1 comment:
The history of a country is that of rulers. If I were a king, I would not let anyone I don't like enter my kingdom. If there were the international society in the world, who would give hands to the poor people? They don't really want to accept the poor people, but they accept them so that they are admired by the international society. In the end, they are fully accepted by the international society and play an important role in it. Canada had a policy for only white people, which was the same as Australia. Japan has not given the right to vote to the Korean people living for several decades in Japan because their nationality is not Japan. Japanese government insists that Korean people should change the nationality. However, they should think why the Korean people are supposed to live in Japan.
It's difficult. I might not fall asleep tonight.
