Korean Activist Group Want Retailers to Boycott Japanese Cosmetic Firm Because of Racism Complaint
Here is the latest boycott Japan initiative to come out of Korea:
Retailers around the world including Target and Superdrug face pressure to cut ties with DHC as the Japanese cosmetics company refuses to apologize for its CEO’s racially discriminatory remarks against Koreans.
Activists have launched a campaign to boycott DHC products after CEO Yoshiaki Yoshida’s use of the term “Chon” — a racial slur for Koreans — came to light earlier this month.
“By selling DHC products, they are supporting the business of an openly racist company,” Tommy Hasegawa, the leader of student-led anti-discrimination group Moving Beyond Hate, told The Korea Herald.
Moving Beyond Hate is among the activists urging corporations to cut ties with the cosmetics brand.

Race race race race race… so tiresome.
Japanese being “racist” to Koreans is like Swedes being racist to Norwegians.
Japan and Korea are nationalities.
I can clearly see the difference between nationality and race, why can’t they?
Perhaps it is my big, beautiful, round eyes?
Frankly, this Hasegawa dude sounds like the Japanese are organizing the boycott to cash in on it for Japan–much like AOC’s attempted boycott of GOYA beans led to an explosion in sales…
Mind you, I don’t believe any Proglodytes would catch on if there was explicit video of the planning sessions; but it’s wild the Koreans picked a member of the Chrysanthemum Club as their spokesmodel.
