Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners

@SSS Before you read my reply- please know that I am one of the folks who *liked* your comment- because it is absolutely TRUE! onto my reply: With one exception- America doesn't presume to take pride in teaching their kids, manners, discipline and courtesy and then condone their bullying behavior towards others. Never in America will you see a talk show host tell a girl she "looks to chubby for his taste" and then have the comment be condoned because "that's his standard of beauty" Sadly, many Americans don't give a shit about teaching their kids right from wrong and will stand behind their misogyny, or rascism or bigotry- but Japan pretends to be better but acts the same (which is why I totally agree, it sounds just like America). My stance is, if you're going to teach your kids to have manners and have compassion, then enforce it as well- cause when you don't, you're a hypocrite for looking down on other countries *ahem- AMERICA* that don't even bother to try.

I'm Japanese. These are usually right on target. But sometimes there are foreigners who misunderstand Japanese, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Japanese basically like foreigners. How can we hate people who love our country? In Japan, there is no such thing as cultural theft, and we are very happy to see foreigners wearing kimonos. I've never heard the term "cultural theft" before from a foreigner. So thank you for being a fan of Japan. And I sincerely welcome anyone who respects Japanese culture and manners. ⚠️I am Japanese and I am talking about basic Japanese personality, Non-Japanese people should not dismiss my opinions without basis. Prejudice, in particular, breeds misunderstanding. I'm talking about 80% Japanese. I am not saying that 100% of Japanese people like foreigners.

[@evapeh690]

@@707-o7t Yes I'm Caucasian. But they were curious and some might have stared at me, because I'm a "gaijin" obviously (Tall and red hair). I don't think they will judge you, because you are dark-skinned. Often it's not the look but the behavior you show, like breaking their rules or beeing impolite (also unintended), what makes them judge. They are usually nice to tourists. It would be something entirely different, if you live in Japan. I've heard it's difficult for some people with dark skin color. Which is unfortunate. I hope you won't get judged or anything else when you visit Japan and you can enjoy your stay. If you are feeling stared at, then don't take it to your heart. It might be curiousity only.

@Daemisa Naervil who's naive and who got used as an attraction?

[@evapeh690]

@Daemisa Naervil why do you think that? I didn't feel used and I didn't feel like an attraction. To me it was their way to communicate and maybe to practice their scarce English skills. But for me it was the same then. I wanted to communicate with locals and practice my Japanese. By the way I meet a Japanese couple in Tokyo, who just asked from which country I am etc. At the end we talked for 3 hours, walked through half Ueno, had some beer and snacks and sharing phone numbers. That was 3 years ago and we are still in contact since. So I'm glad they've approached me then. So don't call me naive for whatever reason, especially because you don't know me and don't know my experiences with Japanese in detail.

[@aiueo_8]

We Japanese DO like foreigners, especially those who come to and enjoy Japan:( I understand the title should be attracting one but I’m really sad to see this title and it should be changed... We just don’t like bad manners, and this definitely doesn’t mean we don’t like foreigners.

[@aoeu256]

*Only if they are tourists I have Japanese simply exclude me from everywhere online when they figured out I was a foreigner (which can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours b/c of my poor Japanese skills).

aoeu256 That’s true... I feel sorry for what you’ve experienced. I think such Japanese just felt a kind of anxiety for speaking English. and I hope things will go well with you if you’re still working on Japanese :)

[@PanSzawu]

あいうえお I think it depends, because many foreigners often do not have the same standards of manners. Like I personally would like us to have the same standards of Japan in Canada but frankly that’s not going to happen.

[@aiueo_8]

John Johnovich Yes, I see your point. Japanese put more emphasis on obeying the rules or manners than people from other countries. What I wanted to say is, Japanese themselves understand the fact stated above so that they don't care much about foreigners (especially tourists) indifferent about manners or something unless such people break the rules intentionally.

[@parisgracefully]

as a foreigner living in japan... i can say the best way to sum up what you can expect in japan... japanese people are polite, they are not friendly. they value respect and acting "proper". generally speaking, they will only be social or friendly in service situations (at restaurants, hotel hosts, etc). very very rare to have any contact at all outside of that. i typically feel ignored or silently judged.

