Cute Japanese Girl Screaming Racism & Hatred

Cute Japanese Girl Screaming Racism & Hatred

Is Japan a racist country?

Is this typical behavior among Japanese girls nowadays?

What is the difference between this video and Medama Sensei's "Racism in Japan" videos?



This very unusual and shocking video was filmed just the other day in front of Tsuruhashi 鶴橋 station in Osaka, Japan. In this we see a young and cute (?) Japanese girl destroying all the myths about her by shouting explicit racism and hatred against Korean people living in that area. She actually yells "We will start the Tsuruhashi Massacre like the Nanking Massacre!" Believe it or not, this kind of protest is legal and not uncommon in Japan, but seeing this done by a young middle school girl is quite rare, indeed. It makes us wonder if her parents are aware of this or not. OK, one last question:

Could this legally happen in the USA? Discuss.

Update on "Racism in Japan" Video by Medama Sensei

Update on "Racism in Japan" Video by Medama Sensei

Update on Racism in Japan Video by Medama Sensei

Today Medama Sensei aka. "Miki Dezaki" released a follow up video to his controversial "Racism in Japan" clip of his classroom lesson about Japanese discrimination. After that class, his students were enlightened, there were no complaints from anyone and the vice principal of his school even said that he wished more students could have attended Dezaki's lesson.
“The reaction was so positive,” he said. "These kids have heard the stories of their parents being discriminated against by the mainland Japanese. They know this stuff. But the funny thing is that they weren’t making the connection that that was discrimination.”
But when he uploaded that lesson as a video to Youtube last week, it turned more than a few heads and generated a very negative backlash from some right-wing, racist Japanese netizens known as the "netouyu" or "nettouyoku" (ネット右翼) who even sent him death threats:
“I recently made a video about Racism in Japan, and am currently getting bombarded with some pretty harsh, irrational comments from Japanese people who think I am purposefully attacking Japan,” [snip]

"If I should have anticipated something, I should have anticipated the netouyu,” said Dezaki.

Here is Dezaki's original "Racism in Japan" video:



And here is today's release "Racism in Japan Part 2":



The netouyu created quite a stir by hacking into Dezaki's social networks and then by contacting his previous employers, local politicians and Okinawa’s board of education and complained about Dezaki's video through numerous telephone calls. This reaction also earned him a write up featured in the Washington Post. Dezaki is an American English teacher in Okinawa who previously gained some notoriety with his other videos entitled “What Americans think of Japan”, "Sh*t Japanese Girls Say", "Hitchhiking Okinawa" and "Being Gay in Japan".

Be sure to see more of Mike Dezaki's interesting videos here.

WTF KFC Japan Sells Chicken w/ Watermelon?

Via Japan Is Weird

At first look through Western eyes, this photo of a KFC Japan'a Colonel Sanders statue holding a watermelon slice appears to be somewhat racist. And, of course, there is no racism in Japan because there is only one race in Japan, right? Well, to be fair it is customary for Japanese to eat watermelon during the blazing heat of the summers. So whaddya think?

Is China A Racist Country?

Below is a photo of an advertisement placed by the Cambridge Kids English Centre in Guangzhou, China for a part-time ESL teacher. In the title it clearly states:

"Native kids English teacher (Black or White) 18,000 rmb"

Also at the bottom of this ad it states:

"you can apply if you are black with good teaching experience and a valid visa"

but then:

"BLACK teachers get 14,000rmb" (>_<)

Is China A Racist Country?

The folks at the the Cambridge Kids English Centre have taken this ad down, but the cached page of it can still be seen here in Yahoo.

Is Japan a Racist Country?

The answer by most Japanese would be "No, there is only one race in Japan." And if one thinks about it that is technically a valid answer. But then one only has to watch TV Osaka's long-running きらきらアフロ2011 or "Glistening Afro" television show and you may see some 'comic' scenes like this:
