It discourages multiculturalism and would further tarnish Korea's reputation of accepting foreigners. I also would hope that these people (Filipino and Koreans) in that neighborhood could get together and discuss the issues instead of coming to such rash conclusions. One hopes~ I really hope it doesn’t get banished. It discourages multiculturalism and would further tarnish Korea’s reputation of accepting foreigners. I also would hope that these people (Filipino and Koreans) in that neighborhood could get together and discuss the issues instead of coming to such rash conclusions.

One hopes~
