gawd. It's like the fucking twilight zone. Popular opinion isn't always correct but when you're always the odd one out, it's on you to figure out why, not continue to do the same thing over and over. I support atwood's shadow tactic, as nothing else seems to work.

There are much crazier sounding freaks on here, though. Like the guava guy. Dude sounds like he'd try to stab you with a pen if you interrupted his game of call of duty.

Fvck... where did this come from? Don't be like this... I'm all for calling out on BS but I don't recall SR claiming to be an authority on anything in this thread, so I don't think he deserves that response (at least not here, as I know the same points have been made in threads concerning SR and aviation/Sewol etc).

I understand you want others to become aware of his 'tactics' but that was brutal. All I can think is that he must've really p!ssed off some folk on here.

Y'all be reminding me of those situations where you’re like “I need to stop hating this particular person it’s not going to get me anywhere I’m just going to grow up and move on with my life” but then they do the tiniest thing to p!ss you off and then you’re like “nope fvck you right off I want to throw you off a bridge”.

Damn... we were so close to getting back on topic too haha!
