people’s protests are a hostage situation using citizens as bait,” “Chinese people, get out of Korea.”\u003cbr\u003e Until recently, extreme hate and discrimination were difficult to express publicly, but now they have penetrated deeply beyond online communities and into everyday life and politics.\u003cbr\u003e Professor Hong Seong-su of Sookmyung Women's University Law School, author of \"When Words Become Swords,\" which caused a stir in our society by preaching what hate speech is and why it is a problem, has returned with a new book, \"The Illusion of Not Discriminating,\" which tackles the issue of \"discrimination\" head-on.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book begins with the fundamental question: “How does discrimination arise and why does it persist?”\u003cbr\u003e The author sharply analyzes how hatred and discrimination spread by scapegoating specific groups amidst social crises, and diagnoses the nature of the crisis facing Korean society today.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, it vividly illustrates the issues of exclusion and hatred experienced by social minorities such as women, immigrants, refugees, sexual minorities, and people with disabilities in their daily lives through various domestic and international examples.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the author draws attention to how discrimination is instrumentalized politically.\u003cbr\u003e This article critically illuminates the dangerous mechanism by which politicians pursue political gain by channeling social discontent into hatred against a specific group, as in the case of anti-Chinese sentiment being mobilized to support the December 3, 2024 martial law incident. \u003cbr\u003eIt also persuasively argues how the former president's statement that \"there is no structural gender discrimination\" obscured the reality of discrimination and fueled social regression, and why, in this reality, the enactment of a \"comprehensive anti-discrimination law\" is an urgent task of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Illusion of Non-Discrimination\" is a \"citizens' textbook\" that covers almost all issues surrounding discrimination, from the definition and types of discrimination to the fiction of the reverse discrimination debate, the problem of religion and discrimination, and the specific content and necessity of anti-discrimination laws. \u003cbr\u003eThis book asks how the chain of inequality is becoming stronger while we remain complacently under the illusion that we \"do not discriminate,\" and what we need to do to break that illusion and move toward a society of coexistence. It will serve as a guide, offering deep insight and practical direction to all who wish to take the first step toward a society without discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e At the beginning of the book\u003cbr\u003e Prologue: Why Talk About Discrimination Now?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 1: What is Discrimination and Why is It Bad?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: A Story I Want to Share About Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Why Discrimination Is Bad\u003cbr\u003e Case: For those who don't see discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Defining Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: What kind of discrimination is there?\u003cbr\u003e Issue: Should we specify the target of discrimination or the cause?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 Grounds for Prohibition of Discrimination \u003cbr\u003eCase: Is academic background a personal choice, so is it justifiable discrimination?\u003cbr\u003e Case: Shouldn't criminals whose sentences have expired be discriminated against?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 Areas of Prohibition of Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Case: The Conflict Between Private Sphere Freedom and Non-Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 2: Discrimination: You Need to Know It to Fight It\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 Is Discrimination Allowable?\u003cbr\u003e Issue: The Anti-Discrimination Act for Persons with Disabilities: Why Are There Exceptions?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: Active Approaches to Addressing Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Case Study: Beyond the Uselessness of Female Police Officers: From Quota System to Integrated Selection of Men and Women\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: Does Prohibition of Discrimination Lead to Reverse Discrimination?\u003cbr\u003e Issue: Can Men Be Victims of Sexual Discrimination?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: Religion and Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Case: Can't a law be enacted that a particular religion opposes?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 3: We Need an Anti-Discrimination Act\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11: History and Current Status of Anti-Discrimination Law\u003cbr\u003e Issue: Are both pros and cons voices \"desperate\"?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12: The Anti-Discrimination Act: The Greatest Umbrella Against Discrimination\u003cbr\u003e Issue: Does anti-discrimination law restrict freedom?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13: Recommendations Instead of Punishments\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14: The Law Opens and Society Completes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 4: The Future of Anti-Discrimination and Equality\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15: Success is achieved without discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 16: What if we deny structural discrimination?\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 17: Anti-Discrimination Law and Politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: Towards a Society of Equal Coexistence\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eDetailed image\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.yes24.com\/momo\/TopCate5911\/MidCate005\/591043229.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Detailed Image 1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eInto the book\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Complex crises of various dimensions, including the economic crisis and the climate crisis, are threatening society, and personal insecurity is deepening.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, social crises such as natural disasters, epidemics, wars, economic crises, and mass unemployment serve as triggers for the spread of hatred and discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e A crisis is a crisis because it cannot be solved by conventional means.\u003cbr\u003e (...)

