Asia has serious racism, where have you been living? I'm not sure if you're talking about the Philippines, but if you are, then they've always had serious racism. Don't even get me started with how they react with fat people. Please don't pretend like they don't understand the gravity of that word when they clearly do, because that's just so ignorant. They say that as a joke, but it's still directed to people with dark or brown skin. So yes, they clearly know what they're doing.
Sure, Asia has many forms of racism, but what I meant by "serious" is that it usually hasn't reached the level of centuries of slavery and systemic discrimination based solely on skin color. I do think making racist jokes is ignorant, but as Asians, we often judge people by their appearance too. That doesn't mean we treat them in extreme ways, it's usually stereotypes, insults, or rude comments, which many people experience in society anyway. So some people ask: if it's just a joke, why is it considered so wrong? I understand, though, that for communities with a long history of oppression, those jokes can carry a much deeper and more harmful meaning.
The law should've change based on the severity of the crime rather than lowering the age limit, and I also agree that parents or their handler should be included in the punishment as an act of negligence towards their kids, also the bullying in Korea has been well known and severe for a long time I wonder why they haven't change the law at all.
I didn't know that there was a racist chapter I thought the author would be someone who won't discriminate since they wrote this type of story or maybe the artist did it on a whim so who knows? I live in asia and many of my peers don't take the n word seriously because they think it's just another curse word that black people gatekeep and some just di it as a joke, I think because in asia we don't really have serious racism nor that we have a certain curse word based on a person's heritage, so they don't really understand the gravity of saying that word, and it's totally understandable since they grew up in a entire different culture, so pls don't hate the author too much, I'm actually glad the Webtoon and the drama is raising awareness of these issues in Korea and I hope they can at least improve it
