Korean Girls React to 'Racism against Black People in Korea' 

That girl asking what those words meant seems like such a nice person. She was able to provide an educational moment for the people she talked to. It allowed them a few moments to think about how they interact with others - especially foreigners. Most of them seem like they want to be more accepting and they really want to be good people.

With the entertainment media thing, this is why there has recently been such a push for movies with black characters that do NOT have anything to do with drugs, or growing up in the hood, or baby mamas, or rapping etc. People around the world need to get a chance to see black people for something other than those things.

I hate that Black people are always shown in such a negative light, especially those in Africa…because Africa is such a rich continent and not everyone there is starving and poor. Africa isn’t a country, it’s a continent made up of many countries where each one is different. It’s really unfair for Black people to be seen as all the same when we are all different people just like everyone else. Also, “positive” stereotypes can be bad too. Not all Black people are tall, muscular, athletic, creative, etc. Again, we are all different, I’m average height, not athletic at all, super skinny, and can’t sing. Same with the stereotype that all Asians are good at math. That’s obviously not true but can be harmful that people assume things about you have have expectations that you can’t live up to.

when Yumi said "If somebody called me "yellow sis" I would be PISSED" I love these two sooo much.

My husband, has a RU-vid channel where he teaches math. He recently had a commenter on one of his calculus videos who actually said, "I see from your profile picture that you are Black. I didn't know Black people could do math, but you did a really good job." I mean, my mind was blown that someone would say such a thing. Why? Just... WTAF is wrong with you? (By the way, he's really good, so MrHelpfulNotHurtful, if you are an English-speaking high school student)

I was talking to a friend the other day, about how important it still is for me to see black characters on TV and movies who are more than the bad guy, or have some longevity. They didn't agree with me about the importance of media representation because I grew up in a good family so of course I know that not all black people are the same. I wish I had this video to pull up so I could also show that it's not just about the way I related to those characters but also about what other people take away from those characters.

One thing I have noticed is that universally, black people will face discrimination

I used to be called the "N" word all the time when I was younger too. The kicker is I am not African American. I am part Native American so when I was a child my skin was darker in color than the other Caucasian kids around me and forget about it if I was even in the sun for ten minutes. I would darken really dark. It was so annoying that even my own mother called me derogatory racist names when my skin was darker. So I guess everyone around me just thought it was okay to say that to me.

I'm black and I live here in Korea. Actually, I was so shocked that the second video was actually shot on my school campus Hanyang. It made me feel better to see that the students realized those words were wrong. I was scared for a second 😭Like,, that's my school! I think some of them realized when faced with a black person and having to explain it that it makes them feel shameful. It makes it clear that it's not ok to say.

I agree with your point about having a relationship with a black child would have greatly helped your understanding. When you have a personal relationship with people of other groups of races you realise .... you all have the same basic human needs and dreams. However in reality black children who study in Korea, Japan and China have testified that the bullying they experienced was crippling and often left them suicidal and depressed. Even at ages 4 and 5. The responsibility should not be placed on young children having to suffer ignorance to prove they bleed red blood just like everyone else. People need to come out of their comfort zones and question what they have been taught socially.

I feel like your generation are way more open minded than your parents and grandparents. All of the younger kids seemed to be not happy that she had heard that.. they were all appalled. Hopefully this shows that times are changing slowly, but surely

The guy in the white shirt during the second video needs his flowers, he was ready to throw hands to whoever called her that 😩😩😩

One of the saddest things, I've seen in Korea was the way people reacted when Sam posted on his Instagram about the school doing blackface. A lot of Koreans were dismissing the issue and turned around to attack Sam. He was taken off his shows and basically cancelled.

Always find it weird when people refer to movies for their perception of "poor and criminal" African/African-Americans instead of real life. Never heard of Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Oprah, Barack Obama, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Beyoncé, Jean-Michel Basquiat, etc? There are plenty of real and diverse examples of successful, hard working African/African-Americans that counter the stereotypes, so it's sad that people still don't acknowledge this across the globe.

