We all know there is discrimination in Japan if we have lived here for a while, experienced life and view media. Many of these half kids are suffering through the lack of laws to protect them.

Anyone who doesn't want these children to have equality and protection in society is…

Japan is terribly expensive due to the high value of the Yen and ridiculous hotel and Shinkansen prices.

Japan is not competitive. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the worlds most expensive place to live at present, with the current value of the Yen.

Japanese people need to take a stand against racism towards half and others who are differnet, because the govt will not take notice of us ever.

These numbers are nonsense. What do they mean by welfare? Over 1 million Japanese are on lifetime welfare beenfits due to severe mental illness, in other countries they would be included in the figures.

vettegirl: Greta post , bring up some excellent points. I'm fear that the resident Japanophiles will not understand it, or pick bits out and twist the facts etc, as usual.

Sod cell phones.Loads of people in Japan up to middle aged seem addicted to them. Non stop texting emails etc. Read a book or catch up on some current affairs with a decent newspaper.

I agree with taiko666. Discrimination of all kinds must be made illegal for half Japanese and aged, disabled, women etc. If it is not illegal it can continue unabated and innocents will suffer.

Let us remeber innocents are victims unprotected by law, that should not happen in a civiliesed nation!

likeitis: It works in my home country fine. Racists know they will not be tolerated and could face prison. It does work directly. The poor half and foreign kids here need protection by the law and if the offenders know they face a criminal conviction teh deterrenec is in place…

likeitis: Better to ignore it huh? There are many successfull prosecutions for racially motivated crimes in Britain each year. Society has to be mature enough to decide the differnece between bullying and racial discrimination.

Seems like some here don'T like equality for all, what sad people.

japan has no laws to protect half or any other foreigner who has been discriminated against. The reason Japan does not have these laws is not because they don't need them, even though the UN has condemned the widespread discrimination here, but because they don't care.
