[@Nhn-hu5uq]

5588 apn Stereotype*

[@Nhn-hu5uq]

5588 apn 5588 apn I get your point. Thank you for the correction. But I wouldn’t say the “ generalisation” is racist, as the definition of racism is to disrespect/consider oneself superior to someone because of their race/skin colour. Not their opinions.

[@絶望ガール]

@@Nhn-hu5uq "Humans have two arms." Is this sentence strange to you? Probably not, right? Then what about "Humans have three arms?" It is strange, isn't it? But why strange? There are people who have three arms. What is the difference between the former and the latter? I think the difference is how many people in each condition there are in the world. As you know, the number of people who have two arms is far greater than that of people with three arms. In other words, the vast majority of humans have only two arms. That's why the former sentence sounds more correct than the latter sentence despite it being true that there are indeed people who have three arms. So if you want to make a sentence to describe a certain group of people as a certain quality, you have to be sure that the majority of that group of people have that quality. Now, this sweiland75 person said, "Japanese don't mind being openly racist but do mind being criticized for it." The implications of this sentence is that the majority of Japanese are a bunch of open racists, therefore, Japanese are mostly evil people. As I said earlier, to make a sentence to label a certain group of people as a certain quality, you have to make sure that what you say about the group of people is true for the majority of them. But it's blatantly obvious that there is no way to measure the actual number of racist Japanese and what percentage of Japanese are racists. Then how did he know that Japanese are racist? Because of this video? Even if what interviewees said about Japanese is true, that doesn't mean most Japanese are racist, right? It only proves some Japanese are racist. So the only reason I can think of why he said what he said is because he just wants it to be the case that the majority of Japanese are racists. In other words, he's saying Japanese are racists, hateful people, for the sake of hating Japanese. In my opinion, a racist is someone who hates a certain group of people based on their race, ethnicity or nationality. He is clearly exuding hate for Japanese. That's why I said, "That's racist."

[@kazuki10500]

Ken narville But you said that you never been in japan right? Why you can say such a thing. Japanese who live in your country france or tourists are so bad?

[@jamesbomb7584]

To be honest, Japan is a great country to stay in for 1-2 years while studying at a language school or something like that, and just play around. When it comes to living in Japan its another story. After the novelty wears off many foreigners get depressed like the white guy in the video because the Japanese after all are too different, and the Japanese society simply is too depressing and its pure hell to work there. There is a reason why like 10-20 people jump in front of the train every single day only in Tokyo. When it comes to discrimination white people are probably rated highest, but I out of experience know that many many Japanese people dislike white people as well. Of course everyone is friendly when you meet them but they can talk some really nasty stuff behind closed doors, I've heard it myself. When it comes to other Asian people, black people, Indian people etc, they unfortunately don't like them at all. It wouldn't surprise me if they are like 100 years behind when it, especially, comes to the view of black people. I have heard Japanese people openly call black people "scary gorillas" numerous times followed by laughter. Of course they wouldn't say this in front of black people. Sorry to say this. I lived in Japan for a long time (15+ years) in the past because of work and almost all foreigners I used to meet there were like the sad white guy in the video, or they became like that after a few years. Almost everyone was really depressed and had no real Japanese friends at all, not even people who had been there for 10+ years. Its so hard to connect with Japanese people on a deep level so most foreigners in Japan end up hanging out with other foreigners. In Japan you will always be seen and treated as a gaijin (outsider), it doesn't matter if you speak more fluent Japanese than the Japanese themselves, it doesn't matter if you have better manners than the Japanese themselves, you will always be that outsider. Every single time a Japanese person talks to you, they will talk to you as an outsider in their mind. You will never be a "normal person" in Japan no matter how much you try. All this together becomes a super negative, lonely and depressing cycle in the long run and thats why most foreigners escape the country after a few years.

Personally its hard to feel bad for some of these people because no one is really forcing them to stay there and most of them weren't even born or raised there, so it isn't really their home or some last chance they have for peace from some war or oppressive government. But yet they are expressing their gerviances like something is gonna happen... I mean 71% of Japanese don't even want diversity, truly most Japanese don't want their culture flooded with foreigners. They see them as something exotic or a rare novelty and that's it. So I can't feel really bad for them plus nothing they say or do will techinally change how Japan is and I think some have accepted it since they're there just sitting and tolerating the discrimination they are getting hit with. Including the fact they will always be seen as the outsiders.

