1) Why do so many asian girls date white guys? Are asian guys as interested in dating while girls?

From The Unlikely Expat:

"Korean guys often complain about how eager Korean girls seem to date outside the culture."

"Many Koreans also regard women who date foreigners as being immoral and contemptible. That’s putting things politely."

"I was shocked by the hostility I was met with for being a white dude and just walking around in Seoul with an Asian American friend who happened to be female. And she wasn't even Korean, or Korean-looking..."

"Korean men, however, are often quite interested in sleeping with white girls and other non-Korean women themselves."

What do you think of the observations by an ESL teacher in S.Korea? He says many of the same things about his experiences in Japan too.
Do you think that S.Korea is quickly becoming more globalized (more multicultural)?

Is trying to prevent someone from dating outside their culture a type of racism?


See you in class!
