Acceptability Differential.
(Disclaimer: Koreans have good qualities too! They're just not as fun to write about.)
Things I've seen grown Korean men do in the last three days:
1) Pick their nose and eat it, repeatedly, in public.
2) Smoke a cigarette in a nursing home, drop the butt on the carpeted floor, and step on it.
3) As students are mopping the school office, huck a loogey casually on the floor.
Lastly, I discovered literally minutes ago that my host Grandfather doesn't actually shower... he wipes himself down with a wet towel. It was always a mystery to me that I never saw him showering. Mystery solved.
