Publisher Shinchosha Apologizes for Running Racist Column
From Kyodo:
In the column in the July 31 issue of "Shukan Shincho," published by Shinchosha, journalist Masayuki Takayama discussed naturalization and attacked author Ushio Fukazawa -- who is of Korean descent -- for speaking out against discriminatory attitudes in Japan.
Shinchosha said in a statement, "We offer our sincerest apologies. We are acutely aware of, and take responsibility for, our shortcomings as a publisher."
They should have obviously never run this racist trash but at least they were called out on it and they pulled it. The article also mentions previous anti-LGBT columns that this magazine ran in the past.
