It is rare to find a country with no nationality or racial discrimination, as in Japan.

The John Dower faction dominates the U.S. historical academy, Alexis Dudden, arguably an agent of the Korean Peninsula, and Carol Gluck, who works for the Asahi Shimbun.
Norimitsu Onishi has been writing anti-Japanese articles for the New York Times and the Washington Post, which were influenced by anti-Japanese propaganda from China and Korea.
It is the Süddeutsche Zeitung, etc., which has used the news reports of the Asahi Shimbun, which was created with a masochistic view of history and anti-Japanese ideology, and anti-Japanese articles written by people with anti-Japanese ideology to make Japan into a criminal state on par with the Nazis, thereby mitigating their crimes.
They have used the Asahi Shimbun articles to continue to plant anti-Japanese ideology in the German people.
Reporters with the worst human qualities and abilities have continued to write anti-Japanese articles.
As a result, a German public opinion poll a few years ago reported that about half of the German people have an anti-Japanese ideology.
The fact that the worst reporters easily incite the German people shows that there is not much difference in the actual situation from when Nazism prompted them.
They have proven that the mass media can incite and brainwash their readers with impunity.
How did the Ryukyu Shimpo and the Okinawa Times, which control Okinawa Prefecture, report on the recent gubernatorial election in Okinawa?
It would be a fact that we don't even need to know what kind of reporting they were doing under Chinese and Korean manipulation.
It is no exaggeration to say that anti-Japanese propaganda is the reason for the existence of China and the Korean Peninsula.
The following is from an article by Kenichi Iwamoto in WiLL, a monthly magazine now on sale, titled Why I Became Japanese.
It is a must-read for the Japanese people and people around the world.
A sense of crisis and awakened identity during the nightmare era of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ)
The emphasis in the text other than the headline is mine.
In Search of a Prosperous Life
I am a former fourth-generation Korean living in Japan(zainichi).
My great-grandfather came to Japan in 1917, not long after the annexation of Japan and Korea.
At the time, Japan was amid the "Taisho Bubble."
In Europe, the main battleground of World War I, production of industrial products temporarily stopped.
In response, new companies, mainly in the heavy chemical industry, sprang up in Japan.
Japanese firms profited enormously from the surge in overseas demand in the shipping and shipbuilding sectors.
The "new rich" symbolized the era of unprecedented economic boom.
You must have seen the caricatures in textbooks depicting the exchange of "It's so dark I can't see your shoes" and "How about lighting a 100-yen bill on fire to make it brighter?
Some textbooks explain the annexation of Japan and Korea as "Japan threatened Korea by force.
Thus, it is regarded as a "humiliation" for Koreans and a "history to be regretted" for the Japanese.
But was it really so?
The fact is that many people from the peninsula came to Japan in search of a prosperous life, and my great-grandfather was among them.
Only recently did I learn that my great-grandfather came to Japan during World War I.
As a fourth-generation zainichi, I was born and raised in Japan and became a naturalized Japanese citizen in 2013.
In gathering the necessary documents for naturalization, I came into contact with my roots, which I had only vaguely known until then.
Japanese Identity
Born and raised in Japan, I was unaware of my Korean identity.
I could not speak Korean at all, nor could I read Hangul.
I have never even been to Korea, so it does not ring a bell when Koreans treat me as a "compatriot.
On the other hand, I was never bullied or discriminated against because of my nationality.
People who call themselves "liberals" tend to proceed with the preconceived notion that "zainichi = discriminated against.
When I tell them that I have never been discriminated against just because I am a zainichi, they say, "But you were at least a little bit, weren't you?" So they try to force me to draw it out.
However, it is rare to find a country with no nationality or racial discrimination, as in Japan.
If there is, it is only gender discrimination.
I am keenly aware that Japan is a female-dominated society (laughs).
Although I did not feel much inconvenience from my Korean nationality, why did I become Japanese?
The opportunity came during the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) administration.
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's comments on the base relocation issue took two or three different turns, plunging Japan-U.S. relations into the worst possible state.
The next prime minister, Naoto Kan, was disfigured by the 3/11 disaster.
The Ministry of Finance-backed administration of Yoshihiko Noda decided to raise the consumption tax.
The DPJ administration has used every trick in the book to undermine Japan, but the most shocking was the fishing boat collision incident.
A Chinese fishing boat hit a Japan Coast Guard patrol boat, and the captain was arrested.
However, I remember being stunned when the captain was suddenly reported to have been released.
If nothing is done, It will destroy Japan.
I felt a sense of crisis and, at the same time, realized how much I loved the country of Japan, so I decided to become a naturalized Japanese citizen with my whole family.
It was the moment when I awakened my identity as a Japanese.
Joseon, Korean Empire, Empire of Japan, Korea, Korea, and Japan:
The family's ongoing "journey of nationality" came to an end.
By becoming a Japanese of Korean descent, I now have a clear "position of mind.
I can now say political statements freely and openly.
Takeshima is Japan's inherent territory!
