” Additionally, the criminal rates of foreigners coming from low-income nations and engaged in “3D” jobs is much lower. According to Justice Ministry data, Americans made up only 4.3% of resident foreigners in 2004, but they accounted for a full 10.9% of foreigner crime.

USA! USA! ”

Of course you do realize that that includes PARKING TICKETS ?

The Korean press will never let the facts get in the way of their agenda.

Here’s another go at it:

Just because the press doesn’t mention foreigners being murdered by Koreans doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Precisely. It’s the reporting of crime (or lack thereof) that shapes public opinion, regardless of the media outlet. It’s a sad fact that the statistical evidence - that the crime rate in Korea is lower among non-Koreans than it is among Koreans - gets little play in the media; perhaps the Joongang’s chief editor will explain that tired bit of race-baiting during the course of his RAS lecture on the ‘very real differences between U.S.-style journalism and the approach taken in a Korean newsroom’.

Just curious if the “American foreigners” include the USFK soldiers involved in brawls, drunk driving, etc. and convicted in Korean courts WITHOUT including the 28,000 soldiers plus their dependents (wives are Korean-Americans if they have a green card) to the totals for foreigners in country.
