DEBITO.ORG NEWSLETTER OCT 14, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello Debito.org Newsletter Readers. My latest Japan Times JBC column 109 has come out. Excerpt:<\/p>\n

=============================
\n\u201c\u2018Attach the evidence and wait for your day in court,\u2019 says Turkish plaintiff after Osaka victory\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ibrahim Yener, a Turkish national and 14-year resident of Japan, was refused service last October by an Osaka used car dealer, which stated in an email (text at www.debito.org\/?p=14743<\/a>) that they would not serve foreign customers. The car company also stipulated that even if the customer legally holds Japanese citizenship, they would only sell to people who could \u201chold their own (sonshoku ga nai) against native speakers\u201d in terms of Japanese language ability (as determined solely by the car company).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yener felt this was discriminatory, filed suit and won. The presiding judge said that it \u201cwas based on prejudice that a foreigner would cause trouble and does not justify the discriminatory treatment.\u201d But what made this case particularly noteworthy is that Yener navigated Japan\u2019s legal system all by himself \u2014 without a lawyer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus this case offers potential lessons for other non-Japanese or international Japanese who face similar discrimination. JBC contacted Yener last week to find out more about the thinking behind bringing the case\u2026<\/em><\/strong>

HOPEFUL SIGNS?<\/strong>
\n 1) New Japanese \u201cParty of Hope\u201d remains unhopeful for Japan\u2019s NJ residents, requiring new party entrants to deny all NJ voting rights<\/strong><\/p>\n

In case you haven\u2019t heard, the center-left (and former governing party) Democratic Party of Japan (once Minshuutou, now Minshintou), has suffered a further blow to its existence, now having to sell its factional soul to a new party (Kibou no Tou, or the \u201cParty of Hope\u201d) headed by a name-brand candidate and Governor of Tokyo (Koike Yuriko). Koike is ostensibly just about as far-right as PM Abe\u2019s Liberal Democratic Party. As proof of that: In the JT article below, KnoT is demanding as a litmus test that new party entrants from the DPJ sign on to a party platform denying NJ residents (including Permanent Residents) the right to vote in any elections.<\/p>\n

Given that PR in Japan, a legal status that is reasonably hard to achieve (and specific to Japan when it comes to its \u201cSpecial Permanent Residents\u201d (tokubetsu eijuusha), i.e., the Zainichi Koreans and Chinese \u201cgenerational foreigners\u201d and descendants of former citizens of empire), requires significant time and commitment to Japan, this is yet another slap in the face to people who stay (in many cases their entire lives), pay taxes, and contribute to society the same as any other citizen. The alarmism that KnoT in the article below displays is straight out of the LDP handbook \u2014 arguing that giving foreigners any power would mean they would turn against Japan, even secede \u2014 which is nothing short of distrust of foreigners\u2019 very existence in society. Or xenophobia, for short.<\/p>\n

In sum, voters have a choice between two viable parties now, both rightist with essentially the same platform, except that one is PM Abe and one is Rewarmed Abe, for those who don\u2019t like the man and would prefer a shiny new woman. Sigh. Meanwhile, Japan\u2019s tolerant left will remain in disarray for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

2) \u201cJapanese Only\u201d signs come down in Monbetsu, Hokkaido. Finally. It only took 22 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, friends Olaf and James wrote in to say that they went down Hamanasu Doori in Monbetsu, a seaport town in Eastern Outback Hokkaido. Here\u2019s what book \u201cEmbedded Racism\u201d Ch. 3 has to say about this case (expanded from the original entry on the Rogues\u2019 Gallery of Exclusionary Establishments on Debito.org):<\/p>\n

