Oh, Yeah, That'll Do It


The UN has sent a representative to Japan who looked into the (very real) problem of racism by Japanese against, well, everyone else. The solution?
He said Japan should introduce new legislation to combat discrimination.
Well, there ya go. That'll certainly fix it. Look at how well that approach has worked for America!

But he also let slip this:
He was also concerned that politicians used racist or nationalist themes, as he put it, to whip up popular emotions.
Nationalism! How dare they. And for demagoguery at that! Humph. It's just not done. No sir....