The Anti-Discrimination Act is also a basic law on discrimination that acts as an 'umbrella' for the various anti-discrimination-related laws that are scattered all over the place.\u003cbr\u003e The word \"comprehensive\" is added to the front of the anti-discrimination law, so it is sometimes called a comprehensive anti-discrimination law.

This book begins its discussion by clearly defining the concept of discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e The author explains the nature of discrimination through an interesting analogy.\u003cbr\u003e While being denied entry to a restaurant because you're \"wearing yellow\" is unfair, it's more of a personal misfortune that can be solved by wearing different clothes or going to a different restaurant. \u003cbr\u003eBut being rejected for 'wearing a hijab' is a whole other matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is not simply a matter of not being able to eat a meal, but an act that denies an individual's identity and deprives them of equal rights as a member of society.\u003cbr\u003e The author points out that it is at this point that the inherent harm of discrimination arises: the risk of causing personal humiliation and fostering social exclusion and greater violence.\u003cbr\u003e This book clearly states that 'discrimination' is an act of treating someone unfavorably in 'areas of prohibited discrimination' such as employment, education, and provision of goods and services, based on specific 'grounds for prohibited discrimination' such as gender, religion, disability, and sexual orientation without reasonable cause.\u003cbr\u003e It also informs readers of not only direct discrimination but also indirect discrimination, bullying, and other types of discrimination that are subtly hidden, helping readers to properly discern discrimination in their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Are there Chinese people behind the election

discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e The 'No Kids Zone' spread to 'No Senior Zone' and 'No Kids Zone', establishing itself as a culture that justifies the exclusion of a specific generation, and protests to secure the right to mobility for the disabled were condemned as 'selfish actions that use citizens as bait.'\u003cbr\u003e Slogans like “The Chinese are coming” and “Foreign workers are taking our jobs” are no longer unfamiliar, and hatred against sexual minorities, combined with certain religious groups, is the biggest obstacle to enacting anti-discrimination laws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor Hong Seong-su points out that this phenomenon is not simply a matter of individual prejudice, but rather a structural problem that is amplified by the socioeconomic crisis. \u003cbr\u003eIn the book's prologue, he writes, \"A crisis is a crisis because it cannot be solved by conventional means.\u003cbr\u003e (…) People often chose other options instead of this correct answer.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than joining forces to overcome the crisis, they are looking for an inappropriate scapegoat and shifting the blame.\u003cbr\u003e “This is what hate and discrimination are all about,” he says.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the author sharply criticizes the reality in which hatred and discrimination serve as the 'fuel for far-right politics.'\u003cbr\u003e A representative example is the 'China hatred' that exploded in combination with conspiracy theories about election fraud during the December 3, 2024 martial law and impeachment trial.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that this is not a problem that suddenly arose, but rather a result of our society's failure to properly respond to hate and discrimination over the past decade. \u003cbr\u003eWhile the government and the National Assembly hesitated, hate groups grew in strength, and now, in times of political crisis, they are attacking specific groups to solidify their positions.\u003cbr\u003e The author firmly states, “If you believe that far-right insurgent forces must be eradicated or are concerned about the extreme right-wing shift in Korean society, you must fight against hatred and discrimination.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Where is there a case where someone is deducted points because they are a

discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e The statement that “discrimination is a personal matter” is a clear example of this perception.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that the core of discrimination today lies in this ‘structural discrimination.’ \u003cbr\u003eWhile laws and systems that blatantly exclude certain groups, as in the past, are disappearing, the reality remains that long-accumulated social systems, cultures, and practices systematically disadvantage minorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author clearly explains how the nature of discrimination has evolved by comparing the blatant discrimination experienced by Hu-nam in the 1992 drama “Sons and Daughters” with the career gap experienced by the protagonist in the 2016 novel “Kim Ji-young, Born 1982.”