You can bet this won’t be translated in any of the “knetizen” sites. But what causes middle school girls to kidnap and assault a fellow female student under racist reasons? Is it influence from the West or is it a hidden part of Korean society that encourages people to express their racism, in this case through violence and intimidation. The fact is Korean society is very hierarchical, and those who further deviate from the ruling group, older Korean males, become targets of abuse by those at the levels “higher” than them. So a young foreign female will basically have zero rights and protection. The Korean police will just brush this off while the young girl who was tortured will be mentally scarred for life.

Despicable.
Its a shame that the saying "More people under the bell curve" holds true. The more people there are, the more outliers there are.

Your post gave me the impression that the bullying were instigated by older males.

South Korea or any country isn’t better. They just hide it better by ignoring it. Some of the worst torture and abuse happened in these “safe” countries and what makes it worse is that the perpetrators are more likely to get away with it because the society wants to ignore and bury these incidents. SK still has a lot of horrible abuse of the disabled and their suffering is ignored by the government and most of the public.
