Formal vs. Informal
This phrase is formal and should not be used in casual settings. For informal contexts, consider phrases like '見た目で判断するのはやめよう' ('Let's stop judging people by their appearance').
📖Word Origin
The phrase combines three Japanese words: 容姿 (yōshi, 'appearance/looks'), 差別 (sabetsu, 'discrimination'), and 反対する (hantai suru, 'to oppose'). The term emerged in the late 20th century as awareness of social discrimination grew, particularly in workplace and media contexts.
📝Usage Notes
This phrase is typically used in formal or activist contexts. It is not commonly used in casual conversation. The term 差別 (sabetsu) can refer to various forms of discrimination (e.g., racial, gender, age), so context is important to clarify the type of discrimination being opposed.
