They act like there is no problem it’s all normal.
I mentioned several things Japan should change. How is that “acting like there’s no problem”?
What I’m saying it’s not Apartheid. Because it isn’t. Apartheid is a specific thing with a specific definition.
What are you talking about “in general, no.”
I mean “in general, no”. If a pregnant couple travels to the US on a tourist visa and gives birth there, the child will be a US citizen. That’s not the case in Germany or for that matter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#/media/File:Jus_soli_world.svg. Korea itself doesn’t have Ius soli.
It is how it works since the year 2000. If you are born there yes, you can get citizenship, given your parent live there for 8 years.
Living here doesn’t suffice, you need permanent residency – though if you’re here for that long, that should generally be the case. And it’s not “you can become a citizen” but “you are a citizen”. If you don’t grow up in Germany with that kind of Ius soli citizenship you’ll have to choose with 21 whether you keep your foreign or German citizenship.
That kind of regime is btw what I proposed Japan introduce in my previous comment. You might want to start reading what I write.
There are generations of zainichi who have not got citizenship.
And Japan should make the procedure easier for them. I have said that already. But that doesn’t mean that they’re treated any differently from any other non-citizen. They in fact do enjoy some rights not afforded to other permanent residents. So, yes, those “different laws” exist, but they’re in the favour of Zainichis.
Go and have a look at actual Apartheid regimes. The degree of discrimination, the complete impossibility of leaving second-class citizen status, the lot of it. Noone is going to listen to your demands for better citizenship laws if you keep on pretending Zainichis can’t shop in the same 7/11s that the rest of Japan shops in.
