I am foreigner living in Japan. Some things botherd me and that is why I am asking you some questions. If there is any expert in human rights please let me know with some references. Please reply as " this is obvious", "this is odd", "this is a human right violation".
1) All the foreigners are given a card here. The name of the card is "ALIEN registration card". What do you think about the word "ALIEN"?
2) When we look for a home, many home owners that they won't give his/her apartment because "we are foreigner" and no other reason. What do you think.
3) Some times when we walk inside stations or walk on streets, without breaking any law (ex. throwing cigarette butts, throwing cans, disturbing other ppl etc), police stops foreigners specially the non-white ppl and ask for alien registration card. Personally I believe that as long as I am not doing any kind of crime or offence, police has no right to stop me just by seeng my face color. What do you think?
