As you all know by now, Pittsburgh Steelers wideout and Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward is in Korea, where he is being given a hero’s welcome.
The visit has prompted the JoongAng Ilbo to go absolutely buck-wild with pieces dealing with the issue of multiracial Koreans. And probably none too soon, if some of the statistics are to be believed. In Jeollanam-do, 18.5 percent of all marriages are international marriages. In Seoul, international marriages account for 18.2 of all marriages, and in Jeollabuk-do, 17.6 percent. In 22 cities, districts and counties across the nation (not including metropolitan regions like Seoul and Busan), the international marriage rate surpassed 30 percent last year.
International marriages are increasing particularly in industrial areas. In Seoul’s Guro-gu, the international marriage rate climbed from 9.7 percent in 2003 to 16.4 percent in 2005. In Ansan, it went from 6.4 percent to 11.6 percent. On the other hand, international marriages in Dongducheon, a major U.S. base town, decreased from 25.7 percent in 2004 to 22.5 percent in 2005. An official from a group assisting women in U.S. base towns said that with women nowadays leaving the base towns, the number of international marriages and Amerasian births is on the decline.
Needless to say this, these trends are leading to major changes in Korean society, especially in rural regions where the ratio of international marriages is remarkably high. Some rural villages are becoming virtual bastions of globalization, with a true mixture of faces, cultures and languages. And as the number of foreign-born brides increases, they are becoming much more socially active, forming clubs and, as in the case of Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, trying to make their voices heard politically.
The school yard is also changing. In Jeollabuk-do, there are some 755 multiracial students enrolled in area schools. In the case of Mupung Elementary School in Muju-gun, four of the incoming eight first graders are multiracial.
In the old days, when the bulk of international marriages were between Koreans and ethnic Koreans from China, this led to few problems as the children were physically no different from their classmates. In fact, the teachers of Gwanchon Elementary School of Imsil-gun didn’t even know that 12 of their students, who were born to mothers who were either Chinese or Japanese nationals, had foreign moms. The increasing number of children born to Filipino and Vietnamese mothers (see photos in link), however, have experienced teasing and bullying at the hands of other students, although in the case of at least one school, this was rectified by putting the multiracial students together in one class.
The number of international marriages shows no sign of leveling off. Last year, the county office of Yecheon-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do arranging 16 marriages between rural bachelors and Vietnamese women as part of a project to promote the building of families in their agricultural town. Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do plan to provide free tutoring in Korean and math to some 200 multiracial students from this month. Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do, has gotten positive reviews from residents for employing nine Filipino wives as English teachers in 14 local elementary schools.
Stick a fork in the “one race” ideology
Things may be changing so drastically, says the JoongAng, that it says–only half-jokingly–that the nation may have to include a box for ethnicity on its next census. According to a 2000 UN report on replacement migration, Korea is going to need 6.4 million foreign workers between 2020 and 2050 to keep its economically active population at 36.6 million. This will lead to an explosion in the multiracial population, and will probably necessitate changes in the way Korea’s textbooks teach the Korean identity. Currently, Korean history and ethics textbooks emphasize that Korea is an ethnically homogeneous nation (Korean: danil minjok). This leads multiracial students to feel like foreigners even in their own classrooms. Said one half-white Korean high school girl, “Every time I see the word danil minjok, it’s like I’m being stamped as a stranger.” A high school teacher, noting how current textbooks simply stress the homogeneous nature of the Korea people without examining first whether it’s actually the case, said textbooks needed to teach multiracial Koreans to be proud members of the society.
Political power and building bridges?
Coincidentally, the multiracial population of Korea is expected to be somewhere in the number of 1.67 million by 2020 (more than the population of Gangwon-do). By that year, one in five Koreans under the age of 20 will be multiracial, as will be one in three newborns. With this, some expect Korea’s foreign-born and multiracial population to become a political force like the Hispanic population in the United States, especially if they come together as a political interest group. One professor predicted that Vietnamese wives, for example, might group together to pressure politicians to increase foreign aid to Hanoi. Another said the multiracial population could become a bridge between Korea and the developing economies of Southeast Asia.
Another interesting feature (and there are a lot of them) of this potential change is that it’s likely to spread to the cities as rural farmers, their foreign wives and their multiracial children move to urban areas. This could smash the concept, widely held in Korea, that you’re supposed to marry only “within the tribe.” It’s also likely to make “hyphenation” (i.e., Filipino-Koreans, Vietnamese-Koreans, etc.) a universal practice in Korea.
