Hello Newsletter Readers. My latest SNA Visible Minorities column 8 has just come out. Excerpt:<\/p>\n

==============================
\nNo Free Pass for Japan’s Shirking Responsibility<\/strong>
\nBy Debito Arudou<\/strong>
\nSHINGETSU NEWS AGENCY, March 16, 2020<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/shingetsunewsagency.com\/2020\/03\/16\/visible-minorities-no-free-pass-for-shirking-responsibility\/<\/a><\/p>\n

SNA (Tokyo) \u2014 There\u2019s an oft-used expression in Japanese: sekinin tenka. Best translated as \u201cpassing the buck,\u201d it\u2019s a reflex of dodging blame for one\u2019s own actions by transferring responsibility to others. For too long, Japan has done so on the world stage with impunity\u2014even when it affects the world adversely.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with, since it\u2019s timely, the 3.11 Fukushima nuclear meltdown that took place nine years ago this month. While the earthquake and tsunami are not Japan\u2019s fault, situating a nuclear power plant so perilously close to the coastline is; as is the perpetually-botched response of containment and leakage (even the willful dumping) of irradiated water into the Pacific Ocean.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrast that with the attention and criticism (and even a TV series) Russia got for Chernobyl, where the situation has finally been contained in a sarcophagus. In Japan, officials instead blamed world standards of safe radiation levels for being alarmist (adjusting them upwards for domestic political purposes) and declared Fukushima produce safe for consumption.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even more timely is how sekinin tenka influenced Japan\u2019s Covid-19 response\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

DIVERSITY AND ITS ADVERSARIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) 2020 Tokyo Olympics drops Ainu performance from its Opening Ceremonies, despite 2019 law officially recognizing and promoting them as an indigenous people in Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guardian<\/em><\/strong>: Japan\u2019s commitment to the rights of its indigenous people has been questioned after organisers of this summer\u2019s Tokyo Olympics dropped a performance by members of the Ainu ethnic minority from the Games\u2019 opening ceremony. Members of the Ainu community, originally from Japan\u2019s northernmost island of Hokkaido, had been expecting to showcase their culture to the world in a dance at the Olympic stadium, but learned recently that the plans had been scrapped. The Tokyo 2020 organising committee said the performance had been dropped from the ceremony due to \u201clogistical constraints\u201d. \u201cUnfortunately, this particular Ainu dance performance could not be included because of logistical constraints related to the ceremonies,\u201d it said in a statement to the Guardian.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

COMMENT<\/strong>: Now that overseas media has finally decided to pick up this story, let\u2019s open a dedicated blog entry to it. Debito.org\u2019s take is that including the Ainu performance for the world to see would have too clearly contradicted the postwar-created and carefully-curated narrative of Japan as a homogeneous monocultural monoethnic society. In contrast to how numerous Opening Ceremonies elsewhere have showcased the diversity of the hosting country, this is an enormous slap in the face to the Ainu not only socially, but also legally, given the 2019 law that finally recognizes them as Japan\u2019s indigenous people, and promises to help promote their culture. First chance they get, the GOJ fumbles it.<\/p>\n

2) BBC: \u201cIs Japan embracing diversity?\u201d A Pollyannaish article highlighting a few celebrity examples without data on broad public attitudes or government policy re immigration<\/strong><\/p>\n

BBC: Ahead of the Rugby World Cup held in Japan last year, a Japanese sports magazine, asked the national team\u2019s captain, \u201cWhy are there so many foreigners in Japan\u2019s squad?\u201d The 31-year-old captain, Michael Leitch, originally from New Zealand, answered (in Japanese), \u201cBecause that\u2019s how Japan is today. The rugby national team reflects the reality of current Japan, and also anticipates the future of Japan. As a team, we can embody and show society just how important diversity is.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n[\u2026]<\/em><\/strong>
\nIn Japan, rugby is famous for the phrase \u201cno-side\u201d, meaning once the referee blows the whistle to end the match, there are no more foes, only fellow players. While this phrase is no longer widely used, it has lodged itself firmly in the national consciousness of Japan. Athletes there with foreign roots are still called \u201cplayers from a foreign country\u201d. But in a country where the concept of wa is considered a fundamental virtue, there is hope that an increasingly visible \u201cother\u201d Japan in a changing society can lead it to being the natural state of things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

