I have never read Hitlers book and would be disgusted by some contents inside. If someone wants to limit what I can read based on their opinion, I hate them.

I was able to confirm these reports today when I found that a Family Mart in Saitama Prefecture had 5 copies of the magazine, all of them displayed in the very front of its magazine rack. I purchased one of the copies, so that I could look over the magazine myself. As reported, it labels foreigners as a source of crime and even has pages in which it condemns interracial sex between foreigners and Japanese women: Oi Nigger!! Get your fuckin’ hands off that Japanese lady’s ass!! [Actual scan from the book, and it clearly says “nigger” in katakana.] [...] [...] Reports from foreigner commenters on Debito.org, Big Daikon forums, and this site have revealed that Family Mart, a Japanese convenience store chain, is selling an anti-foreigner magazine called “Gaijin Hanzai File” [Foreigner Crime File] in many of its locations across Japan.

If you could create a video game where the objective is to discriminate against Japanese travellers. For example to charge them more, deny them the better quality locations in hotels and restaurants, cheat them ect. It would get attention and you could use the magazine to show why you created the game. And embarrass them into changing. I can't get anyone to listen to me when I explain about Japan. Most people can't get beyond-"Robots, there must be a lot of robots there" I hope you can find it and do something good with it I understand what you are trying to do, but does anyone not living in Japan care?

At least I could scan more of it and let the whole world see what kind of crap the publisher and Family Mart are supporting fallsdownalot:

I've seen some of the stuff he's dived into around TEFL college assistants contractual issues and it seems like where he gets involved he just makes things worse. Shouting "racism" all the time, polarizing the arguments to the extreme and acting as though he has the unelected remit to speak for all non-japanese ethnic individuals who have involvement with Japan doesn't help people learn to accept their differences and identify their common ground.

I would think the whole "Nigga, get your hands off our women" would be sufficient cause to be offended. We have freedom of speech, not freedom from speech. Meinkampf, hateful as it is, is not banned.

Any book or publication, which fear of foreigner and uses wrong data and myth, should not be allowed to publicized. More importantly then the FREE SPEECH is the respect to each other.

However, here's an interesting thought: last month you did that Roppongi English book where we laughed along at the badly-hidden anti-Charisma Man rant. Here, Debito in covering a book and we are supposed to be offended? If you'd posted the scans first would we (as in your readers) have been less offended? And what exactly are we supposed to be offended about? PS: I can't access the BigDaikon page to see what's there.

I just checked a Family Mart on my way home from work: looked at every non-porn magazine [the magazine covers in the porn section didn't seem to resemble the colors shown on amazon or the scan of the cover], but no gaijin crime book. There was a cool looking mysteries of Japanese history map book, though. Nick, thanks for the tip.