Not all roses
The JoongAng warned that while the racial diversification of Korean society carried with it a lot of positives (including broadening the society’s international understanding and sparking greater artistic and imaginative creativity), it could also lead to serious problems, especially if the society was not prepared and foreign-born and multiracial Koreans were ostracized by mainstream society. One professor warned that if Korean society cannot embrace its pigmentationally different members, violent youth riots not unlike those that took place last year in France could happen in Korea.
Back to Mr. Ward
The JoongAng has a ton of other stuff on this issue, none of which I’m really in the mood to summarize at the moment. In much more important news, Ward and his mom got to meet President Roh at Cheong Wa Dae. Obviously for Ward’s mother, she’s come a long way since Koreans were spitting on her in the streets.
Ward also held a press conference–which I’m sure the Korea Times or Korea Herald will run in full tonight–during which the NFL star noted he was proud to be Korean.
Unfortunately, according to a survey of 30 teen-aged multiracial students in the Seoul-Gyeonggi-do region conducted by the Korea Youth Counseling Institute, about half of multiracial teens sneer at success stories like Hines Wards. About half have experienced depression due to their lot in life, one-third have been teased because of their skin color, and one-fourth have been beaten on account of it. Only 32.2 percent of the multiracial teens surveyed though of themselves as Koreans. And among those of black descent, not a single one said he or she thought of himself or herself as Korean. Likewise, none of those multiracial teens enrolled in alternative schools thought of themselves as Korean. Some 71.4 percent wanted to emigrate, while all those of black extraction wanted to emigrate.
About Hines Ward, 46.4 percent said they didn’t care. Another 20.3 percent said they were envious of his success, but his story was different from theirs. Likewise, few of the teens thought social interest in Hines Ward would do any good. But don’t tell that to any of the tots Hines got to meet on his first day here.
Last, but not least
KTF has released an ad featuring yet unreleased personal photos of multiracial singer Insooni. The ad is part of a KTF campaign to improve the public’s perceptions of multiracial Koreans. Feel free to download it from KTF’s webpage.
And with that, I bring you half-black, half-Korean singer Amerie Rogers, who is not only hot, but a G’town grad.

Time to re-write those textbooks. And on a more selfish note, I hope this leads to real pho in the “Vietnamese” restaurants in Korea (and not the faux pho they serve now).
i fully expect this to become a korea bashing thread. of course, the korea bashers won’t say much about their brothers’ part in all of this ie american fathers not taking responsibilty for the children they make.
i hope korea is careful about buying into the garbage of a multi-ethnic society fed to them by expats who really only care about themselves. califas, anyone?
****
dogbert, i owe you an apolgy; i did not mean to offend you by poking fun at those creepy guys in the manga section here in ther west. i apologize and do hope you enjoy whatever manga you’re currently reading. again, my heartfelt apology.
Imagine if Hines Ward had dropped that touchdown pass and/or the Seahawks had won.
Really, imagine it.
No flood of articles about the Super Bowl. Little to no interest in Hines Ward or his mother. No mob of photographers and reporters. No lunch with Roh. No fights between Korean Air and Asiana. No hundreds of phone calls to the Pearl Buck Foundation. No stories about struggling mixed-race kids. No surveys taken of mixed-race kids. No Fubu contract. No MBC. No politicians clawing each others eyes out for photo ops. No press conferences. No Hines Ward syndrome. No first pitch at a Korean baseball game. No honorary citizenship. No Lotte Hotel suite. In a word, nothing.
If you need any proof of that fact, look at the last 8 years of Ward’s career. How many Korean companies, politicians, and reporters came calling when he was just a good football player, and not a Super Bowl MVP? Zilch.
Important difference you missed Ward. Korean people don’t accept you as a Korean. They spat at you as a Korean. They accept you as a famous Korean. They sneered and looked down on your mother as a Korean, but now accept her as a famous Korean. They wouldn’t accept your children as Koreans, but are more than happy to accept them as famous Koreans. Learn the difference.
There’s a fine line between being spat upon and being fawned over. For Hines Ward, that line is about the length of a fingertip stuck to pigskin.
