South Korea has rapidly been moving toward a multicultural society with almost two-million foreign residents. Korean society looks as if it comes to terms with the cultural diversity. But in fact, government policies just intend to assimilate foreign residents into our society instead of understanding manifold cultural differences. A lack of understanding about what constitutes racial discrimination is common, and this makes numerous racist incidents. Although racism certainly exists in our society, the Korean government has always denied the seriousness of this issue. CERD(Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination) indicated a problem that acts based on racial superiority or hatred is on the rise in korea, there are no specific legislative measures to prohibit and punish racially motivated crimes. Many countries prohibit hate speech, because it promotes racial discrimination and encourages hate crimes. This paper introduces legislation models of US, Germany and France to be able to contribute to adopt legislative measures to prohibit and punish hate speech.
