Talk:Koreans in Japan

message: TRUE REALITY: EVEN SPECIAL PERMIT OR PERMITTED RESIDENCE: KOREANS IN JAPAN SURPASS CHINESE POPULATION IN JAPAN. IF YOU COUNT HALF KOREAN-JAPANESE OR NATURALIZED KOREANS IN JAPAN IT WILL BE AT LEAST 6 MILLION OR ABOVE.  PLUS 300,000 KOREANS IN JAPAN POPULATION NUMBERS ARE KOREANS WHO IMMIGRATED TO JAPAN DURING the 1970'S.  NOT SURE WHY JAPAN IMMIGRATION BUREAU OR JAPAN POPULATION STATISTICS BUREAU NOT COUNTING ALL KOREANS IN JAPAN POPULATION INTO THE COUNT??? ARE THEY AFRAID OF KOREANS IN JAPAN ACTUAL POPULATION SIZE????  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanPenin5ulaKP (talk • contribs) 02:41, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Japananese"? 

message: The section in question reads:
[quote]So far, three prefectures - Osaka, Nara and Kanagawa - have granted voting rights to permanent foreign residents. However, the Japanese Diet has not yet passed a resolution regarding this matter despite several attempts by political parties to do so, and there is considerable public and political opposition against granting voting rights to those who have not yet adopted Japanese nationality[endquote] .
I think this information is out of date, though. To begin with, the regional High Courts, and the Supreme Court, in a series of suits and appeals, have rejected the right to vote lawsuits from the zainichi. I think the law is pretty clear, these days,  - no sufferage for zainichi at national elections. Is the author of the above alluding to local prefectural elections? If so, I think zainichi are also denied the right to vote there too. Is there a citation for the author’s claim? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.27.250.213 (talk) 07:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: "Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan" should be deleted. This category is just only Koreans in Japan. Certainly, Some Koreans in Japan made criminals and made Anti-Korean sentiment, however most of all are good people. The word "Koreans in Japan" do not directly suggest Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan.--Bukubku (talk) 11:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Do not use such inflammatory and insulting language. According to your logic, Japan did commit such tremendous war crimes like abducting and forcefully dragging Koreans into Japan for hard labor and then slaughtered and mascared Koreans like Kanto Earthquake, and their descendants have been remained in Japan. Besides, they're still main subject of severe discriminationper this book sources, so the category is very legitimate one to stay.--Caspian blue 21:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: CB, my English is elementary level sorry. Oh, I thought you might have hate Zainichi Koreans, because you added the category so many times. Now I am at ease, you are not racist. My Zainichi Korean friends were descendant of refugee from Jeju masscres. They still feel discrimination from South Koreans. And They have terrors of South Koreans. According to my logic? Korean labor draft was started in 1944, after Kanto Earthquake occured. Anyway I think Kanto Earthquake is very sad incident for Koreans. They are not discriminated now generally. According to your logic, Korean American was discriminated in US, for example Los Angeles riots. According to your logic, Korean Vietnamese was discriminated in Vietnam,for example Lai Daihan. Do you recommend me to create new section like you? I don't want to do so. Anyway I think "Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan" should be deleted.--Bukubku (talk) 15:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Bukubku, do not call me CB unless I say it's okay for you to do so; You're not my friend. The insertion of the legitimate category has nothing to do with my own feeling. Encyclopedia should be based on facts, sources. Then according to the "so-call your logic", you must hate Korea so much given the fact that your contribution history. Now, you're attacking me as "I'm a racist" (you already did attack with such outrageous accusation on other places). You also altered info regarding the time in which a majority of Koreans were moved to Japan. You falsified that it was during the Korean War, not the period of Japanese occupation. You altered the info without any source. Thankfully, somebody fixed your erroneous edits here thought with sources. I think you must re-read history books. The forced draft began during the WW2, not started in 1944 almost at the end of the war. Moreover, this article is not Vietnamese in Korea, United States or Japan , so do not mix irrelevant things here. Regarding your friend, you also did not provide any sources". So in turn, you have no plausible rationale for your removal but just the insistence like "I think Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan should be deleted."--Caspian blue 16:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, usage of primary sources should always be very cautious and given your false usages of such sources to Empress Myeongseong and others, I must look carefully into your sources. Regardless of the forced draft, your rationale still fails to prove that the category should be deleted. Besides, not every minority was slaughtered by Japanese like Koreans when 1923 Great Kantō earthquake occurred. Many academic research provide examples of discrimination to Koreans in Japan, so the category at the article is legitimate.--Caspian blue 17:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, usage of primary sources should always be very cautious is good. I know well your false usages of tertiary sources to Queen Min and others. Read cautiousiy. According to your rational, Japanse people (and Min clans) were slaughtered by Koreans when 임오군란(壬午軍亂) occured. According to Kim Jong-il, nowadays many Japanse abducted by Koreans. Many academic research provide examples of discrimination to Japanese in Korea. Anyway, do you recommand me to categorize Korean American, Korean Vietnamese like you?--Bukubku (talk) 10:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm talking about your disruptive behaviors on your usage of primary sources. I've never done such malpractices like you did. You always ended up to admit your lies in several occasions. Do not divert the main topic on Koreans in Japan but show some coherent evidence. Well, the article is not Koreans in Korea, but Koreans in Japan. Keep focus. You always fail to provide any logic.--Caspian blue 16:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Academic sources are already presented for abductions of Koreans , so what else need to?--Caspian blue 20:58, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Category:Anti-Korean sentiment in Japan 

