Meanwhile I been through comments full of criticism. please we should not mask any society for indivdual acts. We should discourage individual crimes but should not blame the whole society. I am really sorry for what published and wrote against Indians and I can feel their emotions. On the other hand SNU has a big community of Pakistan students (specifically in engineering field), who are well mannered with a good character. I discussed the incident and most of them condemned the act and even they expelled the culprit from their company. Even their religion is quite streak against such kind of acts. So we all should not blame a society by someone act because every society has a small number of such peoples. Let’s make the world more beautiful with love and respect. Please stop abusing to any society in the world. Best wishes and love for all……

this is so pathetic. feel sorry for Indians for getting this thing. If its true, then i feel bad for this poor Pakistani fella. its foolish to get trapped by Korean mini skirt smoking hot chicks, for him it’s ok to sexually harrass “oppas” and are so hypocrites about others’ “harassment”. for anybody out there thinking of coming to korea, mind that Korean chicks are known to file against their boyfriends’ “sexual harassments” .
and the fu*ked up community is no better also. discrimination is seen everywhere. you can’t join the community of afterclass activities. i came from the west and i had no difficulties to do the same in the USA. i thought korea was a cosmopolitan, but got wrong. you gotta be careful in korea with what you do, cuz anything you do does affect foreigners

That was the point I was making; that there is a large swath of Americans who are as foreign culture and ethnicity ignorant as Koreans. Some Americans would respond the same way on reports of an "Indian looking" perpetrator without knowing or caring that there are many non-Indian but Indian looking South Asian people.

The analogy with the Sikh victim after 9/11 was meant to show that cultural ignorance also leads some American to automatically believe that if you wear a turban you are an Arab Muslim.

Unfortunately, we probably have more people in the U.S. who act out violently on their ignorance.

#1. The indian attacked in the U.S. was not attacked because he was dark, it was because he was wearing a turban and the idiot who attacked him thought it meant he was Arab.

Who is the future president of the US No One?

SNU is in no way shape or form, an "ivy league" school. Sorry, but only Koreans would think such a thing.

And let's face it people, the majority South Koreans basically hate dark skinned people, peoples of the 3rd World and just about everyone else.

Let's not forget last year when Koreans ran cartoons in their newspapers of SE Asian looking men chasing down a young, innocent Korean girl with a knife.

America isn't perfect, but compared to South Korea, it's paradise for foreigners.

Why else would Koreans CONTINUE to immigrate there despite them being victimized by the white population?

Read what Hines Ward's mother has to say about South Koreans and their pathetic xenophobia.

And to top it all off, racial discrimination IS NOT illegal in Korea!

White folk shouldn't act so high and mighty about this. It was less than 2 generations ago that a black fellow was strung up under a tree for whistling at a white girl.

You would think that students attending an ivy league school like SNU would have the intelligence and social upbringing to behave properly against such things… but then again people are people.

Pakistanis are the worst creatures on earth. This is the not first case of its type and many incidents have happened before this. Koreans are in no way inferior in such activities. The world knows that one among the high officials of Hyundai car company was arrested in India for assaulting a receptionist. But Indians are magnanimous. They didn’t criticize the whole South Korea for a crime made by a single Korean. But, it is the other way with Koreans. Indians might be dark in their complexion but are white (pure) at heart. We know what the term “culture” exactly refers to. And we are proud to declare that only in India the culture is maintained still even in the midst of westernization. And also we are proud that only in India still the concept like chastity among boys and girls are given importance than any other countries in the world. So think before spitting anything out the dirty mouths. Jai Hind