[@septicwomb4394]

Go to a nomihoudai, I do it all the time and loads of random Japanese people want to talk and drink with me. I think for Japanese people the decision of whether to interact depends very much on the social context. They have different personalities for different situations. Then again, several Japanese people have struck up conversations with me randomly in the street, and some strangers I see regularly (shop workers etc.) smile and make conversation beyond simple politeness. I'd add that most Japanese avoid displaying negativity, so won't make it obvious how they feel about someone they're interacting with. Because of that, they avoid interacting too much with strangers for fear of bothering the other person. I think it's a form of politeness in Japanese culture. Good manners, deference and humility also go a hell of a long way to being liked in Japan.

He often says it's what you have to do when you buy convenience store food like onigiri because there are no bins in public, so you have to eat just outside the store and dispose of the rubbish immediately. It's also impolite to eat while walking, so eating while standing or squatting outside Lawson or 7-eleven or Family Mart is the best option on-the-go.

Essentially what I take out of this is foreigners are unappreciated because they simply don't understand the culture and its norms. Thats simple to work around, you just gotta learn the ways.

[@sidthestud911]

Unfortunately, even if you do follow their cultural norms, they will always carry a hostile sentiment against foreigners. It got pretty depressing because I always felt like an outcast with nobody to talk to and I eventually decided to go back to my home town. Then again this was just my personal experience and i hope you have a much better time in Japan.

I wish to frig, people could learn to stop being so selfish and self centered all the time. It's not much different than people trashing everything, all the time, when there are garbage containers close by or they can have a bag to put their trash in until they get to a public, garbage container. But no, what do these cunts do, they take their food and drink with them and when they're done throw the leftovers, wrappings, cups, what have you, down wherever they may be.

[@TriegaDN]

@Ken narville Many cities bid on it, also it's not the country as a whole, it's the cities once again, and a lot of them do it. They tend to see it as a way to boost tourism and as a display or wealth and power in some cases. For Japan, I think it's mostly the tourism angle and it could also be to get foreigners excited about Japan. As much as there is the whole "Japan hates foreigners", the current politics of Japan recognize they are struggling with the whole drop in birth rates, and need foreigners to fill the void. Also, most Japanese that live in places that have a lot of exposure to foreigners don't hate foreigners, might get annoyed with some foreigners, but they're not as xenophobic as they once were, but it is still present. I think much of the Japanese government wants to get foreigners excited for Japan, and they hope to bring in foreigners from countries that seem more "desirable" to them, like the US/Canada/Australia, and the wealthier European nation. Right now they bring in some South East Asians for low wage jobs and treat the migrant workers pretty poorly, to the point that many of these young migrants break down and return home. This is all based off my understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.

While this isn't exactly specific to Japan, It is the most prevalent in Japan. It can be extremely difficult to accurately gauge how favorably a Japanese person does or does not think of you. Most people in Japan will treat most or everyone kindly and politely, even if they don't like them. Read about Face in Japan. It's a matter of creating and always showing the best image for yourself, and part of that means always being polite and respectful towards everyone, even if, and especially if you don't like them.

on one hand their culture ends up being very respectful but on the other hand, individuality is stamped out and conformity is heavily encouraged and even enforced. this is a country that used to more or less force kids with naturally light hair to dye their hair black until somewhat recently. now they have to get a doctor's note proving that their hair is naturally brown. it all just depends on whether you're ok with trading in some personal freedom in exchange for a well oiled machine of a society. and i honestly wouldn't blame you if you did. japan is a beautiful country. super clean, polite people (even if only out of courtesy), fantastic service even at fast food areas.

I'm an American and 2 of the things listed here completely tick me off too. The first is people being late, which I developed from my mother almost always being late by hours when i was growing up. Nothing better than waiting on the curb for 2 hours cause mom said "she'd pick me up after school," and the one day I got fed up she was just getting ready to leave when I got home. The second is people who just randomly stop in the middle of the path. It's like come on people the least you could do is move to the side, or move to a place where you can get out of traffic. You don't need all 5 of your family members to stop in the one exact chokepoint of the path and force other pedestrians into the street.

