Yoyoyo!

Hey this is me interviewing my all-time-favorite-Japan-role-model. His name is Arudou Debito, he is a naturalized Japanese citizen who is a college professor all the way up in Hokkaido and also is civil rights activist. A couple days ago he was in Tokyo and we got together for a couple drinks and discussing how awesome we are ;)

  • Arudou Debito is a RACIST and the author of a book entitled "Yellow Little Jap".

  • @vapsuhvvaowih obiviously a very well informed individual you are sir^^

  • @TkyoSam - Is Debit living in Canada now? I heard that he quit his teaching job in Hokkaido and moved to Canada.

  • @shimokita2 As far as I know he is still in Japan dude, saw him a couple months ago.

  • @TkyoSam - I was at JALT here in Tokyo yesterday. Word is, he quit his job in Sapporo and has gone to Canada. I was surprised to hear that. If I've got bad info, I apologize, but those in the room seemed very sure of him quitting and leaving for Canada.

  • @shimokita2 Hmmm, well I mena, whatever, I bet if he was doing something big like that he would eventually announce it on his site.

  • Arudo Debito is known to be a whiny troublemaker. I'm an American who's lived in Japan for 2 and a half years, and neither I or none of the other people I know who've lived there take this guy seriously.

    Sorry to hear he's your "role model" TkyoSam, I had unsubscribe just for that :(

  • I think he lost a lot of credibility when he divorced his wife like two years after he got his citizenship... somehow when you look like just another fat bearded American who can't adjust to Japanese life the calls for equality and stuff don't carry the same 'weight' (haha)

see all

  • @TkyoSam - Sam. You ever find out if he's left Japan or not? Nothing has been announced yet on his site.

  • @MaidPocket - Hey asshole, what's worse is a Jap rapper. What the fuck do you have to rap about? You guys all look like fucking idiots.

  • @TkyoSam - Hi Sam, Debito had resigned from his teaching post at Hokkaido Information University as of March 31, 2011.

    By the way, which pub is this in Tokyo. Looks like a nice place to have a drink!

  • @TkyoSam - You're friends with him, right? Shoot him an e-mail and ask. However, that's what I was told on the weekend.

  • Hey Sam, are you working for IMADR with debito?