message: I believe that Koreans in Japan have been primary subjects of discrimination in Japanese history and society which are all addressed in the article, so this pertinent category is relevant to the article, but user named Bukubku does not think so. Please leave your input here. Thanks.--Caspian blue 18:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  RfC: Should Category:Anti-Korean sentiment be deleted?  

message: Like most ethnic group, Korean doesn't have a plural in English dictionary. In Merriam Webster, Korean, is defined as native of Korea. There's no entry of Koreans. Likewise, there's no plural of Indian(s), Chinese (Chineses) Japanese(Japaneses) etc. Therefore, to move Koreans in Japan to Korean in Japan, which is more grammatically safe and ethnically acceptable, shouldn't cost much or hurt anybody's feeling, I hope.

thread_title:  Move to Korean in Japan: There is no plural for Korean 

message: Anyon haseyo! Adding 's' or 'es' to a word that ends in s already for plurality ,makes it sound funny please believe me. Thus
'Koreans' and Indians is ok. 
Japanese's' is not ok.
Japanese is both plural and singular.
'Koreans' and Indians are both plural only.--Jondel (talk) 07:34, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plurality of Japanese, Koreans and Indians 

message: The opening sentence implies it is about ethnic Koreans (including Japanese citizens) but the rest of the intro implies it is about Korean nationals residing in Japan. If the latter, then can we get clarification on the citizenship of the "examples" pictured in the infobox (Ms. Mizusawa et al)? Because if they are Japanese citizens, even if the article is about ethnic Koreans, the accompanying text appearing to describe them as "Zainichi" is ... well, the kind of thing that bigots would accuse me of being "politically correct" for trying to change.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have added "nin" to the Japanese text and transliteration to clarify that they are two seperate terms and not one long hyphenated term. The elevated period in between Japanese terms equates to the English use of "/". 
Note that Chosenjin is the term used before the establishment of South Korea at the end of the Korean War. Some resident Koreans in Japan resent the use of this term (more likely those affiliated with the South). However during the height of instant camera technology such devices were called,  "Bakachon Kamera" which means either a fool or Korean can use one which made the association with the label Chosenjin more undesirable.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The second paragraph of this section stated that it would be "technically correct" to call Pro-North Zainichi who have not re-registered as South Korean "North Koreans in Japan". This is absolutely not correct. These people have never been, and are unlikely to ever be, nationals of North Korea. The paragraph also used the word "status" as if they were considered to be legally North Korean, which is also entirely false. I've already made the necessary corrections.
These people are either holding on to the closest thing they have to their original nationality--of their home country which no longer exists--for one reason or another. Perhaps they are waiting for Korea to reunite in the hope their nationality will become valid again, or for Japan to re-open relations with the DPRK so they can re-register in as North Korean, or maybe they just don't want to deal with the racist legal system of the country that very likely forced them out of their ancestral homeland, treated them as less than human for decades, stranded them in its territory, and has refused to allow them to integrate into its society ever since, but that's just my opinion.
It is fundamentally incorrect to suggest that they are nationals of North Korea and they most certainly are not considered as such under Japanese law. 
=== Ulterior Motives ===
Consider the three countries' points of view: South Korea considers itself a new nation replacing Chosen and the definitive "Korea" while North Korea considers itself the socialist rebirth of Chosen and the definitive "Korea". I'm not sure, legally, how Japan defines the two countries, but it appears to recognize both, although it terminated relations with the DPRK some years ago. In fact, there is as yet no definitive "Korea" as the armistice continues.
One could argue that South Korea's request to the Allied occupational forces to push re-registration on ethnic Koreans in Japan might have been an attempt to legitimize South Korea's claim to be "Korea" and establish a more favourable relationship between itself, Japan, and the west than the DPRK, which deeply resents cultural assimilation. 218.44.105.187 (talk) 20:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
