The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo criticized Japan's public broadcaster NHK on Tuesday for airing an "offensive and insensitive" anime video that attempted to explain the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing protests against police brutality that have swept the United States.
The video makes no mention of police brutality or George Floyd, whose death while in Minneapolis police custody sparked the protests. Joseph Young, the most senior diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, tweeted: "While we understand @NHK’s intent to address complex racial issues in the United States, it’s unfortunate that more thought and care didn’t go into this video. The caricatures used are offensive and insensitive."
"The clip was posted after a lack of consideration, and we would like to apologize to anyone who was made to feel uncomfortable," the broadcaster said.
