    As a Black Woman I visited Seoul in 2019' before the pandemic broke out!! And I will say this I've never been treated more Better By Koreans then anything else!! I went over to celebrate my Birthday and I was treated like a Princess there!! Everyone I came in contact with was so kind to me that I never felt such Great Hospitality from any other Race!! Naturally I can't speak for everyone else but the Koreans I meet while I was there to this day we're still in contact with each other!! So I say that to say this I made so pretty cool friends over there!!Much Love Korea 🇰🇷❤🇺🇲❤

    I’m fully black and was born in Seoul, South Korea and left when I was 11 months old. My mom tells me stories of how kind and loving Korean people were towards us and my babysitters were in love with me. I’ve worked for two different Korean families in America. They all treated me kindly and like family, especially when they found out Korea is my birthplace. I couldn’t help but notice the wife of my boss oddly treated me like I was beneath her, to the point my boss had to check his own wife. He even made fun of her at one point and called her a robot. It was like he was trying to make up for how she treated me. The other family I worked for were such angels and I still love them til this day. I can see the old school vs. new school dynamic. Korea will always have a place in my heart because I know there are truly some kindhearted people there.

      The solution seems pretty simple to me. At least part of the solution would be to stop portraying black people so negatively in the media and in movies and start making it mostly positive. It's hard because people in charge of making these movies and funding the news companies are mostly white. That's why movies like black panther are so important to us. It irks me to see white people say why do we need more black super heroes and role models. Well, this is why

    My boyfriend is Korean. His mom, oh boy. Doesn't even want me in her house. Our first meeting I brought her flowers, we spoke about my family history, which includes having a Chinese grandmother who ran a women's college, everyone in my family went to university and had a good career in the fields of math and science. Good family background, educated, a good job. I make a point to get her gifts whenever I see something nice and I'm out with my boyfriend. And still she'll like call my boyfriend is she knows he's out with me and make up a crisis. Like she'll need him to drop her off at a sick friends house many a Friday night, or suddenly need to get something shew forgot to pickup from the grocery store at 10 pm. His dad now takes it to a new level, every time he goes to visit him at a restaurant, they always just happen to run into "a nice Korean girl" who just happens to be the daughter or niece of a very good friend of his.

I'll always respect her for being a good mother, even if she has hate in her heart. The gifts for her aren't for her so much as for myself, so I know I've taken the higher road and made a real go helping move along the family dynamics. Being from Jamaica I am a multi racial person. I loved my Chinese grandmother as much as I loved my Cuban grandmother and black grandfathers. I will not hold any part of my heritage in any less regard than another. I'm proud to be Jamaican.

      Prince Winthorp Regis Babatumbai chaboka the III Your theory on my boyfriend is probably correct. He has some growing up to do. I'm not sure why you're do focused on the self hatred theory though. I love my skin colour, it's the same as my mother's and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Race is a concept that has gotten too out of hand, culture is more my interest. I mentioned it because this video is about one cultures perspective on another's, so I thought to share my own experiences. While I find my boyfriends family unsupportive, I certainly don't lose sleep over their opinions as I know they're misguided. I've had a chance to live the culture of my parents and grandfathers, but not my gandmothers, so yes there is a fascination there because I want to learn about the experiences they had as they didn't live long enough to tell me themselves. The amount of venom in your words suggests you're the one who needs help.

      I do understand your point, but one of the key characteristics of new media is "active recievers". To get the information on specific area from new media, one should actively search the topic first. As long as the receiver is indifferent of that certain topic, main source of information is still traditional media.

    As an Asian myself, It's pretty scary how black people don't understand asian culture at all yet they accuse us for not accepting blacks into their community. There is nothing wrong about wanting to be within your own community of color where you speak the same language and share the same culture bc it is everyone's right to choose who they want to be around. I have had a experience where my father was shot and killed by a black male at his store even after he gave him all the money in the cash register. I understand that there are bad people in every race, but I don't understand why my dad, along with many other asian businesses in my community have always been targeted mostly by black americans. I also have a dear friend who is asian, and she has been raped by a black male one night while walking back to her apartment in Atlanta many years ago. I cry at night sometimes bc I know she is not okay and she will never be the same, and there is nothing I can do to help her to undo what happened that horrible night. These personal experiences of mine with black americans since childhood are not stereotypes but actual events that happened and is still happening in asian communities all around the US but I don't understand why nobody talks about this. It's culture that shapes people's behaviors, and when it comes to black culture they praise this ideology that being a gangster is somehow cool. I've lived in black neighbor hoods and a lot of the people I've tried to interact with seemed as if they had no conscience at all, which shocked me. You can't judge an entire race but you can judge a majority of a race by their culture and values. For example, Asian culture encourages people to get a higher education to live a better life and it's not a stereotype that many of us have achieved a higher income status through hard work. It's irresponsible and dangerous for society to always succumb and allow blacks to have such a powerful platform whenever they claim to be the victim whether on social media, movies, and television shows bc the misguided ideology of the black spokesperson will prey and brainwash on the naive young minds of asian women or any women who have absolutely no idea how dangerous and violent black communities really are.

