Japan, New Zealand march to mourn George Floyd, seek change

Holding handmade signs that read “Black Lives Matter,” hundreds of people marched peacefully in Tokyo on Sunday, highlighting the outrage over the death of George Floyd even in a country often perceived as homogeneous and untouched by racial issues. Mitsuaki Shidara, standing in the crowd at Yoyogi Park, where the march began, said Japan has plenty of discrimination problems, but they're overlooked. “What’s happening in the U.S. shows racism is going on, even after 400 years,” said Shidara, who works for a food maker.
