Today’ s article is about “Which minority groups face the worst discrimination in Japan? ”. In this article there are 6 people who are talking about discrimination in Japan. The groups of people which the 6 people think are discriminated in Japan are Chinese, Koreans, Black people, Handicapped people and “Burakumin”.

To this article, Mike Dewood wrote response. In this response he said he actually experienced to be discriminated in Japan.

I think actually discrimination happens because of our “preoccupation”. Usually people who discriminate against some groups or people don’t know about them so much. For example “Chinese” and “Korea”, we often hear they don’t have good impression about Japanese on TV. Actually I didn’t have good impression toward them because I heard such things on TV so many times, I think not a few people don’t have good impression toward them because of the same reason. But in most cases they have never talked to Chinese or Korean actually. As I told before, I didn’t have good impression toward them, but recently I had a chance to talk to Koreans and after talking to them I don’t feel that way any more.

I feel really sorry after reading “Ebb and flow of discrimination”, maybe the people who left in the post of Mike Dewood and who spit in his face just look at one side of “American” and don’t know about “himself” actually. I hope people won’t judge each other from just one side and these things will never happen again.
