Hi Blog. Debito.org has talked for years about racial profiling by the Japanese police (see for example\u00a0here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and\u00a0here<\/a>, not to mention demanding urine samples<\/a> from “foreigners” in Roppongi only; seriously). Clearly it’s still going on. The issue here, however, is how institutions that are supposed to support and inform NJ in Japan of their rights, options, and protections in Japan (in this case, Temple University in Japan) are apparently not doing so. Read on. Dr. Debito Arudou<\/p>\n

Racial Profiling by the Japanese Police: An Interview with Austin Freeman (excerpt)<\/strong>

INTRO: \u00a0In December 2017, TUJ added a new section to their Student Handbook titled Public Safety and Encounters with Law Enforcement (pages 21-23), “TUJ does not assume obligations for students\u2019 off campus behavior or for their interactions with Japanese law enforcement personnel or the criminal justice system.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDear Mr. Debito, First, we would like to thank you for your interest in our website, article, and what we are doing. However, we request that you take down our article which you have copied and pasted onto your own website. As a Temple University Japan affiliated group and as owners of the website, we ask that all reproduction of our material be done with our permission and with the consent of all participating members of an article. Not doing so minimizes our work, what we are trying to achieve, and could pose as an issue for the image of our magazine and institution. Mr. Freeman is also not comfortable with your usage of this piece as it is not an excerpt of the article but rather an appropriation of it. We politely request that the article be taken down from your website and that all social media posts linking to your website regarding it be taken down as well. If you would, however, like to continue helping this cause, you can edit your post to link our website with only the first paragraph of the article and \u201cread more at (https:\/\/www.upri-zine.com\/single-post\/2018\/03\/28\/Racial-Profiling-by-the-Japanese-Police-An-Interview-with-Austin-Freeman) \u201c in order to direct readers to our site. You can also write your own article based off ours as Mr. Freeman has agreed to this. We thank you once again for your interest and hope you understand our stance on this<\/em>. Sincerely, UPRIZINE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDear Uprizine,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for your personalized email response. I have complied with your command to include only the first paragraph of your article on Debito.org. I hope this provides enough context to inspire readers to read further.<\/p>\n

Debito.org apologizes for inadvertently minimizing your work, what you are trying to achieve, and the image of your magazine and institution.<\/p>\n

Please also send my apologies to Mr. Freeman for making him uncomfortable by drawing attention to his cause.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Debito Arudou (Ph.D.)<\/strong>
