<p>So yeah, I'm African (African-Canadian if you wanna get technical) and I'm pretty into Korean culture (the food, the language, the shows :), etc.) I even plan on taking Korean classes in college. But would it be weird if I showed up at a KSA or KASA meeting? I understand that the clubs probably aren't the same across colleges, but from your experience, do you think that these groups are welcoming to other ethnicities? (I understand that TECHNICALLY the groups are open to anyone, but I understand that things can be different in reality.) I have no problem being the only different one in the group (as I'm sure will be the case) as long as everyone else doesn't have a problem with it.</p>
<p>Oops, I meant “An AFRICAN + Korean…” in the title. Sorry for any confusion. And sorry if my post is hard to understand, I’m a bit tired (ok, a lot tired) at the moment.</p>
<p>There’s only one way to find out. Show up for a meeting, give yourself at least twenty minutes there and see how you feel. If you’re comfortable, stay the remainder of the time – if not, leave.</p>
<p>I speak for myself, but Koreans like new things, and they, for the most part, appreciate people like you.</p>
<p>If you happen to be Christian or Catholic, you can check out the Korean clubs for that. Generally, the people there are very open and welcoming.</p>
<p>Cool, thanks for all the responses! It seems like I’ll just have to try it to see. And I do happen to be Christian so I guess that opens up more opportunities. </p>
<p>
This makes me happy.</p>
<p>I said this in somebody else’s post but depends if its korean american group or korean international student group. the latter might be harder to get into. But either way I would try it out and see what happens :)</p>
