I’ve been putting up all the comments on this post, but the job of reading and translating them has become tedious so I’m going to be selective from now on. I’m not sure if they really tell one very much. Even allowing for language differences, the quality of the responses is very low, given their volume. Ninety per cent are straightforward abuse. Obviously, with a few exceptions, there isn't any attempt to establish a debate here. Very few of these people seem to have read what I have written – there is an assumption that I hold opinions (about the tedious Tokto/Takeshima island dispute, for example) that I have never expressed.
I'm surpised to detect, too, an undercurrent of something like fear. I genuinely was hoping to meet up in Tokyo for a chat with Mr Kita, but clearly this is something he would never entertain. I know that pseudonyms are customary on these kind of forums, but why do so few of the abusive bloggers supply an email address – even a false email address? A refusal to engage in dialogue is part of it. But I suspect too that there's a subconscious fear operating here, the sense that if you give an address away 勘違い(チャネラーにアドバレルのがヤバイだけなのに)→I might somehow crawl through the ether and pop up in your living rooms. Or perhaps it’s closer to shame.

April 27 (Bloomberg) -- Los Angeles is America's new Ellis Island, a place where teeming masses of whites, blacks, Asians and Latinos are -- to paraphrase noted resident Rodney King -- just trying to get along. ``The New Los Angeles,'' a PBS documentary that airs tonight at 10 p.m. New York time, focuses on the attempt to create unity where hostility once reigned.
King Riots There are other gaps as well, including a deep chasm between blacks and Korean immigrants. One bone of contention: Koreans bought up liquor stores highly concentrated in black neighborhoods. Karen Bass, a community organizer interviewed for the program, says some owners set up sofas in parking lots to accommodate boozers: A still photo shows a well-worn recliner apparently used as a binge station.
Ill will burst into violence in the April 1992 aftermath of the Rodney King trial. Some 700 businesses, many owned by Koreans, went up in smoke.

A mini-industry has been created to serve them. LOS ANGELES ― In an apparent crackdown, U.S. authorities have arrested 10 Korean mothers who traveled to the United States to give birth so that their babies would be eligible for American citizenship.

UKだし、きっと差別にでも遇ったんだろね、 Parryさん。 American rapper Snoop Dogg was in police custody on Thursday after being arrested with five other men following a disturbance at London's Heathrow airport, a police source said.

GARCIA: Photos of the house are advertised on two Web sites: BirthInUSA.com and Gramercyvilla.com. (Editor's Note: Both Web sites came up blank when tested Friday morning.) According to the sites, Gramercy Place is where you stay while you're pregnant. After the baby is born you transfer to (indicating another house) this house a few blocks away on Lucerne. Posted photos show the accommodations for mom and newborns. We asked Channel 4 News reporter Jinah Kim to translate. GARCIA: Our cameras watched both properties for six weeks, and we saw different pregnant women going in and out of here. U.S. REP. DANA ROHRABACHER (R-ORANGE COUNTY): What you have uncovered here is a gaming of the system that may be technically legal but screams out for reform. GARCIA: Rohrabacher wants to change the 14th amendment of the Constitution. WADE PRADER, IMMIGRATION OFFICER: (The 14th amendment) guarantees citizenship to people born in the United States. GARCIA: (The 14th amendement applies) no matter what their parents' status, according to Wade Prater of U.S. immigration. Prater says he wants to find out if tourist visas are being misused here. PRADER: As far as the parent misrepresenting their intention to come to the U.S. ... it is something we definitely want to look in to. GARCIA: Edward Chang, a professor of Asian American Studies at UC Riverside, says wealthy Koreans can pay to have their children born in the US. Citizenship for the newborn would mean they could avoid mandatory military service in Korea, and -- CHANG: Many Korean parents in Korea want to send their children to top U.S. Universities. GARCIA: In addition to the baby getting all benefits of being a U.S. citizen, once he's 21, he can petition U.S. immigration to bring his family over.
Bush said he was deeply moved by the plight of Sakie Yokota, who longs to be reunited with her daughter Megumi. The girl was 13 when she was kidnapped on her way home from school in 1977 by North Korean agents.
"It is hard to believe that a country would foster abduction," Bush said after a meeting with relatives of Japanese abducted by North Korea and North Korean defectors.
"It's hard for Americans to imagine that a leader of any country would encourage the abduction of a young child. It's a heartless country that would separate loved ones ...," Bush said. "If North Korea expects to be respected in the world, that county must respect human rights and human dignity and must allow this mother to hug her child again.

I wish I could go back to college!
How do I go back to college?! AHHHH...
