The inclusion of a section referring to a 2nd Koza Riot, a purported disturbance that is referenced in Mandarin Chinese language to an article from North Korea is highly dubious at best, and a blatantly racist attempt at creating a false history (and a vandalism of Wikipedia) at worst.

- Just because you can't read Japanese doesn't mean all statements in that language are false. Here is the website of the Okinawa Times, a respected newspaper: [1] Here is the Japanese Wikipedia article for the second Koza riot: [2] Shii (tock) 05:59, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

The Fort Lawton Riot wording is a blatant attempt to repaint the incident as some sort of Black men behaving wildly. The use of "Italian Servicemen" as opposed to "Italian POW's" attempts to mask the true nature of the event. AndreQ (talk) 01:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Is it okay to brutalize POWs? I thought there was some sort of international convention on that. Shii (tock) 06:01, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- You are very quick to blame blacks and to use harsh language. What is your true motive here? AndreQ (talk) 16:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that there are some issues here. First a riot is not the same as a mutiny. Second the source is sketchy and too close to the event. Third there's other troubling language in the article.Volunteer Marek 21:07, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- What does "too close to the event" mean? I thought newspapers were reliable. Shii (tock) 22:49, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
