    Earthquakes are common in Japan that everyone's prepared with safety helmets, packed spare bags etc so strangely doesn't feel too newsy

    More Chinese doesn't mean others should be invisible. I've lived here 20 yrs! These attitudes prevent integration

    Indeed but there's a much bigger Chinese presence in UK. They should be used as an example of how to integrate properly.

    I'm Japanese not Chinese! Orientals have their differences...

    Not just women. Chinese are perfect example of how to integrate properly, still maintain traditions & not cause civil unrest.

    Although it's 2nd anniversary , many other girls are also kidnapped by BH. Horrible for every family not just

    Only 15 of the 219 who were kidnapped are in the video. Of course propaganda videos can never be verified, which makes it more agonising

    Of course for most POC freelancers its the only way you can make a (borderline) living

    Invariably, topic turns to how white editors try to approach POC writers. So often the approach is to get us writing about being not white.
