my co-worker ryan told me about this article. i'm sad. i'm frustrated. i'm disgusted. but i can't say i'm surprised...last year one of my j-friends said "i don't understand the american word 'racism'. we don't have that here in japan". i basically said "YEAH RIGHT! your whole country is racist!!"
this article speaks to that issue:
[But Mr. Kawasaki said the economic slump was a good opportunity to overhaul Japan’s immigration policy as a whole. “We should stop letting unskilled laborers into Japan. We should make sure that even the three-K jobs are paid well, and that they are filled by Japanese,” he said. “I do not think that Japan should ever become a multiethnic society.”]
it makes me sick bc i absolutely recognize that this attitude is nothing new.
