Just like in Sweden, for instance, where you're less likely to be tagged as "foreign" if you're originally from Denmark or Germany than if you're from, say, Spain or India.
Perhaps the reason that Korean, Thai, Filipino and Chinese women are not represented on the above-mentioned variety show is simply that there isn't enough assimilation for them to go through (given their already Asian backgrounds) and thus makes for less interesting viewing? Though the article seems to suggest that their lack of representation has something to do with the aforementioned sex-slave policy...?