I am so sorry for them as a Japanese. To be honest, when I was young, I was avoiding sitting next to a foreigner, because in my city you don't find many foreigners and was a bit scared of them (although I never hated them) but after living in Europe for several years, I understood how terrible people may feel. (I also experienced many discriminations here, like some people swear to me or throw a can etc.) So now, when I find a space available next to a foreigner in Japan, I often sit next to them.

You're living in Germany right? - for the case you're not, i'll continue writing in english. The guy above me is right, europe is a place where everyone hates everyone. I am greek (but i live in Berlin) i for myself have no problems with other nationalities. But many Greeks for example are racist towards Albanians or Bulgarians and Albanians are racist towards Greeks. Or French people are against british people or germans and the other way around too. The Problem in Japan is that the society in Japan is almost a 100 percent japanese, while Germany for example and especially Towns like cologne, berlin or frankfurt are very multi cultural, so the people here are used too see foreigners

It is not that different with Japan in Korea.. I think maybe the reason is about no race diversity in their life. I also witnessed once that people dont try to sit next to black guy in bus. I was very embarrassed with their behavior so i sit by him. I cant forget that he smiled at me gently at that moment. And i realized that he knew about people's behavior. I was shamed as a Korean. Some person in this vedeo said "Maybe they are uncomfortable with foreigners." And, yes i think so, but i want you to know that in Korea, when some people is uncomfortable with foreigners(witch is racism..but) then, mostly it is not because of hateness or ignoring thing, just because of unfamiliar thing. Most Koreans have no experience to communicate with foreigners. So, they feel unfamiliar and kind of scared to communicate with foreigners. And, some people dont know their behavior can be felt rude by foreigners. I guess japan is same. As a Korean, I am very sorry for foreigners who experienced racism in Korea. And i think it will be resolved by getting know about forieners. So i think media can change the people's uncomfortable thing(=unfamiliar) with foreigners. TV is very effective. After broadcasting the entertainment program like 'bijungsangwhedam'(비정상회담) which foreigners introduce their culture and debate about many things with Koreans(They speak all of that in Korean), people became more familiar with foreigners. Anyway, whatever the ways, i hope more people know that what makes foreigners feels umcomfortable/rude. And also i hope that Asians dont have experiences many intended racism in Western world too.

I lived in Korea for 5 years and for me it was totally understandable that Korean people were not happy being around foreigners. Number one reason was that the majority of foreigners living in Korea do not take the country, the people and the culture seriously. Just like the guy in the video said at the end - you have to put some effort, you need to show people a good reason to like you and respect you. In my last two years, when I really put a lot of effort to learn decent amount of Korean language and talked with all these Korean people in the community like random 아줌마, 택시 기사님 etc. my life in Korea improved significantly. There's still a fair amount of discrimination for mixed couples/marriages but that's often because parents do not want to lose their child, who will most likely leave Korea to live abroad. In most cases, quitting your job will make it very hard for you to get back on the job market if you come back in case your relationship doesn't work out. Some parents don't want to take that risk

Japan can not afford to be so xenophobic and homogenous for much longer. Let’s put it this way, in 1995, at the peak of Japan’s economic growth, the GDP of Japan was around $5.5 trillion while the GDP of the US was at $7.5 trillion. Back then, many analysts were predicting that Japan would overtake the US as the largest economy in the world. Sadly Japan has stagnated for more than 2 decades. Today, the US is at around $20 trillion, while Japan’s GDP today is LOWER than it was back in 1995. With the aging population, if Japan doesn’t do something soon then it is very possible that Japan could collapse. Japan already has a staggering amount of debt, and the working population in Japan in shrinking annually. There is severe demand for both skilled and unskilled labor in Japan. Unfortunately, because of the xenophobic culture, nobody actually wants to immigrate to Japan. Japan has a really tough time attracting immigrants, especially High skilled immigrants. I am connected to a network of expatriates and literally nobody ever talks about or is interested in Japan. More often than not, US is the top choice for expats, followed by Europe, Australia etc. If Japan doesn’t do something to address this issue, pretty soon they will have trouble attracting low skilled immigrants, let alone highly skilled ones.

