Private religious institution…
Don’t invite the government to a expand its authority into a new space to do something you like unless you’re comfortable with the government entering that same space to do something you don’t like.
Are we sure it’s not racist to think that any member of the Korean race can be assumed to speak for all of these dead soldiers?
Because it seems a little like that.
I won’t argue whether he’s right or wrong, but is it really appropriate to entertain barging into a private religious institution to remove all enshrined members on the basis or their race, because one guy of the same race presumes to speak for them, solely on the basis of race and without reference to any statements from the enshrined?
(To be clear, if we know that the enshrined people in question made statements that would reasonably imply that they would object to being enshrined, that’s a much stronger case. I still wouldn’t favor forcefully determining who may and may not be enshrined, but it would feel less like culture war bait.)
I mean, wouldn’t there be many who would like their zainichi ancestors to be enshrined like everyone else that fought and died? It’s not like they would get a cemetery in Korea right?
Sort of like how there are Japanese American cemeteries in the US for those who fought against Japan
Wild they’d even think of doing that.
It’d be like if some group in the states were trying to honor and enshrine black people who died fighting for the confederacy.
Idk…. Or maybe don’t live in a country with things you don’t like? If it bothers you that much, go live in the US or something. We hear it’s nice there.
