In culturally homogenous South Korea, tentative steps toward multiculturalism

South Korea has long been known for its lack of cultural diversity. Even today, the country is more than 99 percent ethnic Koreans. But things are slowly shifting, with more foreigners moving to the country and having ethnically mixed children -- which has presented new challenges for the government and the Korean people.

I'd like to visit these families to help them begin their multiculturalistic process.

It's interesting no matter where you go in the world. Bi-Racial children (cross culturally) experience some sort of discrimination.

Being korean and white in the US was tough as a kid. Those struggles have made me a stronger person as an adult.

multi racial children are the future and the world needs to embrace it
