what was the author even trying to portray

i can’t imagine the situation in chapter 125 actually happening in korea. if anything it’s going to be the opposite, with koreans bullying someone of different nationalities (which we’ve heard about COUNTLESS TIMES) rather than a classroom full of immigrant students bullying koreans IN KOREA idk what the fuck the author was thinking when he wrote about this fantasy out-his-ass situation. if they wanted to tackle discrimination happening because of immigrants coming to korea he should have made it more realistic, and made it so the koreans are bullying the immigrants. because let’s be real, that’s what would really happen.

    also this portrayal of having black people call asian people monkeys and the teacher using the n word as retaliation. it’s just so unrealistic. people have not used monkey as an insult since damn near the second world war. i can tell u for sure Americans are NOT reaching for that as an insult, nor calling someone yellow…yet black people are still called the n word to this day. so it feels like a really weird dissonance to have 1/2 of the narrative feel real and the other 1/2 feel ridiculous. i’m sure asian kids who are minorities in homogenous areas do get picked on, but those are NOT the insults. i feel like american kids are more likely to pull the corners of their eyes to imitate monolids then have an asian kid act like a monkey??? the author should have done his research and at least found the more up-to-date insults for asian people before whipping out the still well-used insult for black peoplethis is only a small part of the big issue with this chapter but still, be fucking fr. it looks ridiculous as an american reader

    Remember the story says it's a small location in Korea that needed up beign full of foreigners over time meaning the amount of Koreans there would reduce so obviously don't be surprised the bullying will come from the mixed kids cause they're more

    Pls give me one example of this type of town that ACTUALLY exist in Korea. Give me ONE testimony. U can't. There aren't any. Uno what there are tho? Many non-Koreans (black, white, South Asians, everything else) that have gone to Korea and been treated like shit for being non-Korean.

    Cuuuus its a bad portrayal and spreads misinformation and racism in sk is bad enough so if such a popular webtoon gets taken for what black people r actually like… also people WILL learn from this and decide to fight racist black people with slurs. Like. Be forreal

    It's supposed to represent REAL life ISSUES. The bullying in Korea, the laws that allow children to do terrible crimes w/out punishment, the treatment of teachers. This situation is NOT a real life issue, they just wanted to b racist.
