Tim, some of the posts were definitely anti-American and those that were anti-froreigners were anti-American,too. Also, not every foreigner teaching in South Korea comes through recruitment agencies. The number of Canadians (70%) you quoted seems very high, but, even if you are absolutely accurate, that is only the number recruited by recruitment agencies from the source you used. Some schools never use recruitment agencies and others do not solely recruit this way.

It is ironic when South Koreans are anti-American and is definitely ungrateful and shows very little sense of history.

If it were not for the American presence during the Korean War, all of Korea would be united- under the Communist flag of North Korea. And we all know how "well' that country is doing.

Also, I find it humorous and telling when see a Korean on television speaking English, wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, a DKNY shirt, jeans, and Converse sneakers standing in front of a Burger King eating a Whopper and saying, : I hate Americans!"

I always laugh and think " You are more American than I am!"
