I like to have joke, post rubbish, and at times laugh at idiots (I can be one).However, racism and hatred for others have never made me giggle.I have four children (24-30 years old). Two live in Korea, two live in New Zealand. All are have Maori, Korean, and European heritage. Two of my three girls are married to Korean men. The young ones are at uni, in NZ.To my point. There is a website called Koreansentry. They are a bunch of extreme racists. Most of them do not live in Korea. I would like you to check out the site. Take time to check out all the hate they publish.To counter this, there is a blog that goes by the name of Koreansentryracism.I would encourage you all to comment. The blog owner is doing good things.Personally, I am so tired racism and hate. It affects me and my family.This bunch at K.sentry, need to be taken down.
Most of the posters do not live in Korea. Consoleman, the web admin, is a long time Australian resident, most of the rest live in America. Xcreaturex100 lives here, so does Wideawake (Hagwon owner).Most posters from far away and have no idea of Korea. Most have little idea of Korean langauge (except what there parents taught them)chasmmi, see above. A bunch of racists who know little about Korea now, or the language.
Come on people, where's the annoyance.Are you a *****, ESL trash, a jap, or even worse?Fight the hate.
Just imagine what they say in Korean that we don't understand.

And "He's handsome/She's pretty"Then they get even more curious and want to talk and ask questions about your culture and share their love of theirs with you, but no one in the group feels confident enough in English to do so. And the foreigner either doesn't know enough Korean, or isn't confident enough to speak in it and despite a genuine want on both sides to communicate and share and learn about different cultures, nothing happens.It's pretty sad, really. :(
Come on Fellas.I'm not going to lower myself to same levels. Let's debate at Koreansentryracism.I hate them with a passion, but I won't lower my standards to Korean bashing

Every time I think of this, it inspires me to redouble my efforts as an English teacher. :D
