Don't Victimize Me!

In the strongest terms, I hope to disassociate myself with the following LA Times article — Foreigners hope to teach South Korea dangers of bias.

I have never "seen discrimination both in and out of the classroom" nor has the "the idea that teachers from abroad routinely use illicit drugs and commit crimes" ever affected me, because I dress conservatively, have short hair and no piercings. I wholeheartedly support the "government policy enacted 15 months ago [that] requires nearly 20,000 foreign English teachers to submit to HIV and drug tests, as well as criminal background checks not required of ethnic Koreans," not only because I am excepmt from them as permanent resident due to my familial status, but because having known many foriegn English teachers, I would not let them near my children.
