Dating in Tokyo is pretty easy―if you’re not looking for a single guy
One of my email dates remarked that it was much easier for foreign men to date in Japan than foreign women. I am inclined to believe this is true. The divorce rate in Japan may be low, but I imagine that’s because the affair rate is so high.
To answer someone's question...YES THIS DOES STILL HAPPEN, especially in America, especially in the "integrated" North. Unfortunately, some individuals base their expections of Black, Hispanic, Muslim/Arab Americans (non-white Americans, ok) based on prior experience with others of that race, religion or ethnicity. That is what racism is. You judge me based on your prior, probably bad, experience. And, as a racist, one probably thinks that all Black, Hispanic, etc, Americans are coming to take their daughters, their jobs and ruin their neighborhoods (probably in that order) and maybe fear that Black Americans will take revenge due to historical situations when White Americans systematically murdered Black Americans (lynching) and walked away like it was a picnic (which it sometimes was!) The sad thing is, most Black Americans have no interest in your job, home, daughter or neighborhood. It's all in the racist's heads and comes out of their mouths.

・・・・ I have NEVER witnessed this type of racism in 50+ years. I HAVE, however, personally witnessed blacks screaming racism in situations that have NOTHING to do with their race but EVERYTHING to do with their behavior.

原則として、外国人留学生をアルバイトとして採用することはできません。なぜなら、留学生の在留資格は、日本で教育を受けるために与えられるもので、日本で就労することは、本来の目的からはずれるからです。しかし、地方入国管理局に申請し、法務大臣からの資格外活動の許可を受けた外国人留学生は、日本での学業に差し支えのない範囲内で、アルバイトなどの「報酬を受ける活動」をすることができます。ただし、その場合でも、無制限に就労させることはできません。原則として、１日の就労時間は、４時間以内です。もし、１日４時間以上就労させたい場合には、さらに、許可を受けることが必要になります。
女性は広島市内の大学に留学していたが、アルバイトが不法就労にあたるとして０６年９月に強制退去処分を受けた。訴訟では、女性のアルバイトが、在留目的が留学といえる程度にとどまっていたかどうかが争点となった。
０８年３月の一審判決は、女性が講義を無断欠席することなく、優秀な成績を収めていたことから、在留目的は留学だと認定。アルバイトを「専ら行っている」とは言えないと判断していた。
高裁判決は、出席率や成績がよければ、資格外活動を専ら行っているとはいえないとする一審判決の見解は採用できないと判断。女性のアルバイト活動は長時間に及ぶなど、勉学を阻害するものであり、多額の蓄財もしていたと認定した。

出入国管理法は、留学生が報酬を受ける活動を「専ら」行っていると「明らかに」
認められる場合は退去強制の対象になり、収容できると定める。法務省入国管理局は
「その条項にどんなケースがあたるかは解釈の問題で、一義的な基準は難しいが、
総合的に判断している」と説明する。こうした入管の法解釈や運用の是非が今後、
法廷で問われることになる。

Off-campus employment requires prior approval from the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS). Working without authorization from the BCIS or working before authorization is approved will have serious consequences for the F-1 student.
Item 12 on your Form I-20 (page 2) clearly states that "you may engage in employment only when you have received permission to work. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the loss of your student status and subject you to deportation."リンク
Japanese judge elected World Court's new president

By the Associated Press
Japanese judge Hisashi Owada has been elected the new president of the International Court of Justice.
The 76-year-old was elected in a vote among the court's 15 judges to replace British judge Rosalyn Higgins at the end of her 3-year term as president. The United Nations' highest judicialorganisation announced Owada's election on Friday.
The permanent tribunal, also known as the World Court, adjudicates disputes between UN member states and gives advisory opinions to the world body.
Owada studied at the University of Tokyo and Cambridge University in England before joining the Japanese foreign service where he held numerous diplomatic posts. He joined the World Court as one of its judges in 2003.
Race, Gender, and More Violence in Moscow
SOVA reports:
On 27 January 2009, a twenty-four year old Nigerian was beaten at a bus stop near Metro Station Aviamotornaia.
As the Nigerian was talking with his Russian girlfriend, a young man approached him and asked what was going on. Then the man called out to two of his friends and, with cries of “Russia, Russia!” they started to beat the Nigerian.
The attacked man incurred minor wounds to his face. He is certain that the attack was racially motivated.*
Serious question: does this type of virulent nationalism ever NOT come in a package deal with sexist ideas about the protection of women?魚拓

. The problem is with this new generation. They don't understand the difference between nationalism and patriotism. They confuse the two."
Russia's second war in Chechnya and the 1999 apartment block bombings, which killed almost 300 people in four Russian cities, created this new xenophobia.
Dyomushkin describes Putin's Russia as a "police state", which has retained the worst aspects of the Soviet Union while getting rid of the good bits. "It may seem a paradox, but our movement is now fighting for freedom. It is the nationalists who are fighting for freedom of speech and assembly.

A 33-year-old woman who attended the press conference spoke strongly, “If there are no Japanese flight attendants in the airplane, what happens if there’s an emergency? How will Japanese passengers be attended to?”
Huh? Japanese passengers can only be attended to by Japanese flight attendants?
It’s not clear if this 33-year-old woman is one of the litigants or not, but I hope she’s not speaking for them officially. You can’t claim to be the victim of “discrimination by nationality” while harboring basically the exact same thoughts while going about your job.