The high-skilled labor have more options, they will not go in Japanese companies treated like dogs anyway. What comes around, goes around. Ill say that there are plenty high-skilled labors in Japan, IT and engineers, but to take a high-skilled labors into your company, the company must learn to open and accept friction with good attitude, otherwise why they are high-skilled?

I think that it's becoming just an excuse to say that the reason Japanese people discriminate is because they're homogenous and rely on media. They have internet almost as good as South Korea. In fact, more Japanese reach out to the West than Koreans. It's just an excuse to say that they don't know that they are acting racist or discriminatory. They have the 2nd fastest internet in the world. Just like SK everyone has a smart phone. There is no reason that in Tokyo, a hub for international dealings, would have discrimination. I could understand the country areas, but not in a city like Tokyo.

[@tashieschimchim6791]

In terms of travel and tourism, Japan has historically had a higher rate of tourism. SK only recently saw a spark of foreign tourism and immigration due to the Hallyu wave. If you compare Tokyo to Seoul, overwhelmingly more people have visited or lived in Tokyo. We aren't talking about Japanese and SK people living overseas, though that is important, we are talking about the racism that Japanese people living in Tokyo give towards foreigners. SK may have sent more kids to school overseas, but Japan has had more foreign trade than SK and has historically had more foreigners living there than SK outside of the military. Neither country, especially in Seoul and Tokyo has an excuse, however, for their lack of understanding of what discrimination. Both cities have had broadcasts called out for their blackface and poor representation of black people multiple times. In the age of the internet, there's no excuses anymore. We need to stop making excuses for problematic behavior

She's probably pretty close to the figure if we're talking about western foreigners. 70 percent of the foreigners living in Japan are from other Asian countries, mostly South Korea and China and they also happen to be the most discriminated against because of historical political tensions but it is the same in their countries towards Japanese people as well. I bet most of the 33% who said they felt discrimination were either Chinese of South Koreans. That's actually a pretty low percentage tbh. I'd have expected that to be much higher but i guess Japan is slowly changing( and the same with South Korea and China).

[@Arstifartsi]

I've lived in Japan a total of four years but on three separate occasions and I have to say that for the most part Japanese people are not racist, just uneducated/uninformed. Being half Japanese I did get some dirty looks because I don't speak Japanese. My boyfriend who is 6'2", husky, and has naturally curly hair did get a lot of attention, not all of it bad. However, there were moments when where we were told to leave a restaurant or shop because "only Japanese. No English!" Funny thing is that my boyfriend speaks Japanese a lot better than I do. We did have one truly racist, bigoted moment when we tried to get haircuts. A coworker suggest a salon so we went after work, when we sat down a stylist and manager came up and started pointing to the door and speaking quite loudly, for Japanese people. Thankfully a woman who spoke English came over to help. The woman tried to calm the manager and stylist down, but then suddenly got quite red and visibly upset. She hurriedly paid, grabbed our hands, and stormed out. Turns out the manager used some really racial and derogatory terms for me being half and my boyfriend for being heavy. The woman apologized profusely and was shocked and very upset. She kept saying that the Japanese aren't like that, that they were acting shameful, and that she won't go back again. Sorry for the long story but Japan is not a racist country as a whole.

[@KenjiKanazawa]

I am Japanese. The first thing I can say is that Japanese people do not consider discrimination in many things that foreigners find discriminatory. It is a Japanese culture and a lifestyle that has changed with the times. For example, I saw many comments that "even Japanese people don't get along well." But that is a Japanese custom. Even if we are both Japanese, we do not treat strangers in a friendly manner. Also, many people don't speak English, so Japanese people tend to want to stay away from foreigners. It's not discrimination. It's just shy. After that, Japan has a long history of monoethnicity, and the ratio of foreigners is still low. Many Japanese live without contact with foreigners. Therefore, Japanese people are not accustomed to foreigners. I think that is one of the reasons. If you have any questions, I will answer them.