============================
\nMonbetsu, Hokkaid\u014d<\/strong>
\nPlace<\/strong>: Miscellaneous places around Monbetsu City (Hokkaid\u014d) (two public\/private sector bathhouses, a ramen shop, a restaurant, a karaoke parlor, and more than 100 bars).<\/em>
\nBackground<\/strong>: According to newspaper articles, plus several visits and interviews between 2000 and 2009 by the author and other activists, since 1995 Monbetsu\u2019s local restaurateurs\u2019 association (inshokuten kumiai) created and sold standardized signs in Cyrillic saying \u201cJapanese Only Store\u201d (Nihonjin sen\u2019y\u014d ten) that went up on over 100 bars and restaurants in the Hamanasu D\u014dri nightlife district. Interviews with bars displaying the signs revealed fears of Russian sailors\u2019 custom, including the language barrier, drunken unruliness, nonpayment of bills, rumors of rape, surrounding Japanese customer dissatisfaction, and ties to Russian organized crime (although many interviewees said they had no actual experience with any of these issues \u2013 the sign was a preventive measure); some refused the author\u2019s business even though he is not Russian and was accompanied by other Japanese. Three restaurants and a karaoke parlor expressed similar sentiments, and said they would have refused the author had he not been a fluent Japanese speaker. Two bathhouses (one private-sector, one public\/private (dai-san sekut\u0101)) claimed drunk and unruly Russian bathers were driving away Japanese customers).<\/em><\/p>\n

Action taken by observers\/activists<\/strong>: In July 2000, the Japanese Ministry of Justice, Bureau of Human Rights (jinken y\u014dgobu) Asahikawa Branch wrote a letter (see ER Chapter Eight) to the restaurateurs\u2019 association calling their activities \u201cclear racial discrimination against foreigners,\u201d demanding they remove their exclusionary signs. In an interview with the author in April 2001, the kumiai head claimed that these signs were now the property of their respective purchasers, and what they did with them was not their concern. After extensive media exposure of the situation in local newspapers and national TV between 2000 and 2005, signs began coming down, and further interviews and media exposure of the restaurants, karaoke parlor, and the bathhouses resulted in exclusionary rules being rescinded in the karaoke parlor, one restaurant and the public\/private-sector bathhouse. In 2006, an interview with another restaurant enabled the author to personally take down one of the Cyrillic signs with permission. In 2004, the author and one other activist submitted a petition (chinj\u014d) to pass a local anti-discrimination ordinance (j\u014drei), which subsequently died in committee.<\/em>
\n============================<\/p>\n

So the update is: The exclusionary signs are down in Hamanasu Doori. Pity it only took 22 years for it to happen, apparently by attrition. No thanks to the Monbetsu City Government, natch.<\/p>\n

3) Nikkei: Japan\u2019s \u201cJapanese Only\u201d apartment rental market may adversely affect NJ worker retention during labor shortage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nikkei: This year, the country released a first of its kind national survey that highlighted the extent of housing discrimination foreigners face. According to the study, released by the Ministry of Justice in March, out of 2,044 foreign residents who had sought housing within the past five years, 39.3% reported being turned down because they were not Japanese.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The impact is now being felt by employers. In recent years, numerous Japanese manufacturers and services have been trying to make up for the country\u2019s shrinking labor force by looking elsewhere for workers. They want to create an inflow of talent, but housing discrimination could become a dam. As of last October, Japan had 1.08 million foreign workers, up 58% from five years earlier, accounting for around 2% of the total workforce, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. [\u2026]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The IT industry is suffering from a significant labor shortage, and the consultancy was acutely aware of the discrimination problem last year when it welcomed a systems engineer from the Philippines. To dodge any hassles, the company consulted a property agent that caters to foreigners, whom industry players describe as an \u201cunderwhelming minority\u201d in Tokyo. Even real estate agencies with experience helping foreigners run into the same problem: \u201cAlmost nine of 10 private housing units in Tokyo do not allow foreign tenants,\u201d according to Masao Ogino, CEO of the Ichii Group. \u201cIt is still an extremely exclusive market.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tsuyoshi Yamada, a human resources manager at Total OA Systems, said a lack of sufficient support for non-Japanese employees, including in regard to housing, could throw a hurdle up in front of the company\u2019s plan to bring in overseas talent. This concern is particularly strong for smaller IT companies like Yamada\u2019s. \u201cEven if we finally find a promising engineer,\u201d he said, \u201cretention could become a problem.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

