Giving someone 'middle finger' in Japanese Sign Language doesn't mean what you think it does. The seemingly rude gesture is just a normal word when you put it into context but can you guess what it means? It might seem like a rude gesture to us but giving someone 'the finger' simply means 'brother' when you put it into the context of Japanese Sign Language.

However, while the middle finger might not actually mean something as crude as it does in American or English culture, many Japanese people are now more than aware of the double meaning after the gesture has emerged in films.

Deaf Japanese Tourist Denied Terp at Airport

Discrimination complaint filed after Deaf Japanese woman detained at Honolulu airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

HONOLULU, Hawaii -- An incident at the airport has the American Civil Liberties Union filing a discrimination complaint against a government agency.

The ACLU says a Deaf woman from Japan, who asked to remain anonymous, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Jan. 31 shortly after landing in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The ACLU says during that time, she repeatedly asked for an American Sign Language interpreter, but was instead forced to communicate by reading lips and writing.

During her overnight detention, the ACLU says she was handcuffed with her hands behind her back, which took away her ability to communicate.

“I was so scared and felt alone,” she said. “For people with deafness, being cut off from our ways of communicating is terrifying. I have traveled a lot, but have never experienced anything like this at any airport ever. With this complaint, I just want to make sure that other Deaf people coming through Hawaii’s airports are treated with basic respect and dignity, and that disabilities are accommodated.”

“The minimum dignity that you can afford someone is just the ability for them to communicate with you, and instead of doing that, they just denied her that right,” said ACLU legal director Mateo Caballero. “The ACLU’s complaint demands a full investigation and the training of custom and border agents so that other Deaf individuals do not experience the same traumatic detention practices as our client did.”

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman released the following statement in response:

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has received the complaint and will address these accusations once our investigation is completed. CBP takes accusations of mistreatment against travelers with disabilities very seriously. CBP officers receive extensive training in disability awareness and treat all travelers with disabilities with dignity, respect and professionalism.”

This Is Not 'F**k You' In Japanese Sign Language

Giving someone 'the finger' in Japanese Sign Language doesn't mean what you think it does.

The seemingly rude gesture is just a normal word when you put it into context but can you guess what it means? It might seem like a rude gesture to us but giving someone 'the finger' simply means 'brother' when you put it into the context of Japanese Sign Language.

Sticking up one middle finger is translated as 'ani' or 兄 which means 'older brother'.

Alternating two middle fingers in the air can be translated as 'kyoudai' or 兄弟 which simply means 'siblings'.

And while the Western world might attach a very different meaning to this gesture, it has never been known as a profanity in Japan. Japanese children are taught to attach names to all the fingers, according to Kotaku.com.

For example, the thumb is the 'father finger', the index finger is the 'mother finger', the middle finger is the brother finger', the ring finger is the 'sister finger' and the little finger is the 'baby finger'.

However, while the middle finger might not actually mean something as crude as it does in American or English culture, many Japanese people are now more than aware of the double meaning after the gesture has emerged in films.

Deaflympics & The Tokyo 2020 Paralympics

Deaf athletes could compete at Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, claims IPC President. Sir Philip Craven did not say this and had been misquoted.

TOKYO, Japan -- Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), has claimed discussions to introduce events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics are ongoing and could be successful by the time of the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

But the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) claimed that they had been led to believe that no such process was currently underway. "It is an objective to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics," Sir Philip said. "There has been communication about events being brought back [and] discussions will be ongoing."

Sir Philip highlighted a meeting he had with the new President of the ICSD, Russian Valery Rukhledev, during the International Olympic Committee's annual Session in Buenos Aires last month to illustrate that talks were underway.

"There will be a minimum of seven years of discussions, so it is not something likely for 2016 but it could be in future years," said Sir Philip. But Mark Cooper, chief executive of the ICSD, claimed that they had not been informed of any roadmap that would see them make their debut in the Paralympics at Tokyo 2020.

"ICSD has never been given a minimum amount of time for membership by the IPC," he told insidethegames. "In broad terms we asked before London 2012 about adding events for Deaf athletes and were told then that there was not enough time to do so.

"We asked what the procedure currently was and were told that no procedure was currently in place and that we should await further clarification from the IPC."

Although originally forming part of what was then know as the International Co-ordination Committee of World Sports Organisations for the Disabled (ICC) Deaf events broke away in 1996 following the formation of the IPC in 1989.

Cooper remained adamant that if Deaf events were returned to the Paralympics then it would still not spell the end for the Deaflympics - which were first held in Paris in 1924 so 36 years before the inaugural Paralympics at Rome in 1960. But he conceded "it has since become clear that the Paralympic Games has garnered a lot of attention and a higher profile".

The Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria this year enjoyed far less media attention than the Paralympic events at the Anniversary Games athletics in London, for example... Read The Full Story.

IPC Statement regarding Deaf sports and the Paralympic Games:

We note an incorrect report quoting IPC President Sir Philip Craven saying “It is an objective to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics,” in a story that claims Deaf athletes could compete at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.

Sir Philip Craven did not say this and had been misquoted.

What Sir Philip Craven in fact was referring to is that it is an objective of the ICSD (International Committee of Sports for the Deaf) to get some events for Deaf athletes into the Paralympics.

The IPC President also did not say that Deaf athletes could compete at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games as the headline suggests... Read The Full Story.

The Real Story of Deaf Teenage Girl

The real story of Deaf Korean teenage girl in a picture.

English description: This is the real story about Deaf teenage girl in South Korea painting of herself goes viral in a few years ago.

The story is about a Deaf Korean girl, her name is Sonee and she was the best artist student at Deaf school in Seoul, and suddenly shortly before she committed suicide, she drew this picture, and scanned it and posted it online.

The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girl's eyes for longer than 5 minutes...there are reports that some people have taken thier own lives after doing so...people says the picture changes.

Therefore, in South Korea this story broke out and it spread like wildfire. There are various posts around in Korean forums that say that the viewer gets drawn to the girl's blue eyes, they say they can detect a hint of wraith and sadness within the eyes. Maybe the girl had died with so much sadness and anger that her spirit haunts the image, or maybe the image provokes sadness.

Can you tell it? But first at all, you have to click full screen of this video and do not move your eyes, just stare at the picture and you will notice that the picture is suddenly changing.
