I'm taking it quite well thank you because nothing has changed. My ID is proof I'm in any country legally.
Having to show simple ID to law enforcement is not racists.
It is the WORLD we live in.
There is no loss of freedom or civil liberties. You exaggerate. Show your ID, as you always have, and you can get back is to whatever you do.

Just because you have your "papers in order" doesn't mean there isn't an injustice happening here. Wow, what a selfish argument.
Your argument that "that is how they do it in Japan" holds no water to me for a couple reasons.
There are certain freedoms we enjoy in the US that are not law in Japan. Are you willing to give up all those freedoms so we can live under the same laws as Japan?
No, of course not. Japan is an island country that is practically homogeneous. In practical terms, citizenship is based on race in Japan. That is changing little by little, but it has to do with the race of one's father or mother and where one is born.
Simply put, that isn't how we do it in US. If that's how you think we should do it, then that is fine, but I am shocked you would be willing to give up so many of the freedoms we are guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
