Lawsuits in Japan Over Alleged Racial Profiling

Three foreign-born residents in Japan are suing the government for alleged racial profiling, claiming they were questioned by police based on their race, skin color, and nationality. They are seeking compensation and hope to raise awareness of the issue. Japan's high ethnic homogeneity has led to prejudices against those who look different, including "hafu" individuals, and has sparked controversies over beauty standards and Japanese identity.
