I (white guy) wouldn't say I was discriminated per se, but in a country that's probably 99.5% monoethnic you do end up feeling like a distinct outsider from time to time. I found that people were generally friendly and helpful, but I also studied Korean hard before I moved there and during my stay.

Businesses can arbitrarily reject you as there are (seemingly) no protections. I saw a (white) guy from Uzbekistan get rejected from a club for no reason other than his nationality.

Black people definitely experience racism in Korea. Not exactly like in the US obviously but it's a real phenomenon that people tend to dismiss.

Dude, black people are are not treated better in Asia than the US, get real.

I didn't say it was better or worse, just that it wasn't exactly the same. I just pointed it out because it's something that tends to get dismissed when people discuss SK issues.

Really funny to reflexively insist Asian people are anti-Black in a way that makes it clear you're probably extremely racist.
