>They deserve to be told to “get out of Japan”!
Do you have any idea what will happen if we’re no longer allowed to voice that anger?
Crime will only increase! Some countries have restricted hate speech, but have a look at what’s happened. They’ve instead ended up with hate perpetuating hate!
Don’t you even understand that?!
>You can change your nationality. If you don’t like it, you should go back to your own country. I came back from America.
>I do not think this is hate speech.
It’s just an argument. And it was the South Koreans who started making all the fuss about hate speech anyway.
They started off saying the use of comfort women was discrimination against women, and now they put it on the same level as sexual slavery.
South Koreans these days get all excited about racial discrimination when you call a South Korean a South Korean. The South Koreans themselves discriminate against South Koreans. There certainly is a lot of crime by South Koreans in Japan. The crime rate among them is stupendously high. Lately, there are even some South Koreans coming to Japan with bombs. The Zaitokukai makes it clear it is targeting South and North Koreans, so I think that’s a separate issue from racial discrimination. I don’t think going along with the tone of South Korea’s claims is a good idea.
>>Increasing percentage of people responding that foreigners living in Japan “increase the crime rate” and “take jobs away from Japanese people”.
This is a fact. Japan has the lowest crime rate and unemployment rate of any country on the globe. Crime rates for all types of crime in America and South Korea are higher than in Japan by an order of magnitude. If people from those countries with high crime rates = countries with a lot of criminals come to Japan, it’s natural to think that crime will increase.
>> Rhetoric that conflates relationships between governments with relationships between citizenries
