Non-whites face discrimination in English job market > 영어토론방

1. I have seen that rich countries ignore poor countries and poor countries blame those kinds of discriminations.
Meanwhile, poor countries respect or want to resemble rich countries. That is a point.
In Korea, many people have a very narrow view of the world. For example, if Korean see white foreigners, usually
Korean think they are American. Therefore, Korean would think white people equal to American and they are rich!
Futhermore, Korean usually think American English is the most common English in the world. It might be true, but we
don't need to admire only American English!
However, especially Korean parents do not want their children to learn English from colored people! They might badly
influence on children in a view of fact that they are poor!!!
Fundamentally, we must respect to all mankind and try to appreciate them.
And then, we have got to learn many sorts of cultures in school.

2. Before I went to Canada to study English, I attended an English conversation class. At that time, my teacher was a
Canadian, so I was sort of disappointed. Because she's not an American. I was very bad and had a very narrow of the
world. For the same reason, so many korean do not want to learn English from colored people. Hence, many native
colored speakers mostly cannot work in Korea, and they do not want to stay in Korea, even if they were hired. It may be
natural, because so many people are discriminated in Korea and they can easily have bad memories about Korea.

3. As I described it before, I attended an English converation class in Korea. At that time, my Canadian teacher was very passionate, so I learned a lot of things and conversation skills, but there was a limitation that I could not completely understand English grammars. May be I was accustomed to Korean style of English. I guess it is good for people who want to study speaking skill, but not very good for people who want to study grammars.

1. I think the reason why parents don't like 'yellow' people to teach English to their children is quite obvious. People still have the idea that native English speakers are mostly white. Actually, it is true to some extent, and especially in an asian country, it is reasonable for people to assume that a yellow person that they see around them isn't likely to be a native English speaker because they have been living practically surrounded by same yellow people. This logic also applies to other cases. For example, people from the middle east are actually much less  likely to be native English speakers than white people or at least that is what average korean parents think. Of course, there should be some racial discrimination involved, but I think that the main reason is as simple as that. Parents want native English speakers and white people are more likely to be native English speakers than any other race. Therefore, parents are making a reasonable or rather convinient decision by favoring white people.

3. I think you learn live English when you learn from a native speaker. You get to learn the right pronounciations and English accent. One disadvantage is that a native speaker does not usually know what people need as opposed to Korean teachers. Korean teachers have gone through the same trouble so they tend to know what and how to teach better than native speakers. But experienced native speakers have no trouble with that, so it really depends on how experienced a native speaker is.

4. Although I said that parents are making seemingly reasonable decision, I don't think that it is very rational. It is not like parents refuse other races because they hate them. They are only being practical. So, it's really nobody's fault. I think the only way to solve this problem is by proving that asian or black native speakers are more competent than white people. I feel sorry that this is not fair but if they are just as competent as white people, parents will still prefer white people becuase it is a safer choice. But if black and and asian native English speakers make an extra effort, soon people will realize that they have been wrong and they will change the way they see asian and black native speakers. So in my opinion the way to solve this problem is to make an extra effort. Although this is unfair, sadly this is reality.

I just wanna say something that korean racism is stupid. who is ignored by other countries? that is asian but
koreans are raicst to black or half-black people.. isnt that stupid? actually even in states there is only few racist to black
what I wanna say is there is no way certain race can be inferior .. white teacher, black teacher that means nothing even if they are black they have way better english skill that koreans dont have
