This is wrong on SO many levels. Where's the love? Charity? Common Sense?

Scrapping HIV test for native English teachers 'unacceptable'
Scrapping HIV test for native English teachers 'unacceptable'

(I don't feel comfortable posting the whole thing, please click the link for the full piece with comments)

A Christian group has blasted South Korean government’s decision to scrap the mandatory HIV test for native English teachers, saying the decision was made “without public consent.”

Well the actual issue has nothing to do with discrimination...

Korea wants to protect it's citizens from AIDS to it had a policy of screening all foreign sourced Language teachers.. English teachers from the US or England or Australia might have AIDS so their Government had a policy to screen them as they came in to teach English in Korea.. Seems one of the teachers got offended by it and launched a case against the Korean Government over it... if i was a Korean citizen i would want all foreigners screened for AIDS if they came from a country that already had the disease present..

So a totally reasonable and non racist policy is defeated by lawyers and now Koreans run the risk of contracting AIDS...

Think it should be up to the country allowing people in on what screening they do.
It is their business what the perceived threat is to/from each people group, and how they utilize their resources to mitigate it.

I'm also okay with it. Think it should be up to the country allowing people in on what screening they do. This is a spreadable disease.

Koreans already have AIDS spreading among Koreans. Koreans who have lived abroad. Koreans who have traveled abroad etc. Koreans are not required to get any AIDS testing. The AIDS test almost doubles the cost of the required health check.

The AIDS testing is 100% racist and came about as a result of online rumors and speculation and has not one shread of fact behind it. It's based on racism and unChristian principles. Read the comments on the article.

Korea is supposed to be a democracy, yet here is supposedly Christians saying the majority should trample on a minority in whatever way they like. This is SO unBiblical it's shocking.

True, it is their business. I can accept that. I cannot accept the racist Christians and unBiblical policies.

Koreans already have AIDS. Koreans give each other AIDS regularly.
There is nothing Christian about this.

So what ?
The world / countries / are not Christian.

This is a group claiming to be Christian. We are not going to convert the world by being like the world or being labled racist which is what is happening in Korea.

I cannot even get a Christian response from this forum.

Jesus is surely coming soon. Christians don't follow the Scriptures. Love is gone. Racism is now "acceptable" or "justified." Sodom and Gomorrah would be proud.

There is nothing racist about the policy of checking foreigners for diseases before allowing them into your country.. It is insane how people ascribe racism to things that are not racist at all... People are not responding because there isn't any real issue at all...
