re: 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. Yeah, it's not easy to come up with an analogy to southerns. But really, imagine if there was a symbol where you, as a Korean, the first thing you thought of was idolization of the whole "comfort woman" thing. That's how most blacks see the confederate flag... a glorification of slavery. Regardless of the intention of the person flying the flag. So should flying a confederate flag be outlawed? No. But you've got to figure the person doing it is an insensitive lout. Should praising the incidents of comfort women be outlawed? No. But that doesn't mean Ten can't despise the person that does it.
