    She has to be smart to get scholarship at nanyang. They aren’t going to give money out for free. They see something in her. More power to her

    This is a wonderful content in allowing black people to speak for themselves about their experiences including a black person hosting it. This way you get real answers. I've seen too many non-black or mostly white people speaking for black people saying how bad black people have it in Korea. Thank you for this and keep up the good work!

    It is what it is. 🤷 I'm not looking for acceptance. I'm too busy doing me: taking care of my health, money, my wife and my beautiful korean/black children. I'll be respectful as long as they are. All love here. ❤️ 🌍 🇰🇷
  • The only racism I've experienced so far (DIRECTLY) in person was rejection from places like karaoke spots or massage & beauty spots. As far as dating is just BETTER for foreigners in general. I mean I never had a problem with women here old or young. I did get fetishized a lot, but also complimented even more. But that really comes down to your actual looks than race. Just FYI I'm a dark-skinned black male from the states

    It’s really beautiful to see how the responses have shifted more positively over the years because I would watch videos like this and there was just way more negative things that foreigners, specifically black foreigners, would say with their experience in Korea but now it seems things are shifting so that’s amazing. I’m planning to go over there next year for university so hopefully I can add to the positive feedback.

    You know as a person who is both Black and Korean. I find both sides look at eachother and think we're so different but I find we are actually very alike in many ways.
  • I lived in S. Korea for almost 4 years and it was the best experience in my life... Better than being in America, and it was the safest I ever felt, very positive people great culture

    Please learn to speak Korean. Korean embrace everyone regardless. We try to do at our best when we doing things even amongst us or move to other countries. Once anyone start speak our language we let our guard down.

    I'm a Nigerian in Nigeria and if we saw a white person on the streets of Nigeria everyone would stare, it's an involuntary reaction, doesn't always translate into racism.
  • @malisha2116
    So happy to hear about their positive experiences! Thank you

    This makes me want to travel around more and more love the vids
  • 韓国だけでなく、日本や中国でも全く見た目が違う人とあった時戸惑うものです、それは差別からきているのではなく、慣れていないだけなのです。理解してください
  • As a Afro Chinese-Korean American, this definitely resonates with me.

    The interviewer is a really good looking guy and the hairstyle suits him so well!
  • I'm a South African currently doing my Second year at Dongseo University, Busan. Koreans especially the Ajummas would stop me and ask to touch/feel if my hair is "real".

    in Korea, at least, nobody hurts you physically because of your skin color unlike America and Europe

    "But that doesn't mean it's hate. So instead of assuming someone didn't like me, just smile. Nicer to be nice and see what people give back. Wow this really stuck to me because it's really about like your outlook how you perceive things, of course there are hateful people that are really just projecting. But there's no need to give into the hate just smile, love. I'd like to think most of Korea thinks this way beautiful country people constantly growing.. and then there's the older generations in every country c:

    The young girl who got the scholarship is beautiful and her Korean blew me away. The slim young man too. As a Korean American it made me really happy and also jealous cuz they are way better at speaking it than I am. I regret not learning it at a younger age.
  • mature black people, who factually say how it is. just because someone stares at you, doesnt mean they are racist, same when they talk about your hair or anything thats different, simply because they as black people are different there, nothing wrong with it, accept the fact that not many know about your race, if you want to be accepted and respected, give that out yourself first and teach them if they want to know something. for many koreans the only thing they know about black people, and white people, are the things they got from movies.