One thing is black people always know is that it doesn’t matter which state, country, or city we go to. We will always experience racism

My best friend was an English teacher for a year in South Korea as part of his education degree. He noticed that of the 5 American kids at his school they were all White or Asian American. The vice principal basically told him something along the lines of: "That's why we do video call interviews. The principal and parents don't want dark skinned teachers." I was super shocked at it. From everything I had learned about South Korea up until that point it didn't seem to match up! D:

Lesson to be learned here, stereotypes are stupid and primitive

I think the person who straight up said the n word just didn't know how to censor himself while also getting the message across. Like he knew the word was bad and offensive to use but he didnt know u were suppose to refer it as the n word. Either way, u can tell afterwards that he knew the word was bad to use and condemned it.

7:19 I think being stared at isn't a big deal if it's follow by why you're staring. I stare at people and say "You're very pretty." or "I like you're outfit" and then go about my day. On the other hand, silent stares are frightening lol. They're implications have limitless meaning. It made me really understand how scary it can be to stand out.

this is why media is so important!! the portrayal of ethnic minorities in the media contributes to the prejudice people may or may not already have and the fact that POC portrayal in the media are often made by Westerners or are in Western context which in so many ways so problematic!! e.g. Western representation of ethnic minorities often involves minorities as being poor, helpless, inferior or are often the villain with aggressive behaviour which again feeds to the negative stereotype people have towards POC/minorities

I love the Korean students that were ready to fight whoever called her the n-word. They all looked at each other to make sure everyone was ready to kick some ass before asking, “who said it??’

So glad that you guys reacted to this! Racism is a HUGE deal and it's great to you guys acknowledge it.

I feel like showing this video to my students. Although they've never said any of those words to me, they continuous refer to my hair as "reggae hair" which I continuously have to correct because they don't see the issue with it.

I am really happy yall watched this video because as a black person myself I always find myself in arguments with kpop stans (for example who LOVE to argue that Koreans are not racist to black people and they don't know/use the "n" word and etc. I've heard that Koreans have IMMACULATE internet and great resources when it comes to media and education.....I am PRETTY DAMN SURE Koreans know what racism and stereotypes are and how it affects anyone. The proof of what I have been telling people is 3:26.... those words I have heard before and was told that they USE those words sometimes to describe black people so I was not shocked about it but many kpop stans make it seem like Korean people are "babies" and aren't exposed to certain things. I've also argued with Korean ppl online who said that colorism in Korea is okay...(Obvi it is your country and standards but when yall think the whitest idol is DARK, I am like damn cus I am BLACK ASF so I must be the color of dog poo or something to yall...btw I am laughing as I type this it is no hard feelings😂). Anyways, I as a black kpop stan myself, find it hard to stan kpop sometimes esp with the amt of anti-blackness, and colorism that goes on in Korea itself (in addition to kpop) but I mean I can't really do anything about it lol...I live in America and face SO MANY STRUGGLES here as it is already. Regardless, this video was another confirmation and eye-opener for me, and yes I am still scared as a black male to go to Korea (and no I do not fit any of those AGRESSIVE or curious racial stereotypes of what a black person to foreigners are) but it kind of hurts to know people think so low or different of us when all black people are NOT NOT NOT the same. We do NOT talk, act, eat, sleep, walk, dress, the same nor do we all have the same interests. I am a black male and I HATE SPORTS LMAO. I have always been a SCHOOL NERD literally. Even Africans and African Americans are from the same racial diaspora but WITH TWO DIFFERENT CULTURES ULTIMATELY! However, WOW, GREAT VIDEO. I could never hate anyone so I would love it if people would stop hating me bc of my skin color.❤️

I work as a moderator for the Asian Boss online community. We have had many POC members (incl myself (Indigenous/Korean/Japanese) who have experienced blatant racism, mainly verbal, but sometimes Korean male to POC females which is sometimes aggressive.

