I saw on site, Debito Arudo, a former US citizen who naturalized to USA. I want to know what you folks think about Debito Arudo.

I am thinking maybe before making gaijin Japanese, many of you Nikkei Hawaiians should be given priority for dual citizenship first. I am astonished they give a gaijinsan Japanese nationality when they haven't allowed Japanese nationality.
It makes me think, because when I become American, I must give up my Japanese nationality. But to carry around a Gaikokujin Touroku Shomeisho (Gaijin Card in my own homeland, I could not bear. I feel I would rather die a Japanese than ever set foot in Japan as a Gaikokujin. I feel that Japan undestanding about honor, should give Nikkeijin "Nikkeijin Card" rather than a Gaikokujin Card to distinguish us with dignity.
If Japan does this to me, I would never be able to face going to Japan ever again. I am not very Japanese, and feel very western, and many of you here may agree, but even for a liberal guy I find this to be too much now that I give much thought about it.
How would you Nikkei Hawaiians feel about this. Are any of you dual nationals? Any who not who had to carry Gaijin Card as being full Nikkei blood? How did it make you feel? I want to know, nissei, and sansei feeling to be different from issei, and how much.