The word “racist” has become a main weapon for cancel culture, to use on anyone or any organization that do not agree with them. Imagine a news media point out the “fact” there are more blacks in prison in the USA than other race, while they only make up 13% of population! That news media will be called racist and closed down. Everyone is scared of blacks. One time on CZcams some guy,I assume black person was mocking me ,saying go eat fish and rice, so I replied go eat your chicken wing and guess what?

    I wish people would realize that being black isn't always about athletics. Not all of us can run fast, play basketball or football. Some if us have other individual skills and hobbies, just like any other person on this planet.
    Additionally, there's nothing wrong in coming from Africa, and it's nothing humiliating about it. Some of us come from North America, and even different parts of Europe, just as everyone else comes from different parts of the world too.
    "Big Black Bro/Sis" can be seen as racist because acknowledging that the person is black is heavily unnecessary. It would be the same as "Big Asian Bro" or "Big Hispanic Sis": uncalled for. But "big bro/sis" is understandable, because it shows endearment.
    The fact that black people are still not seen as equals to everyone else in this world irks me. Hopefully everyone comes to understand that our struggles should too, be acknowledged, and that we deserve the same treatment as everyone else.

There are so many races in the world, why do you assume that EVERYONE else gets better treatment? Chinese, Indian and Pakistani, for example...they ALL get treated better than blacks by South Koreans? I'd love to see your evidence for that.
      2. "Please don't allow forms of entertainment media shape the way you think," um...? In a country where 96% of the population is Korean, you recognize perhaps the ONLY way some of them will ever see/experience a black person is through media? On "movies, TV or advertisements" that black people have WILLINGLY chosen to appear in to project themselves in a particular way? I mean, that's what media is for right?

      reezy I don't think you know how preferences work. I prefer crunchy peanut butter over creamy, but I also like creamy peanut butter. I don't see creamy peanut butter as inferior or disgusting. That's a preference. What I'm talking about is colorism and no it's not okay or defensible regardless of how it originated. There are darker skinned Koreans and other Asian people and people of color who are discriminated against within their own societies based on the tone of their skin. Good to know you're okay with colorism though.

      They were taught to call them people black .Theres no such thing as black people .They call them black because of their mental state .black means the absence of light . light symbolizes knowledge .So here in America they call my people black because they lack knowledge of who they are , so they are rejected and looked unpon as undesirables .Its a great Sin for people to be on this earth and not know who they are . So when they call us black the are saying we have no knowledge of ourselves . Slavery took away the knowledge of who they are .These people who call themselves black are Asiatic people .black describes a mental state not a skin complexion .These people have a Olive complexion .All people of hue has an Olive shade except pale skin people who you call white . Pale skin people are not white . The pale skin people have fooled the whole world . The have the people of India wanting to be white or light skin .We understand this because the British ( pale skin people ) used to rule India , so they taught the people of India to like light skin people .

      ​@@rickeybernard8156 I don't think you realise that foreigners have a different stream of social platform to Asians, especially China, Japan, and South Korean. Korean's internet base is extremely isolated from the rest of the world, even for news. Even more, the language difference just blocks out any sorts of understanding of other countries. As for myself, I am indeed South Korean as I was born in Seoul, who lived in Korea for 6 years. During my trips forth and back from New Zealand to Korea, it made me to realise in how separated this country is compared to such countries like America. I think the major issue is about the language difference, and how the media portrays things. It's not an excuse, yet just a simple reality and the world we live in.
      I respect your religion and how God has given the talent for people to judge, but I think that is quite irrelevant. It is no difference saying "The starving African kids should now how South Koreans look because God has given intelligence", because that is just simply not true. I don't think you should even bring God into this subject as people have different beliefs and different experience, I say this as I am a Christian who believes in the existence of God, thus, it deduces me to saying that your point doesn't help to transfix the world to our ways, and that my "excuse" is quite valid.

      Korean also don't have a colonial history, and their language is unique to their country. It's not widespread and it's difficult to learn. It makes assimilating to them very difficult by nature, hence why people don't go living there in the first place.
      The japanese have a colonial history, but it was wildly unsuccessful and many countries in Asia despise them. So the ancient colonies feel avenged in a sense. It's not like Britain who has been hated and infiltrated by many nations as a revenge for their horrific treatment in the past, and also the most popular language in the world which is relatively easy and that many people can learn. Not to mention their open mentality.
      This explains the difference between immigration to the West or the East.

