Have you encountered discrimination or prejudices in Japan ?

You really believe they are only enforcing the law as they see it? To randomly stop people with different color skin from the native people, demand to see and record the rather specific details on their I.D. and to question them is merely "doing their job as they see it" and merely doing that because the people are seen as guests????

Have you ever thought that maybe they do this to make sure you are legally in this country, paying your taxes etc, and not because they are on a power trip out to get you?

I beleive to prevent this sort of abuse and harrassment is the reason why the subsections in question were added to the law.

Still going on about the law. Did you not see the link I posted, taking you back the website you have sited as supporting your view, were Debito clearly states in ENGLISH we don't have the right to refuse ID checks if the cops know the law.

I doubt they know much about the law at all.

And I think you would probably be making a mistake for doing so, the cops that helped me out knew the law very well.

I dont like being pulled up by the police like I am a criminal simply because I have white skin.

That's fine. I understand how you might feel this way. But you are in their country, and that is the way they do things here. You choice is to accept it, or go home. Reyter there is nothing significant you can really do unless you become a citizen, and join up with Debito. Do you honestly care that much? If you did I think you would have gave up posting here a long time ago and started going to the very few channels foreigners have here to protest things they disagree with.

BTW: I have stopped responding to them but unfortunately I cant stop them replying to this message or earlier messages.

No, you cannot huh. I can keep this up as long as you can. You are never going to have your doctrine in pristine condition sitting on this forum for all to see. I am so sorry that you think I keep on sullying your every post, but forums are for discussion. Why don't you just go start your own website or blog where you can post whatever you want, and then nobody can try and challenge your assertions?
