I am planning to go and teach English in South Korea in two years or so. Like I said, I have semi-light tanned skin and I'm from south American descent. HOWEVER, I was born in the USA and English is my first language. How easy will it be for me to get a job teaching English in South Korea, including the racism?


Also, say I become a South Korean citizen, will I still be able to teach English, because I was born in the United States?

It is always very dangerous to generalize. Most Koreans are used to American servicepeople, who come in all colors. Since you are a foreigner, you will not suffer the same kind of prejudice that affects Korean citizens of mixed race.

As for whether you will be able to teach English if you become a Korean citizen, you will have to ask your employer. In general, Korea is eager for native speakers regardless of the color of their passports.

There is no racism in South Korea only the feeling of being not entertained when speaking in English.
