Just like in Sweden, for instance, where you're less likely to be tagged as "foreign" if you're originally from Denmark or Germany than if you're from, say, Spain or India.

Perhaps the reason that Korean, Thai, Filipino and Chinese women are not represented on the above-mentioned variety show is simply that there isn't enough assimilation for them to go through (given their already Asian backgrounds) and thus makes for less interesting viewing? Though the article seems to suggest that their lack of representation has something to do with the aforementioned sex-slave policy...?

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
