Discrimination against Kurds living in Japan has surged on social media in less than a year.

To be honest, the behavior of some members of the Kurdish community ( street battles anyone?) hasn't helped their reputation.

The Japanese don't take kindly to foreign communities developing within their own communities and changing things. This ain't Western Europe!

“I often faced delays in garbage collection because vehicles driven by foreigners doing demolition work on houses would block the lanes without permission..."

Who owns the demolition companies and issues the work orders, I wonder.

@JeffLee I don't know about the current situation, but a lot of those demolition companies were owned by Koreans. It's a dirty and dangerous business that Japanese don't want to do. I've seen Iranians, Africans etc. working on demolition sites.

This sounds like a local issue. And like a lot of local issues I guess it is a handful of people making a lot of noise on X and other social media.

Everyone wants something but no one wants to do anything for it. If you help the Kurds, then the Thai community might feel left out (just an example).

The time you waste over this is not worth the bother. Just ignore it. you will always run into discrimination. If a person or a group think you are below them you know straight away who the better person. Look at Israel LOL. losers.
