We here at Korean Media Watch like dealing with rumor-mongering and myth-spreading with real numbers. Ben Wagner writes in his article “Abandon Discriminatory HIV Policy” in The Korea Herald about the problematic ways that the “AIDS” issue has been used as a blunt tool scare tactic to justify stigmatizing foreigners, then discriminatory regulations. The article also examines the shady origins of the “English Spectrum” myth, and how it was nothing more than a xenophobic response to essentially nothing.
