ある日近所の公園の自動販売機が今まで見たことがない壊され方で壊された。
この辺は観光客も多いし、最近外国人増えてるし、
こんな荒いことをするのは多分外国人かな、
子どもがよく行く公園なのに治安が悪くなったなと思っていた。
・・・証拠もないのになぜ外国人が犯人だと思ったんだろう。
じゃあ日本人ってどういう人？日本人はこんなことしない？
そもそも日本人ってどんな人のことを言うの？
両親が日本人なら日本人？
日本で生まれ育ったら日本人？
国籍が日本なら日本人？
One day, a vending machine in a nearby park was destroyed in a way I’d never seen before.
"There are so many tourists around here, and the number of foreigners has been increasing lately,"
I thought. "It was probably a foreigner who did something so violent.
This is a park where my son usually plays; the neighborhood is really going downhill."
......But why did I jump to the conclusion that it was a foreigner without any proof?
Then, what exactly is a "Japanese person"? Do Japanese people not do things like this?
What defines a Japanese person in the first place?
Is it someone whose parents are Japanese?
Is it someone born and raised in Japan?
Or is it simply someone with Japanese citizenship?
