It’s still worth watching , however I felt there’s a lack of perspectives from the black Japanese. Those voices are from foreigners, but black people are not only from the overseas, but born in Japan and grew up in Japan. That must give us the different perspectives.

Don't know why when people see advertisement of beauty products or cream then they don't feel offended . Technical term for this is eugenies . Racism is a very very big problem Specially in developed countries . Disclaimer I don't promote racism I am myself against it . change of complexion is only possible before birth . No fairness cream can change it . Yah have to take cell from white people white men and white women and use IVF aur ICSI injection . But people should come forward to donate their cells . We. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏sry for anything I do not want to offend any one . Read the disclaimer carefully I do not want to promote racism . But it shows double standard of people that they don't go against fairness creams and fairness treatment . Especially when rich influential people promot it . Now they are having problem with this . How hypocrite some people are .

It would have been interesting for you to interview people that are born in Japan, are actually culturally Japanese, but have black skin. When there, I met more than one black Japanese person that didn't speak English! I think that the racism is even worse for them. Often they are the children of US military who aren't personally involved with their child's life, or the child of an international student who when home, never to return.

It honestly makes me really sad that black people have to justify that they're not dangerous, they're not dirty, they're not gangsters or can rap etc. I think media representation is one of the biggest cause of this mindset. Although I am Korean and have experienced my fair share of racism, stereotypes, generalisation, I have worked with many people from different ethnicities and they have completely dispelled any negative perception / stereotypes that I had. I highly encourage everyone to befriend people of different culture / background :)

Racism in Asia usually stems from ignorance rather than hate. You will not hear hate crimes in Asia like you would in America and Europe. And how often do you hear police shootings of non Asians in Asia? I was born in the Philippines and the first non Filipino I've seen was a blonde haired, pale girl, and she terrified me to the point were I was crying and my mom had to apologize. That's coming from ignorance and fear on my part, but not hate.

asian countries (except India) n east european countries are ethnically homogenous..there is no variety of cultures, languages, ethnicities in their society n these countries were kind of closed off to foreigners for various reaosns untill now. also their schools do not teach them abt diff cultures hence they are ignorant. It is the duty of govt n media to educate ppl about such things. Even though India is extremely diverse still we get to see racist n casteist incidents here n there but overall, general public, media n celebs are very vocal abt such things n openly criticize govt for not implementating stricter rules and school ppl who initiate such acts..

@@渡辺春樹-z7x That’s incredibly offensive man. Is there to teach you English so you can better work internationally and thus with each other. Not exclusively global culture, but that can be a part of it. Then again, Japan is for too inwards looking to begin with. It’s one of the reasons why it’s society’s moves so slowly forward culturally wise by comparison to its rapid technological growth. It’s done better than many others in the east, but by comparison to everything else it has achieved, it is disappointing that it has been so slow in this category when it comes to foreigners. If it doesn’t do so soon, it could face a near extinction in the countryside without bringing in some new blood. The rules are simple. Evolve, mix, adapt or die. Those are the only ways in which a society moves forward.

I came to America from West Africa and I only knew about White people based on their skin so when I arrived I thought EVERYONE who didn’t have brown/black skin were white. I didn’t know about any other ethnicity lol. I am still learning about different ethnicities and “Races” because it gets confusing when someone is mixed or just looks ambiguous lol. But anyway I guess when you don’t have exposure to the rest of the world you won’t know how diverse the world is.

Thank you for producing this series on being black in East Asia. Many African-Americans are moving abroad, especially teachers. Some of the comments remind me of when I lived in Spain, that racism is detectable but we shrug it off as ignorance rather than injustice, that it's surmountable instead of intractable. Also it's interesting how you interviewed black people of diverse backgrounds. When we grow up in the U.S. or in Africa, the Caribbean or Latin America we adopt different attitudes towards how we are perceived. One thing we have in common is a sense of adventure and independence, that ability to go somewhere where you stand out and not be discouraged because of that.

I remember when I was in school, i asked my English teacher who was a black American if i can touch his hair. Because his hair looked different for me. Especially I'm from the countryside, I don't really find white people or black people. When we ask about their skin or hair, it's just because we don't know anything about it or really interesting for us. We're just ignorant. (Edit) I want to add something more because I still get likes and people might read it in the future. SO I also asked the same question to white person. I'm just genuinely curious about everything. I didn't ask the question because he was black or white. I ask questions because we are different. I ask people sometimes about their eye color too. Sometimes to my Japanese friend. Japanese people can have very light brown eyes too. My hair and eyes are black so when I look at someone who looks different from me, I used to be really curios and ask questions. Now I understand that it could be rude and very sensitive topic so I won't do it anymore unless they are my friends. I never treat anyone like an animal. Remember when Japanese people ask questions like this to black people, it's not like we think you are an animal. You are different and being different is beautiful.

Well I think you should be at least close to the person to ask those questions like touching hair or skin because it simply makes the person uncomfortable. I don't know for other people but in my case it makes me really uncomfortable even though you're asking before touching. Can you imagine if a total stranger or your student asks you" Sorry teacher, can I touch your hair, your eyes or your skin because this is my first time to meet a Japanese person" can you just imagine the feeling, even though it is ignorance or an interesting topic, you can be curious while being respectful.

I want to move to Japan in the future after I get my nursing degree. And I watch Asian boss a lot because I’m not a Japanese and I’m just trying to see like out other black people and other minorities live in Japan. I really do like you guys videos but it’s kind of heartbreaking knowing that you might not have somewhere to work or sleep because the color of your skin and I understand that they are a homogeneous country but I just wish there were more opportunities at least for the minorities.

