A responce to “Which minority groups face the worst discrimination in Japan?”

After reading an article, “which minority groups face the worst discrimination in Japan?,” I thought about discrimination around me.

Since I live in Osaka, which has a Korean town, there were some Korean students living in Japan in my school. They usually made themselves known as Japanese names and some of them name their real real names. If they didn't say they were Koreans , they confessed their good friends that way but their friends didn't care about it and dealt with them as friends normally, though maybe they were surprised at first.

I know discrimination against African American people were rigid in the U.S., especially in the 1950s, and they fought their rights in the Civil Rights Movement. Today discrimination against them, such as the Jena Six, still prevails in some areas. I think, however, discrimination against them hardly happens in Japan.

Therefore, probably handicapped people suffer from discrimination worst of all ideas in the article, although unlike other cases of foreign people, they are Japanese. It depends on the degree of handicaps but handicaps tend to be seen with curiosity by ordinary people. Some People have handicaps mentally and others physically. Companies or employees tend not to require them. Even if they get a job fortunately, its salary is not as high as ordinary people's.

Until reading the article this time, I thought discrimination was just by people in one county against foreign people. I realized discrimination against domestic people can easily happen and be overlooked.
