Discrimination, Prejudice, and Identity in
Japan
Movie:
"The
Ghosts
of Auschwitz,'
Some other examples of predjudice that
Mr. Walsh has heard of:
1) Ms. Osti says many people think she works at a "snack"
(hostess bar). She hates that. She never has. There are some
hostess bars with girls from the Philippines, so they think all people
from the Philippines work at these places.
2) Once a black friend of Mr. Walsh's went to a job interview.
The girl at the front desk first ran away. After that she came back and
told the black person to go home.
3) An Su Feng has had many problems. People are sometimes very
rude to her because she is Chinese.
4) There is no law against racism in Japan.
5) Once Mr. Walsh was attacked by a crazy man. When the police
came, they thought is was Mr. Walsh's fault.
...but things are getting better in Japan...
