Regarding Japan's longstanding ban on dual #citizenship, an Asahi Shimbun editorial https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14846327 is fine as far as it goes, but it focuses on the type of #Japanese #expatriates in #Europe who are suspected of changing #nationality to evade taxes. To us #immigrants in #Japan, it is more important that our half-Japanese "haafu" kids and others should not feel forced to choose one cultural allegiance simply because #biculturalism is not recognized or understood here.

The law is not enforced in Japan, so it can be like a joke that vaccination makes three passports. Our happy-go-lucky sons have no conception of what it would be like to be an outsider or to agonize over their cultural #identity.
