Regarding Debito Arudou's Aug. 5 article, "Once a 'gaijin,' always a 'gaijin' ": I am truly sick of reading Arudou's rants. When will he get over himself? If Japanese society is so inhospitable/racist, why has he chosen it as home? It is no more xenophobic than any other society. But this realization would mean that Arudou had nothing more to write about, so he has to keep the myth alive. Arudou needs to find a new subject.
