Discriminatory Place-cards


A man living in Kishiwada city, in Osaka prefecture, has been posting place-cards on the outside wall of his home that display discriminatory messages. He does this because he is unhappy with the judgment of a lawsuit that he lost. The card says, "I have been harassed by eta [extreme filth]". He uses derogatory terms such as 'eta' in order to attack other people who were involved in the lawsuit. Despite repeated attempts to convince him to stop, he has not yet done so.
