E-mail to the City office, that repeats prejudice

Moreover, 16 July last year, the City office received e-mail from a citizen who had wrong recognition "Public assistance recipient is Buraku people", criticizing "public assistance recipient plays pachinko all day long" or "we do not pay taxes for the people of discriminated-against buraku".

the office of human rights promotion exchanged mail several times. But when officer told "we, as the City, protest strongly because we can recognize that content of your mail is discriminatory", the corresponedence was broken off after last mail saying "Goodbye".

However, malignant discrimination mail "playing pachinko every day by the public assistance recipient living in Dowa area is flagrant" reached newly this year.

The City office protested and prompted to inform whereabouts, but there is no sign to accept it.

Because it is not a slander to the individual, the police cannot specify the perpetrator through the provider. the distribution of discrimination cannot be solved.
