This is a story about a girl who's forced to live as a stranger in Korea, enduring racial prejudice. Tasha (korean name- yoon mi rae) is half African American and half Korean. as she grew up, she had a hard time searching for self identity.
Yeah, korea was a sort of narrow minded society colorwise. The situation is getting better though, i think it's still not better enough. feel sorry for her and ashamed for this :( Go Tasha!! U ROCKS!!
* Black Happiness by Tasha
My skin was dark from my past
People used to point at me
Even at my mom Even at my dad who was black, and in the army
People whisper behind my back
Said this and said that
I always had tears in my eyes
Although I was young
I saw my mother's sadness
Everything
seemed like it was my fault
Because of my guilt
I washed my face everytime during the day
With my tears I melt the white soap
I always hated my dark skin
why O why
Does the world judge me
When I hate the world
I close my eyes
I put my soul into the music my father gave me
I feel the volume
And fly higher and higher
Far away
la musique
(When I hate the world)
(Music soothes me)
(you gotta hold on)
(and love yourself)
(When I hate the world)
(Music raises me up)
(so you gotta be strong)
(you gotta hold on)
(and love yourself)
Time passed and I was thirteen
My skin was dark brown
Music doesn't judge color
They give me light
I lead my music
We lean on eachother
I don't feel lonely
Then one day
I was given a chance
I held on to my microphone
And suddenly I was on stage
I say goodbye to music and ask it to come back
Then I became nineteen
I have to lie
I put white makeup over my face
They told me to wear a mask
They said my mom's race was okay
But not my dad's
Every year my age was nineteen
During times when time stopped
I felt like I was in jail
And I leaned on myself
I spent endless, painful days
I ignored their warnings
And because I missed music
I tried to escape
But no, I got caught
I prayed all night
And now I'm free

And trust me kid, you are no where close to be able to explain to me the 'meaning' of Racism. However, it is correct your comment about the perception of difference which is inherent to our nature.
Just to say that 'who I am' does not matter much. I hope from the bottom of my heart that
Korea (well known as behind very conservative) opens up itself and tolerate more 'the difference'. I hope so, because I like Koreans.
Things are changing slowly because hip hop has really become huge in S.Korea. The bboy-scene in S.Korea is something that you'd be amazed at.
Anyway, racism exists everywhere, not just against blacks but Asians ALSO. It's just a socialogical dynamic that occurs when you are "different" in an environment where everyone else is the same.
It's an unfortunate reality.
Anyway, keep your "pity" to yourself.
Who the hell are YOU?
tasha is the best

It is really sad that she got discriminated because of her black roots....It is funny though because back then (a decade ago) Koreans were copying note-to-note the hip pop created by black people in US. I hope things are really changing nowadays otherwise I do really pity them.
XD watch her live.
