cist images in media tourism 61 my sna visible minorities column 56 addressing japan s child abduction problem on the recent bill passed to allow joint custody after divorce may 27 2024 posted on may 28 2024 july 23 2025 by debito arudou ph d sna it has been one of japan s worst kept secrets it has shattered lives and caused enormous international embarrassment to japan s reputation as a nation of laws it has caused untold misery to countless children and families worldwide and amongst all the g7 developed nations it only happens like this in japan i m talking about japan s issues with child custody and access after divorce japan has something called the family registry koseki system it serves the important purposes of not only conferring japanese citizenship it also prioritizes the family unit over the individual a throwback system unamended for more than a century the family registry has a major bug if you get divorced the bureaucracy forces the couple as a registered family unit to cleave back into two unconnected individuals with completely severed family ties the problem is that children are likewise forced into one severed family registry or another this means they lose all legal ties with one parent and that parent usually the father has not rights of joint custody or child visitation this means that divorce in japan completely disappears a left behind parent lbp from a child s life this invisibility is enforced by the rest of society too embedded racism pinprick protests articles publications bad social science child abductions cultural issue exclusionism

international exposure embarrassment broken treaty promises xenophobic and racist tropes and deprived children japan finally changes its laws to allow joint custody of children after divorce taking effect in 2026 posted on may 19 2024 may 20 2024 by debito arudou ph d debito org has been quiet on these developments until they actually came to fruition and now that they have it s time to cheer japan has finally gotten around to fixing one of its worst kept secrets child abductions after divorces after years of international pressure and all manner of racist justifications of the status quo including even the foreign ministry accusing foreigners of being naturally violent and japan offering safe haven for international child abductions despite signing an international treaty against it the diet has just passed legislation allowing for joint custody after divorce meaning both parents now have the ability to have a say in raising a child even if the relationship falls apart it comes into effect in 2026 and will be reassessed five years later debito org has talked about this issue for decades since i too lost all contact with my children after my divorce which is in fact the norm in japan thanks to the koseki family registry system forcing split couples to sever all legal family ties and thus all rights to any contact not only because nj are particularly vulnerable to becoming left behind parents in intercontinental relationships since the j spouse can either make off with the child back to japan or deprive you of a spouse visa but also because this situation affected all divorces in japan regardless of nationality it left all children in japan vulnerable to being used a pawn used to punish one parent out of spite and that would often carry on into adulthood with the adult offspring hating the lbp parent without ever hearing both sides of the story or knowing the lbp cares about them this is not normal even in peer countries as the mainichi notes below japan had been the only country among the group of seven industrialized nation with no joint custody system according to a justice ministry survey of other countries released in 2020 anyway this is an extremely positive and long overdue development and it s another example of japanese domestic law not changing without international shame and pressure it s just a shame it couldn t have happened decades ago when it would have made a difference to me and my divorced friends let s hope this brings more reality to future relationships divorces are complicated adding more child abuse into the mix and by this i mean the child abuse that is inherent in an automatic severance of custodial ties just made it worse embedded racism anti discrimination templates meetings bad social science cultural issue

reuters biden calls ally japan xenophobic along with rivals china and russia may 2 2024 bravo biden posted on may 16 2024 may 19 2024 by debito arudou ph d reuters u s president joe biden included ally japan along with rivals china and russia in a list of countries he called xenophobic on wednesday in a speech at a campaign fundraising event in washington biden reiterated remarks he made last month linking china s economic woes to its unwillingness to accept immigration you know one of the reasons our economy is growing is because of you and many others why because we welcome immigrants biden told asian american and pacific islander donors wednesday the reason think about it why is china stalling so bad economically why is japan having trouble why is russia why is anyone because they re xenophobic they don t want immigrants comment debito org says bravo biden for obvious reasons we ve covered on debito org since its beginning back in 1995 for generations now japan has gotten a free pass on its racial discrimination about which i ve written entire books simply because it s an ally it s about time somebody in leadership chided things in the right direction unfortunately geopolitics and human rights do not mix and the latter has taken a back seat to the former for too long the reaction will be predictable and obvious there will be the handwringing from the diplomats and media and the knee jerk reactions from the ethnostatists defending japan s putative ethnic purity or sovereignty in various comments sections although human rights supersede pat claims of sovereignty if you ve signed the cerd which japan did nearly 30 years ago and still has not passed any laws against racial discrimination whatever it s long overdue to state the fact that japan as a polity simply will not keep its international promises and debito org agrees with biden that japan s lack of any official immigration policy hurts japan as a society both economically and

