The Race for Equality (In-class)

A. Summary

Opinion 1.
There is no doubt in her mind that Korea has racism problem. For example, English academy which is in Korea most likely hire white people. They don't hire the others such as Asian, black people even if they are as good as White people in teaching English. Many people have negative
view of black.

Opinion 2.
He thinks that Koreans' negative view comes from American T.V and American military. The blacks in American military make bad impression because they are in the military. It seems that black people are always being represented as villains. It's no wonder that Korean has negative view of black people. It can be excuse because it clearly shows discrimination of race.

Opinion 3.
He thinks that second speaker was missing the point. If we show in T.V, most T.V stars have white skins and some people having black skins are treated like crooks or simple-minded people.
Most of them are working low class jobs in Korea.

Opinion 4.
She thinks that some of people who comes from foreign country are trying hard such as learning language and working hard. However, we never really accept them because they are different. We should accept and them into our society.

My opinion.
I agree with the last speaker. We should respect them even though they are different or they comes from poor country.

I thinks that there is no easy and fast way to prevent racism in Korea. To prevent racism, we should try to understand them. If they appear in T.V show like documentary, it could help people to understand them. We should know that they are not much different with us.
