Some Missouri college students bashing Japan
The student center at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) is
host to an eatery named “Sunshine Sushi.”
This establishment has some students shuddering in fear of its
logo. The frightening logo features a
sun rising with the rays of sun beaming outward. It can be claimed it may resemble Japan’s
Rising Sun flag.
The Rising Sun Flag is the flag of the Japanese Navy
(Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force – JMSDF) created around 1870. The students fearing their “safe space” was
being violated by this logo complained to university administrators.
The students are of Korean and Chinese extraction and claim
the resemblance to the Rising Sun flag is equivalent to the Nazi flag causing
their fear.
Their lack of reasoning stems from during World War Two
Korea and China were involved with Japan.
The owner of the Sunshine Sushi eatery is a gentleman named Oo Min
Aung.
Oo Min Aung migrated from Burma (Myanmar) years ago when
that nation was suffering under the Communist regime. He was able to start his eatery in freedom
and to him that logo represents the freedom he enjoys in the USA.
Mr. Oo Min Aung said that "even though the logo of the
company has similarity of Imperial Japanese, it actually means shining rays."
The complaining students fearing the logo must all live in
fear twice a day when the sun rises with its rays and later sets offering more
rays. Truth is, there is no fear, just
old fashioned Japan bashing.
If that logo truly represents the Japanese Rising Sun Flag
then why did Mr. Aung select it? He
comes from Burma and that country was occupied by the Japanese during World War
Two. Yet he has no fear of the flag or
outward hate towards the Japanese. Why
is it out of all the nations Japan occupied during that war it is only Koreans
and Chinese participating in this Japan bashing?
