#31 “So you’re saying that the last 10 years of anti foreign sentiment didn’t set Korea back?”

Actually, I think pawi is trying to say the last 10 years of anti-foreign sentiment never happened.

Ok, gotta get my asbestos suit on now…

“what a load of crap. korea is already part of the developed world and it’s racism isn’t a problem for said world. still further, it ain’t a problem in korea either…”

‘undesirable paranoic xenophobic traits that Korea needs to shed in order to join the developed world….’

what a load of crap. korea is already part of the developed world and it’s racism isn’t a problem for said world. still further, it ain’t a problem in korea either even if the expat whine about some korean kid looking at him too long.

mizar, what happened to the ‘we koreans’ crap? where did that go? even marmot himself said you were just a cracker posing as a tongpo. what happened to your masqurade? man, you’re on par with bevers/matt. sad.

There is good news at the Korea Times amid all the shite writing: Michael Breen has returned after months of silence there.

(Also it appears KT comment board defender archeologist is the hapless writer David T himself!)

#24,

My problem with it is that he doesn’t attempt to make a distinction based on the source of the criticism and the intent behind it. I certainly am not bashing Korea when I am critical of the Roh government, for example.
