Recently, a video posted 2 years ago of a young Korean girl named Giannie Lee was widely shared on social networks. In this video, the girl was walking through the streets of a city in Germany when she was unexpectedly harassed by many bystanders. The reason is that she is Asian.
Asians have been repeatedly targeted for racism in Western countries in recent years. Many people, including the elderly and women, have been attacked for no particular reason. Therefore, when Giannie Lee‘s video was shared again by a user on Pann, many netizens expressed their outrage.
The OP added: “I can’t say that Korea is free from racism, but it’s not comparable. At least there’s never been a case of mockery and lynching in the face like that.”
Some comments from netizens:
- It’s Germany, and other countries in Europe are similar
- Uncivilized bastards
- What foreigners say about racism in Korea: They stare at me/ They hate sitting next to me in the subway
- Then don’t go anywhere!
- Looking at this, I think Korea is better… Even if there’s racism in Korea, it wouldn’t be common
- The situation has gotten worse after Corona. I live in New York, and I almost got hit by a black woman on the street
- Oh, I really hate it. It’d be great if 3rd generation of those people got ruined
- Hannams (the word being used by alleged Korean feminists to swear and diss all Korean men) here are crazy
- In particular, Germany’s social ethical standards are so low that all the children who drink and yell at the dorm all night are German
- Racism in Europe seems to be so serious. When I went to Europe, there was a man who suddenly cursed at my mother at the subway station then passed by
