Just after 1:00 PM today, a man who appeared to be quite elderly accosted some Chinese international students who were chatting and eating in the Komaba Cafeteria on the first floor, telling them, "You're in the way! This is Japan! Speak Japanese!" It did

However, I think it's precisely for this reason that the Co-op should make it clear that, as a space that makes up the university (and one that is extremely important for providing food), it should be a place that can be used safely regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or gender, and that this kind of hatred will not be tolerated, and I hope that the Co-op can also make this clear to users in the cafeteria.