I can’t believe that one guy straight up said the n word with no hesitation wow. People always make excuses for khiphop artists for appropriating black culture and being blatant racists and say that they don’t know or they’re not exposed to black people but this shows that theyre aware of the persecution they face and still do it regardless

Thanks for actually caring as racism against black people is a big issue in Korea which is not addressed often!

I liked people's reactions in the street. Most we're concerned for the woman's welfare. Me and friends of mine had the same issue with the word gay being used in school to describe things as either stupid, or unfavourable. That meant that pupils who were exposed to these slang, and derogatory terms had become much more reluctant and shy about self-development, making them feel less safe about conversing on their own development.

The racism in Korea is real. I've been living here for a year and still have no Korean friends because I'm a foreigner living in the countryside. I'm here as an English teacher from the USA, but I am Filipino by blood if that gives you more context.

This is an excellent video. You should also explore what actual Koreans that are of mixed race heritage go through, not just foreigners. People are born in Korea with mixed heritage and are ridiculed in school and rejected. They are KOREANS but are treated as foreigners. Ive heard horror stories about this.

This is something that always worried me about largely monoethnic nations or really any community that's it monotonic. Almost all places in the world have a stigma against darker skin so being black and typically being the darkest makes it scary.

Exposure to homogeneous societies are important but I’d say more black people are probably scared than Koreans are scared of black people. Because of that it’ll still be extremely hard for black people to go to Korea although they want to visit. The difference between black and Korean stereotypes is that most offenses homogeneous societies have made aren’t from depictions from tv shows or movies, it’s real things that happen. Black stereotypes on the other hand are mostly from tv shows and movies which are meant to be exaggerated

Thank you for talking about this issue. I understand Koreans rarely interact with black people, but U.S. media is historically racist & the stereotypes don’t accurately portray African Americans (AA). I am almost 50 & I have never used drugs a day in my life, I don’t drink & I‘ve never seen or been around a gun either. I’m educated (Master’s degree), gainfully employed and have no kids. As a black woman, I don’t twerk, wear weave or long fingernails or dress in skimpy clothes. There are a lot of black people like me in 🇺🇸. What the media portrays as the typical AA accounts for about 25% of AA population usually residing in urban cities. The other 75% of us live NORMAL middle to upper class lives.

I have a korean friend, she recently told me that as a korean she doesnt like black people coming to Korea because she thinks they are causing lot of troubles.. i do hope people can be more open and not stopping at some cliches

And this is one of many reasons why I find it absolutely pathetic and saddening that you'll see people primarily k-pop stans and or k-hip hop stans fighting for their lives trying to push a narrative that their favorite idols, rappers and such don't know better and or they are not aware of these things and the meanings and such. They way they would much rather make threads upon threads of trying to disprove them using these terms and silencing black stans who took offense to use of these words instead of recognizing that they said it and should do better. The fact for some the meaning of the word "ggamdoongee" is causes an argument even when their have been many who have confirmed the meaning of it, it's just very bothersome. And even still to this day you will finds someone defending the use of the word (primarily someone who is not even black).

“If you're white, you're right, if you're yellow, you're mellow, if you're brown, stick around, if you're Black, get back”

I am a young mixed black man who has been fortunate enough to travel to many countries. I went to Japan a couple years back for 2 weeks and besides the staring, which didn't bother me, everyone I crossed was very friendly, especially when I made an effort to speak the language. I will also add that I traveled outside of Tokyo to less touristy areas and people were still very friendly. Of course being a tourist in a country is very different than living their and I'm sure Japan has similar issues with race that Korea has being that they are both homogenous countries. I have always wanted to visit Korea. Probably the most uncomfortable I have ever felt in another country was in a small town in Italy

it’s very crazy to think some people never have friends outside of their race until adulthood. growing up (in Seattle, Washington) i had friends of all identities, i couldn’t image it any other way!

