Korean Stereotypes


Author: expatkerri
Description: Click here for more ::: I asked a group of nine students what they want to say to the rest of the world about South Korea, or more generally, about Asia. They address a variety of topics, such as being good at math, being asked if they are Japanese or Chinese, and also cosmetic surgery. I've been helping these students prepare for their journey abroad to the USA this winter, and we thought making a video would be a great way to make a memory of the time that we've spent together comparing cultures, thoughts, and opinions. I'm really proud of what these students have achieved already, and I know they will all be wonderful broad-minded teachers in the future. I was inspired to make this film after watching Lena Khan's video "A Land Called Paradise". Please feel free to comment, ask questions, and leave your opinions. The song is "Traveler" by Korean indie musician Soul Park. Here is Soul Park's English website where you can download this song and the whole album: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/soulpark (1 song : $0.99, whole album : $7.77)

Whats wrong with eating dog meat? Its good.

All my nephews in Korea are over 6', and all are under 16 years old. I'm 5'9" and considered short in their neighborhoods. @Chrispisz12, yes I do have huge #!@&, and my girlfriend loves it...

HAHA as a korean and because i don't live in korea anymore (canadian bro) i can totally relate to i'm not good at math but i bet i'm taller :D

sootrue i suck at math

i wanna meet u guys!!!

They forgot about Star Craft~

I know its not racist it's just annoying :c....didn't they ever learn the continent song D'8.... I had to... xD

are u serious? people have actually said that?? *face smack* that's not even racist, that's just not knowing Asia is a continent

these people are adorable. i love asians.

I went to Korea as my first vacation abroad and had the time of my life. I'm definitely aiming to return great people!

I think that extends to a lot of foreigners in America. I'm Russian and my family is Jewish and people often times say things like "She's not Russian, she's Jewish!" "Wait, you're Jewish? I thought you were Russian!" So I can totally sympathize with you, haha.

I will NEVER understand the whole eyelid surgery I think Korean eyes, well Asian eyes in general are nice looking.

...Someone has asked you that? Oh man V_V;

I hate it when people say "She's not Korean shes asian" or "You're asian?! I thought you were Korean?" By foreigners.

Great video! Simple but meaningful

Now I'm currious how tall that guy is xD!!.. There are stereotypes in every country that are just weird xD

what a nice video! :D all koreans should be proud from who they are. :)

I hate stereotypes :( everyone's happy until some twats come along and be racist and hateful, I'm tall and skinny and get laughed at? I don't care anymore :)

TALLER???

again, you can meet north koreans sometimes. I normally can tell the difference, because well you can see it from the way pple dress etc. so i wouldn't ask but it is possible to meet a korean from North Korea, not south, so the question is not as stupid as people think

it's true it's annoying but to be honest in other countries of Asia (esp China and Cambodia) you can meet North Koreans as well, so it makes sense to ask.

You get asked that? For real?? >_>

@1:39 Merong!~

This is VERY nice :) I'm black and I ABSOLUTELY love Korean culture and people even though some of them r kinda rasict to black people XD I think one of these should be done for black stereotypes also (forgive me if one was already done) :)
