Naomi Iwasawa : Breaking Japanese taboos to liberate minority and LGBT groups
(Japanese language is included in the script)
SummaryThe discrimination that she mentioned is happening every day in Japan.
I don't know about her or any other person who can directly tell about Japan having a part that is not good. We, Japanese people, lack the backuground confident for diversity and live in a country which is still closed and intolerant. Few people say that but many people don't notice and unconsciously ignore that. Thus "unconscious diyscrimination" come into us. Japanese people love things for being the same, but they don't know that it is different from the world. There are many different races and thoughts. The difference and diversity are ordinary. We have to realize it so that we can be in the same place where people of the world are.
I want her, her speech and her deeds to be known by all Japanese people. It is because there are great things that can't be changed by anything in the world.
