A few of them have kicked my leg. I used to live in America. There are two big differences between the two countries. One is, Japanese people think it’s embarrassed to be a victim. Second is, Japanese people believe that their national characteristic is the best in the world. There’s a Japanese girl who was raped in a dorm of American university. After she came back to Japan, she decided to go back to THE PLACE SHE WAS RAPED because she couldn’t stand being considered shame. Many Japanese people get mad to hear that I have faced more crimes and “racism” in Japan than in America. Many of them say it must be my fault(Those Japanese people are very shy and polite to Westerners). That’s why many Japanese people hide that they have been victims.

This neo-American proto-fascist conspiro version of "logic" would claim: country X has ZERO violence against women, because it has NO women; therefore it is a great friendly country. But in the fact-based community, this is pretty ridiculous. Canada is the most multicultural country and one on the top countries measured by safety, political stability and one of the least racist. Hungary is one of the racist and most antisemetic countries in the OECD.

[@paulsmith1981]

@@kf9346 If country X had no women at all then that country would have zero violence against women. Which is logically correct. You just added on an additional parameter correlating violence against women as a measure of all types of crime which is illogical. Until recently Canada had a supper European majority. Its ultra multiculturalism is a recent thing which is being driven by ideology not logic. The fact is interethnic conflicts form the vast majorities of conflicts globally. Which is all to evident in Israel today. I can also point to Rwanda, Chechnya, Iraq, Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia, Democratic republic of the Congo. South Africa. Turkey. Myanmar. The Sudan. Ethiopia. and Somal as hotbeds of interethnic tensions. Calling people racist doesn't change facts.

We are living in a global world as well as a diverse one, and it's not something that should be taken for granted or ignored because it is a factor for some folks especially as it relates to personal safety. So, if you do future videos on this, I hope you consider it. Thanks

Many more assaults on women which is worrying as I have a teenage daughter. My once perfect city is unsafe and I myself have been attacked for getting in someones way, my daughter has been threatened with execution at school. It is a huge worry and I feel so sad with todays developments. 15 years ago, perhaps even 10 years ago, Sweden would have surely been in the top 10.