COMMENT<\/strong>: Here we have another one of those hopeful \u201cJapan is changing\u201d articles we get from time to time. BBC Reporter Okazaki clearly starts from a tack and then works backwards to find evidence to support it. But as Submitter FB pointed out quite succinctly, the article \u201chighlights a few celebrity examples without any data on broad public attitudes or government policy towards immigration. The fact that 3rd generation ethnic Koreans aren\u2019t citizens is the most telling fact of intransigence towards diversity.\u201d Touche.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s just draw a line in the sand here with a clear litmus test: At a bare minimum, until Japan\u2019s historical aberration of \u201cZainichi\u201d status is finally resolved by the Japanese government, and \u201cgenerational foreigners\u201d are legally accepted as diverse AND Japanese, Japan can never claim to be truly accepting of diversity. Full stop. Do that, and then we\u2019ll start talking about how \u201cJapan is changing\u201d for a news peg. For one cannot ignore the historical contributions and sacrifices of Japan\u2019s minorities, particularly the Zainichi, no matter what cosmetic overtures one might make in public towards a few token Visible Minorities for the sake of overseas media consumption.<\/p>\n

3) DF on Chugoku bank unlawfully demanding to check NJ customers\u2019 visa stay durations and photocopy their Gaijin Cards, or face discontinuation of service<\/strong><\/p>\n

From time to time Debito.org gets sent information from NJ residents being harassed by Japanese officialdom and businesses for the most basic things. Such as checking into a hotel or using a bank. Or being treated as objects of mistrust in official \u201cBlame Games\u201d. Or being demanded unnecessary steps just to live their daily lives or conduct regular business. It encourages racial profiling even further, in addition to what you already have at Japan\u2019s hotels and other public accommodation, police instant ID checkpoints, and tax agencies. (See here too).<\/p>\n

Such as the following case below, where Chugoku Bank is demanding a Visa Check in order to maintain (not open; maintain) a bank account. (In their words, \u201cwe have elected to confirm the period of stay for customers whose period of stay and other details have not been confirmed\u201d Meaning their nosying into somebody\u2019s visa status is not even under the pretense of some legal requirement.) And of course, in this era of identity theft that even foreign governments warn you against, Chugoku Bank wants to make a photocopy of the person\u2019s ID, it turns out, for no reason whatsoever but reflex.<\/p>\n

Submitter DF<\/strong>: Hi Debito, I recently got the attached postcard from my bank, Chugoku Ginkou. It says that I have to go in and verify that I am in the country legally to keep using my bank account. I went in today and they wanted to make a photocopy of my card. Is this legal? They claimed that they are doing so at the request of the government, which I\u2019m sure is true, and that they need a copy for \u201cfiling\u201d, which I am not sure is true. I told them that the card can usually only be requested by a police officer or an immigration agent. I finally relented only after they explained that they also photocopy other customer\u2019s driver\u2019s licenses. I offered my driver\u2019s license, but they declined. I noticed that other than my visa status (PR), there is really no info on there that they don\u2019t already have. Who is in the right here, legally?<\/em><\/p>\n

4) Senaiho \u201cHair Police\u201d School Bullying Case Update 4: Civil lawsuit launched against school bullies, gaining traction with other international couples<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest update from NJ resident Senaiho (previous updates three, two, and one here), whose daughter was not only bullied by school peers, but also had her hair forcibly cut by schoolteachers in public, causing her so much PTSD that she dropped out of school. This is yet another incident of Japan\u2019s institutionalized school bullying of children of color that Debito.org has long called \u201cthe Hair Police\u201d. Bullying is rife in Japanese education, but when it\u2019s ignored (or even perpetuated) by officialdom, this feeling of powerlessness will leave children (particularly those NJ children with diverse physical features targeted for \u201cstanding out\u201d) and their families scarred for life. (As discussed at length in book \u201cEmbedded Racism\u201d, pg. 154-5.)<\/p>\n

