In this month's issue of monthly magazine HANADA there is a wonderful interview feature between Hyakuta Naoki and Oh Sonfa.
It is a truthful dialogue to know for the first time for many people over three columns of 11 pages.
Most of those who made the Tokyo LDP party defeat at Tokyo Assembly elections yesterday did not read monthly magazines full of such truths,
There are no 100% mistakes that they are just people who are watching coverage of the Asahi Shimbun and their television stations and wide shows.
The truth that people all over the world must also know right has been packed.
More to Korea
You must apologize!
Hyakuta Naoki, writer, Oh Sonfa, Professor, Takushoku University
Speech suppression and Japanese taboo
Emphasis in sentences other than titles * and * are me.
Oh
I heard that Hyakuta’s lecture planned at Hitotsubashi University’s school festival was canceled.
Hyakuta
It is a terrible story.
In response to a request from the Executive Committee in December of last year undertake pleasantly, it announced at HP of Hitotsubashi University in February this year,
Several campus organizations and the anti-racism information center, represented by Ryang Yong-Song, a graduate student of the university,
"Since Hyakuta Naoki is a racist, it will not let this person speak," they asked to stop.
About four months from then, I heard that persistent and malicious pressure from inside and outside the university was done by all possible means.
Continued receiving tremendous threats and pressure, among the students of the executive committee who organized a lecture, there seemed to be a student who became neurosis and a female student who burst into tears.
Oh
It is unforgivable.
Hyakuta
I will criticize the policies that China, Korea, North Korea etc. are doing.
However, for some people who do not allow any critical discourse against China, South Korea, North Korea, it becomes a "hate speech".
Especially since last year, the Hate Speech Countermeasures Law came into effect, I feel that such movements are strengthening.
Even the historical fact that "comfort women are not compulsory enticed" is made a hate speech.
And the person who makes such a remark puts a label saying "it is a racist", it stubbornly attacks and seals the speech.
That's exactly the case this time. It is very frightening thing.
Oh
I came to Japan in 1983.
What surprised, however, was that the air that was critical of South Korea at that time and that should not say bad things was extremely strong.
* As I have mention several times, I have subscribed to the Asahi Newspaper about the unconscious feeling of such feeling. For this feeling, I lost it almost to my life. *
Hyakuta
It still exists.
Criticism against South Korea and China is considered taboo.
I used to write like this on Twitter before.
<Though I say "I dislike Americans", it is said to nothing, when saying "I dislike Koreans!” Why it to be is said Racist soon! >
Oh
That’s strange.
Among the airs of those days that could not say to South Korea, Japan still touched Korea with the thought of "If somehow to talk, it can understand".
Since the establishment of the civilian government in the early 1990s, the Korean side attacked Japan violently in the textbook issue and the Yasukuni problem, and in the form of an objection to it, a person who tells Korea in Japan I think that the number has increased.
This conflict became intense, so to speak it was anti-Japanese and it dislikes Korea era.
This phenomenon is also the emergence of free speech to Korea in a sense, but recently it is said that there is a movement to crush this in the form of racism criticism ride.
This draft continues.
