Topic	Being Black in Japan: Biracial Japanese talk about discrimination and identity
brestugo 07/13/21 1:11:12 PM #18	CyricZ posted... Considerable time is spent in Yakuza:LAD spotlighting the fact that a lot of Asian nationals become involved in crime because it's one of the only ways they can get ahead. Characters in the Korean and Chinese factions are largely well-written and humanized. Interesting. Historically that was true. I knew a "zainichi Korean" which basically means "Japan resident Korean" when I was in Japan. Her grandparents were basically brought as slaves prior to WW2. When the war ended, her parents didn't want to go to Korea - a country they never knew - but Japan never granted them citizenship either. She got a job as a journalist but for a lot of others like her, there's not much opportunity. Businesses can and do discriminate there. It's like 1950's USA in that regard. Never played the series, but maybe I'll look into it now. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb.
Topic	What event made you believe in bigfoot?
brestugo 07/13/21 12:54:50 PM #8	First became intrigued as a kid when I read Teddy Roosevelt's account of a friend's bigfoot encounter. Also, as a Californian who actually understands how big the state is - 95% of the country has no idea that it is bigger than Japan - and having seen hundreds of miles and miles of untouched dense forests, I believe anything could be in there. Not saying I believe, but I believe it is possible. You could probably put 3 flyover states in the dense forests of NorCal. Then add the forests of Washington, Oregon and British Columbia and you're talking a huge, largely untouched forested area. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb.
Topic	Being Black in Japan: Biracial Japanese talk about discrimination and identity
brestugo 07/13/21 12:44:31 PM #15	CyricZ posted... Odd you bring up 3K. I learned of a different 3K while playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. It might be fictional but it's highly likely it's based off the 3K you mentioned. In the game it's kuwasenai (dont let them eat), kasegasenai (dont let them earn), and kyojuu sasenai (dont let them reside). It was specifically used to refer to the yakuza and getting them out of the Kamurocho area in the game. Very likely related. A large number of yakuza are ethnic Koreans who were born and raised in Japan but can never become citizens. No 14th amendment there. As I understand it, historically they did a lot of 3K work in Japan like slaughterhouses, tanning leather and construction. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb.

brestugo 07/13/21 12:32:42 PM #14	Many work related (government) conventions. Usually good food in an interesting city too. 3 or 4 San Diego ComiCons - before the millennials, hipsters, yuppies, cosplayers and zoomers started coming. Really, really cool. Just writers, artists and fans. Avoid the spectacle called ComiCon nowadays. My lady and I have also been to Adult Con. Biggest porn convention in the world. L.A. and Las Vegas only. We stay local in L.A. Fun, interesting and classy. Not sleazy or seedy at all. For reasons that escape me, everything is cash only though. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb.
Topic	Being Black in Japan: Biracial Japanese talk about discrimination and identity
brestugo 07/13/21 12:16:13 PM #11	I'm a black American who lived in Japan. Met a few biracial "blackanese" people as sometimes they call themselves. It can be tough to have "dark" skin in Asia. Japan has a concept of 3Ks - not KKK - but kitanai, kikken, kitsui (respectively "dirty", "dangerous", "demanding"). It's actually 4K though. kuroi ()is an adjective (aka descriptor, not a noun, which is an actual person, place or thing) meaning "black" that is implied. My blackanese friends told me the pain of hearing someone say "the dirty, the dangerous, the demanding and the black" as if they were all related things. I told them I understood more than they knew. It's still quite hurtful to hear someone say they want to avoid the "4K" at any cost, though. EDIT: added an extra "k" to "kikken" because gamefaqs says it is close to a slur for something else. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb.

Mass vaccinations are a scientific error as well as a medical error, he said. It is an unacceptable mistake. The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants, Prof. Luc Montagnier continued. *\2008* The prominent virologist explained that there are antibodies, created by the vaccine, forcing the virus to find another solution or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that are a production and result from the vaccination. Montagnier is a known kook who once won a Nobel for HIV research - as like the 3rd or 4th name on the team. Good for him but that's not the be all and end all.

When the U.S. was founded, DC was a mostly undrained swamp occupied by slaves - building the White House and shit like that - and their owners - who could as white, male landowners vote in their home state. The only ones who could vote btw. No serious thought was given to giving them the representation that all Americans elsewhere enjoy. DC pays more in taxes than some states, and sends more people to the military than some states. DC has all the responsibilities of a state, yet has few to none of the revenue or law enforcement capabilities of a state.

They get flag burners for that charge easily if it's not their flag. The rest of the stuff seems like something the court will throw out because the first amendment allows someone to smirk, even "intimidatingly". Given that she destroyed what sounds like a yard sign, they'll probably give her a fine and/or community service - they like to assign people to wash police cars for this type of shit, btw.
