Foreign-born residents in Japan file lawsuit over police racial profiling • FRANCE 24 English
I want them to know that other people are going through the same thing and that they’re not alone and that you can fight Back so in a day you can be checked several times because there’s no such system to protect people like us right so and over the years it has just accumulated many many many many times with me regardless if I’m driving or walking taking a train riding my bicycle it’s just uncountable A lot of apathy here has allowed people like me to be abused and mistreated so um even if we lose which I highly doubt um I think that um if we can shine a light on some of the things that most people just they say oh it’s it’s a foreigner thing or
It’s just a people that are just being troublemakers uh they’re just making noise I I want them to understand that this is an everyday occurrence this an everyday thing and that we have to do something uh to prevent that for the future Generations in 4 years I was stopped by the police
More than 10 times so when things happen that much you start to realize Am I Wrong Am I am I do something wrong that that’s why they’re stopping me
Racial profiling by police is an “everyday occurrence” in Japan, one of three foreign-born residents who are suing the government over the issue says. In the first lawsuit of its kind, the three men accuse the police of having repeatedly questioned them because of their ethnicity or appearance.

Perhaps it is result of the upcoming war because Japanese are really nice people. I never can understand how the Japanese were nuked and their enemies because their closest allies; Vietnam not much different in terms of their choices of allies.
Japan please don't be like france 😂
They must have done something to caused that.
I'm also a foreigner living in Tokyo, but it NEVER happens to me.
The japanese dont even like each other much less foreigners.
⛔️finally the truth about this country.,what a shame, many YouTubers and foreigners
living in Japon make videos that lie and do not tell what is happening there. The Racism, they ignore the suffering of these others foreigners who had just the desire to know the culture of this Japon, to love this country and share it outside.Shame on these repeated facial controls, while these representatives of the order who know perfectly well the people they control.So stupid, these representatives of the order with an small intellectual quotient .Mistreating and disrespecting honest foreigners that they knows very well. No one arrives in Japan by swimming, it's an island, In the end they have not to be surprised by the racism against Asians. they are giving great publicity to their country.
Without foreigners, Japan will not have enough children and it will go extinct 😂😂😂
So they are popular ? The police are just lonely
Unfortunately, the most likely result will be that Japan begins to scale back immigration. I understand this is not fair, but a less public way to change things is still the most effective approach in Japanese society.
Don't think! Follow the rules!
Japan does not value other people
China does this worse as a policy everyday. You say nothing. Duly noted
If a country allows Brown and Black people to live functioning countries it will eventually rot from Multicultural poisoning
if you don't like it, get out of Japan..Japan needs to remain relatively crime free
Deport them.
Please read about unit 731😢😢😢😢😢
Skin color plays a crucial role, as Japan and Korea highly value and admire a lighter complexion but Japan is a safe country with low crime rates compared to other countries
He is wrong for this lawsuit. Japan is Japan
The problem isn’t just that they’re humiliating and annoying people by stopping them. The problem is the attitude taken by the police. There is no correct way to comply. They take a “you got away with this time…” abusive attitude to you.
But the real problem is there’s no checks on their power. It just takes a Japanese person for any reason to make a false accusation. Then the entire system is set up to make you disappear into a concentration camp style prison.
It happened to me.
There is a way to stop people AND do Justice at the same time. What’s often happening now is horrendous.
I also used to think it was a necessary evil, until it happened to me personally, and now I understand how dangerous it is and it needs to be changed.
😢
Who cares. Don't like it? Then leave 😂
I'm against globalization and immigration. Everyone stay in their own country, marry your own kind, and respect eachother
Whats really funny is if we stop all exports worldwide to japan they will be gone in 10 to 25 years since they need imports for steel and other raw materials to live a modern life
