Welcome to Korea Jewish White Bastards!

Found the pictures below on a thread at Dave’s cafe. The poster saw them while travelling during Chusok (a five day weekend). Don’t these pictures just make you want to come to Korea. Click for full size image. Needless to say, I’m speechless.

Wow. I’m guessing there are no laws in Korea on racism and incitement to hatred either then… That puts the “Japanese only” signs into perspective!

There are lots of laws in Korea (don’t know about racism laws though), but the problem is that laws are rarely enforced. Rule of law is a concept that has yet to get accepted here.

Interesting pics...that is shocking to say the least.  I also wonder if those people whose names are on the posters (?) would have a chance at using the libel and/or slander laws since the signs are in English would the courts recognize the provocative and insulting nature of the signs....Brendan over at Korealawforum might have something interesting to say about it if he sees the signs. 
BTW...i’m gonna link to your pics so more can see them via the marmot aggregator.  Maybe that’ll get some attention.

The leftists would use English-language signs in their various anti-American protests until they finally tumbled to the fact that some of the more rabidly race-baiting ones were proving to be somewhat counter-productive. After that they switched to Hangeul-only script to vent their venom.

These particular signs will stay up until Mr. and Mrs. Kim are advised as to just how really bad it makes Tae-Han Min-Guk really look in the eyes of the world … and we can’t have that now, can we … it’s all about image don’tcha know?

This reminds me of the Daejeon Hagwon banner campaign - has the mainstream English language media picked up on the story or reproduced any of the pictures...???
