I thought Arizona was introducing Japanese type laws?

Debito isn't a just legal resident of Japan, permanent or otherwise. He's a CITIZEN. This isn't about what rights you have as a non-citizen, non-national of a country. This entire discourse is about treating citizens differently under the law, which is wrong.
Well I disagree here. I think nobody should face discrimination regardless of their legal status (unless legal status is relevant of course) and I think THAT is what Debito campaigns for. The thing about him being a Japanese citizen is just a part of his bigger argument.

Anyway... regarding Debitos tactics.. Im not sure what people are talking about. All Ive heard from the guy are a few of his articles that I come across on here and in class (yes weve used a couple of his essays in class here at the Japanese university Im in.. I guess my professors are on the "crazy train" ) regarding a couple of specific issues. He is no MLK junior but I cant really find fault with what he says unless some of what he says is a blatant lie or exaggeration.
