OSAKA -- The Osaka Prefectural Government will discard new booklets aimed at raising students' awareness of human rights after a Korean organization and the prefectural board of education complained that a cartoon in it would reinforce Japanese prejudice against Koreans, informed sources said.
The booklets were compiled by Osaka Prefecture's Human Rights Affairs Office.
The cartoon depicts a Korean mother asking her son, who cannot get a job because he has used his Korean name, "Why don't you use your Japanese name while seeking a job?"
