opinion We read about Lincoln’s chronicle. According to the history, many years ago, in America. There was selling, ignoring, mistreating slaves as black people. White people enjoyed it. But Lincoln made it changed. It was big deal. I can’t deeply feel the pain of the black people. But in Korea, we have a same history by Japanese. So we can understand them. Anyway not only black people but also yellow poople have been ignored little in race. I hope it will be disappear clearly.

Discussion What kind of discrimination still exist in Korea ?
