JAPAN: Racism against migrant workers

In Japan, thousands of people took to the streets of Osaka and Tokyo in July to protest against racism. As well as showing solidarity with US protests, people protested about the rarely acknowledged subject of racism against biracial Japanese citizens and against non-Japanese people resident in Japan. With Japan’s population ageing, more people have come from other countries to work, but they experience discrimination and can be on the receiving end of police violence.