The one example also is with Sam Okyere he faced a lot of discrimination after what he said against korean highschool students !! Can you talk about that in your next video ??

Thank you guys for making/reacting to this absolutely saddening issue in your country as where everywhere else as well. I love you all, peace and love to you. I highly appreciate you both. 💖

Thank you for covering such topics 🙌🏽

i’m really grateful for the things you’ve been reacting to for the past few weeks you guys are doing an amazing job!! love💜

I can't count how many times I have googled to see if racism is low or tolerable for safety reasons. I really want to travel the world but don't feel like I can handle it.

I really thought racism in South Korea wasn't that bad amongst younger people but seeing the comments in Sam's youtube channel after he complained about black face and even seeing some black guests on Hello Counselor who complain about the racism they face it really seems like most people there are only ok with black people who accept all harassment with a smile and remain affectionate...Sam really gave a lot of love there and he is literally cancelled on media and his comments are literally heart-breaking

This reminds me of My Neighbor, Charles (a Korean show about foreigners living in Korean). Once there was a couple: an African man and a Korean woman and their son. One of the hosts said she was surprised by his demeanor, because she expected him to be more wild. 😑

When they say “Who said that?!” It’s something about these words that make you feel cared for

I know one thing when I went to Bangkok I was treated with respect everyone was friendly and kind a lot of them thought I was a famous basketball player because I'm tall but other than that I had no problems. And I definitely can't wait to go again

Even Southeast asians are being discriminated in Korea. Some koreans teased me because of my Filipino English accent, I got very insulted by it. There are still so many ignorant people in Korea. But still there are more kind people in Korea, I also have a lot of friends there.

This is an interesting video considering another recent issue when it comes to an idol using the N-word. A lot of times there is the excuse that they don’t know better but since there was an entire word that means the N-word in Korean, that excuse does not hold water.

I really like this video ! As a mixed girl from France I never had experienced racism in France and I am always afraid it will happen one day. I love the fact that you are raising awareness about black people and racism in Korea since we don't have a lot of exposure in Asian's media and Hollywood movies show us as bad and unworthy people. Thank you so muchhhhh

I love and appreciate your willingness to look at controversial subjects like racism and homophobia in Korea. Would you ever be willing to discuss or react to topics related to North Korea? Specifically reunification? I’m super interested how Grandma Ok feels as well as your generation.

The fact they even have an equivalent to the n word is just so upsetting cause black countries don’t have swear words for Asians and black and Asian people barely have any interaction

Considering the amount of influence black culture has throughout Asia in its fashion, dancing, and music you would think there would be a higher amount of respect given, but NOPE.

thank you so much for reacting to this! it means a lot that you’re both taking the time to watch these videos and learn more about these things. also, you both look amazing!

Talking about discrimination, especially by the news and media, this is actually also so realtable to muslims. I feel the same as a muslim girl wearing the hijab

As a french young black woman, i went to Korea about 2 years ago and here is my experience. Before going there for vacation, I learned about the culture, customs and learned the language for 6 months. I knew people were going to look at me a lot and I was apprehensive about racist acts. I did not experienced racism per se during my trip, but a lot of sometimes awkward looks from the locals. People was often asking me if I was from Africa or America, and was shocked when i told them I was french (a big part of the world thinks that there is not a lot of diversity in France, but there is). The times I felt very embarrassed was when I was asked to take a picture with strangers, or when I was stared at. And one time a lady touched my hair in the subway (I had an afro), that's the only time I took it very badly. I think the experience was good at the end because I always kept smiling, and seeing that I respected Korean culture, many smiled back at me ! Also a lot of times where me and my friend were lost, people did not hesitate to help us ! I realized very quickly that Koreans are not used to see black people, so it's normal to have thoughts that don't reflect reality. At the end my trip was great, and I only keep good memories of it !!!

i grew up experiencing a lot of racism, though im "only" light skinned as you would say since im half black latina. racism is such a weird thing that i'll never understand. its just a skin colour, how can it bother someone so much to the point where they feel like they have to discriminate them?

