How to say this...
It's the racism.
In taoism and Buddhism there's this thing where white meant pure, and black meant corrupted. The yin and yang and yadda yadda. They believed in equilibrium tho.
But then, everything changed with ww2 and american colonization during the cold war. Nowadays, South Korea is heavily militarized, and the american army heavily influenced the korean culture. See bts, as an example, the name of the band means "army youngsters" (in loose translation).
The korean man are also deployed in Afghanistan and Iran and Iraq for the american military.
Therefore, in an indirect way, because of american influence, they also inherited the racism against black and brown people. But it's different? Koreans have a deep love for hip hop culture, not exactly a "cultural appropriation", but not far from it.
I hope I gave you enough to go onto the world to research it better yourself. I'm not an anthropologist nor am I korean, but I do like to read here and there.
Have a good day!
reality, stop asian hate died real fast when the vids of who were doing all the attacks got out.
Colourism. I read somewhere that in their society lower class people had to work manual jobs. Whiter/paler skin = upper class/ noble / modesty.
And also they are racist too so...
Why is it that in these stories the evil/bad characters are drawn and coloured in dark skin.
I have noticed alot am curious. Usually its all good mc is fait but when it comes to the gangsters or “bad” xters the skin tome darkens.
Why?
