Q.A. KOREANS RACIST, RUDE AND WORST!
QUESTIONS:


Is it true that according to opinions of most native speakers, koreans are:1. racist2. Korean students and managers to be the worst.3. The Koreans have this superiority complex which seems to hinder any honest effort to build a good rapport with them.4. The Korean managers will tell you what you want or need to hear, and then deny or fail to follow through with their promises.They would rather replace you with someone else as opposed to giving you that raise they promised.5.Their business ethics are somewhat unethical6. Japanese to be the most polite and understanding when teaching English. Their word can be taken at face value.


ANSWERS:First of all, Koreans are NOT RACISTS.Some old people might act with a sense of racism, however that is not out of bad intentions;they're just unfamiliar with foreigners. I have also experienced rude attitudes or staringswhen I was in US, Europe, etc., so I believe that is something the young people must endure.Secondly, it is just unbelievable that Korean students are considered to be the worst among many other Asian countries! As a Korean student myself, I have met a lot of teachers from overseas, and all of them were like " wow, Korean students are so passionate, enthusiastic, and do their bests on studying." Maybe some students might be rather unpassionate about their work, but every country has such students. I'm positive that Korea has the least amount of such students.About the managers, I cannot deny that some are rude and unrespectful of foreign workers,however, more and more people are trying to adjust themselves to the global standards.Well.. I'm not even sure what 'complex' you're talking about, but I guess people all have their complexes and that might interfere in making good relationships with others. I don't get why these questions are only referred to Koreans.Again with the manager thing. I'm not really sure of what's happening in the business world in depth, but I am quite confident that Koreans aren't that bad bosses...No our business ethics are somewhat exceeding all standards in good ways.About the Japanese people being the most polite and Koreans the worst,I guess that depends on which person from each country you've met.I can't believe that someone's trying to set Koreans up this way.Also, it is hard to believe that the person who wrote the article is even Americansince I've never seen such words or phrases used in America when I was living there.Anyway, I hope this answers all your questions,and have a good day.
