Do you like to be a guinea pig?
Debitou Arudo, a Japanese-naturalized socio-political comentator, has just written an article in the Japan Times about the danger of the systematic usage of foreigners as “guinea pig” to the Japanese population in general. Stories of authorities deliberately planting drugs on unknowing foreigners’ baggage and random interrogation police officers of foreigners in sight, all for purpose of training, are particularly shocking. The author contemplates if Japan could do this to foreigners now without too much fuss, then it is not too far for these practices to reach the Japanese nationals themselves. As usual of Debitou’s writings, it concerns foreigner’s rights and what it means in the long run for the Japanese society. It’s a thought provoking article, and a good read too.