He drops that ball, he’s just another twigi. And all the mixed-race kids who are expressing indifference or hostility to the Hines Ward phenomenon are doing so because they’re on the other side of that line, and they’re still being spat upon. And they’re right.
i shouldn’t have been so hasty in dismissing the idea of a multi ethnic korea. i fully support the immigration of people like the vietnamese and mongols since their offspring could easily blend into korean society. but korea had better be careful in thinking the same can be true with indians or muslims.
no chinese either since they’ll never let go of their loyalty to china.
Wow….I did not know the number was so high. I attribute that probably due to the fact that there are so many Korean American male kyopos who have the social skills of an 8 year old kid who thinks he owns the block because of a new toy that was bought for him. Thus, they are not looked upon very favorably by their educated, strong-minded, kyopo sisters who are instead looking to non-kyopo pastures. As a result, so many of them go to the motherland and find success at tagging the local girls who, because of their naivety and lack of a proper BS detector, unfortunately fall victim to the kyopo male’s chicanery and end up marrying them thinking that they have just tied the knot with Cassanova. However, their dreams become shattered when they realize that in actuality, there have sealed their fate for a lifetime of infidelity, being forced to make kimchi chigae for him each time he comes home drunk, and having to endure his lame jokes and infantile bragging after every twig measuring session. In other words…it’s the same situation…about as romantic as a date with a chimp at the local burger joint…but with the added value of it being in English.
Damn straight…oh wait a minute, are we talking about Korea or Japan? In case of the former, hell yeah…get that garbage idea of a “multi-ethnic” society out of here. Foreigners are always foreigners, and it is laughable that they even think they can achieve the level of us, superior noble Koreans. But if you are talking about Japan, damn those racist Japanese for trying to restrict immigration and barring foriegners from taking public jobs. Hell, we foreigners have every right to go into Japan and demand that they accept us into their country and they should not complain one bit. Japan doesn’t belong to the Japanese..it belongs to us foreigners first! However, if it is Korea…no way! Korea is much too noble and should be untouchable to outsiders! How dare the dirty foreigners even think about criticizing Koreans for being isolationist xenophobes! Their’s is a culture which should be kept pure and sacred at all costs!
Take the expat/kyopo bashing somewhere else, please.
Pot-kettle-Robert Kim
Why would it be a half-joke to think “that the nation may have to include a box for ethnicity on its next census”? 2020 is only about 10 years away (a blink of an eye), and by that time, Korea will have 1.5 million multi ethnic people calling Korea their home. I think Koreans have every right to be apprehensive about immigration when they see what’s going on in Europe where Muslim violence is terrorizing the continent , and in America, where massive number of immigrants are demanding everybody be let in - regardless if it’s legal or illegal immigration.
“2020년엔 신생아 3명 중 1명이 혼혈”
Year 2020, 1 out of 3 new borns will be mixed race.
Enjoy your Korean girl fix now while you can.
I’m imagining it, but it still hurts. Why oh why did my ‘Hawks have to lose the Super Bowl???
As far as the Hines Ward story is concerned, it remains to be seen how things play out. The cynic/blueballs in me thinks this will be just another passing fad, but the optimist/kushibo in me thinks that this may actually be a step forward in the maturation of Korean society.
I wonder if the irony of pairing these two statements together escaped you.
Just joking. Geezz.
So was I. Didn’t mean to come across as critical. Sorry.
I can’t be the only one who remembers getting instructed, by a gunnery sergeant at Combined Federal Campaign time, to contribute to the Pearl S. Buck Foundation or else — “Clean up your buddies’ mess” was the strong hint.
Original Koreans are from Mongolia and China. I am certain that up to 19th century Koreans believed that they are a part of the Great Chinese Empire. The king of Korea along with the king of the south, the king of the north,etc. was under the emperor of China. The title of king meant the regional administrator. In other words, Korea was a part of China. Koreans at this time proudly identified themselves as the Chinese and have loyalty toward the emperor of China.
Then, the modernization came and the Japanese took over Korea. To form a separate consciousness from China and thereby tearing Koreans away from China, they taught Koreans a “danilminjok”(pure blood) theory, which is a joke for a people who look exactly the same as the Chinese and Mongols. If you doubt this, just get pictures of them and picture of Korean face and compare. No difference!
