Probably the best line in the strip: "When we hate each other" "we're taking valuable time away from" "hating white people." "And we don't wanna do that. Do we?"My understanding of the issue is that in the Unitd States there are Korean Americans who are racist against blacks, but I also heard that Koreans are the most likely Asian ethnicity to marry an African American. On the other hand, South Koreans are definitely racist against foreigners of darker skin color, and in reverse they generally lust for whiter skins. I see why they are like that, but I just think that they're wrong & misguided.This problem has a great deal of implications for Korean animation & manhwa. As I've said before, Koreans should stop depicting Asian characters with Caucasian looks. (And they look different from the real thing) I've observed before that the main characters in Japanese and Korean animes tend to be lighter-skinned than the side characters & antagonists. There is no need for that... Take a look at Nadia, for example. It's one of my most favorite childhood animes. There are 2 characters who look Southeast Asian - Nadia and Captain Nemo - and the only blond lady in the series has a very dark tan.<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w2rvfM3ALvo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w2rvfM3ALvo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LdUMsYzduv8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LdUMsYzduv8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>
