rdr...you are generalizing and just too patronizing. When I flew in KAL some years ago I met an Ethiopean guy ex-SQ who told me that the SEAsian Chinese were the most accepting of him whereas the Indians shunned him while the white blokes generally ignored him.

In Korea, the Koreans generally have come around accepting dark skinned people ( intermarriage with dark skinned people is still not well accepted ) as this Ethiopean guy did not suffer from any overt discrimination. He mentioned that he was happy that a SEA Chinese chap was most helpful when he needed assistance in some matters. He found yours truly to be one of the few Caucasian he counted as friends even though he lived in the big US of A!