This pure blood garbage always leads to isolationism: Koreans wanting to kick out all foreigners to protect itself. Very similar to Aryan nation idea or Zionism. I have heard the Chinese have “ChungWha” idea.
Get real. No one race or a country is superior to others. Just the fact that Hines Ward is a great football player does not mean average Koreans can excel in football. Hines can be a “genetic oddity”(twiggi) and this happens often in mixed genes.
However, for Koreans, who have been downtrodden continuously by the Chinese, Russians and the Japanese, any outstanding achievement by anyone remotedly connected with Korean blood will be savored. Inferiority complex in action.
Expats must entertain and condone this exhibit of “national celebration” of Korean pride. If you know Korean history, this wee bit of positive enforcement cannot be all bad.
Korea has been and is changing rapidly. I look forward to the day when there is a better educated public, a true awareness of the culture and a better functioning democracy here. Believe me, I will not miss the old adjoshi pissing out in the open, in the children’s playground and then sitting down to smoke a cigarette and chat on a cell phone.
and you think these will dissapper with the arrival of immigrants from South East Asia?
“I will not miss the old adjoshi pissing out in the open, in the children’s playground and then sitting down to smoke a cigarette and chat on a cell phone.”
Fat chance.
As to the treatment of “mixed-race” in Korea, it is in horrible state. Racial hate crimes are rappant in Korea and sometimes encouraged by grown-ups. A sweeping change is necessary.
The president must declare it illegal and the congress must pass a law. However, the real change will come through education - textbooks, teachers and movies.
Yes, movies. A good movie about “humane foreigners” (like two nuns from Switzland who took care of Korean lepers for over fifty years) can change the perception of foreigners. Or a movie about “struggle for survivor” of a foreign migrant worker.
Like the “Uncle Tom’s cabin” changed how blacks are viewed in American society, these movies will change Korea. After all, the only main difference is the skin color. And, some minor differences in lifestyle.
Baduk–At the risk of taking the thread off topic, let me ask: you didn’t just compare Aryan Nation to Zionism?
Some Korean Christian pastors visited Jerusalem and Israelis students spat saliva from a building above. “Oriental dogs, go home. This is Jewish land.”, I guess they were saying.
I am happy as a Christian that Jewish people got Yerusalem and the surrounding area. It is a fulfillment of two thousand year old prophecy (actually it was by Daniel and before Christ). It is better than having Moslem mosk on the hills of Jerusalem.
So, I support Zionism up to that point. However, modern day Zionism goes further, I have heard. Some Jews want to take back all the lands that belong to them in the time of King David. This will cause my bloodshed.
Other tourists told me Jewish people treat Palestain people as the Japanese treat Koreans. Much worse. Beating them in the street and such. Religious pride is the worst pride of them all.
BTW, some Korean Christians are planning “peace march” in Jerusalem to teach Jews and Palesteins to get along. Talk about audacity! It comes mainly from ignorance and lack of sensitivity.
my -> much.
This will cause my bloodshed.
my -> much
For a moment I thought to myself, did the Jews occupy LA at the time of King David?
Whatever happened to once you go black you’ll never go back?
No stories about struggling mixed-race kids. No surveys taken of mixed-race kids.
Actually, prior to Hines Ward’s success, there have been quite a number of articles in the Korean media about mixed race kids AND adults in Korea, e.g. 이유진. Also, the Korean Human Rights Commission recently completed a study of Korean-born and raised honhyulin, and it included some rather interesting surveys and interviews.
If you need any proof of that fact, look at the last 8 years of Ward’s career. How many Korean companies, politicians, and reporters came calling when he was just a good football player, and not a Super Bowl MVP? Zilch.
Again, actually, I recall seeing at least one article about Hines Ward in the Korean media several years ago, before he was “famous.”
I agree that there’s a certain measure of hypocrisy to all the media frenzy, but would it have been any more desirable to have the Korean media just ignore his existence altogether and only spotlight athletes of “full-blooded” Korean descent?
