With the Netflix show Squid Game being so popular, one of the biggest headlines in Japan recently was basically someone hypothesizing that it was all bots and/or manipulated data by Koreans to make the show successful.

There's an entire genre of literature in Japan that is dedicated to "anti-Korean" ideology. You walk into most bookstores in Japan, and there's an anti-Korean section. I'm not even exaggerating.



That said, I don't think all of the animus towards Kei Komuro is because of his rumored Korean ethnicity. I think it's a whole avalanche of things.


Had no idea. Gonna look into this more. The world is indeed interesting.

Well-attended? This looks like a sparse AARP convention.


Lol. That's just a close-up shot of three protestors.

Thanks for clarifying. That photo reminds me of some of the early pictures of Princess Diana.

Much like with Meghan Markle, there's an entire cottage industry of people tearing down Kei at every possible angle. I really feel for him and his family.


The current Japanese Emperor has declared publicly that the Imperial family has Korean ancestry. This is not the beef the Japanese have with Kei Komuro, stop your desperate attempts to make this thread about Meghan.


???


DP. Pay that person no mind. The anti-MM posters are unhinged and never miss a chance to show that. In that, Komuro unfortunately shares a parallel with MM, even if with nothing else.


There is a MM thread, you can discuss the hypothesized similarities there without polluting every thread by harping on the same things. The reason the English or any other media are not reporting on your “racist bend” is because this guy has zero Korean ancestry, unlike the Emperor, and this was not their issue. Class issue sure, Korean ancestry zilch.


I have literally said nothing about MM on this thread except my one post to say that the MM haters are unhinged, which is a statement of fact.

Also, there is in fact a debate in Japan about possible Korean ancestry. Do you speak Japanese?

PP with Japanese friend. They think his mother was a con artist (used men for money, insurance fraud etc) and given that this guy was just out of college and without an established career that the Imperial family (aka the taxpayer funds) would support these two. Crowds can be very moralistic, especially when they pay to sustain you.


Well tell your Japanese friend this debacle reflects badly on the Japanese people as a whole, just as MM exposed the racism of the British people. Not a good look.

He's now a lawyer, though. Sad they couldn't just... not care about him? I think they will be successful, and certainly won't cost Japanese taxpayers a single penny.
