Racism is interpreted by Hyung-Su H.

Racism in my opinion is defined by the person whom is receiving racism. Racism can be expressed in many forms such as verbal forms and also physical forms. If the person receiving racism feels discriminated and unfair than that would be racism but if not I could be seen as a difference in culture. One example would be about my English teacher when I was in Korea. He was a teacher whom came from Canada. English being our second language is hard to learn to most of the students in Korea. This Canadian English teacher would make fun (racism) of the English we speak during class by saying we should give up and pick another language to study or learn because our pronunciation was so bad. We were offended because to the other class next to us he would say that they were doing great for no particular reason when they were sound the same as our class. However when he says he does not like Korean food and can not eat any of the food offered by the school would just be seen as a difference in culture not being randomly opposing our culture.
