Calculation of Interests (Cont’d)
This should still be remembered by the reader, but as I wrote in No. 15 of the series in early December some of those prostitutes took clients even in trains. The harm they did to the reputation of fellow Japanese women, if not the entire Japanese population, is not small. Look at Fernie, look at Nelson. Even fellow Japanese men, and even pure straight business men, would enter the town and suddenly be yelled at by low-class whites, “You, a pimp of Jap girls!” Those towns are already unpopular among the Japanese, which has resulted in an impression held by those local people that Japanese are, by and large, no good. What is the situation in Revelstoke? Japanese people even have difficulty walking around the caves. We may not need to walk in the area in the first place, but we still should not have a problem walking the street that is supposed to be accessible to all. However, on these streets police officers could interrogate you or, what is worse, they could take you to the police station if you stumble. Given such risks, no one would have courage to deny the inconvenience we experience, even if police authority has issued a policy to protect prostitutes. You do not need to have this explained to you. If you judge based on your common-sense you can easily see how many crimes are involved in the cave businesses: communication with devils in Japan; abduction of young women; illegal use of forged passports; acts almost like human-trafficking. We would need more than ten fingers if we start counting them.
How can these schemes improve the reputation of the Japanese? They only defame honorable Japanese people.
Then let me step further and explain how the presence of Japanese caves in the Canadian interior impacts the prosperity of immigrants from the standpoint of policies.
As the reader know, those prostitutes never take Japanese as their clients. They only welcome whites and Chinese, and sometimes blacks.
This means that the argument made by Tetsuji Hayakawa, an advocate for prostitution in immigrant countries, who is famous in Japan, cannot be applied to Canada, because prostitution of Japanese women has no value to the employment (!) of the fellow Japanese in Canada. Then what if they actually start taking Japanese as their clients? Let me explain this with actual examples.
