4 2175/2176/01/4NA/PRELIMS/19 Are people in Japan accepting towards foreigners? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. With an ageing population and shrinking workforce, there has been an influx of foreigners into Japan in recent years as more foreigners head to Japan to take up jobs that Japanese refuse to. On the surface it appears that most Japanese are friendly and polite, however upon scrutiny, more Japanese are displaying xenophobic feelings towards non-Japanese, making them feel unwelcomed and unaccepted by Japanese society. Despite efforts by the government to reduce misunderstandings between Japanese and non -Japanese, these efforts have often backfired or caused even greater discrimination against foreigners. Study the following sources to determine if people in Japan are accepting towards foreigners. Source A: A cartoon published in The Japan Times, an English -medium newspaper on the interactions between foreigners and Japanese citizens, 2 December 2018. Foreigner Foreigner

5 2175/2176/01/4NA/PRELIMS/19 Source B: A newspaper article published in the Nikkei Asia Review, 30 May 2018. "I've chosen the construction industry because the work involves lots of communication and helps improve my Japanese," a Vietnamese immigrant said, in fluent Japanese. He eventually wants to work as a translator in Japan, and hopes that his fiancee will be able to join him there one day. His employer, Yasutake Maeda of Saiseki Katawaku Kogyo, said foreign trainees are indispensable for his company. "Foreign trainees learn faster than Japanese," Maeda said. "They are more serious, more hardworking, and take fewer days off. They are keen to learn and work hard for money. Few young Japanese show such guts these days." Source C: A newspaper article published in the Japan Times, Japan’s largest English newspaper company by an American born, naturalised Japanese citizen, 6 January 2014. This was also the year that the mask of “polite, peace-loving Japan” slipped a bit, with a number of demonstrations across the nation supporting outright hatred and violence towards non-Japanese. “Good Koreans or bad, kill them all,” proclaimed one protestor. Another was recorded on video encouraging a “massacre” in a Korean neighbourhood in Japan. A newspaper reporter tweeted that anti -Korean goods were being sold on parliament grounds while anti-foreigner sentiments became normalised within Japan’s immoral gossip newspapers. Source D: A newspaper article published in the New York Times, an American newspaper, 28 August 2010. The group of about a dozen Japanese men gathered in front of an elementary school gate, using loudspeakers to call the students cockroaches and Korean spies. These protestors were known as being part of a hate group known as Zaitokukai. The Zaitokukai gained notoriety last year when it staged noisy protests at the home and junior high school of a 14-year-old Philippine girl, demanding her deportation after her parents were sent home for overstaying their visas. In interviews, members of the Zaitokukai blame d foreigners, particularly Koreans, for Japan’s growing crime and unemployment. Most of their members appear to be young men, many of whom hold the low-paying part-time or contract jobs that have seen a rapid increase in Japan in recent years. Source E: An extract from a speech given by Japan Foreign Minister Taro Kono. Japan becomes value added by accepting foreigners especially since the ageing population and low birth rate mean the country is shrinking by a half -million people a year. We cannot sustain our society like that. We are opening up our country. We are opening up our labour market to foreign countries. We are now trying to come up with a new work permit policy so I think everyone shall be welcome in Japan if they are