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I'm from Canada and it's very multi-cultural here but we have many racist issues against many kinds of people and their religions etc. I'm in mixed marriage with a Korean and when my kids were little, i got rude stares and really STUPID questions. One person said, "oh you're baby is so pretty but what happened to her eyes??' I was like ahhhhh wth?? :/ Not cool ppl. Always always be respectful to all races/religions and educate yourself. Make new friends, travel. The world is a huge place and we don't have time for this stupid racism anymore

It's crazy how people think the colour of someones skin makes a difference in anything, they should just leave them be and if they can't say anything nice don't say anything at all 💕

What’s challenging in all of this is Koreans once faced discrimination from the Japanese…there are articles or videos that state Koreans were treated less than dogs. They were forced to not speak Korean, enslaved etc. The irony that a culture can face this themselves yet treat other cultures in a not to dissimilar way is sad. Learning and empathising from ones experience / history should enlighten them. It’s strange but also understandable on some level when society influences us in many ways, right or wrong.

“Who said it?” 😂 I wonder what they would do if she said something like, “That noona.” Or “the tteokbokki ajumma” or “my Korean teacher.” Will there be a fight?! 👀

This is why I loved my time in Korea. I had the chance to teach both young and old Koreans. It was great because we got into this topic alot. As a black man I was very happy to discuss this issue.

Thank you for bringing topics like this up, Zoey and Yumi! Much love to you guys ❤️

When the girl said that white people don't stare at black people in America I thought to myself, "You'd be surprised sweetheart."

I remember when I lived in Japan as an exchange student I stayed with a family that used to live in Czech republic (where I'm from) and my host mom once talked about how she thought it was strange that our main tv news had a black reporter since there are very little black people living there and that she would be mad if they had one in Japan and I thought it was so wild especially because she didn't really had a reason she just thought it wouldn't be good to have black person on tv that it's only ok if they are like comedians or something.

Hi Zoe! Thank you for bringing light to this issue. When I was in Korea, my school was planning a field trip for our camp students to a film museum, where there was a floor-to-ceiling mural of Al Jolson in Black face in The Jazz Singer. I mentioned it to some of my colleagues who are POC to check whether they wanted to try to educate the students about it before we went on the field trip. They did, and felt quite strongly about it. When we brought it up with the school's administration, a couple members were supportive but most just could not understand why it was a problem. One man even said, "Why do they care so much about that?" The best answer we were able to give him was that it's a similar feeling to the one some Koreans have about the lasting trauma from the Japanese occupation. Unfortunately, he didn't really understand and said we should stop making such a fuss. 😡 I also wanted to suggest that you consider making a similar video about the treatment that Muslims face in Korea. For example, two boys in one of my 6th-grade classes once said to me "Teacher, you Muslim? Oh, so scary -- all Muslim is fight!" They were meeting me for the first time. I stayed calm and said, "No, Muslims are kind. There are even Korean people who are Muslim!" But the 2 boys just started laughing and making gestures that supported their original statement. I ignored them and continued the class, but it was hurtful...

You should look into the life of Hines Ward. He was born in Seoul to a Korean mother and African American father. He is a Superbowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers and currently a coach in the NFL.

Staring at someone, even out of curiosity, can seem rude to the other person. It happened to me that when I was studying in Japan I lived with a host family and had to take the train every morning to go to university and there were two Japanese girls who always looked at me in the wagon; and it wasn't a few months before they smiled at me and greeted me from afar. All that time I did not know if they looked at me in a good way or in a bad way, which can be really scary when you are alone in a place that you do not know well. I just want to tell you that when you look at a person, even if they are not foreigners, you should always make sure they know that you have no bad intentions; a smile or a look can say too much.

