Japan's Hidden Apartheid: Koreans in Japan(2/2)

　　The majority of ethnic Koreans living in Japan who are currently coming, belong to the forth or fifth generation of immigrants. In other words, Koreans have been living in Japan for a long time.
　　An Al Jazeera reported about ethnic Koreans in Japan, so-called "Zainichi Koreans".
　　The report focuses on how Zainichi Koreans in Japan suffer discrimination and racism, particularly in situations such as applying for a job or searching for housing.
　　Their situations are sometimes legally justified, because they are categorized as second-rate citizen, are marginalised and excluded. Since Colonialism Era, before the WWII, the Japanese government keep the polocy which should be called Apartheid against Korean minority.

I have to disagree with you. I believe South Korea is more racist than Japan, honestly. Hate crimes in South Korea are more severe than the ones in Japan, and I have never heard of any biracial person in Japan being treated so horribly as Yoon Mi Rae, Hines Ward or Insooni. And I would say South Korea treats people of colour worse than in Japan.

People from both countries are equally racist and xenophobic. I think Japan just gets more coverage because of their economic power in the global market. At the end of it all, trying to compare which country is more racist than the other is like comparing which piece of shit is larger than the other piece of shit.

@Passerbyzff Have you been to South Korea yourself? I've been to both countries for a long period of time. You make S. Korea sound like some backwater country. I'd like you to back up your argument. Show me how foreigners are discriminated in S. Korea. There are more than 117k Americans, besides the big number of soldiers/government workers. Over 120k Chinese, few hundred people from Arab countries, and others. If S. Korea was known to be racist, I think it would be an international issue.

I do find it disturbing that the Korean school is based on North Korean ideology.

@Passerbyzff

Are you a moron? Japan is 98.6% ethnically Japanese (this number includes naturalized citizens of other ethnicities as well), whereas more than 99% of people South Korea are ethnically Korean. North and South Korea are the most homogenous countries on earth. Japan's visa system is also much more liberal than South Korea's. Foreigners are treated much worse in South Korea than in Japan. Please back up your arguments.

[julianbautista87]

as I said before, stop the hate, we all will be fighting against muslims in a few years, so it would be nice if you start building a strong friendship before that starts.

@Passerbyzff Then, why do advanced Korean people living in advanced U.S. do things like this?

The South Korean paper reveals that this store owner is Korean.
