Today, I would like to respond the article "Which minority group face the worst discrimination in Japan?", and a response to the article above, "Ebb and flow of discrimination".
In the article "Which minority group face the worst discrimination in Japan?", six people from different countries (Australia, the U.S. and Japan) answered who he or she think is discriminated against the most.
There were Chinese, Korean, black people, and disabled people who were given as the answers, and one of the respondents, pointed out the absurdity of Japanese people who discriminate against Chinese, and Korean people that "However, they also say they love Chinese and Korean food."
There is the response written by Mike Dewood who lives in Nagasaki, Japan.
Dewood says that discrimination against American happens often in Nagasaki, expressing about his own experience discriminated against by Japanese.
In my opinion, things that were mentioned in these article and response were very true in Japan.
As it is said in the article, discrimination against people who were given as the answers often happens in Japan.
I suppose discrimination against foreigners deeply related to how the country Japan is located.
Surrounded by ocean, with very few contact with different nationality for long time, and war happened long ago made some Japanese unable to accept difference of people.
For disabled people, it is same.
People discriminate people because they cannot accept differences of others.
I can understand that people can not forget terrible war.
However, discrimination is sad thing to do.