Maybe the question should be reversed since they imitate our culture, music, dress, slang, etc. & then call it “pop culture” in an attempt to separate whatever they like of it from the blackness that created it. K pop & the popularity of hip hop in Asia is a result of this. They copy us, we do not copy them.

    First, Im korean and i apologize what they said ....Im sure the people in a video are so uneducated and ignorant .. this video and the comments make me so frustrated bc all korean don’t think like these people, what they r saying is just their stereotypes affected many medias.
    Many korean have few opportunities to connect foreigners and to study abroad so they see black people are good rappers, singers and have good bodies from tv, movies and music.
    In my case, i have stayed about 2 years in America. Before i go there, my mom didn’t want me to go bc there are many black people in a town that i lived!!! And my mom told me blacks are dangerous and disrespectful to asians. That kinda made me having fear in my mind. But I thought it is wrong to judge them just hearing what mom said so I didn’t change my decision. And i made many memories with Americans:)When i came back to korea, i told my family that how black people are nice and funny to change their perspective , now my parents have right thoughts like me. Probably the elderly in Korea still have stereotypes to black like my grandmother does.
    But most of them never met foreigners in their life..that’s why they just see foreigners in the way they feel. There is no help for it....
    Sadly, I saw many ironic comments..
    Even though the people in the video are racists, y’all can’t do like them .. people who wrote the racism comments toward asians are identical with them in this video..stop hating!!
    There are racists in which country yall visit not only korea. When i was in America, everyday two black guys said very shameful and racial discriminative jokes to me. Then i got angry to them, NOT TO BLACK. Don’t hate a particular race!

I do wish you would've asked them more about getting their perceptions about a whole race of people from media (similar to your Korean drama vs real korea interview). I also don't understand the Big Black Bro/Sis thing. Would it be ok if I called them "my little yellow bro/sis" no matter their age and status? It seems like I would be calling them inferior to me/talking down to them...EDIT: what I'm trying to say is if flipping the language seems inappropriate, then it probably isn't the best language to use for everyone involved . Black people don't want to be put on pedestals or be given titles for no reason. We just want to be treated like individual human beings that have different experiences, that you would learn about if you talk to us. Again great job, and thanks for the interview.

      sugarwaters Well the situation we use the term "Heuk Hyeong (Big(=older) black bro)" or "Heuk Nuna(big(=older) black sis)" is when we admire or envy black people's superiority especially on music and sports. As we use "Hyeong" for close older male friends and "Nuna" for close older female friends, "Heuk Hyeong(Big black bro)" and "Heuk Nuna(Big black sis)" are, in a way, the way of showing their familiarity and closeness towards black people. But I do understand those can be discriminatory, by categorizing certain groups of people with their skin color(because "Heuk" means black).
      This insensibility on racial discrimination in Korea comes from ingnorance because Korea is extremely homogeneous society. BUT, believe me. As the interviewees in this video, Koreans are getting sensible on racial discrimination issue and willing to embrace foreigners to their society. Okyere Samuel, the guy who shared his discriminated experience at the beginning, was an international student from Ghana, and now he is one of the beloved celebrities in Korea.

      When I lived in China (vastly different country, I know, but bear with me) people called each other "brother" or "sister" regardless of how related they were; especially in regards to children; I suspect that other asian countries may have a similar culture of familiarity in name-calling (if I'm wrong do tell me, I'm curious to know). But, based on what I know, calling someone a familial name is rather widely accepted; though shouting it at a random stranger would be considered odd if it were between two Chinese strangers. Again, not sure how that translates to Korean culture, but when I heard it in the interview, I was not surprised at all.

    I think the problem is the Korean system. People are too busy focusing on the maths/english/sciences than educating the Korean people with their Geography and Politics and history. Black people are more than just sport players and musicians, you need to study the history of them to understand why black people (specially in America) are predominantly in the music/sport industry. You have to learn and understand the effects of slavery & Jim Crow & post-slavery America. Black people were limited (are still limited today) with the things they were able to do. So its really ignorant to base a whole race off of what you see in the media. What kind of person would i be if i judged Koreans based on kpop-idols & the fact that Korea is most known for it's high rates of plastic surgery? What if i thought South Korea and North Korea were the same & treated their people the same. You see i too was never taught in school about Asia in general, let alone Korea, but for people to base things off of media is really horrible. Another thing to understand is you can't just say "Africa", there are 54 countries, be more specific when talking about African people. Another thing is, African-Americans don't represent all of Africans.. again there are 54 countries. People need to understand Africa isn't a unprivileged continent because the people are dumb or poor, you need to learn its history to understand why it is the way it is. Every country in Africa was colonised (except Ethiopia & Liberia) by predominantly white Europeans, so in order to judge a whole continent and its people you need to understand the effects of post-colonisation. Learn about the drug war, because black people didn't just "get into drug dealing", drugs were put in black neighbourhood by white Americans to segregate and deteriorate black people in America. Another thing that really bothers me is the fact black are known, and this is a historically proven fact, the most discriminated against & most killed race in all of history, so for people to assume that black people are the "dangerous" ones is gross. I highly recommend that Koreans and everyone as a matter of fact to educate themselves instead of judging a whole race based on American media. Nevertheless i think social interviews like this are important because it makes us realise that theres a problem in our societies & the education systems really needs to step up, to make these kind of opinions about the black race change. Also more and more people need to step in when they see racism taken place.

