Everything about Sangokujin totally explained
Sangokujin (
Japanese: 三国人; "third country national") is a
Japanese derogatory term referring to
colonial nationals of
Taiwan (
Taiwanese aboriginal),
Korea and
China. The original usage of the term is said to be coined to establish a separate political and ethnic identity for ex-colonial nationals, especially Koreans.
One common interpretation is that "sangokujin" refers to
zainichi Koreans who were conscripted into the
Imperial Japanese Army or brought to Japan as laborers and settled in Japan after
World War II and the
Korean War with a "special permit of
permanent residency" (特別永住資格, see also )—a residency status that denies suffrage and limits
koseki-related rights. The term can also apply to colonial subjects from Taiwan and those who voluntarily migrated to Japan before and after World War II.
The term was becoming something of an anachronism until the nationalist
Tokyo Metropolitan Governor
Shintaro Ishihara revived it in an
April 9,
2000 address to the
Japanese Self Defence Forces to suggest that crimes would be committed by illegal stay foreigners in the aftermath of an earthquake. Ishihara received widespread criticism for this.