You are exactly correct. That is why if you are doing nursing, in my opinion is finding a nursing program with the military. A place to stay and work with your profession with military might be a better route other than that it would be a teacher.

As long as they learn and abide by the societal rules and can speak some Japanese, black people should be fine in Tokyo. I've lived in Tokyo twice (soon to be three times), and they were some of the best experiences of my life. Black people aren't specifically looked down upon in the same way as they are in the west (and, from what I've heard, several other Asian countries). People will stare sometimes, but people stare at foreigners in general in Japan, and this is much less common in Tokyo than in other regions. There's no significant cultural baggage there in terms of negative stereotypes about black people, which is honestly refreshing.

So when it was time for me to go to Asia in 2014, I wanted to go to Japan but chose Korea instead due to being placed in a city instead of the rural areas (which was a good experience). I still might go to Japan since my dad liked it so much and he doesn't like anything! lol.

One of those experiences included an old man grabbing me by the wrist trying to take me with him. I had the most polite experiences happen in Kyoto and Tokyo. I had an overall amazing experience in and on the outskirts of Nagoya.

As a Japanese,How contrived this interview is, even though she is not Japanese to begin with.😂😂 We don't discriminate against people because they are black, but we consider people who speak a language that is not Japanese to be foreigners. I dislike the way this interview was conducted, with the assumption that there is a stereotype because she is black. The Japanese are a mono-ethnic nation, so they see foreigners and consider them "rare. Recently, though, we have more and more opportunities to come into contact with people from other countries. It's easy to link this to discrimination, but I'd like you to consider these things.

A lot of hate from the same few people, looks like they have a personal gripe and went looking for an opportunity to vent. I don't think any of the interviewees seemed annoyed at all. Maybe they had been once long ago, but they have all obviously come to an understanding of it all and are not holding any grudges. I don't get why a few people are seeing it as 'complaining' when they're literally just answering questions on this specific topic (and not even saying anything in an angry way). I guess they were supposed to lie and cover it up? I don't think that's the point of these videos.

I'm Filipino Japanese. We never discriminate on color. They might want their skin lighter for physical reasons because it was stuck in their mind that lighter is prettier, but not to judge a person as to how they're raised or automatically tell who's bad or not. He is right. Not racist, but ignorance. When i came to America and find out how people judge a person based on color, i was shocked. I find it shallow minded.

Id love to see that, because ive seen some many instances where asian chefs will serve something with meat but if vegetables are the primary focus of the dish they'll think its appropriate for veggies/vegans. Also i heard a story of when a vegetarian ordered something with out meat and it came with meat, then they sent it back to the kitchen and the chef just picked the meat out so it was still obviously contaminated, so i don't think some have a good idea of what cross contamination means either!

ooh that would be interesting! I'm vegetarian and most of my experience has been okay- most of my asian friends (at university in the west, teens and 20s) are accepting and are happy to choose restaurants with veggie menu options (and sometmes choose the veggie options with me!). One experience that stands out tho is an ex-bf that basically tried to make me eat meat while I was dating him smhh My mum is sorta against it but mostly because she didn't know many veggie dishes and because my dad is a massive carnivore who thinks its "unnatural" to cut out meat from a diet :// When I visited family in Japan in 2018 they were also fairly accepting but I had to go back to eating meat because of the lack of veggie options on the menu 😥😭 but yeah, would love to see what asians think in general, not just in my immediate surroundings!

The Olympics is supposed to be about showcasing athletics at the highest level, not about voicing your political opinions. It doesn't matter which side of the fence you happen to fall on with a particular issue, it should be kept out of the sphere of athletics. Not only is it unfair for the athletes involved, but it's also a distraction for the viewers because it takes away the spotlight from the purpose of the event.

@@noticemesenpai69 Where you said the Japanese don't treat them well. Obviously there's going to be exceptions anywhere but for the most part (and from what I've been told from the black people I knew living in Japan) they've usually been met with genuine kindness. After a while living in Japan you can pretty much tell which Japanese people are acting fake friendly around you and the sincere ones. One of the guys at my job said some of his coworkers cried when they learned he was going to visit his family in America. They told him to be careful and even their homeroom teacher (main English teacher) gave him gifts to take home with him without him asking. Some Japanese treat all foreigners in a similar way, but regardless of skin color usually they'll just lump you as the American foreigner. It really just depends on the person.

It's interesting to see this, I lived in the Japanese countryside for a while, both in the south and in the north for a couple of years. I have had the children screaming at you experience mainly in China where I am now, but in Japan, I have had children pull me over to politely whisper to not humiliate me in front of others and ask me why I was Black. The people not sitting next to you on the train, and refusal of housing seems to happen to every foreigner as well. The other things are crazy like denying bank accounts because of skin color, I never heard of it but it's super sad to hear that happened. Sometimes there are understandable reasons as to why things happen, and sometimes we need to make people aware of why certain things are unacceptable. But overall, my experience in Japan was overwhelmingly positive, more than China and more than the US.

Did you know that there are many troubles caused by foreigners? Since coming to Japan, there have been many incidents of noise, voyeurism, vandalism, and theft. Still, Japanese should not discriminate against foreigners! Don't just say convenient things. Japanese people who don't get angry are too kind. If this happened in any other country, please go back to your country! It is said. If you don't like Japan, stay in your country for the rest of your life.
