What is your opinion about Xenophobia in your country? Does it really exist? Why or why not?
학생이 쓴 원문
Since South Korea is a homogenous nation, there is a certain extent of the stereotype of foreigners. However, I do not want to illustrate Xenophobia. There are two reasons. Based on my understanding, Xenophobia is valid when there is not only hatred but also fear of foreigners. I believe there are very few Korean; typically, my age group is not afraid of foreigners. There could be some hate for foreigners, but it is from a misconception. When there was an event of the mass influx of Afghanistan refugees back in 2020, there was a lot of hate speech. There were some disgraceful and embarrassing comments towards refugees regarding religion, ethnicity, etc. However, I do not see such action as Xenophobia. Since most Koreans encounter Muslim and Islamic culture from the media, which is mostly about terroristic attempts, many people had stereotypes of such religion and culture, which turned into hate speech.
