So I'm majoring in Asian Studies / learning the Korean language in hopes of being able to become a teacher that teaches English to students in Korea ( South Korea to be exact ). I know it won't be easy, but it's something I really want to do. I'm not really worried about that though. Anyways... I'm mostly worried about living in Korea more than anything. Will there be Korean men attracted to me? Will I make friends easily, or will I be somewhat shunned do to the fact I'm not their own race?
I'm Hispanic, I have dark hair, and I'm very pale. I've actually been made fun of for being so pale by my relatives since they're so tan. I have almond shaped eyes. There have been numerous of times people have mistaken me to be Asian / have asked me if I am part Asian. and I had to tell them I wasn't. Even though I get this from people, I'm still worried that I won't find a partner in Korea who would like me due to the fact I'm not Korean. Because I know how most of them prefer to date/socialize with their own race. Or they'd never marry someone out of their race due to their parents.
I've told my parents about my future plans, and they support me. Although they'd prefer for me to be with a Spanish or Caucasian man. In the end they want me to be happy.
I really do love their culture, and I would love to be a part of it. I wouldn't be studying it if I didn't. I just feel like I won't be welcomed there.
Can any of you reassure me that I'm not jumping into something that I'll regret?
