Take the Olympics, for example. People root for their own countries' players during the Olympics, and when those players fall, they root for their own regions' players. That doesn't mean they're prejudiced against people of other races - that's just sports in a nutshell.
Saying that rooting for foreigners is racist is equivalent to saying all people are racist. In that case, it's a moot argument.

While I probably wouldn't have really payed attention to it myself, this view point is certainly racist. It's not just racist to put one group down over another, but also racist to support one group above another. So you aren't being what people typically view a racist as, but you are changing your opinion based on race.

You aren't being racist towards me because I'm not Korean there's no way for me to actually be offended, I'm actually trying to educate you in how you're coming off as racist just in case you decided you wanted to not sound like a racist.
Since you clearly don't care how you're coming off there's nothing left for me to discuss with you.

You're easily offended, I get it, but it's nothing compared to the offensiveness of saying that people who prefer to watch foreigners vs. Koreans rather than Koreans vs. Koreans are racists who strictly cheer for people of their own skin color.
Don't start fights you don't want to finish.

You obviously just don't get how you're coming off to people.

No, because no one's leaving because there are only Koreans left - they're leaving because there are no foreigners left, which is the difference that you fail to perceive. Hating Koreans is refusing to watch tournaments in which they participate - no one has ever done that. People leave because there are no foreigners left, which is the reason they leave when the remaining players are all Korean.

Except no one has EVER hated on Stephano for being French. they hate on him because of the way he plays. There's a huge difference between saying "Stephano sucks" and "There's only Koreans left? I'm leaving or I'm going to complain."
Do you see that?
