BUSAN, South Korea -- Some people are more sensitive than others, and therefore there is this never-ending debate in the foreigner (oh gosh, had I better say “expat”?) community over the extent to which Koreans are rude or racist towards people from other countries. Everyone has their own opinion, informed by their own experience, and it seems that we will never agree: Do Koreans hate foreigners? Is it rude to stare? Can you even be racist against privileged young white people?...
