Response to the article

Today's response is about the article, "Views from the Street". This article was about discrimination in Japan. 6 people who are from Japan, America and Australia say different opinion about discrimination. Cittarelli and Oag from Australia both say that Japanese people don't like Chinese people. Johnson who is from America says that black people are discriminated and he also says about Chinese people. Furusawa and Yokota, who is from Japan, says that handicapped people are discriminated such as hard to find a job. Suzuki says that people from outcast class is still been discriminated.

Mike Dewood wrote a respond, "Ebb and flow of discrimination". He says that discrimination depends on where you live. I agree with him. I think in every country, they each have its own way of deciding whether it's discriminate or not. For example, in McKenna's article, a lot of foreigners talk about Chinese people. They say that Japanese people don't like Chinese people and get annoyed when they hear Chinese spoken in Japan. However, maybe people from other country won’t think that way. Also, they don’t have a fact that this is true.

Furusawa and Yokata mentioned about handicapped people getting discriminated. There are many handicapped people in Japan and I see it on the news that the government doesn't do anything for them. I do agree to this but I've never experienced this kind of thing around me.

Therefore, each country has its own idea in each thing so it depends on where you live.
