Japanese Kids Think About Helping Foreigners

    A short news clip from TokyoMX about Japanese schoolchildren learning about difficulties foreigners face in Japan:

    The blog Zero, where I found this video link, has already posted an excellent translation of the key points of the video.

    Here is the translation of what the foreigners say:

    A Chinese woman: People sometimes look down on me saying, you are Chinese, I am Japanese.

    An Argentine man: When I disagree with Japanese, some Japanese say, you are an Argentine, so you don’t understand.

    And solutions the children present after a brainstorming session:

    Kid 1: We should set up schools to teach different customs, culture.

    Kid 2: We should not discriminate if we don’t want to be discriminated when we go abroad.
