By intense nationalism.. I simply mean that consciousness of the nation (which in Korea is generally defined by race) and national identity is high.
Though of course Im not saying that all Koreans are racist... just that the society in which they live predisposes them to racism moreso than say, Japanese society.
Experience with Korean people?... I dont think its relevant as Im talking in generalities about society rather than individuals.. but for what its worth, I dated a Korean once, and have friends of Korean heritage (though they arent Korean). I have some friends from South Korea too... but they arent close friends.
