The Dodko Times, 2/22/11: "Parents Warned "Mixed Race Children" May Be
Terrorists"
http://dokdotimes.blogspot.com/2011/02/parents-warned-mixed-race-children-may.html?spref=fb

Parents of Korea's increasing number of mixed race children were
warned this week that their children may grow up to be terrorists.

"South Korea may face the threat of terrorism if its ethnic minorities
end up expressing their frustration over discrimination and scorn
through acts of terrorism", according to the research paper which has
just been published by academics at Seoul International University.

Officially Korea lacks major religious conflicts or – unless you talk
to Japan – a history of invading foreign countries, so according to
the report Korea is different from other nations where "immigrants
from Muslim backgrounds" and "former colonies" have often committed
acts of terrorism. However, the authors say that if the gap between
people's expectations and satisfaction levels continues to grow there
is a possibility that immigrants or their mixed-race children will
commit terrorist crimes rather than venting their anger through drink
and domestic violence as is more traditional in Korea.

As a countermeasure, the authors recommended enhancing discrimination
in Korea further by spying on immigrants, mixed-race and other non-
pure-blooded individuals through techniques such as telephone bugging.
Such measures wouldn't be required for pure-blooded Koreans since "we
are all one big happy family with no internal unhappiness,
discrimination or scorn."

Indeed there is no history of domestic terrorism in Korea - with
incidents such as the attack leading to the destruction of Seoul's
historic gate 'Namdaemun' in 2008, which was started by a disgruntled
Korean who felt discriminated against, rather than an immigrant,
officially being labeled 'friendly fire'.

However, in a conflicting report on immigrants also released this
week, 48 year-old Professor Kim from Pusan National University said
his research showed that one of the most rapidly growing sources of
perceived discrimination in the immigrant community is the increasing
number of research papers labeling them as potential terrorists.

But the authors of the original report dismissed Professor Kim's
findings. "You have to consider his relative youth and the fact he's
from a minor university outside Seoul." they pointed out scornfully.



For goodness' sake!