sna visible minorities col 55 from dancing monkey to symbol of hope interview with ibaraki prefectural assemblyman and naturalized canadian japanese jon heese may 2 2024 posted on may 16 2024 may 16 2024 by debito arudou ph d bio jon heese is becoming an old hand in japanese politics having served 13 years at various levels of government he is presently one of five councilors representing tsukuba 60 km ne of tokyo in the ibaraki prefectural assembly similar to a state or provincial legislature after winning four terms at the city level mr heese leveled up in december 2022 he is the first foreign born politician to ever serve at the regional level he sat down for an interview with debito arudou for his visible minorities column in april 2024 sna let me open with an argument i make the case in one of my recent columns that we don t see enough former non japanese running for office because the japanese government doesn t want them to with no immigration policy the goj doesn t just encourage nj to become voters and citizens they make it hard to graduate up to permanent residency and citizenship would you agree with that assessment heese no immigration policy do you mean no policy to import labor willy nilly à la every western country the question is already loaded as for policy to prevent naturalization thereby enfranchisement i do not see any active policies intending to keep nj from getting citizenship overall i see their immigration policies as an attempt to ensure that only contributing foreigners are allowed to stay beyond the 90 day tourist visa by obtaining a longer visa many countries try to keep out deadbeats japan is no different by deadbeats i mean people who are only coming to take advantage of our rather generous social services sna hang on point of order we re still falling back on those boilerplate arguments we see in the chauvinistic media that some foreigners are freeloaders not so and the conversation gets warmer from there embedded racism

foreign born local government members bringing fresh perspectives to an island nation long known for its homogeneity these lawmakers are often multilingual and have rich international work experience their platforms have resonated with many japanese voters as well as with a growing population of non japanese residents the number of non japanese residents jumped 10 9 from 2022 to 2023 reaching a record 3 4 million as the country struggles to address a chronic labor shortage driven by its aging population last year 8 800 residents were naturalized as citizens allowing them to vote in elections shifting demographics are challenging japan s reputation as a homogeneous society and creating unprecedented openings for immigrants to participate in local government arudou debito author of the book embedded racism japan s visible minorities and racial discrimination says the election of immigrants to local government is very important for japan s democracy non japanese residents viewpoints are woefully unseen in japanese society they re treated as guests explains mr arudou who is a u s born naturalized citizen the fact that former non japanese residents are getting elected means they aren t

legacies practical advice 0 my sna visible minorities 54 non japanese residents claim political power mar 31 2024 where i argue the power of the vote matters whether you are a candidate or part of the electorate the j govt tries hard to make sure neither happens for japan s immigrants posted on march 31 2024 may 16 2024 by debito arudou ph d intro i teach political science at the university level in my first lecture every semester i try to convince skeptical students why they should bother studying political science at all i argue that understanding how power flows through political structures will help students enfranchise themselves in a democratic system because if they don t other people who understand the system better will use it to their advantage instead but this assumes one major fundamental that they can participate in the democratic system at all fortunately most of my students are citizens so they can vote given how abysmal youth voter turnout generally is i consider it a major educational outcome if they bother to persuading people that their vote matters is the bare minimum a civics class can accomplish if i have the opportunity in higher level classes to proselytize further i encourage them to engage in community building such as organizing into interest groups and consolidating power into voting blocs my real converts consider running for local office thereby embedding themselves within the very power structure itself because political power especially for minorities in any society is rarely surrendered without a struggle we need more diverse views in office as demographics change the makeup of future majorities that s how democracy is supposed to work unfortunately this is a lesson that japan s non japanese nj residents and visible minorities still have trouble grasping as a result they are letting the japanese government deprive them of their potential as a political force in japan embedded racism pinprick protests articles publications
