The Asahi Shimbun recently referenced this famous movie scene in an editorial about xenophobia in the Upper House election:
"If we allow discrimination against foreigners because we consider ourselves Japanese, other minorities could end up becoming future targets.
For example, the party that calls for placing priority on Japanese has criticized the gender equality program as wrong, blaming working women for the low birthrate.
That party has also called for patients in terminal care to pay their own way for life extending treatment to reduce medical expenses.
In a society where discrimination is allowed, there is no telling when one may find oneself on the side of those being discriminated against."
