Japan Times July 8 2008 45th Zeit Gist Column: Gaijin as Public Policy Guinea Pig

有道さんの最新の記事は自分が掲載したジャパンタイムスのくだらない記事ですが、くだらないからコメントもないかと思ったら、コメントがついて、一つ目は、
日本では、日本人がほとんだから、日本人じゃない人や、日本の国籍を持っていない人が抱える問題について、注目されないのは残念である、というもの。町でエレベーターでも外人を怖がる女性がいる、という。
ーーーこれは主張として問題ない。ただ、問題がある、ということを公正な手段で、かつ、日本語で日本人に訴えなくては駄目だろうね。陰で大半の日本人がわからない英語で日本を罵っていても不気味がられるだけ。
さて、その次が、このコメントに対する、有道ブログお墨付きのコメント。

>I think the key to changing things is letting this kind of stuff get more national attention in the media, etc, instead of using Goebbels-esque propaganda to label everyone who doesn’t look Japanese as a criminal. Unless there is a strong awareness, politicians don’t have to justify anything before elections.<
MD the problem is that media in japan are controlled by GoJ and they have to report what LDP wants, not what journalist wants, so this explains why there are not much news about it. Though, I think if there were reports it would likely be against us. There would be many reason (fear propaganda) given to Japanese people why do they need to do certain things to us.
Regarding the situation with women you wrote above. Well, I also sometimes don`t understand this. Do really Japanese majority of people have “brain”? Can`t they see that all crimes reported on JTV everyday from morning are done by Japanese? Newspapers reports crime also committed by Japanese. Very rare happens that foreigner is in the news. So, what`s the problem with some people? Our brains absorb quicker negatives than positives and this is truth. Japanese person seeing crime done by fellow citizen don`t make such impact like crime done by foreigner-outsider. This is always big news adding xenophobic propaganda of GoJ. You know one can get used to news about own people doing such things, but because is almost unheard crime (killing own family etc.) done by foreigner, it makes news. I have a friend whose color skin is black, very good friend of mine. He told me when he is on the way from job late night and woman work in front of him at the same direction he keeps distance and even try to change his way. In this case he avoid Japanese, being aware that he can be in jail for nothing. (if a woman start scream or saying he follows her, he as a black foreigner would be screwed and put behind bars) Because things are not normal in this country we have to avoid each other sometimes. We foreigners often live in fear because we have no rights here. Good example is my friend I wrote about and others we read here.
Keep smiling and be nice guy. There are many nice Japanese people too, not brain washed yet :)
日本のメディアは政府に管理されていて記者が報道したいことではなく、自民党が報道したいことだけ、報道しているーーと、これもメチャクチャな主張だが、外人を怖がる女性について、「
大半の日本人に”脳みそ”ついているのかと思うよ、報道される犯罪の大半は日本人によってなされるだぜ」
そのあと、黒人の友人が、夜町で女性が歩いていると、怪しまれるといけないからちょっと距離をおいて歩くとのことーーーーおれとおなじやないけ。
笑って、ナイスガイでいろ。まだ、洗脳されていない日本人も多いよ、と結んでいる。
