Nationalism

One of Japanese actors expressed his dislike of Korean TV drama and Korean pop music so-called K-pop on twitter. He candidly said K-pop should go home. These days so many Korean pop singers are seen on Japanese TV. And Korean drama has also become popular here in Japan.

I hate narrow minded people. I hate biased nationalism. I hate discrimination.

In the era of World War II, some people called Japanese "Jap" or "Yellow." I'm sure people in those days must have felt anger or sadness. Now, one Japanese actor considers no foreigner should enter Japan.

Japan exports lots of products overseas, and heavily dependant on other countries for food and other natural resources.

He is like saying that a man in a small town shouldn't go to the neibourhood town, and that's absolutely non-sense.

Some Japanese win in a Olimpic game. Some Japanese are criminals. But are they something to do with their nationality? Should we judge people by their nationality?
