Japanese culture is living and evolving, and whether you like his
methods or opinions Debito has chosen to be a part of this.  Integrating
foreigners into Japanese society is a challenge Japan and Japanese

are issues.  Integrating Japanese youth into Japanese society seems to
be a much bigger challenge.
