even if they are public schools.\u003cbr\u003e (…) As children approach school age, many people move near high-ranking schools. \u003cbr\u003eWhen a popular school receives a surge of applicants and exceeds its capacity, local governments measure the distance from the school gate to the applicants' homes and approve admission in order of proximity.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, housing prices near top schools are skyrocketing, and the residential areas of rich and poor are becoming increasingly segregated.\u003cbr\u003e This is a social problem that has recently emerged and is called 'social apartheid'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As society becomes more diverse, the forms of racial discrimination have also increased and become more complex.\u003cbr\u003e Even if we lump them all together under the single word 'immigrant', it includes all races and countries of origin.\u003cbr\u003e Among immigrants, there are those who engage in racist language and actions, while others retaliate in kind.\u003cbr\u003e The British who watch the battle take sides and discriminate against the other side. \u003cbr\u003eI was concerned that my son might be discriminated against by white people when I decided to send him to a predominantly white British school.\u003cbr\u003e But I honestly didn't expect to run into a racist immigrant child.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.41\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sympathy is a feeling that arises naturally without any effort, as it is something we feel when we see someone pitiful, someone with a problem, or someone who shares our views.\u003cbr\u003e But Empathy is different.\u003cbr\u003e It is the ability to imagine what people who have different ideologies or beliefs than you, or who are not so pitiful, are thinking. \u003cbr\u003eIf sympathy is an emotional state, empathy can be described as an intellectual exercise. It's remarkable that eleven-year-olds are learning about empathy in Britain, a country where divisions and conflicts are increasingly severe—between Leavers and Remainers, immigrants and Britons, the gap between the upper and lower classes, the gap between the rich and the poor, the elderly and the young, and the countless layers between immigrants.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On this side of the pool, middle school students in swimsuits were standing close enough that their shoulders were brushing, crouching down.\u003cbr\u003e (…) On the other hand, there was plenty of space on the other side of the pool, so students could do warm-up exercises by turning their waists, sit down and stretch their legs elegantly, or laugh and chat with each other.\u003cbr\u003e If this side was the place for the common people, then that side seemed like a vacation spot for the privileged class.\u003cbr\u003e This is by no means a metaphor.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the children of the common people and the privileged class were separated, so they couldn't even laugh.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.108\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMiddle-class young people who smoke drugs in fancy clubs along the coast are oblivious to the risks that the kids in the public housing complex are taking to get them.\u003cbr\u003e (…) The people in front do not know what is happening in the back and do not try to see it.\u003cbr\u003e Some intellectuals, secretly satisfied with their clever remarks, argue that because politics does not redistribute wealth, wealth is transferred from middle-class youth to lower-class youth through drug sales.\u003cbr\u003e But the redistribution at the bottom is stained with blood.\u003cbr\u003e In this grassroots redistribution, it is always the poor youth and children who suffer the consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

\u003cbr\u003eChildren grow up in a world rife with discrimination and violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Japanese author who has lived in the UK for over 20 years has written about the vivid realities she experienced while raising a child at the bottom of British society, which is suffering from class disparity and multiculturalism.\u003cbr\u003e This is the hotly anticipated bestseller, \"I Am Yellow, White, and a Little Blue,\" which swept various book awards, including the Bookstore Grand Prize, last year and was selected as the best book by readers, experts, bookstores, and librarians.\u003cbr\u003e Brady Mikako, whose previous work, \"Class Struggle: The Children of the World,\" told the story of free daycare in Britain during the austerity era, now explores the sensitive issues of diversity and discrimination by observing the complex and nuanced experiences of her son, who has just started middle school, with friends from different backgrounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The story begins when the author's son, who was attending a prestigious Catholic elementary school, suddenly announces that he will be enrolling in a local middle school. \u003cbr\u003eThe local middle school, which was called 'the lowest ranked public school in the lowest neighborhood', is a chaotic world rife with discrimination and violence.\u003cbr\u003e The author worries that small Asian children might experience racism or violence in a predominantly white school.\u003cbr\u003e But contrary to the parents' worries, the child bravely moves forward.\u003cbr\u003e The “Yellow White” child grows up in a place where complex conflicts such as racial discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, anti-immigrant sentiment, and sexual minority issues are intertwined, clashing with, fighting with, and worrying about friends of different races, nationalities, and classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiscrimination has become more complex, violence has become more diverse, and class distinctions have become more rigid.