''Could you imagine how you would look if you were a high Asian? Okay, its called chink eyed'

University student posts 'Totally Not Racist' video on Facebook

'Most Asians look alike- I don't want to look like everyone else,' he said in his first point.
'If I was an Asian man, chances are I'd probably be with an Asian woman and guess what: I don't find Asian women attractive. Kill me.
'Reason number three: sweatshops, they suck.'He goes on to list seven other supposed reasons, ranging from the fact that he doesn't like the taste of sushi to his fear that he will have 'double chink eyes' when he gets high.
'Could you imagine how you would look if you were a high Asian? Okay, its called chink eyed, well if you already have chink eyes- double chink eyes? Are your eyes just closed?' Hendrickson said in the video.

University Student Posts ‘Totally Not Racist’ Video Listing All the Racist Reasons He’d Hate to Be Asian [UPDATE]

Almost exactly two years to the day that UCLA student Alexandra Wallace posted her now-infamous "ching chong ling long" anti-Asian rant on YouTube, another university student is learning an important lesson about not being a racist on the Internet.

Indiana resident Samuel Hendrickson uploaded a video to his Facebook page yesterday that went viral overnight and generated a considerable amount of anger.

アジア人の悪口をいいながら、なぜ、アジア人になりたくないかを、youtubeで流したら、非難の嵐で、後に謝罪。


それにしても、アジア人についての否定的固定観念というのは一部では根深いものがあるんですね。

待機児童問題

「待機児童問題は厚労省の認可基準が原因」
2013.3.9 07:00 （2/5ページ）

「保育園の待機児童問題は厚生労働省の杓子定規な認可基準が原因の大きなひとつである。４０００億円もの保育園予算という一種の利権・権限を手放さない。園庭がなければいけない、もそう。都心の駅ナカ、駅チカではできないことになる。近くの公園を園庭と認めればよい。（１）

　「（２）東京都認証保育や５人以下保育ママ、今度新設する６から１９人の『スマート保育』など、多様なあり方を活用して打開策を考えたい。認証など認可外が保育の質を下げていると主張する原理主義者がいるが、保育士の資格だけがすべてではない。子育てを経験したお祖母ちゃんも戦力である」

　「（３）認可、認証、その他、多様な保育施設があり、世田谷区などは毎週、ＨＰで空室情報を更新しているが、杉並区は１２月に更新したままで、迅速で親身な情報を流していなかったので保護者に不安感与えた。今日、田中区長にスマート保育の申請があれば開所資金はすぐ出しますよと伝えた」

　「（４）認可でなくても、保育所によっては英語を教えたり、民間らしい工夫をして別の意味で質を高めているところもある。厚労省は昭和２２年に決めた施設基準のまま全国画一で地方分権を認めないが、大都会は時代とともに生きている」

　「（５）僕も子育ての経験があり認可になかなか入れず苦労した。零歳児の枠が少ないのだ。保護者の切実な事情よりも組合が保育士の待遇を優先しており、それが『保育の質』という厚労省の画一基準と合致していることに問題の本質がある」

　「（６）今回少人数の『東京スマート保育』は新しい創意工夫である。いま空家や空き店舗が増えているからビジネスチャンスがある。開所資金１５００万円は全額を補助する。ただ保育所ができればまた新しくはたらく女性が増えるので待機児童はつねに発生する。区は情報を点検すぐ対応しなければいけない」

　「（７）公立の認可に入れたのは上の子は４歳近く、下の子は３歳近く。保育士さんは５時に帰りました。保護者が迎えに来る２時間の間、実際にはたらいていたのは無資格のパートのお祖母ちゃんたちでした。核家族の子供はそのお祖母ちゃんからたくさんの智恵をいただき、いまでも感謝しています」

　「（８）保育士資格は東京で９万人。そのうち３万人は潜在的資格者で現場は６万人。毎年５０００人が大学・短大・専門学校で資格をとり社会に出ているはずですがどの程度実際に就業しているか正確には掴めません。公務員保育士は４０歳超で年収７００万円、民間はその半分ぐらいと考えられます」

Pyongyang's Provocations: What Motivates North Korean Threats?

By Andreas Lorenz

North Korea has responded to fresh UN sanctions by threatening to attack the US and escalate tensions with the South. But experts believe that the aggressive rhetoric has also been sparked by changing regional dynamics and hopes of rallying the people around their new leader.


There are three reasons for Kim's saber rattling. First, Pyongyang is apparently convinced that the rest of the world is out to get them. The regime also believes it is their right to possess nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles, just like its archenemy, the United States.

Second, Kim and his family aim to show their starving underlings that they are legitimate leaders capable of protecting the people from external enemies, who are supposedly the real reason for the country's miserable economic state. Chinese Professor Shi Yinhong said in a recent interview that the nuclear test's goal was "strengthening his reputation as leader with the North Korean public and the military."

Finally, Pyongyang is testing the limits of recent changes in the region's political landscape. Three nearby countries all have new leaders. In China, the National People's Congress is underway, during which delegates will install Communist Party leader Xi Jinping as state president. South Korea has a new President, Park Geun-hye. And a conservative government is back in power in Japan. Meanwhile, in the US, Sen. John Kerry has replaced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.



All it has to do to bring Kim Jong Un and his cronies to their knees is turn off the oil tap and halt food supplies.


Beijing agreed to the UN's latest sanctions knowing that they are open to interpretation and cannot inflict serious harm on the North Koreans.

こっちはそうした北朝鮮に関するシュピーゲルの分析だが、核武装する権利がある、政権の地固め、習、朴、安倍、ケリーなど新任者の動向をみる、などの目的があるのではないか、と。中国が油と食料を締め出してしまえばそれまでだが、制裁に本気になるかどうかは、きわめて疑問。

‘A wide range of explanations relating to circumstances and choices have been put forward for the increasing childlessness,’ the report from the Office for National Statistics said.
‘These include the decline in the proportion of women married, changes in the perceived costs and benefits of childrearing versus work and leisure activities, greater social acceptability of the child-free lifestyle, and the postponement of decisions about whether to have children until it may be biologically too late.’




The report said reasons for delay include the higher numbers going into higher education, delays to marriage and partnership formation, and ‘the desire to establish a career, get on the housing ladder and ensure financial stability before starting a family’.





Separate ONS research shows that less than half the adult women in Britain are now married.
Just 49 per cent of women over the age of 16 were wives in 2011, the first time the proportion has fallen under the halfway point, the General Lifestyle Survey found.
The proportion of married women was around three quarters at the end of the 1970s.

Rather than supporting a movement for new rights and equality, they admire the notion of femininity.

新しい権利や平等よりも女性らしさなんですねえ、最近は。

The study, funded by the taxpayer-supported Economic and Social Research Council, was based on in-depth interviews with groups of young women in both Britain and Germany.
It said that women who disliked feminism were reacting against the notion of man-hating and un-feminine campaigners.
Researcher Dr Christina Scharff of King’s College, London, said: ‘The term feminism provokes unease and even hostility.

Those women who think women in poorer countries are passive victims of oppression take it as evidence that they are not oppressed themselves, the study added.



。実際には、貧困な国々のほうが上級管理職につく女性の役割が多いんですが、事実はともかく、貧困な国では、女性は、受身な犠牲者であると思っている女性は、そのことを、自分たちは、虐げられていない、証拠としている、？？？？・・・要するに、ああやって虐げられているひとがいるなら、私たちは、虐げられていないのね、みたいなかんじでしょうかね？そうだとしたら、上から目線的視線で、自分たちとあの人たちを優劣秩序に分断する発想というのは、オリエンタリズム的な感覚なんでしょうね。
