It seems hate and intolerance is covering this world much more. I’m surprised some extreme right leaders are chosen or having much power these days in many of the Western countries, where we have thought as civilized and democratic countries. Whenever I hear Trump’s arrogant words I wonder isn’t it shameful for the American to have such a man as the president. People who support right leaders hate refugees or immigrants, right? I can imagine their uneasiness when many people with different culture intrude into their society.
But think of this. Why do so many people come to the Western countries as refugees or immigrants? Where do they come from? They have to run away from danger and poverty. No people leave their homeland when they are happy and safe there. Why are they in such poverty or danger? Aren’t the Western countries responsible for it? Terrors and wars in Middle-East are caused from the attack to Iraq by the USA and other Western countries originally. Isn’t rich countries sucking wealth from the poor ones?
Actually I have no right to blame other countries. Japan accepts few refugees. It’s a shame. And there are people who hate and discriminate Koreans and Chinese openly. Japan once invaded both countries and the people suffered a lot, but those right wings don’t admit the historical facts. They deny the holocaust the Japanese army did in China or the sex slaves in the army. Those opinions were mainly on the Internet some time ago, but now more people including the LDP members of the Diet think the same. The drift of the society is toward it, and it’s also nationalism. I’m so ashamed and fearful for this trend.
