How is that even possible? .__.
Its only seems impossible because you live in America, the mixing pot of nationalities.
Not only that, but because of how secluded each country is to each other in Asia, traits are often very specific to each country.
If you were Japanese and you came to Korea, people would single you out just as fast as they could single out a white guy. Trufax.
And then proceed to give him all kinds of shit for being Japanese.

Kitaek always seems to prove the point that America really is better off than the rest of the world in terms of friendly culture and opportunity. Despite the fact that many Americans appear to discount that due to their own disillusions >.>
A lot of people believe I am racist and have a bias against Asians.
I won't really deny it though.
I could start listing off all sorts of reasons and experiences that led to said belief.
But I could simply sum it up with what I said before:
Koreans would now show more racism and hatred towards me, the Korean who isn't like the rest of them, than Americans would to me, the Asian who lives in America. The problem is deep rooted in the overall culture that all Eastern Asians follow: conformity.
Everyone must adhere to the rules, everyone must have the same hair cut in school, wear uniform, cannot dye their hair, must always relegate a system of position, your entire language and vocabulary changes depending on the position of the person you're talking to in relation to your own. They'll take every opportunity possible to teach you to conform. If you're different, you're nailed down.
Do you know how difficult it is to talk to someone older than you or has a social standing above yours? The grammar structure and vocabulary takes a huge peak in difficulty. The tone you have to use is one of submission. Its ridiculous.
