The suffering for some 300 South Korean children is still continuing today. Why? Because those 300 children are Amerasian -- children of GI's who served or are currently serving a tour of duty in Korea. These children live a terrible life in Korea. Most of them were born without fathers, and their mothers cannot adequately support them. The luckier Amerasian children find temporary housing with Americans who are TDY in Korea. Many others, however, are street children who hide out from their tormentors, while others are living with their single mothers in desperate living conditions. They have no opportunity for higher education, and many drop out of school because they cannot stand being ridiculed. They are inadequately clothed and fed. The older children cannot find jobs for racial reasons, so they walk the streets to find menial tasks which pay low wages. Most Koreans believe in one blood/one nation. Racism is strong in Korea, and Amerasian children who "look different" are mistreated, neglected, and shunned by Korean society.
