In the world of Korean cartoons, white people are endowed with much longer Pinocchio-like noses and usually have blond hair. I agree with Leefr.

I'd say the features, the hair, and the clothes are stylized to represent the typical white collar Korean ajoshi. Korean people are aware that these hagwon owners are Korean, and this is a story about Koreans scamming Koreans. No need to get overly defensive here. The guy counting money looks Korean to me.

Seeing how apt they are to spread their wings and really embrace the host nation's culture...nevermind. With all the Koreans moving to the PI perhaps Tagalog lessons are needed.

Oh well, what do I care? Korean greed and stupidity is paying my bills, and paying them quite well, I might add. Maybe I don't want any Koreans to take their heads out of the sand quite yet. And thank god not every Korean is so greedy and stupid or it would be unbearable. great, more ambiguous proof of the evil foreigner.Don’t you just love living in a place that blames you, the foreigner, for every problem created by some Koreans’ greed and stupidity?

In this case, the cartoon is disparaging both the Filipino and white guys - very racist on both counts. Is there a single one of these places owned by a white guy ?
