Hi Blog. \u00a0This is just to advise you that on this coming Tuesday, November 2 (in print Wednesday November 3 in the Boonies), my next Japan Times JUST BE CAUSE column will be coming out.<\/p>\n

Topic: \u00a0I attended an international conference last month, where a senior scholar of some renown gave a lecture on Japan’s uniqueness, saying that Japan is still the most homogeneous society in the world. \u00a0Homogeneity he defined as the number of foreigners in Japanese society.<\/p>\n

Armed with Google (we had Internet access in the lecture hall), I raised my hand and an issue with the claim…<\/p>\n

And that starts the column. \u00a0Have a read on Tuesday. \u00a0Arudou Debito<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: \u00a0Here it is:<\/p>\n