      The Dankest Betty White- What you said is true. But black is associated with various negatives such as fear, mystery, violence, death, evil, and aggression, authority, and rebellion. While the word white is an inherently positive word. It is associated with, virginity, innocence, light, goodness, heaven, safety, brilliance, illumination, understanding, cleanliness, faith, beginnings, sterility, spirituality, possibility, humility, sincerity, protection, softness, and perfection. (Btw I looked it up)There is a clear distinction of meaning between the two. It is clear that even some black stereotypes remain in the name of our race.
      Moreover, white people are also called Caucasian. But what's another term for black people? African American? But the term only refers to Americans that are African. But I am black, and I don't know my ancestry. Should I be called African American? Jamaican American? Trinadian American? Overall I am black, but do not know where I come from. Then am I called black American? But I dislike the the meaning. So what should I be called? I am trying to convey that white people can be called Caucasian if they dislike the term white. But what can black people like me be named if they don't like the term black?

I'm a tall, black male, but I would never mug someone or kill them (unless I'm being attacked, then someone might die), but because I look the way I do, people assume that I am a threat. It's disgusting, it's historical, and it's racist. Drop the stereotypes; they actually harm people.

      Kodama Exactly; it also precludes the realityvthat other traits belong to us too - namely, excellence in the fields of science, mathematics, and literature. when Korean people ID black people as belonging to strength activities & "creative field", we know they mean fighting, high-contact sports (aggression) and singing/dancing/possibly acting. How is that any different than the pastiche that the Western world has displayed for decades? "Strong, singin', simple negro". Meanwhile, they never bother to learn about the hundreds of inventions & advances in medicine, engineering, etc that black people are responsible for. I get that their govt is myopic in what it focuses on, but in the 21st century, that excuse won't play. If you have access to info & you instead trust stereotypes (given by white media, which...that's a whole fucked up relationship Korean has w/them), you're embracing ignorance.

      Agree - I'm not tall but I have a muscular frame but I'm extremely friendly and a non-violent person. I would walk away from a physical confrontation even if I felt I could break the person in half because life is not about who you can beat to the ground. Now if you attack me you will reap what you sow :)

      Because they are? Like yes we're all black, but culturally we do our own stuff? I mean I'm black (Surinamese) and I live in the Netherlands, sometimes I relate to African-American culture, but I mostly do not. It's just culture. I mean Dutch people and Spanish people are also different even though they're both caucasian.

      @guiding star Most people I know are black. Most people I know are really skinny or too fat.
      Black people are not natural athletes... The only reason you think that is because all exposure that you have to black people is through TV. Most TV actors and entertainers are pretty buff, assuming all of us are like that is a stereotype.
      I don't blame you, though. The human mind tends to exaggerate on the characteristics of the unknown and blow it out of proportion for no reason

      @saintejeannedarc9460 Před 6 lety +29

      Why can't racism have good intentions? Everyone believes they're the hero of their own story. Even an antinatalist believes the human race should go extinct because they think their beliefs are righteous and just.

    • @saintejeannedarc9460
      @saintejeannedarc9460 Před 6 lety +17

      Racism doesn't have good intentions, it's malevolent. Look, racism now means what anyone w/ an agenda wants to tell you it means. All it is is a marxist manipulation tool to shut you up or make you dance and give whatever they demand.

    I've been in a few Asian countries and wherever it was, I have been stopped countless number of times to be taken a picture with just because I was black. In Japan, unexpectedely, I had a looooot of success with boys. People were pointing fingers at me while talking, sometimes I could understand what they were saying and it wasn't necessary racist. In Malaysia however, whenever I was in some flea market, you know when vendors call you to get your attention on their products? Well many were calling me "Hakuna Matata" or "Barack Obama", it wasn't pleasant at all but you could tell they didn't even realise it was bad. Oh yea and still in Malaysia, some people were fairly surprised whenever I would tell them that I live in France because they thought every black people lived in Africa.