4) \u201cJapanese Only\u201d rules mutate: Hagoromo-yu, a bathhouse excluding LGBT in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, in reaction to local same-sex-partner ordinance<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Debito.org has argued for decades, if you don\u2019t make discrimination explicitly illegal, it spreads and mutates.<\/p>\n

Now we have a bathhouse (the most famous type of \u201cJapanese Only\u201d businesses in Japan) named \u201cHagoromo-yu\u201d, in cosmopolitan Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, which has a sign up explicitly refusing custom to all LGBT customers \u201cwho don\u2019t follow rules and morals, or don\u2019t practice moderation\u201d (setsudo o mamoru).<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the nasty kicker (and brazen nastiness seems to be the hallmark of Japan\u2019s excluders these days; just consider the antics of Osaka car dealer Autoplaza in the recent Yener Case). The sign even includes this iyami on the bottom, striking back against the unusual progressiveness of the local government:<\/p>\n

\u201cShibuya-ku has established the \u2018same-sex partners ordinance\u2019, but we at this establishment will refuse service to any LGBT customers who who don\u2019t follow rules and morals, or don\u2019t practice moderation.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How nice. Location and contact details of Hagoromo-yu below. Feel free to give them a piece of your mind, as moderately as you like.<\/p>\n

5) Positive book review of \u201cEmbedded Racism\u201d in \u201cSociology of Race and Ethnicity\u201d journal (American Sociological Association)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Review excerpt: [Embedded Racism] is a brave critique of Japanese society and its failure to look outward in its demographic and economic development. The book will, no doubt, add to a lively discussion already afoot in Japanese studies, critical race studies, and critical mixed race studies of racism in Japan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

[\u2026] The strongest part of the book, in my view, is chapter 5, which illustrates how \u201cJapaneseness\u201d is enforced through legal and extralegal means. The examples of visa regimes and even exclusion from sports and other contests through educational institutions show how everyday racism leaks into larger organizational practices, often without challenge.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

[\u2026] The book is clearly written and seems to be aimed primarily at undergraduate students, as it makes an important contribution for those wishing to understand racism in Japan better, and it compiles interesting documentary legal data about the history of cases of discrimination in Japan. The book would easily suit courses that address global conceptions of race and ethnicity and how these are changing in Japan at both the micro and macro levels because of globalization.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

MORE ON YENER CASE<\/strong>
\n 6) NJ Osakan Ibrahim Yener wins lawsuit against \u201cJapanese only\u201d car dealer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another NJ wins in court against a \u201cJapanese Only\u201d establishment, this time a car dealer who wouldn\u2019t send Osakan Plaintiff Ibrahim Yener information about their goods because he\u2019s a foreigner. Yener joins the ranks of Ana Bortz, the Otaru Onsen Plaintiffs, and Steve McGowan, all of whom won and\/or lost in court in varying degrees.<\/p>\n

The positive thing to note here is that Mr. Yener filed suit all by himself, without legal representation, and still won. He no doubt had the company dead to rights because he had their refusal in writing. That means that anyone else with a case as watertight as his can also take it to court and win, and I advise people to do so whenever possible. The negative thing to note here is that once again the award amount has been reduced. In the Bortz Case, the award was 2 million yen, in the Otaru Case it was 1 million yen per plaintiff, and in the McGowan Case, after a ludicrous defeat in lower court, it was eventually only 350,000 yen on appeal, which didn\u2019t even come close to covering his legal fees. In the Yener Case, it\u2019s now been reduced to a paltry 200,000 yen, which means it\u2019s a good thing he didn\u2019t seek legal representation.<\/p>\n

