with the appearance of an animated doll that is the father figure&#8217;s pride and joy, but also dispenses advice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;As well as promoting all these stereotypes, why are they not talking about visitation issues for foreigners whose half-Japanese children have been abducted by their ex-wives?&#8221; asked Arudou.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Several foreigners who have been unable to see their children for years have already contacted Arudou to express their anger, with a number of US nationals saying they would pass the document onto lawmakers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Arudou&#8217;s post on the issue on his website has also attracted attention, with commentators describing the pamphlet as &#8220;racist propaganda&#8221;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;This is disgusting,&#8221;
