#StopRacialProfiling

 This is what a police officer said to an African Japanese male when he was pulled over. Although he was with three of his friends, he was the only one who was pulled over. He was only 14 when he was pulled over for the first time. Since then, he has been pulled over more than 20 times by police officers in Japan asking him to show them his residence card even though he is a Japanese citizen, but not a single time after he moved to the UK.

 Racial profiling has been a serious issue in Japan for decades, but it started to be acknowledged only recently. Explore information about what is happening in Japan through this website.
