how is the life of a latino in south korea?
474557
I was there with the army for over a year. During that time I met some south americans that were working there. They could not speak english or korean. They said that they somehow got their point across with their employer. Overall they seem pretty happy. That was like 9 years ago. I heard that now they have big latino colonies over there. \nA lot of Koreans are xenophobic. As a latino I was more accepted trying to mingle with Filipinos or by myself, than hanging around with other US soldiers.

Koreans are xenophobic. Afraid of foreigners. They won't let you into their circle and the y are very proud. Hope that answers your question.

The San Diego Area Government website (SANDAG) has a profile of the 2000 Census results, however, there isn't a race-by-race breakdown -- just the general demographics.\n\nSan Diego is a very diverse city, and the census doesn't ask, for example, if you're Somali or Chaldean.   Nevertheless, the city (and county) have large numbers of these ethnic groups.\n\nEven within a national group like the Filipinos, you have Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Pampangueno, Pangasinan, Bicolano, and others!   Yes -- that's within San DIego (there are over 100 dialects in the Philippines, although English is spoken everywhere).

Well OneRunningMan is correct on the culture side.  I on the other hand would have to lean a different way.  It all depends where you are stationed.  For the most part it isn't like the normal military over there.  Things tend to be a bit more slack than normal, but don't get me wrong I saw my fair share of article 15 thrown about.  Well I did happen to do the site seeing of the country, and meeting the local people.  The BEST thing about being in S Korea, is the partying!  Well that would be my best guess, since I don't remember most of my time there.  The big party city is Songtan which is right outside Osan AB.  Pretty much the Vegas of Korea.  There are smaller party towns around each base or with in a close distance.  Get to know soju and love it, know that Baccus is the best cure for a soju hang over.

I wish I could help, but I've never lived in either place.  You'll pretty much encounter racism and obstacles throughout your entire life...especially being a foreigner/minority, that's why you sometimes have to fight a bit harder than the normal person would.  But once you're a lawer you'll be kickin' major butt...  set your goals, and don't allow anyone to get in your way!  Good luck!, T\n\nPersonal note to "yosoyfantastico":  Can you evaporate into your own noxious toxic fumage now?  *Poof!*

People from the Philippines work in other countries to have a better life. Their country is full of corrupt politicians so it's getting robbed of it's wealth, and the economy worsens every year.\n\nI believe these people have the prerogative to do what they want to better themselves as long as it's legal. I have worked with filipinos and they are educated and learned people. I also know that US hospitals like to hire them because they can assign these people everywhere because of their training. A lot of these people came to this country legally and are being hired as Nurses, Doctors, Architects, Engineers, Teachers, Accountants, and etc.\n\nI also dislike what our friend, RENZ here is saying. That's a racist statement. You shouldn't discriminate people base on their race and country of origin. I presume the reason why you hate these people so much as to warn other readers is because you have been spurned by one. I wouldn't be surprised either if he/she left you because you don't sound like a likeable person, and the stench of hatred emanates from you.\n\nI have spent years in Asia and met a lot of people from different countries and am proud to say that Filipinos are very warm hearted and generous people. Even if they don't have much food on their plates, they would gladly share it with you. Even the poorest people I met would offer to share their food with me. I also have American friends married to Filipinos and they would be the first to tell you that you are very much mistaken about these people.\n\nAbout those people working in Japan as "sluts", I believe that the world has sluts everywhere, and there would be sluts as long as there are perverts willing to pay for the services. They come in different race and colors too if you didn't notice.\n\nWith regards to those working abroad illegaly, it's their choice, their risks and their thoughts of living in fear that one day they would be caught and sent back home. For the meantime, they earn their living and send money home to buy food. \n\nI am for people living and working legally wherever they are. I am for honest living. And NO, I am not a Filipino, nor am I married to one.I am an American who for years worked side by side with these people, and they never cease to amaze me because of their dedication for work. Overtime, my admiration grew for their kind, And guess what? These people I know speak good English too, and their sons and daughters excels in their schools.

If you are looking for the exact number of Koreans living in Los Angeles as of July 1st, 2006, I haven't found the answer for it, but according to the 2000 Census, there were 1 million Koreans living in Los Angeles.  However, 6 years later, it may be close to 1.5 million people now, but that's just my simple guess.  Hope this helps.

I know a Salvadoreño who left his job as a university professor and fled his country with his wife several years ago because he was persecuted by his colleagues and the local government at that time.  His wife went back there a few months later to escort their children to the U.S.  It has been a financial struggle because no U.S. institutions recognize his educational credentials but he has always been able to find work.  They purchased a nice home and raised their children.  The children are all bilingual without a trace of Spanish in their English.  My friend coaches soccer on Saturdays.  I think he they are Mormons

Yes.  I am reunited with my lover from 23 years ago.  We met in Korea in 1983, while waiting in the rain for a bus.  He was an Army medic and I was a civilian employee for the US government.  We got engaged in Korea, but then a lot of life happened and I ended up going back to a former boyfriend.  I had known former bf for five years at the time, and new lover only five months.\n\nWe both married and divorced and married other people and never contacted each other for years.  In Feb. 2005 he searched me on the internet and contacted me.  He was unhappily married and I was unhappily alone.  ;~)  One thing and another, and he ended up leaving a horrible marriage of 18 years and coming to live with me in April 2005.  We have been together ever since and now know that we were meant to be together.  Happy ending!!\n\nI forgot to say that I kind of made the first move, but there is a story there, too.  I was used to being hit on regularly--blonde, blue-eyed American girl in Korea, where male GIs outnumber females by thousands.  He asked me to go on a tour in Seoul with him, it was an all-day date, but he was a perfect gentleman.  At the end of the date, I asked him if he was gay.  And he busted up laughing and said why?  And I said because every other guy in country has hit on me in the first five minutes.  He said that he resisted doing that because he knew I would be intrigued (he is a psych major).  And he was right!
