Teacher rejected from job due to "Irish alcoholism nature"
Quote:
A teacher from the Republic of Ireland has been turned down for a job in South Korea due to the "alcoholism nature" of Irish people.
Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a teaching job in Seoul.
She was told by an agency that their client did not hire Irish people due to their perceived drinking habits.
The 26-year-old told the BBC that she could not believe the email was real at first.
"Usually when you apply for a job and they don't want you, they don't send a reply," she said.
"Or they tell you they would prefer someone from North America, because some schools prefer the accent.
"But this reply was a first. When I got the email, it was so abrupt and short. I actually laughed when I read it initially.
"But then I wanted to write back a really angry response.
"In the end I took a deep breath and sent back a reply, that was a little bit sarcastic as I couldn't believe the email I had received. But I haven't heard anything back since."
This seems fake, but idk how people can say you can't be racist against white people. You can be racist against every race and this is an example.
They're usually referring to when whites make up the majority of the power in that society. Koreans are the majority, so by that in Korea racism against whites can happen along with others of non Korean origin .
