"I would like to donate blood." says a foreigner.
A Korean Red Cross worker, with a look of horror on their face replies "No. Foreigners can't donate blood. All foreigners have aids!"
At another donation clinic the reply is "No. Foreign blood is too different from Korean blood."
I was actually told the former when I tried to donate blood at a Red Cross clinic my 1st year in Korea. A friend was told the latter line of bullshit when she tried to donate blood. I have heard similar experiences from many foreigners.
