I've become aware of the emphasis on English earlier in the average pupil's like. I don't know when that trend began in Korea, but I wonder if these college students have not had the benefit of English instruction by foreigners. My point is, I hope that by association with foreigners at a younger age the racism might lessen and the pupil matures and learns more. I don't know how you cure racism except by exposure to other cultures, and that doesn't happen often in Korea, right?

Here's a question; why do all the cases of "fan death" occur in Korea only?
