Topic: how are
foreigners treated in Korea
Summary
It is easy to think of only examples of
multi-ethnic countries such as the U.S., but since Korea is a land of people, people
of various races continue to come and go, and other races such as African and
Nordic tribes, not just Northeast Asians, are already living or naturalized in
Korea. In the case of modern Korea, racism against people from the third world,
such as Africa, South America, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, is becoming a
serious social problem. Third-world countries have fallen out of the ranks of
advanced countries or into the poorest countries due to various factors such as
civil war for political and religious reasons, failure of domestic policies, or
stagnant growth due to an overly dependent economic structure on certain
factors. Therefore, people from these three world countries entered Korea with
the so-called "Korean Dream" as industrial trainees, low-skilled
factory workers, and construction workers, and until the early 2000s, people
thought they came to Korea to make money because of their poor skin color, so
it was never rare for them to ignore it openly or discriminate and despise it.
In addition, nationalism, which tends to be somewhat diluted compared to the
past, is still based on the public's consciousness until the 2010s, and in
addition, antipathy toward neighboring countries, which have conflicts between
the past and the present, is growing even more intense.
Interesting
There are never a few foreigners living in
Korea. But we discriminate against them. And the discrimination we receive in
foreign countries is very public. In other words, it is working that we are
fine but not foreign.
Discussion
What should be the priority for Koreans and
foreigners to live together? And what's the problem and how do we solve it?
Although it has changed from the past, Korea still has a lot to solve. Which
country has successfully done this?
