I don't know where that happened, but usually white people get discriminated against more than non-Whites by the authorities and the media. This story probably made the news because it was one of those rare cases where the opposite of the norm occurred. But as your story said, the students demanded justice and the case was re-opened. Follow what happens, and I bet you the white kid who threw the first punch will get the worse punishment.

At its height, daily demonstrations outside US military bases reminded those inside that South Korean xenophobia extended to those who might be called upon to risk their lives to protect the country.

Foreign language teachers also experience South Korea's brand of unfair criticism from time to time. In Gyeonggi province, the local branch of the Korean Teachers and Educational Workers Union (KTEWU) released a statement squarely blaming foreign teachers for a string of sexual-abuse cases that occurred in English-language-immersion villages. The inadequate education, the lack of morals and the irresponsibility of foreign teachers all contributed to such outcomes, claimed the KTEWU - despite the fact that the alleged sexual-abuse cases involved South Korean English-language instructors.

Mr. Hwang, an ethnic Korean from China, was recently beaten by his Korean coworker at a construction site on the Seoul subway, being told to “go back to China.” He said many of his compatriots have recently been beaten by Koreans at the workplace.

With jobs growing fewer due to the economic downturn, hostility towards foreign workers is on the rise. With the daily wage for Chinese workers in the Sallim-dong area holding at 50,000 won for the last decade, foreign laborers are often made the target of complaints.

The head of the Migrant Workers Center, however, said in a survey of business owners, 70% said they hire foreigners because they cannot hire Koreans. He said foreign laborers do the “3D” jobs avoided by Koreans and are contributing to Korean economic development by supplementing Korea’s labor force.

This is a joke. American bases around the world are there to serve American interests only and to promote the American Empire, not for protecting the country. The soviet union fell two decades ago, there's no reason for american bases to still be operating around the world.

Communism was acting in Korea, just as Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese had ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores. If the Communists were permitted to force their way into the Republic of Korea without opposition from the free world, no small nation would have the courage to resist threat and aggression by stronger communist neighbors.

Kim Jong Il?

Taiwann?

Japan?

We still are in Japan because of WW2. We are still acting as guards for taiwann so China doesn't take it over. We are still in South Korea to protect them from North Korea.

By this treaty, the USAF are legally responsible for the defense of Japan and in return for this, the Japanese government has offered military bases, funds and various interests as defined by the Status of Forces Agreement.

In 1960, at the expiration of the treaty, the new Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan was signed between the United States and Japan. The status of the United States Forces Japan was defined in the U.S.-Japan Status of Forces Agreement. The treaty is still in effect and the Japanese foreign policy is based on these reciprocal obligations.

I hate to say it but when it comes to immigration and accepting different cultures, USA is better than pretty much any country out there with maybe Canada as an exception. Not that America is really great at it, it is just that all other countries sucks when it comes to immigration and how to handle it.
Racism in Asia is pretty rampage, and Korea is one of the worst offenders.