Anyway, glad that Mr. Yener won. It\u2019s just a pity that after all this time and effort, there isn\u2019t any deterrent of punitive damages against racial discriminators. That\u2019s why we need a criminal law against racial discrimination in Japan \u2014 because the excuse the Japanese government officially keeps making (that laws are unnecessary because there is a court system for redress) becomes less compelling with every lawsuit filed.<\/p>\n

7) Plaintiff Ibrahim Yener provides Debito.org with details on his successful lawsuit against \u201cJapanese Only\u201d Nihon Autoplaza car company<\/strong><\/p>\n

As mentioned in the previous blog entry, Osaka resident Ibrahim Yener won his court case against a car company that refused him on the grounds (the company claims after the fact in court) of being a foreigner with insufficient Japanese language. However, Mr. Yener has just written in to Debito.org with more detail on his case, making it clear that arbitrary language barriers were merely a ruse to refuse all \u201cforeigners\u201d (even those with Japanese citizenship) their business. Fortunately, the exclusionary Defendant\u2019s reasoning didn\u2019t wash in court.<\/p>\n

The Defendant, not mentioned in the Asahi article in the previous blog entry, is Nihon Autoplaza, and they offer services such as buying used cars on Japan\u2019s very vibrant second-hand automobile auction market. (I have bought cars through that auction system before, and lack of access to it will have a significant impact on your ability to get a used car affordably in Japan, something quite necessary for people in Japan\u2019s ruralities or for small businesses.) One more takeaway from this case is that, according to Mr. Yener, the Defendant acted even more idiotically in court, angering the judge. So I\u2019m worried that this case might not have been as slam-dunk as it might seem for future victims of \u201cJapanese Only\u201d businesses who want to sue (because a lawsuit is the only real option Japan\u2019s international residents have to protect themselves against discrimination).<\/p>\n

8 ) My Japan Times JBC 108: \u201cIn wake of Charlottesville, U.S. should follow Japan and outlaw hate speech\u201d, Aug 24, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

JBC: \u00a0As you probably heard, two weeks ago there was a protest in a small Virginia town against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general who defended slavery in the American South. Various hate groups, including white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan, assembled there with shields, weapons, fascist flags and anti-Semitic slogans. They were met with counterprotest, and things got violent. A supremacist slammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one and injuring 19.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Charlottesville has shaken hope for a post-racial America to the core. But before readers in Japan breathe a sigh of relief and think, \u201cIt couldn\u2019t happen here, not in peaceful Japan,\u201d remember this:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Japan has also had plenty of hate rallies \u2014 there was about one per day on average in 2013 and 2014, according to the Justice Ministry. Rightist xenophobes and government-designated hate groups have assembled and held demos nationwide. Bearing signs calling foreign residents \u201ccockroaches,\u201d calling for a Nanking-style massacre of Koreans in an Osaka Koreatown, even advocating the extermination of \u201call Koreans, good or bad,\u201d Japan\u2019s haters have also used violence (some lethal) against the country\u2019s minorities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As JBC has argued before (\u201cOsaka\u2019s move on hate speech should be just the first step,\u201d Jan. 31, 2016), freedom of speech is not an absolute. And hate speech is special: It ultimately and necessarily leads to violence, due to the volatile mix of dehumanization with flared tempers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Japan decided to do something about it. In 2016 the Diet passed a law against hate speech (albeit limiting it to specifically protect foreign residents). And it has had an effect: Japanese media reports fewer rallies and softer invective.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

America, however, hasn\u2019t gotten serious about this. It has no explicit law against hate speech, due to fears about government censorship of freedom of speech. Opponents argue that the only cure is freer speech \u2014 that somehow hate will be balanced out by reasonable and rational counter-hate. That persuasion will win out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But in 2016, it didn\u2019t. Hate speech is precisely how Donald J. Trump got elected president\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