🖤

I'm really glad you guys did this I see so many people online talking about stop Asian hate it's good to see someone from Asian descent to focus on racism from the other side

I loved your reflection and how you actively corrected it after becoming aware, thanks for sharing that insight! :)

The fact that there is a derogatory word for black people in a country that has 96% korean and probably 1% of that 96% has ever met a black person is baffling to me! The racism in korea is loud and disheartening!

I had to pause the video at 2:04 because that was hilarious and wholesome. He literally thinks a fight with a black man = an automatic KO.

The fact that people use fictional movies as a reference for real life encounters with people they've never met🤦🏾‍♀️ 😂🤣 should I start believing all koreans are exactly like they act in dramas and movies??

there’s not much i love more than people realizing their mindset or perception of something is wrong and being open minded enough to change it especially when it comes to race or gender equality. so tysm😌💕

The girl in the black looks like a mix of bang chan(stray kids) and bam bam (got7). Shes so pretty and as a black girl I appreciate this content. Very informative 👏🏽👏🏽

Wow, I really appreciate this video. We need to have more discussions like this. The young lady with the green tipped hair is AWESOME! 😭

I never leave comments on channels that I’m subscribed to because I’m more of just a quiet observer type, but I had to say something just this once. This video has really touched my heart. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to travel to southeast/east Asia to experience the food and the beautiful culture. But the one thing that had always stopped me was my fear of how I would be treated if I went to any homogeneous country due to the color of my skin. I’m from south Texas and I still experience casual racism almost every day. This video was comforting to me. Seeing that younger Korean people around my age are even slightly aware that it’s not okay to judge people based on what they look like has, in a way, given me a breath of fresh air. Racism isn’t going to go away over night, but this has certainly given me hope. When COVID-19 calms down, I will most definitely be looking at flights to Seoul. Thank you so much for sharing this, you will never know how much this has lifted my spirits for the future.

I'd just like to say this: no matter what the pigment of your skin is, you're all beautiful people and even if other people have racist views, I do not and I love you all. 💜 *Edit:* I fixed a typo.

As a Filipino we love Africans. And I love black people. Because skin doesn't matter the important one is personalities. Black people are humans too we should respect them. We filipinos love black cause you guys are my brothers and sister. Sending love from Philippines💜💜💜💜💛💛💛

I remember having two asian friends who were foreign exchange students in highschool. One was from Thailand and the other was from Hong Kong. I smiled because I remember how I scored the same in math as my friend from Hong Kong on the ACT and she said, "why did you get the same grade as me? I am asian!' and I laughed so hard because I never thought I would hear her say something like that. I miss them both but I am still friends with them on facebook.

It hurts to see Sam who was bashed by Korean people for calling out blackface once again. I hope he's doing ok. As a French black person, I personally hate the N word from the depths of my soul. Once one of my neighbors used it towards my mom when I was a kid, I am shook till this day. I really cant stand to hear it and dont understand why Black people (Afro-americans mostly) will take an insult and use it like it means bro or man. I dont feel like any other community should use it but dont act surprised when they do coz you have made the use of it so "normal" and "mainstream", it really pains me

Guys unfortunately these are things that happen everywhere. For example, I have lived in Italy for 8 years now and often on the streets or when one day I went to a new school, people looked at me and laughed saying things like "Negra" or "go back to your country". I feel bad about this because I feel they will never accept me and in fact now I have few friends and I don't really want to go out even if my mother (I was adopted) doesn't understand why I don't want to. Probably next year I would like to take a vacation to Korea for 1 month as I wanted to do university there. I just hope to get strong and accept this reality that is sure to change. I love your country, and of course mine where I am currently and the one where I was born. I apologize too late for probable grammatical errors but I am trying to commit myself to learning English well. Sorry 😊

I love when we all learn from each other from different cultures. Racism can only stop globally with more education. Will, it stop, maybe not. If one person opens their mind and heart about another culture it's a start. I want to thank the two ladies in this video for taking the time to learn, about this issue it's mass brave to do. Massive Respect.

