SEOUL — Despite ongoing efforts to embrace multiculturalism in South Korea, racism against non-whites and non-South Koreans is still common here, particularly in the job market for English teachers. An advertisement looking for teachers to work at an English camp was posted on Seoul Craigslist on Tuesday. Online commenters complaining about the ad pointed out that such discrimination was still legal in South Korea. Over the years, numerous job ads looking specifically for native speakers that are Caucasian, or excluding people of African or Asian descent have popped up. While the issue has been raised over the years by local media, whites-only ads continue to surface.
