Pulcat 57 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just saw the comments on Sooyoung that she looks like a South East Asian. And the tone of those comments sounds kinda weird. I already know that there is a Stigma in Korea about South East Asians. But i still don't know what's the REAL REASON behind it. Like what do they usually think?

Beenzelo 84 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Some of them look down on people with dark skin. I'm not saying all koreans but majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlander 161 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 "in four Southeast Asians living in South Korea has experienced discrimination, more than triple the corresponding figure for foreigners from OECD countries, according to a poll released on Tuesday. According to the survey conducted by the Seoul Development Institute (SDI) on 333 foreign nationals living in the capital, 25.9 percent of Southeast Asian immigrants have faced discrimination, compared to 8.2 percent of foreigners from OECD nations, including the U.S., Japan and countries in Europe. [Yonhap]" I am Fil-Chi in descent, and there are many Koreans living in my city. Koreans tend to stick to themselves and do look down on Filipinos, especially those of pure Philippine descent. Not all, of course. Koreans here do not treat us with the same amount of respect as they do each other. I don't know why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Killing Time 89 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Filipinos are the best looking Asians so I'm surprised... I'm excluding them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berserker46 61 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They are quite xenophobic. Thats the gist. Except if you are white, then it's something else entirely. Ofc, i have Korean friends and know there are Koreans who just dont care about stuff like this. Im just saying as a generalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnylol 244 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 because they think that SEA countries are low and belongs to 3rd world country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Suk Jin 156 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Maybe it's because of the skin colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Substation 1,388 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Many Koreans who move to SEA aren't exactly the cream of the crop. A lot of them move there to escape from something at home. And then, there is a certain degree of social hierarchy and classism within Korean society and many foreign manual laborers in Korea tend to be South East Asians. Discrimination or prejudice also exists among South East Asians. For example, some Thais tend to look down on Laos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJJ 2,139 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I don’t really understand questions like these because at the end of the day it's all generalizations that aren't always true. Everyone is an individual and will have their own opinions. Just like there will be prejudice (as it exists everywhere) there also won't be. It depends on the person.

For example my country Singapore who is the strongest economically in SEA and most of the domestic workers come from countries like Indonesia and Philippines.; and I know there's discrimination on that part...

make0rbre4k 68 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That is why i look down on human beings. We all are foolish creatures who do things according to what is engraved into our mind or heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 154 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Asian on Asian hate all over the place yo! Like Russell Peters says in his jokes. Asians can be spiteful towards another. Koreans tend to be very 'salty' and stick to themselves. You do kind of notice that a bit when you see Koreans outside of Korea. Asians in general are a bit like that. With chinatown, little saigon, koreatown, etc. American-Born i don't think is a problem. but Korean borns, I don't know. They aren't fond of bi-racial kids, I can't imagine being Vietnamese is any better... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
