extra) How are foreigners treated in Korea?

Since Korea is the one- blooded ethnic, there are undeniable discrimination toward foreigners. For example, children and teenagers would call black people in the street ‘Big brother.’ It may sound like a nice word but can be a race insult to them. Another example is that we call Chinese people ‘jjangae’, which clearly has an offensive intent. I don’t think Korean are openly rude to foreigners and most people try to be kind when they ask for something, but the unintentional words and behaviors that separate them from us is a problem. We are doing great in language adjusting and basic manners, so I want to see Korea more sensitively reflect on our unconscious expressions.
