yes, this is korean culture (and other asian countries too)

we also expect white collar workers to be treated differently than blue collar workers. even if we agree that this particular treatment is unacceptable for both.

How should we treat someone (a Korean in this particular case) who doesn't wear his collar ? "Sorry i struck you, but you didn't wear your white collar. Better luck next time". What if a blue collar worker wears a white collar ? Is he excepted from humiliation ?

Treating people like animals makes you an animal.

are you unfamiliar with the term blue collar/white collar, or are you being sarcastic? i don't mind the sarcasm, i just want to make sure i understand you correctly.

you would not treat animals like that either, btw.
