Black woman enters supermarket, Koreans flee in horror

[KudistosMegistos]

A Kenyan woman describes the mass hysteria that took over a Korean supermarket upon her entrance.

One fine morning, pandemonium broke out in a South Korean supermarket, and customers and shop stewards alike scampered for safety.
Babies strapped on their mothers’ backs, others in prams screamed as their parents sought the nearest exits.
And it wasn’t a terrorist attack, neither was it a band of robbers who had raided the convenience store. No, it wasn’t a fire alert either. One Kenyan woman had just walked in to make a purchase.
“It was terrible!” recalls the woman, Everlyne Nyambegera. “Children were crying, their mothers dashing for the exits and all this made me also break down and start crying too.”
“I was so upset and I said to myself that I will never go back to Korea again . . . one of my aunties in Kenya told me I’d be mad to return to Korea,” she told Lifestyle in Seoul recently.

Perhaps they all went outside to check whether their bikes had been stolen.

The power levels of these racists were so high that even 2ch was appalled

“As expected of the nation with the world’s most severe racial discrimination.”
“What’s wrong with those Koreans…”
“She was wrong to go to Korea in the first place.”
“If she’d bothered to check, she could have found that out before going there.”
“If it’s Korea, it can’t be helped.”
“Why? Haven’t they ever seen a black person before?”
“Descending into chaos at the sight of a black woman – what’s wrong with these Koreans?”
“At least they didn’t rape her.”
“This is Edo period level stuff.”
“What a horribly racist country. Despicable.”
“Why do those filthy Koreans respond like that to black people?”
“As expected of pseudo-humans, when a real human comes to their store they freak out.”
“It’s the same reaction a human would get if he entered the monkey park at the zoo.”
“This is worse than an island nation like Japan. I guess they are cut off from the mainland by North Korea so they are practically an island.”
“An Indian friend of mine went to Korea on holiday and said he kept getting nasty looks and would never return there.”
“Well, Koreans are crazy to begin with. It’s foolish to expect any better of them.”
“A Joumon period level reaction.”
“But passing by a group of foreigners is scary isn’t it?”
“You don’t get this even in Japan’s most backwards countryside.”
“Did black people do something to them? Why do they hate them so much?”
“For a whole supermarket of people to have never seen a black person… pretty surprising.”
“I can imagine one or two freaking out like that, but en masse?”
“I heard a story about a black person getting into a pool in Korea and all the Koreans getting out, I suppose it must be true.”

And yes, I did steal this story from Sankaku Complex. Sue me.

Well, I can’t speak for all of Korea, but I’ve seen Koreans be welcoming of Africans.

A LOT of Africans are coming to Korea to study vs. other countries now, and a large amount of the ones I’ve met love it in Korea.

I’d hate to see how they would react to all the cute Korean Hapa’s over here in the states.

They were probably more scared of the fact that she was made of flesh and blood and not recycled plastic.

Did they specify which town this was in?

Can’t believe I’m the first to ask, but…pics?

We all know Koreans are the nuttiest people on the planet, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that the woman is simply seriously ugly.

Seoul.

I would’ve understood if it were in like Jeonju or something, but Seoul…

…at the same rate, if you read the article, you’d see that what she talks about afterward is mostly positive, and that’s the most extreme moment she’s had.

Crap, read Az’s blog, and see that kids have run away screaming from him in convenience stores in Japan. This kind of behavior is not segregated to Korea. Any xenophobic, single cultural society is going to freak out if something not like them comes near them, especially if they haven’t been exposed to that in person.

For all we know, she could’ve living in an area not prone to foreigners, like Mapo-gu in Seoul. If she was in Itaewon, like most foreigners, or even Hyehwa (where most the Africa students I know were), this would’ve never happened.

Reading this at work and can’t stop laughing, getting weird looks from customers.
My mom is Korean and doesn’t like black people, I thought that was just her though. I had no idea Koreans were notoriously racist. Though now that raises the question of why she got with my dad, seeing as he’s half-black.
They probably got divorced because she found out, lol.

Also Sankaku sucks, question OP’s sexual orientation etc. etc.

it was supposed to be a joke. I guess it wasnt really funny though. w/e, no offense intended or anything

[angelpalm]

In a 40 year old male virgin’s body?

[goodm0urning]

They were probably running to go masturbate.

I’m questioning why yOu dislike sankaku, place is like a k-on dakimakura with people collectively jizzing on it

[KingofSarus]

Hey, I like girls too, but I don’t be calling myself a “lesbian,” you know…

[simon]

am I really the only one who finds this hilarious? you guys are making me feel bad

[chirp]

Oh, I got you.
Well, just cause I like K-On doesnt mean I’m some kind of raging otaku. And I dislike Sankaku mainly due to the reason you specified. I can’t stand the majority of anime fans, they tend to be rather… annoying.

[Robin1613]

Lol’d. Korea YOU SO CRAAAAAAAZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Thunda]

I’d feel wierd as shit if that happened to me…Is my dick hanging out?..Did I fart too hard before I entered and shit myself??

I dont think there is a reason for anyone to not know about the fact there are different races of people in these times…I can see her getting wierd looks…but running like godzilla entered the store is nutz…Thanks for shortening the purchase line up, I guess.

[xX_Deus_Xx]

oh man can you imagine the shit storm that would happen in NORTH KOREA??

lmao do they even know black people exist there?
