Japanese Conservatives: „You gaijin, adopt Japanese culture!“
Foreigners: (adopts Japanese culture)
Japanese Conservatives: „Stop adopting Japanese culture, you stupid gaijin!“
God I hope they win too. Some bullshit
She has Japanese citizenship, so legally she is Japanese. Everything else is irrelevant.
Someone should write the columnist and ask them how they believe zainichi Koreans happened to find themselves in Japan in the first place…
If they didn’t want them here, maybe they shouldn’t have kidnapped them and forced them basically into slavery.
There is only one cure for racism. However Reddit won’t let me post it without being banned ….. strangely it’s the same cure as stupidity which in stunning Coincidence is the root cause of racism
I could probably type 10,000 words about this, but I’ll just say they are „zainichi“ because of the thing a conservative columnist is probably very proud about (Japanese expansion back then).
They were forced to change their names. If they decided to go ahead and roll with it, it’s their own business. If they have decided to keep their Korean names (and not become Japanese even if their parents were born here and have never even been to Korea), fair play to them as well.
Hope she wins and makes this a norm against ‚conservatives‘ , who only conserve their ‚idiocy&racism‘ apparently.
I always wondering why they demand foreigner to assimilate into Japanese society but then they acting like „Noo foreigner scary, im going to sit far away from them and ignore them“ and when the foreigner didnt try to assimilate they get angry.
Like how people can assimilate when the population itself avoiding them, its crazy mental gymnastic and if you pointing this out they will straight telling you to leave Japan.