Also, for the record, we/they’re not all “kids”.
a current governmental official told me last year that the honest estimate of foreigners (including illegals) is now around two million. if that is true, it will be interesting to see if the foriegn and mixed-race population can eventually band together and ostracize pure-blooded koreans.
the news said that hines ward has a complete floor of a hotel and the cost is six million won per night. it was my original impression that the gov’t invited him and was going to pay for flights and accomodation. if that is the case, is it a reasonable expenditure of tax money on an american and not koreans of mixed race?
it may be time for shelton to take off his writer hat and put on his private dick hat to get to the bottom of this…
last year->last weekend
by the way, if you’re wondering where all those foreign women are going watch “you are my sunshine.” not a bad movie either.
last year->last weekend
Time to quit drinking, Your Honor.
a current governmental official told me last year that the honest estimate of foreigners (including illegals) is now around two million.
This wouldn’t surprise me. For so-called “3-D workers,” there might be a lot of illegals who have slipped below the radar and are hard to count. For many Anglophones, especially teachers, those on tourist visas or working holiday visas might not be counted among the official figures for “residents.”
Frankly, I really don’t care to discuss the Hines Ward issue in this forum, but I am very optimistic. However, if this whole halo effect and its trickle-down effects on other mixed children/adults who grew up in Korea turned out to be short-lived, it wouldn’t be without precedent.
This reminds me of a post from last December, an “archive” about Annie Park, discussed in Time Magazine back in 1965, just as the US was gearing up for another wave of “Amerasian” children, this time in Vietnam.
Annie Park’s case is quite different from Hines Ward’s: she was illegitimate, while he is not; her claim to fame was about something salacious, while he is a sports hero. But then, as now, it was hoped that her celebrity would draw attention to the plight of “half-caste” children growing up in Korea. Maybe the problem was that it brought the wrong kind of attention. Maybe the far greater international exposure the average Korean now has, compared to the 1960s, will make a big difference.
Who knows? Yi Soon-yi made only modest changes in attitudes; still, some change is better than known.
better than none. I’m tired.
Or the romantic comedy-drama _Wedding Campaign_ (나의 결혼 원정기). Although most of the women featured in the movie are Uzbeki Koreans (고려 사람), there’s one woman of evidently Russian descent, married to a farmer in Yecheon, speaking much better and broader Gyeongsang dialect than I could ever hope to achieve.
Sorry, that was in reference to Judge Judy’s last comment:
“by the way, if you’re wondering where all those foreign women are going watch ‘you are my sunshine.’ not a bad movie either.”
Anyhow, a great post, Mr. Marmot.
Rather than be face-to-face with Hines Ward with a pretentious smile and phony politeness, it’s easier to hide behind the internet and bash interracial people.
Gosh, I don’t care HOW racial awareness get to Korea, just so long as it gets here. If that means a famous football player, fine. Celebraties have always played a leading role in cultural awareness…..
I wish I was a Korean trivia question writer so I could come up with this jewel:
Q: Who was the 2005 NFL MVP?
A: Shaun Alexander, RB - Seattle Seahawks
At least racial integration in Korea has not so far been acompanied by rioting, murders, and guys wearing sheets on their heads. Some Koreans can be obtuse about race issues, but give the society some credit for not being violently against any integration.
Also, these mixed marriages could lead to better Vietnamese restaurants
At least racial integration in Korea has not so far been acompanied by rioting, murders, and guys wearing sheets on their heads. Some Koreans can be obtuse about race issues, but give the society some credit for not being violently against any integration.
Though I generally agree with your sentiment, I don’t think it’s correct to say that it’s been smooth the whole way.
There aren’t many murders of USFK personnel in Korea, but one in particular was motivated, according to the perpetrator, by his anger of seeing a Korean girl walking, talking, and laughing with a GI (on a hot day). Yes, this person was mentally ill, but the trigger that took his mental illness homicidal was animosity toward integration.
And while Korea hasn’t had the KKK-type organized violence of some other countries, many mixed children growing up in Korea have indeed experienced bullying. Of course, children of “pure” Korean heritage also experience bullying for other reasons, indicating that being mixed is merely a pretext for bullying and not necessarily a cause, but still, this is violent behavior directed against integration.
Nulji,
I don’t know the Japanese language and I do not read manga, even in translation.
I do notice, however, that manga is very popular in Korea. It is nearly as prevalent as books written without pictures. I would wager that you probably have some hidden from your mom under your bed to this day.
Just like you won’t hear Koreans criticize Korean fathers (and mothers) abdicating responsibility by abandoning their children to be adopted overseas; you only hear about how awful it is that Americans are stealing Korean babies.
I wish the U.S. had been careful about buying into the garbage of a multi-ethnic society fed to them by liberals and not let trash like you in.
