I will never understand the blatant hatred towards refugees. I was and am still surprised by the number of people who just indiscriminately hate refugees in Germany (although they are often a small minority).
These are just 561 poor human beings from Yemen. They probably don't want to be in South Korea either. They come from a poor, war torn country. If nobody would mention it, nobody would even notice them. I really can't imagine where this hatred is coming from, maybe somebody from south korea can chip in. Why do they even care? My bet is that it's like germany, where i think the real issue is not the refugees but more fundamental problems expressing itself through the hate for refugees. But I've also heard some personal stories of people experiencing racism in south korea or in south korean companies. So I don't know.
There are quite a few refugees where I live (Karlsruhe in Germany), every day I pass one establishment for young refugees without parents and a general refugee institution. Sometimes in the night at 3am. Never had a problem. It also seems like especially the young refugees without parents are integrating quite well.
- howiroll 8y agoWhy should they? South Korea never invaded other countries in the age of imperialism. They never did grusome things the West did to Africa, which is partly the reasob why those wars came up in the first place. They already have 30m (more than half of their current population(50m)) potential refugees from North Korea. Those people alone could make South Korea bankrupt in a second. They collect heavy taxes to prepare for them. Everybody is poor. They can’t embrace every one of them.
