Just switch the roles, and image the outcry on Daves if this happened in Korea to a waygook family out for a stroll.

Pre-teen females attack
By Rochelle Baker - Abbotsford News
Published: July 21, 2008 6:00 PM A group of pre-teen girls terrorized a family and burned another man with a cigarette in a pair of racially-charged attacks over the weekend in Mission.
Mission RCMP got a call about a group of drunk girls in an altercation with a family in the 7600 block of Eider Street around 9 p.m. Friday, said RCMP Insp. Dave Walsh.
Officers attended the area and located an adult man of South Asian descent who said a group of girls swarmed and accosted him, burning the back of his head with a cigarette.
Police found and arrested two of the girls and took them home to their parents.
It turned out it was the second such attack that night. Officers returned to the detachment to work on the file, and realized the name of the victim they had talked with didn�t match that of the original complainant.
It became clear two attacks occurred in the same neighbourhood close to the same time, said Walsh.
A couple and their three young children were out for a walk when a group of girls aged 12 and 13 years old confronted them and blocked their path.
The parents sent the kids home, and a scuffle ensued with at least one of the girls involved hitting the husband, who is also of South Asian descent, in the head.
The hate crime unit is involved in the investigation because of racial slurs made during the attacks, he said. The two girls arrested are facing liquor charges, and it will be up to Crown to determine what other charges may follow.
The girls could be subject to a range of outcomes such as community service, probation or participation in a restorative justice process.
The swarming incidents were the result of drunk underage females looking for trouble, said Walsh.
The fact the attacks appear to be racially motivated �speaks to very poor judgment on the part of those girls,� he said.
Police are concerned when kids that young are roaming around, he said.
�I like to think parents have better idea of where their 12 year old is on a Friday night,� he said.
�Parents can trust their kids, but it might be naive not to confirm where their kids say they�re going to be.�
�Even the best kids may try to trick their parents.� |

| Are you saying that Korea has a problem with girl gangs, Paddycakes? And that this could happen to foreigners/expats there too? |

Korea has a problem with getting into uncontrollable nationalist frenzies whenever they see crimes by 'foreigners' whether real or perceived. Japan and the US seemingly get most of their ire, but they have been known to show nasty looks towards China, the UK and Europe and even Canada from time to time. |

As in vigilantism and lynch mobs? By 12-yo girls?
Isn't this the reason that education is such a phenoma in Korea? Keeping kids busy with school work/learning to keep them out of these troubles that can pollute their lives?
Or is there an underbelly to the competitiveness where some students are slipping thru the cracks and not in the constant study mode? Slackers, if you will?
What is making CHILDREN in the OP turn into mean drunks--as opposed to what most kids do... experiment for shits and giggles? <emphasis on giggles |

The article mentions the possibility of racially-motivated attacks, Visitorq, so it would be profoundly odd if the perpetrators were also East Asian.
Anyway, what absolutely heinous vermin. The crime speaks volumes about the respective cultures of the two racial groups in question. Anyone remember the vid about those disgustingly ugly New Zealand women harassing East Asians? Such incidents perhaps make me look less unfavorably towards Shariah Law making an appearance in the West. |

No...
A recurring theme on Daves is that waygooks are subject to racism on a daily basis (which is bullocks) and that if only Koreans were more like 'westerners' all would be happy. |

A couple of years ago me and a few of my Pacific Island mates from Central Auckland had a broken bottle fight with a group of fake-American accented Somali immigrants from Mt. Roskill outside a Spanish-themed bar packed to the hilt with Brazilian students and recent Chinese arrivals.
Multiculturalism, BABY!  |

| I've spent some time in that city. It has a huge white trash population. This nonsense doesn't surprise me. However, the paper didn't explicitly say the girls were white, which is totally out of character for a Canadian paper. This suggests that the girls may have been from a minority group too. But as I said, I would not in any way be surprised if this was the work of white Canadian hillbillies. In reality, it is irrelevant to the absurdity of the story. 12 year old drunk females behaving like that suggests something is seriously wrong in that city, regardless of what group they are from. How in the hell do parents not know their 12 year old is out getting trashed on a weeknight? |

The west is less racist in terms of attitudes held by the majority, but a racist minority cause more actual violent incidents.
Korea is more racist in terms of attitudes privately held by the majority. But it has fewer violent racist incidents.
Pick which one you prefer. |