\u003cbr\u003e “This may be the near future of Korean society.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A neighborhood in a British provincial city where public housing is concentrated. \u003cbr\u003eOn the surface, it looks like just a 'poor neighborhood', but in reality, it is a mix of people living in public housing, people who bought public housing, and people who remodeled their purchased public housing to fit the latest trends.\u003cbr\u003e The middle school that the neighborhood's children attend is a mix of free lunch recipients, middle class, immigrants, indigenous people, whites, and people of color.\u003cbr\u003e The author worried that the child would be discriminated against by white people or subjected to violence because of his small size, but the nature of discrimination and violence is much more complex.\u003cbr\u003e Immigrants and people of color were ostracized by other immigrants, children who scolded their friends for stealing food from restaurants were punished with violence, and a child who made hateful remarks was bullied by a group for being \"uncool.\" \u003cbr\u003eThey show prejudice disguised as kindness and concern for 'people different from themselves', and justify violence on the grounds of political correctness and freedom of taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The divisions and conflicts in society are already so deep-rooted that it is difficult to dismiss them as children's reckless behavior.\u003cbr\u003e Amidst the fiercely divided public opinion surrounding Brexit, the dual attitudes toward immigrants, and the cold gaze of the middle class towards the lower classes, the children's battleground was already anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e The sight of middle school swimming competitions, where even the poolsides of private and public schools are separated, vividly shows the class-based society of the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because schools are a mirror reflecting society, there are bound to always be gaps among students.\u003cbr\u003e But in places where the gap was allowed to widen, there was no sense of warmth.\u003cbr\u003e It was dark and stiff, and it didn't seem like anything new or fun would happen. \u003cbr\u003eI think that's evidence that it's already starting to decline._Page 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author's gaze, which calmly observes what is happening around him and his son, sharply penetrates the dark side of British society, where the pride of 'civil society' is deeply rooted.\u003cbr\u003e Beyond the schools rife with disparities, discrimination, and violence, what was revealed was a 'collapsed welfare state' and a 'multicultural society driven into a dead end' due to the conservative government's austerity policies.\u003cbr\u003e The author sternly warns of the dangers of a society that doesn't know, or doesn't try to know, what's happening in public housing, poolside, or the back of the classroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“It’s natural for everyone to be different.”\u003cbr\u003e Children living in the 'Age of Empathy'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite adults' concerns, children overcome the challenges of discrimination and diversity one by one in their own ways. \u003cbr\u003eWe reach out to friends who make hateful remarks, try to help poor friends without hurting their pride, and encourage friends who are struggling with their sexual identity by saying, “You just have to take your time and figure it out.”\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes, they encounter problems that seem unsolvable, but the attitude of children who “boldly say, ‘Let’s leave it at this for now,’ and face it head-on, constantly encountering new things” gives great courage to adults of the same age who are burdened with the same concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It may be a cliché, but the future lies in the hands of those children.\u003cbr\u003e Some people say the world is regressing or moving in a terrible direction, but aren't they underestimating children?\u003cbr\u003e Page 203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Racism still exists, bullying persists, and children are forced to wear tattered uniforms to school, but life goes on. \u003cbr\u003eEven if they think differently from me, even if I don't understand them, and even if they sometimes hate me, I accept them and coexist with them.\u003cbr\u003e The author points out that in a world where adults divide people into factions and confront each other over various issues, and cannot even tolerate the existence of opposing factions, children live by calmly accepting the reality that \"there are people who are different from me.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes 'empathy' as the most important ability we must have to survive in a multicultural society.\u003cbr\u003e The ability to understand the emotions and experiences of others is perhaps the most necessary virtue in our society, where divisions and conflicts are becoming increasingly severe, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, generational conflict, multiculturalism, and political strife.\u003cbr\u003e 'Empathy' is a profound concept that even adults find difficult to answer, but the author's son explains it very simply.\u003cbr\u003e “It’s like putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.” \u003cbr\u003eAs the Asahi Shimbun commented, “A most promising writer who knows how to magically blend humor and subtlety while simultaneously attacking rotten politics with sharp and punk writing,” Brady Mikako’s writing, which humorously describes her son’s stormy school life while also exposing the dark side of society with a sharp perspective, resonates deeply with us living in this era.
