An example would be if someone displayed the old Japanese flag with the rays coming out of the sun, rather than the modern one without the rays. Its not directly a symbol of the comfort woman program, but that makes a better match to the confederate flag. A flag of a slavery program, or a flag that directly calls for or supports slavery, would be more offensive than a flag of a nation that had slavery.

JF, > Just as an "in your shoes" exercise, what would you think about someone displaying a symbol of support for Korean "comfort women"? The problem is that you'd have to show me such a symbol as well as proof that whoever is displaying such a symbol these days is in support of forcing Koreans to become "comfort women." Knowing what I do about Japanese culture, I know you'll have a very hard time trying to come up with such an analogy. Even the Japanese conservatives, when it comes to the subject of "comfort women," choose denial over acceptance. Either way, the denial is their problem, and the truth can never be covered up. And I don't have to assign beliefs to them that they do not hold, unlike the PC thought-control police who assign slavery to everyone who flies the Confederate Flag. Tenchusatsu