Surely, we could train someone to run dry cleaning machines.
Well…that’s one unfortunate incident compared to, say, mass lynchings in one town. I don’t think it’s correct to say that it’s been smooth the whole way either, which is why I didn’t say it. Bullying is pretty minor stuff, we all go through that in school.
Hahahahaha! LOL! Dogbertt, this is awesome! I bow down to your greatness.
Hogwash. The only reason why there are no mass lynchings in Korea is that because the foreign population is so miniscule compared to the sizeable majority of minorities in the US. Thus, the Koreans, through sheer numbers, have no problem in being able to quell any type of movement or voice of protest though the traditional Korean tactics of bullying, taunting and racist humiliation. There is no strength in numbers for the racial minority in Korea so they basically just suck it up and accept that they will be treated as inferior dogs by the Koreans. However, because blacks, hispanics, and other minorities have always made up a sizeable population in the US, racial strife is and always will be less unavoidable since whether they like it or not, they will have to bump heads and have to come in contact with each other. However, in Korea, almost 99% of Koreans could live their entire life without having to deal with or come into contact with a minority. Its comparing apples to oranges.
However, given the Korean propensity for violent behavior, racist indoctrination, and overall inferiority complex, you can be assured that if a sizeable minority were ever to reach a level in which the local population would feel “threatened”, the resulting backlash against foreigners would make lynchings and the LA Riots look like something from a nursery rhyme.
Although I do agree with most of what you say, this one is simply hogwash:
” resulting backlash against foreigners would make lynchings and the LA Riots look like something from a nursery rhyme.”
Chonko, most Austrailians have criminals as their ancestors. Given the Austrailian propensity for violent behavior, racist indoctrination (look what they did to the aborigines), and overall inferiority complex (well, they were criminals), you can be assured that if a sizeable minority were ever to reach a level in which the local population would feel “threatened”, the Austrailians will SHOOT to kill and hoard them away in desert land that nobody wants.
Choko, you’re an idiot, and a racist. You Sir, assume too much. Chonko, you are prejudiced.
by the way, I’ll never use Chonko’s tactics again. It’s really cheap and unimaginitive.
“Rather than be face-to-face with Hines Ward with a pretentious smile and phony politeness, it’s easier to hide behind the internet and bash interracial people.”
Hide? Positive or negative it’s the same form of entertainment. Blogs and comments on blogs can not be actual interaction. The whole point is that it is different. If website posts are happening in front of Hines Ward then why have website posts? It’s “easier” in a sense that physically there is no other way.
You have to have more people in the audience than on the stage. This is just an example of what the audience is thinking. Do you want the audience yelling out their opinions during the performance?
“fully expect this to become a korea bashing thread. of course, the korea bashers won’t say much about their brothers’ part in all of this ie american fathers not taking responsibilty for the children they make.”
I wouldn’t refer to other Americans fathers as my brothers.
There is nothing to hide or fight about on this point. Two people had a child and their marriage didn’t work out. That’s it. We can work the nonsense from both angles, but I think most people respectfully refrain from delving into Ms. Kim’s past. Agreed? Are we going to take Hines Ward back to the Japanese surrender? Christ.
“At least racial integration in Korea has not so far been acompanied by rioting, murders, and guys wearing sheets on their heads. Some Koreans can be obtuse about race issues, but give the society some credit for not being violently against any integration. ”
How? Where’s the historical comparison? There are numerous countries that can make the claim since they were not part of that history. I don’t see what you’re getting at. The USA was not part of the Christian Crusades and so, what?
Of course there is and always has been racism in the world.
Koreans are just people, they’ve done it all, no one is innocent.
by the way, I’ll never use Chonko’s tactics again. It’s really cheap and unimaginitive.
Hahaha..yeah, right. A Korean saying that he will not copy another person or give into his own racist feelings of insecurity? That is like the Pope denying he is Catholic.
Give me a break…a humble, confident, non-Japanese obsessed Korean is about as real as the tooth fairy. You people can’t escape it…the Korean chimps enjoy reveling in the hatred and jealousy too much. It is part of their culture.
tiny, what I was getting at: Korea is making a fairly smooth transition to a multi-ethnic society. Koreans didn’t fight Napolean at Waterloo either, and it wasn’t that kind of apples and oranges comparison.
