On this episode, I speak to Miki Dezaki, continuing on exploring and deconstructing racism. We speak about his time practicing meditation as a monk in Thailand as well as discussion on Buddhist traditions, racism and nationalism. Dezaki directed the film "Shusenjo - The Main Battleground of the Comfort Women Issue".

Who are the "comfort women" and the sexual slavery discussions between Japan and Korea? We explore these topics in part 1 of 2 of the conversation.
