"Get out of Japan!"
"Cockroach."
"Kimchi."
Those were just some of the insults hurled at a demonstration
on Feb. 21 in Tokyo's Minato Ward.
More than 100 protesters belonging to several groups describing
themselves as "active conservatives" gathered in front of a
building that houses both the consular affairs department of
the South Korean Embassy and the offices of the Korean Residents
Union in Japan (Mindan). http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201004130433.html
