Racism in black and white
In a recent Japan Times article entitled ¡±Kick out the touts who rule Roppongi¡± (Foreign Agenda, Dec. 3) , Gregory Clark pens a tale of his experience walking through Tokyo¡¯s untamed Roppongi district. In the second paragraph Clarke bemoans the fact that ¡°little has been done about the blight of the mostly African touts that infest the area.¡± Now if that line alone doesn¡¯t send up red flags signaling ethical problems ahead, just read on (and don¡¯t miss the part about his disappointment over the fact that the police, ¡°armed with pistols and handcuffs,¡± fail to heed his suggestion about checking the immigration status of these men of color committing no crime, just for good measure).
