Criticism
In October 2015 a viral video titled Black in Japan [3] released by Youtube User Rachel & Jun on youtube raised the issued of racism in Japan. In an interview by OWJ News Analyst Maurice Yandiorio told that the newspaper sistematically carries out manufactured racism by underlining people's occupation or ethnic origin in crime related articles.[4] The Analyst then explains that the attitude used by Japan Today is quite normal as virtually all major international newspapers tends de facto to discriminate, althoug Japan culture descrimination is also based on the occupation of the individual.
