Do you respect Koreans and Korean culture before you claim to "fight" against "racism?"

seems like so called "teachers" have not much to talk about but to bash korea and talk about korean women...

ironic... you hate korea but you like korean women... even on worknplay.com and places like that "Hi im so and so I'm looking for a lovely korean gf to spend time during weekend, my number is ... my email is..."

lol

Of course he is. Isn't "James" the most common fake name used by that demographic? And "teacho" with the additional ㅓ is just too precious!

If that was the case, I'd be in American brothels.



Back on track: My hopes is that the site, and the "Gusts of popular feeling" site, get recognition in the coming months or years by international media. I would also like to see Korea's weak standards of rape and child abuse reported internationally.

I think this article pretty sums up what I think.

However, I still think a lot of foreigners do get drunk too much, are too sexually crazed to be teachers (kind of my own personal opinion), drug users, and a lot not qualified.

But this article has some very good points, especially the hate for Korea spreading.

As a Korean with mostly foreign friends, I would like to help you guys out. I don't watch the news as I know it's mostly lies or half-truths, but I know what kind of effect it has on the general public.

No, Kyopos speak perfectly natural english. L1 usage that aint. This guy's probably a sex starved Uni student feeling bitter after seeing some girl chating to a whitey.

Anyway thanks OP, a good find.