The difference now is that Senaiho has launched an actual civil court case. Over more than a year now Senaiho has tried other channels, such as taking it before school authorities and asking for criminal investigations, and all they have gotten is stonewalling and official coverup. So now he\u2019s suing the bullies themselves. Let\u2019s see what precedent this is going to set. Given that others are now standing up against insanely intrusive Japanese school conformity rules (\u201cburakku kousoku\u201d, including warmer clothes in winter, freedom of assembly or travel, and even the color of their underwear!), this may be a landmark case. Meanwhile, Senaiho offers an update with a newspaper clip below.<\/p>\n

5) \u201cGaikokujin Shimin\u201d: Kawaguchi City Mayor Okunoki (kinda) answers a query about the racialized application of this term that officially makes Japanese into \u201cforeigners\u201d (UPDATED)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve talked at length before (it even topped my annual JT Top Ten Human Rights Issues for 2019), city governments have been using a racialized definition of local residents, namely \u201cGaikokujin Shimin\u201d, that officially classifies even naturalized Japanese citizens, Japanese children with foreign roots, or anyone with connections to a foreign land as \u201cforeigners\u201d. Submitter ABC below offers a letter sent to the Kawaguchi City Government asking for clarification of the uses and effects of this official term. Thankfully, Kawaguchi City Mayor Okunoki Nobuo answered Submitter ABC. I enclose the query, Okunoki\u2019s answer, and my (updated) translation of the answer, below.<\/p>\n

6) SNA Visible Minorities Col 6: \u201cCarlos Ghosn\u2019s Escape from Japan Was the Right Move\u201d, Jan 20, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

SNA (Tokyo) \u2014 I have to admit more than a twinge of sympathy for Carlos Ghosn\u2019s Great Escape.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghosn, the former CEO of Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Renault, was arrested in November 2018 on the initial suspicion of falsifying his compensation levels, and subjected to more than a year of Japan\u2019s \u201chostage justice.\u201d That is, he was held hostage to a judicial system that detains you until you confess to a crime, and subjects you to days, weeks, months, or conceivably even years of interrogation and tortuous conditions until you crack. Understandably, most do crack, and Japan\u2019s conviction rate after indictment is famously more than 99%.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But as you have probably heard, at the end of December Ghosn suddenly turned up in Lebanon, one of three places he has citizenship. Out on bail in Japan, he made a daring escape that people are still trying to piece together, including man-sized musical instrument cases, an uncharacteristic lack of Japanese border security, and a mysterious visit to Lebanon\u2019s president by Japan\u2019s state minister for foreign affairs mere days before Ghosn jumped bail.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghosn is now making good on his threat to expose everything that happened to him while in custody. His multilingual press conference in Beirut two weeks ago was breathtaking to watch, full of documentation, pointed fingers, and hot-tongued accusations of the human rights denied to Japan\u2019s incarcerated.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This has been covered exhaustively worldwide, so what more is there to say? My perspective comes as a person who also tried to change Japanese rules and practices, and found that The System similarly fought back dirty\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

JBC: Visible minorities in Japan are in a tough spot in a country where the police have a lot of arbitrary power and few enforceable checks (as we\u2019ve been witnessing recently with the Carlos Ghosn case). As a result, we are facing two decades of police-promoted narratives of \u201cthe foreigner\u201d as a visa overstayer and criminal. What follows is my advice on what to do if you face a sudden ID check on the street:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Ask why you are being stopped. 2) Ask to see their ID. 3) Use your phone (or ask a friend) to start recording. 4) Ask if compliance is optional, and\/or ask for a warrant. 5) Above all, remain calm and polite. Arm yourself with the requisite vocabulary to do all this, contained in this article.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Diamond Princess cruise ship case (which has been discussed extensively on Debito.org this past week) fell within my SNA monthly column window this time, so here\u2019s my take on it:<\/p>\n

Visible Minorities: Japan\u2019s Botched Response to the Coronavirus<\/em><\/strong>
\nBy Debito Arudou, Shingetsu News Agency, Feb 17, 2020<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

SNA (Tokyo) \u2014 The drama of cruise ship Diamond Princess, currently moored at Yokohama and quarantined by Japan\u2019s Health Ministry due to some of the 3,700 passengers and crew testing positive for the coronavirus, is a human rights crisis.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Covid-19 outbreak that originated in China has killed more than 1700 people and sickened tens of thousands.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my take: Surprise! I\u2019m not going to argue that the prison-ship conditions are due to racism, but more a matter of official stupidity\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
