Talk:Vietnamese people in Japan

"Anecdotal content"

There was this content that was later removed here that consisted of the following text:

" In Chiba prefecture, Matsudo city, Japan, a Mutsumi Daini Elementary school parents group head, a 47 year old Japanese man named Yasumasa Shibuya raped and murdered a 9 year old Vietnamese girl named Lê Thị Nhật Linh (originally from Nam Định) on 24 March 2017 and her body was left in Abiko. The Japanese court gave him a life sentence instead of execution which lead to outrage among Vietnamese people

In Namba, Osaka city, Japan, a Vietnamese man was thrown into a river and attacked and died on 2 August 2021 which was caught on video. The Vietnamese had graduated rom Ashiya International Academy in a course of the Japanese language.

Japanese employers often subject Vietnamese female employees to sexual harassment. One Japanese boss and his Japanese male employees sexually harassed a 30 year old Vietnamese female trainee in 2018-2019, with an employee groping her and the boss asking her to swallow his sperm. She was fired after she tried to defend herself by throwing a steel pipe at the groper. The Japanese boss dismissed her complains saying that his remarks about swalling sperm was supposed to be a "joke". Japanese employeers like the organization for Technical Training (OTIT) ignored reports of sexual violence.

A 59 year old Japanese man named Yamaguchi Toshiya murdered a V..T.L.Q, a Vietnamese woman who was 31 years old on 3 April 2022 who was working in the Yodogawa district of Osaka. He claimed he wanted her money.

In January 2021, during the COVID-19 epidemic that stopped travel between Vietnam and Japan, a Japanese Nagoya district court gave a jail term of a year and a half to a Vietnamese woman who forged an ID card and residence card pretending to be a vocational student after coming on a visitor visa for the short term, since she was stuck in Japan since March 2020 due to Covid while she was working at a bento factory and left her original vocational school in Gifu after attending an Aichi prefecture Inuyama based Japanese school after coming in Jun 2017. As a result she is unable to work and stuck in Japan.

A 45 year old Japanese man Namita Masunobu in 2012 manipulated a 29 year old Vietnamese woman named Tran Thi Mai Khoa in Ho Chi Minh City claiming he was divorced and had sex with her and impregnated her and tricked her into signing papers which gave him custody of the baby. He had in fact lied to her because he never divorced and his Japanese wife could not bear children so he needed to se her to have a child.

Many young Vietnamese trainees and students working in Japan experience difficulties and discrimination, going into debt, being unable to go back to Vietnam and ended up committing suicide. A 20 year old Vietnamese boy Nguyen committed suicide by train as he was in debt at his Japanese language school while working at restaurants. Vu Van Cuong, a 22 year old Vietnamese man died when he fell during construction work at a sewage plant 3 months after Nguyen died in December 2018. The Vietnamese Buddhist nun Thich Tam Tri said she held funeral services since 2012 for mostly young twenties and thirties year old Vietnamese youth, around 140 including Vu and Nugyen. The Tokyo Nisshinktusu temple holds memorial tablets for them. "

But going over it I'm not sure if this content is actually irrelevant or not, I don't typically write about diaspora-related articles but I compared it with the similar article about Zainichi Koreans, namely "Koreans in Japan", that article contains several anecdotes similar to this such as those about Koreans that use a T'ongmyŏng and those that don't. In the above text some of the above text is indeed just not exactly relevant to the wider concept such as the anecdotes about Tran Thi Mai Khoa and the one about Vu Van Cuong, but I'd say that the section about sexual harassment experienced by female workers, which does mention an anecdotal story is about a larger culture and simply uses that one example to illustrate it. That is to say, I am suggesting not restoring the content about individuals unless they specifically mention wider societal issues that Vietnamese people in Japan have to face, which is something I think that the article "Koreans in Japan" also does.

Similarly, I think that the SARS-Coronavirus-2 content could also be restored by simply removing the anecdote about the woman who got jailed for forging a document. --Donald Trung (talk) 06:30, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