[@stephencruz885]

The worst are two or more people walking abreast on a sidewalk that is not wide enough for everyone and they expect you to step off the sidewalk to make way for all of them because no one will give you room to keep walking on the sidewalk. If you don't step out of their way, they will sometimes hit you with their arm as they go by especially if the person is obviously bigger than you are. This is actually a form of bullying by a stranger.

That I wanted to tell western people is “SPEAK Japanese as possible, so most of us will become more friendly.” Many Japanese people are scared of using English more than you may think, because most of them need not to usually. *sorry for my poor english.

[@Magusgulf]

Your English is great! If somebody ever makes fun of you for studying hard and trying, they're an idiot. I strongly recommend Westerners to learn arigato and oishii, but nothing else really. Not worth it. For a Westerner, it takes YEARS to speak decent Japanese, and around 5-10 years to master. And what are you going to do with that? It's not like Japanese companies hire non-Japanese except for starting positions. Sure, for your 10 years of hard work you get rewarded with insight into a very interesting culture. But the opportunity cost is really not worth it, you might as well become a doctor or an engineer. Seriously. (Your mileage may vary if you're a Westerner of Asian ancestry. I have a friend with Vietnamese parents that learned Japanese in a flash bc he already spoke Vietnamese, plus he doesn't get treated as a gaijin bc he doesn't stand out.) 要するに、観光客がマナーを守って、日本なんだから基本、日本語しか通じないと理解するのは当たり前です。在留外国人も一緒。でも日本語をマスターするには韓国人とかと違って、西洋人は5年から10年間かかります。カタコトでさえ1年間とか。西洋人にとって日本語学習は割りに合わないです。永住するのであれば話は別だが、一生よそもの扱いされる国に永住してもね…（言葉も外見も似ている東アジア人と違います。） 他の西洋人からあこがれられるけれど、自分からすれば無駄なスキルを極めただけです。あのトリビアの泉という番組で言っていたように。「人間は無用な知識が増えることで快感を覚えることができる唯一の動物である」

The amount of “quirky introverted weebs” in this comment section concerns me so much, just as a warning to you guys, as I’ve seen several people here say that Japan would be perfect and accepting of them, that Japan is a very xenophobic country. There is more nationalism and racism than you might think, so be wary of that. Another thing is that the schooling system and the work system are very different from what is displayed in anime and such. And no, it’s not like you will never have to speak to people, it’s just that the interactions there are typically more reserved and quick and efficient. But for those of you who respect the culture and the people, and are not deluded by your views and fantasies, I wish you safe travels and a good time if you go to Japan. - A part Japanese dude living in America Alright, so this comment kinda blew up, so I just want to say that by no means is Japan a bad place, I actually have been and it’s very nice if you know how to act.

I feel bad about squatting in public haha, I just came from Japan and I really struggled with finding a place to sit (there's like, almost no public benches?) and I'm chronically ill/experience chronic pain. There were a few times where I just had to sit down because my body couldn't take it anymore. I sat out of the way and kept to myself. I got clapped up pretty quick anyway for sitting down (lmao) but yeah cafes are the place to go. Luckily the dollar/yen exchange rate is favorable but having to pay to sit is an odd concept haha. Anyway if you're chronically ill, just be aware of that and include cafes in your budget. (The cafes are really good and you'll get to try cool new drinks, so, have fun!) I was late a few times to activities because I got lost on the train, but everyone was nice & understanding about it, especially if I apologize profusely and explain that we don't have trains where I'm from (true). Definitely allocate an extra, like, half-hour to an hour to get lost, especially if you're going through a bigger train station. The not-talking-to-strangers thing threw me off at first and I probably startled a few people on my first day, but just emulate the demeanor of people around you and you'll be good. Locate the ATM nearest your hotel (like in a 7/11 or familymart) and do a yen check before leaving for the day. Don't assume anywhere will take cash and keep a few thousand on hand every day.