\u003cbr\u003e Kim Ji-young's resignation may seem like a 'voluntary choice' on the surface, but behind it are the social pressures that put women in charge of childcare and housework, and the invisible structure of the 'glass ceiling' within companies.\u003cbr\u003e To dismiss this structural discrimination as an “individual problem” is to ignore the reality of discrimination and to abdicate the responsibility of the state and society. \u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that “denying the reality of structural discrimination has the exact opposite effect.\u003cbr\u003e He criticized, “Since each person can survive and solve the problem individually, there is no reason for the government to be interested,” and emphasized the urgent need to confront structural discrimination and establish legal and institutional mechanisms to resolve it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Why is a ‘comprehensive anti-discrimination law’ needed now?”\u003cbr\u003e The \"largest umbrella\" for comprehensive prevention and relief of discrimination\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Parts 3 and 4 of the book propose the enactment of a 'comprehensive anti-discrimination law' as the most fundamental solution to the problem of discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that while individual anti-discrimination laws already exist in Korea, such as the Act on Prohibition of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities and the Act on Equal Employment Opportunities for Men and Women, these are insufficient to prevent all discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e This is because the blind spots of discrimination that current laws do not cover are still wide, and it is difficult to receive effective relief even if you are discriminated against. \u003cbr\u003eComprehensive anti-discrimination laws serve as the \"largest umbrella\" to comprehensively prevent and remedy discrimination that can occur in almost all areas of life, including gender, disability, medical history, age, national origin, race, and sexual orientation.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that this law is not a special privilege for a specific group, but rather “a process of creating the minimum conditions for all people to live freely and equally” and “a law that creates the conditions for coexistence.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book also refutes the most common misconceptions and opposing arguments surrounding the anti-discrimination law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.\u003cbr\u003e Does freedom of expression infringe on religious freedom? The author draws a clear line, stating that anti-discrimination laws do not punish individual beliefs or opinions. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, in areas of a public nature such as employment, education, and the provision of goods and services, acts that create a “hostile and insulting environment” by making hateful remarks against a specific group and causing suffering are prohibited as “discriminatory harassment.”\u003cbr\u003e This is not about the 'freedom to bully', but about guaranteeing everyone the right to work and learn equally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2.\u003cbr\u003e Are men being discriminated against? The author addresses claims that women's quotas and minority support policies constitute \"reverse discrimination\" against the majority of men, explaining that they are \"active equalization measures\" aimed at leveling the playing field.\u003cbr\u003e It is an inevitable measure to achieve substantive equality beyond formal equality, and it is said that through this, we can increase the diversity and competitiveness of our entire society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3.\u003cbr\u003e Anti-discrimination laws lack social consensus? The author dismisses this claim as nothing more than a \"deceptive political tactic\" by politicians to delay enactment of the law. \u003cbr\u003eVarious opinion polls have already shown that a majority of the public supports the enactment of anti-discrimination laws, reminding us that the role of politics is not to hide behind public opinion, but to foster social consensus and protect the human rights of minorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In conclusion, \"The Illusion of Non-Discrimination\" is a book that argues that discrimination is an urgent issue that can no longer be blamed on an individual's character or postponed as a problem to be solved 'later'; it is a matter of the survival and future of our community.\u003cbr\u003e Through this book, readers will face the true face of discrimination and gain the courage to join the path of solidarity toward a society where all coexist equally. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292 pages | 388g | 140*210*19mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791167742469 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894510616618,"sku":"111821","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/90d3130a0de3eaf8ceca7cd5f102ee97.jpg?v=1765436524","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/111821","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
