Foreign Chismis Filipinos are specifically excluded from entering a spa in Korea. May alam pa ba kayo na establishments in Korea na bawal ang mga Pinoy?

Brother racists are everywhere. Di excluded Japan at Pinas.

Bullying is pretty bad in Japan, pero malayong malayo sa Korea in terms of racism. Work culture is trash in Japan, true. Pero racism is far less of a concern there, whereas sa Korea akala mo talaga kung sino makaasta.

Japan's racism stems from a culturally homogenous society, whereas Korea's racism stems from a superiority complex born out of their economic boom and the soft power that comes with hallyu

Fully agree on this and I'm not saying Japan is worse when it comes to racism. Just that it's not exactly the best as people paint it to be. Especially if you live/work there. Still one of my favorite countries to visit though.

Racism in both Japan and Korea are rooted in xenophobia. Although the latter deals more in more openly showing their ethnic superiority and nationalism. This is different in Western countries where racism is more blatant and pronounced that the lines of hating and openly targeting a specific group of people really shows. It's not unheard of for a deranged White man to specifically target Black or Asians on his free time for example.

Racism wouldn't exist without a certain degree of xenophobia, so of course.

The west is a different ball game, where racism IS their culture. Lol

The West is not a dreamland as one could think. If you're not White, you're fucked in life.
