South Korea is a one race country, meaning every Korean believes he/she and all other Koreans are the same race. Being Korean means you are nationally a Korean, speak/write Korean, and have Korean parents. Even the Chinese and Japanese are not considered equal since they have different countries, bloodlines, and cultures including language.
Chinese and Japanese have comparable attitudes.
Koreans in general are generally rude to other races. The amount varies.
There is no public naturalization procedure for a non-korean race person to become a citizen. Even Permanent Residenships are Very Rare, though work permits are common now.
-Please don't take offense TO ME about the following. I'm just telling it like it is.-
The worst received in general by South Koreans are races from poorer countries.
Southeast Asians
Indians (Asia)
Arabs
Africans/Blacks (sorry, if you're black-american)
Eastern Europeans.
Latin Americans.
Then come
Chinese (some respect for history, but they're poorer than koreans now)
Japanese (Korea had to endure colonization and general meanness from them)
Then come the Caucasians.
Koreans have become more familiar with world politics now, and actually differentiate caucasians now. Before they all seemed the same to them.
decent acceptance to:
US/Canada
UK
France
Most other Western European countries.
Slightly less for:
Italy
Greece
South America
But even after all that, they are all foreigners and will be treated as such.
I know this sounds harsh, arbitary, illogical, and stupid. But this is how it is. Most Koreans will never have a friend of a different nationality in his lifetime, even a resident Japanese or Chinese, so they end up depending on stereotypes, most of which, ironically, come from western media.
Maybe with years this might be fixed. I thought in the 70's that Koreans would improve by the new century, but change has unfortunately been slow.
YES! THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
And as in any other situation you should take this in a case by case basis.
I have written down a generalization of attitudes, this does not mean that the more educated and travelled Koreans feel this way, usually these people are embarassed by their own people, but a majority of Koreans ARE STILL THIS IGNORANT.
Try not to take too much offense, they just don't know better.
On the other hand, I could've lied and said like the Korea brochures that Korea is the friendliest country in the East. If you visit the country, you'll probably be treated better than as a stranger in most other countries of the world, but I wanted everyone to know that underlying that politeness and friendliness there underlies a somewhat different truth, which is knowledge I believe every visitor to Korea should know.
Discrimination exists in every country, including Korea. Some common forms of discrimination in Korea include gender-based discrimination, discrimination against ethnic minorities, and discrimination based on social status or age. Efforts are being made to address these issues through education, awareness campaigns, and anti-discrimination laws.
It is difficult to pinpoint one country as having the most racial discrimination, as it varies greatly depending on various factors. However, countries with a history of colonialism, social unrest, or deep-seated prejudice may have higher levels of racial discrimination. Countries like the United States, South Africa, Brazil, and India have faced significant challenges in addressing racial discrimination.
Some common types of discrimination include racial discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, and disability discrimination. Other forms include discrimination based on sexual orientation, religion, and nationality.
General discrimination refers to individual acts of bias or prejudice against a particular group, whereas institutionalized discrimination refers to systemic and structural policies or practices that uphold inequality and disadvantage for certain groups within society. Institutionalized discrimination is deeply ingrained in societal structures and can be more pervasive and enduring than general discrimination.
reverse discrimination or positive discrimination
If the discrimination is based on policies, practices, or structures within an organization or system, it is likely institutional discrimination. If it is influenced by the specific circumstances or environment in which it occurs, it may be contextual discrimination.

It is an evil country. Sorry about the discrimination, but it says it even on the news.
Discrimination in any form is discrimination. Individual discrimination is discrimination of one person against a group. Institutional discrimination would be a institution totally and wholly discriminating against a group or sect.
Covert discrimination is hidden or subtle discrimination. It is opposed to overt discrimination, which is open and obvious. .
Sure. The more people understand each other and see that they are basically the same the less chance of war or discrimination.
Protective discrimination helps to protect from social discrimination in the sense that it stops discrimination, or attempts to stop it, before it can even happen.
