Safety in Korea vs America. Who wins?

I recently had a phone call with my aunt concerning her wanting me to return America. Her reasons were ethically motivated, believing I would be safer in America as a Black man than here in South Korea. I calmly explained to her the differences in culture of America versus Korea and how I am infinitely more safe in Korea than I am living in the States. When it comes to safety, especially as a Black man, there is no comparison; Korea wins hands down.

As a Black man living in South Korea, I have felt some mild discrimination, but none to the effect as what I would feel in America. I think African-Americans and Black people would feel very comfortable here in Korea, as long as you are on your best behavior and not bringing you with you. Korea has a lot of safety measures and protocols that make life here pleasant and safer than in America. Of course there are some incidents, but compared to America, those incidents are not as heavy, within the realm of safety that is. Travel, live, and explore South Korea and always feel safe wherever you go, especially as a Black person.
