Forgive my relative ignorance, but who or what is "2chan"?

-Chan sites aren't supposed to be like usual forums. They are anonymous and have only the most basic of rules. That's what makes them so mind-bogglingly popular. They are the armpits of the internet, that much is true. We talking about sites so uncouth that - as someone else mentioned - the word "faggot" is used as a term of endearment.

-Chan sites have so much trash talk that - memes and the odd sensationalist headline aside - such sites are essentially little more than background noise to the rest of the internet. In other words, don't worry about what they say because their opinions are worthless.

Finally, 2Ch is notorious for housing a lot of very right-wing men who are outspokenly racist and xenophobic. And the country they like to hate on the most is Korea (with China being second). So of course they're going to be extremely biased; that's just the kind of pricks they are. Since they are so biased in this regard that just shows that their opinions are even more worthless than usual. Just don't pay attention to them and don't care what they think and you'll live a much happier life.

This is really cool.

I don’t think 2ch rival Koreans as a racist.
The Korean government has refused some Japanese politicians entry to S.Korea without a cause a few years ago, S.Korean shipline refused Japanese visitors to ride a cruise ship for Takesihma(Docto), and a Korean killed a 95 year-old Korean man only due to admiring Japanese rule.
Another story was that there was a boy called Little PSY who was popular on the S.Korean TV, but once audience knew he was of mixed Korean-Vietnamese origins, netizens started to be abusive toward him, saying,"he is of inferior race origin!","Dirt-bag!", "Get out of S.Korea!" The incident appeared in the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shinbun that was famous of writing sympathetic account with China and North-South Korea.

although I will admit there are racism and xenophobia but it's not as big as Japan.

A fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries

In the bluer countries, fewer people said they would not want neighbors of a different race; in red countries, more people did.

The state department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Human Rights Uzra Zeya recently commented on a U.N. report on North Korea's human rights situation.

The department also raised concerns about anti-Korean sentiment in Japan, saying ultra-right-wing groups gave hate speeches and held protests in ethnic Korean neighborhoods last year.

The report also assessed social discrimination against Ethnic Koreans who chose not to naturalize continues in Japan, citing the difficulties they face in terms of civil and political rights.

During the year ultra right-wing groups held a series of demonstrations in predominantly ethnic Korean neighborhoods in Tokyo. Group members used racially pejorative terms and were accused of hate speech by the press and politicians. The president of the group known as Citizens against Special Privileges for Zainichi (ethnic Koreans and Chinese) and three others were arrested on June 17 when public altercations erupted in Tokyo between the group and counterprotesters. Senior government officials publicly repudiated the harassment of ethnic groups as inciting discrimination and reaffirmed the protection of individual rights for everyone in the country.

In October the government dropped a ban that prevented approximately 20,000 second-generation Brazilians from returning to Japan for a period of three years after being voluntary repatriated during the financial crisis. The residency ban was decried by advocacy groups who maintained that the government was “throwing out” foreigners during the financial downturn.

I question that map Washington Post posted it up, because if South Korea was that racist then they wouldn't be giving permanent residency for foreigners.

S.Korean national policy and its public sentiment are two different stories. Every country that has gotten economic power suffers from a shortage of manpower in manufacturing.
I've heard that especially in your country people don't want to be a blue-collar worker under the influence of Confucian. So giving foreigners permanent residency doesn't necessarily proof that S.K is non-discriminatory society.

I'm sorry, the following is not discrimination? not hate-based performance?　not anti-Japanese sentiment in S.Korea?

They killed the Japanese national birds on the road brutally in an anti-Japanese demonstration in S.Korea.


S.Korean parliament members stomped on the Japanese natonal flag.


The following is not hate-based education?
Some junior high school teachers in Seoul had their students draw pictures depicting each anti-Japanese sentiment. These pictures were displayed in the subway station in Inchon, Seoul several years ago. A Canadian male blogger happened to find the incident, wrote in his blog, and came to many people’s attention.

Volunteers cleaned the walls of shops and houses in a Korean district of Tokyo on Sunday.

About 50 Japanese and South Korean volunteers removed about 50 anti-Korean slogans. They included such messages as "Koreans go home".

A Japanese volunteer said the graffiti isn't good and it should be removed before the problem gets worse. He added that people should be concerned about this form of discrimination.

Protests targeting ethnic Koreans and hate speech are continuing problems in Japan.

The issue was taken up in a recent report on human rights by the US State Department. It pointed out that social discrimination persists in Japan.
