An international view on racism-Hines Ward/Korea

<p>wow, you must really hate asians...I'm asian and I have many black friends.</p>

<p>But seriously, blacks are treated bad in Latin/south America. Even in the soaps there you see white/native south American mixes, never black people. </p>

<p>Asians aren’t really that racist…it is just that much of Asia has a colonial history, some of it under white rule. For example the Phillipines was under Spanish rule, Indonesia under Dutch rule, Hong Kong under English rule, Shanghai under French/English rule, Tawian /macau with Portugese influences. American forces went into Korea and told Koreans the whiter you looked the better. The white people affected common culture in asia there and taught everyone that the closer you were to white the better. With Golbalization this has since started to change.</p>

<p>But it isn’t a one way street. Blacks make fun of asian people’s eyes all the time where I live. I know an Asian journalist who went to Africa and the villagers threw stones at him but not at the other white co-workers. </p>

<p>Dude, at least Korea is changing. Russia, on the other hand, isn’t. Russians have more racist attacks.

<p>But seriously, most Asians born and raised in America don’t think that bad of black people. I should know, I’m one of them</p>