It's true about the media. And it's not only people showing us in a bad light, it's sometimes then not showing us at all. And I hate to say this but, sometimes I wish my hair was different or my skin was a little lighter because of how they normalize it. And it's so messed up. They even have filters that lighten your skin and make you look "prettier". All I have to say is... No matter what race, culture, religion sexuality or gender you are, you are still beautiful in your own unique way. And everyone has little similar qualities as for like other people.

As a black girl, unfortunately, I am still doubted with my educational level. People expect me to be average or low when it comes to my intelligence level, so when they see me in top set maths, they are surprised. Someone once said to me “I never knew black people could be smart” and it broke me because this is how I am viewed by some people. People are also stunned when I tell them about my rich family and close relations to the kenyan president and his family. This also recently occurred from my own family when they found out that I had got As and A*s in my studies. They would say “i never thought you’d get that high!” Or “I’m so surprised!” My race shouldn’t define my mental abilities. Nor my physical either.

Exposure is important but independent research is also necessary in order to combat ignorance/lack of exposure. It is not our job to educate the world on how to treat people right and respectfully. Everyone needs to put in the work.

I swear, i don’t know if he knows or if he just does it cos he’s young, but my cousin used to make fun of me for watching anime and being so invested in Japanese and Asian culture. Mind you, we come from a black family. But he would speak gibberish, saying it’s Chinese, call me “Chinese girl”, say “keep your dogs away from her, she’ll eat them”, etc etc. and i was always so damn furious because that’s not something you should be saying to anyone, especially Asians or to someone who is either deeply interested/invested in Asian culture or IS Asian, because not only is it offensive, but right off the bat, you’re making Asians out to be only Chinese and you’re forgetting that there’s Japanese, Korean and other Asian countries too. That’s something I’ll never forgive him for. And it’s the same thing with black people. Black people are made fun of and “meme’d” and stereotyped so quickly, getting comments similar to the ones Asians get. And it kills me that there’s so many rappers out here that are so vulgar and blatantly contributing to the stereotype us black people are associated with, such as gangs, gun violence, killing, sex, money, etc. not all black people are into that and are like that, but because the music videos and movies show black people associated with that stuff, we’re often thought of as dangerous and stuff, and it makes me doubt that i can comfortably live my dream in places like Japan or Korea.

Hi I’m so grateful for you making this video

Guy in the white shirt was ready to find whoever said it and throw hands and I love him for that

I think the " black bro/sis" thing should be seen as negative. Though, the intentions behind it are supposed to be positive. That term is stereotypical. Its like thinking all Asians are smart or all white people are rich. Its a positive thing for them to be considered as, but not every person in those groups have what those stereotypes say they do.

What a good way to use your platform, educating the next generation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I genuinely want to visit South Korea but I am shit scared of how my experience will be considering the fact that I’ve listened to a lot of black peoples experiences.

This breaks my heart, although I already knew it existed to an extent. I love everything about the Korean culture, I've been learning the language and often visit the Korean church near my town, as well as shop in the markets. My dream was to one day visit Korea or even live there. However, seeing this really discourages me and I wouldn't want to put my kids through this type of treatment :( I guess we will just stay here in the U.S. and continue to get to know the Korean community here. Also, I love this Channel so much!!

So good that you show this. Let's teach the new generation that all colors are equal. Thank you very much and a big hug from the Netherlands

You guys rock, thank you for this video. It means a lot to see other people taking on this duty of educating people on these issues because most of the times the burden is placed on us black people. I’m also glad that our generation isn’t afraid to speak up and question things that previous generations never used to question.

Growing up in the states and a predominantly white area, I still can’t honestly recall my first interaction with those of a different race because my parents just said “we are all human, we may look different, we may experience different things, I should never treat someone differently or rude just because of that.” Compassion, kindness, and love is so easy to give, the world would be a better place if we could focus on that

Thank you for addressing it... Because most Koreans like to pretend it isn't happening or act like they don't know what they are saying.

Then theyre complaining about Asian Hate in América 🥱🥱
