S3#33 Things I Want to Say #ZatsupoDay vol.6

I'm a little frustrated by the prejudices against people from Okinawa Prefecture.

The main topic of the talk revolves around stories about her hometown, Okinawa Prefecture. She reveals that she feels a bit perplexed whenever she tells people she is from Okinawa and they respond by saying "That's amazing!" It seems that because the attractive aspects of Okinawa, such as its grand nature and food culture, are emphasized too much, she feels as though she is being treated as someone detached from reality.

There are times I want to refute arbitrary assumptions.

In addition, she touches upon various images often projected onto people from Okinawa, such as being good at drinking alcohol or being talented at dancing. Kokono Sankaku discusses how these are also stereotypical tropes that have inflated on their own without the people involved knowing. The talk is filled with relatable "that's so true" moments. Please listen to the full episode to hear the rest of her story.
