>*Japanese* people discriminate against *people of color*
Oh how the tables have turned...
Liberals like to bring up this "99% conviction rate" number as a way to frame Japan in a light of "See? The only reason their streets are clean and their society functions in an orderly manner is because it's secretly a totalitarian police state, wherein if you're so much as accused of misconduct you'll be locked in a pit, and they'll throw away the key!"
The fact is, that 99% conviction rate is more likely an indication that they're letting guilty people walk free, rather than locking up innocent people, because the only reason it's so high is that the state won't even bring the case to trial if they don't have an absolutely rock solid case.
So there must be some *other* reason it's a clean, safe, well functioning society. Hm...

A few years ago, I read about a black in Japan who was complaining that he was resisted by this native who opposed his plan to make it easier for blacks to move to Japan. He cursed the native as a "white supremacist", showing that the epithet is an indicator of the accuser's emotional state, not a description of reality.
The country is another jewish vassal state, though they didn't have a preexisting religion like we did, so the entire country has essentially adopted judiasm. Back in 2015 they were writing that every Korean home had a talmud in it, and has been a best seller year over year.

A 99.9% conviction rate means that either your justice is exceptionally good, or incredibly terrible. Considering how governments have been forever, it's not hard to suspect the latter.
It sounds good when you think about all the evil things in our own nations that go unpunished, but imagine if you got caught up in it as an innocent tourist. Anyone have any stories?
