Whenever I was in japan, I had an excruciating experience at mcdonalds. They automatically assume that I would speak English. So I ordered a coke and fries in Japanese, but they had me repeat my order 20 billion times because they just couldn't believe I spoke fluent Japanese. And at the end they still had me point to what I wanted instead of taking my order --" but anywho, your hair looks great ^^
I don't think it's racist. They are just so shy. Heck here in Finland if we have a change, we don't sit next to each other so just think how hard it would be to sit next to a foreigner! Sometimes we even stand the whole bus ride just so we don't need to sit next to this other person. Yeah...
@fizzasia I'm a black male and I lived in Japan from 1998-2008 - 10 years straight. I did not encounter any form of racism even when bathing with Yakuza members.I DID encounter countless foreigners who couldn't understand the Japanese people or way of life.
They don't sit next to you because they can't ask you for permission in PERFECT English. You should motion for them to sit down and simply say " ii desu yo".
i want to fuck you, because because listen to me dont jump to conclusions yet , i want to fuck you becasue i think you're the most beautiful human female i ever saw in my life
I've only had that happen maybe once or twice I think , at least that I remember and that time I was wearing either my lolita outfit or wa lolita outfit so I just figured they were worried about sitting on it but people ending up sitting next to me anyway. Sometimes people do look (like from the other side not directly across ) at me a lot though.(in normal clothes)
@thisisntagoodname LOL keep tellin yoself that ya creepy little japanophile. Read cute asian girls comments. She like most japanese think westerners like her are creepy and pathetic lot for trying to go to there country, do what they, want and rip off japanese culture.
@Ameer18 You're not very nice! Not everyone who travels to Japan is a Japanophile, weeaboo, or any sort of obsessive person who wants to be Japanese.
I'm telling the creator of this video that Japanese people stare at things they don't see every day in their normal routine. Foreigners are just one of many things.
I didn't read ANYONE'S comments here because I didn't care to. I'm not into Asian girls, or even girls period. I'm gay. :3
You totally hit the nail on the head ~ I'm definitely going to make an UPDATE video to this one seeing as I made this video when I was very new to Japan ~ As for those losers below ~ Don't even bother haha I don't even read what they write anyway :D
@fizzasia thisisntagoodname is right, but the Japanese are also known for their courtesy and their willingness to follow the rules, so maybe they did not want to break the rules because you were there, and it said clearly Gaijin on the seat.
I can't say i blame the japanese cuz it ain't that u a girl. U and most other white americunt japanophiles ive met are either annoying and creepy as fuck. So don't flatter yoself.
So the western scumbags still continue on hurting Japanese huh, it seems they still not satisfied of killing over 500000 innocent Japanese with nuclear bomb while raping over 34000 Japanese.
Japanese Anime fans also hurt by the western scumbags who attempt to Cosplay Anime characters because they always fail on cosplaying Anime since those westerners born with deep set eyes, loooong nose, square face etc which are the opposite of Anime characters.
@ProudCutePureAsian Do you honestly think everyone here thinks like that? 1. How about pearl harbor when they attacked innocent island scapes in hawaii aw well as hospitals? Or all the chinese that were murdered. or the 6 million jewish people that died?
You think everyone is a scumbag because of their forefathers mistakes or failures?
Of course it is not only american but also canadian, british, italian and other westerners who turn as scumbags by showing how they are ashamed of their race by trying to act, look and the most worse one claim as Asian.
Did you see how angry they are when they are and try to find all kind of excuse nonsense when told they are the one who massacres over 500000 innocent Japanese using nuclear weapon and doing other crimes to Japanese to this day?
@ProudCutePureAsian well as far as massacres during ww2 japan and the west are both guilty of that but yeah it pisses me off to no end how western whites think its ok to go into other peoples countries and do what they want and that they think its ok to steal other races cultural identity like these white japanophiles. Its the same with black folk here in the US. These wiggers rip off our culture and expect black people to be fine with it.
In WW2 Japanese attack american military base fulls of american army while american attack Japanese cities fulls of Japanese civilians, also Chinese are not american so american can't use them as excuse to nuke Japan.
Anyway I laugh and pity any westerner who believe or maybe make self-believe that Japanese love them because in reality most Japanese hate westerners, for example look for "no foreigner sign" in Japan which actually directed at westerners.
@ProudCutePureAsian it still does not justify what japan did and the bataan death march was a massacre and the american civillians on guam were all massacred by japan when they occupied it. Whats past is past. You can't deny that japan diddn't have as much blood on its hands then the next country that fought in ww 2. What matters now is getting through to all these pathetic japanophiles who think its ok to steal japans culture. did u get my message i sent u?
@ProudCutePureAsian i didnt bomb any countries.... hell unless im an immortal with memory loss, i dont think i was even born back then, much less take part in bombing a country. anyone who blames or an individual for the acts of their government is a douchebag. you cant choose where you,re born, you can only control what YOU do. my point is, no one CAN blame me for something i didnt do, not with any justifiable reason anyway.
Every Halloween in Japan ignorant foreign pricks (usually Americans) cause trouble on the trains because they think they have a right to "celebrate" a custom that has nothing to do with Japan. So it's no surprise that Japanese people try to avoid anyone in a costume on Halloween.
No offence ! Asians almost void of arm pit odor and can pick up this difference in instance but another thing is that if U R so cute that, specially, male counterparts would feel anxious. It would make sense to stand up and observe U from advantage points. I don't know about females in Japan why...? Being very attractive and long legged make a lot of comparative inferiority about their physical appearance to them.
ooo, you're japanese?? i'm planning to visit japan, but not staying and living or whatever, just to travel, see the sights, i hope nobody comes to my ear with a loudspeaker going "WHITOOO PIGOO GOO HOOOME!"
The Japanese people are a kind of "closed group". If you are not as Japanese, you are Gaijin - "wierd". The Japanese are very "group" oriented by nature. If you watch youth behaving in rebellious ways - they do it in groups. Don't feel bad. You are not Japanese, and you never will be. It is natural for a small island nation who is surrounded by enemies (from centuries of warfare) to bond together excessively. "They" are all they have. A giant clan.
Judging by Japanese porn, Japanese guys like to do surprise bukakees on women in public and the local women are probably used to it and they don't want to do it on a foreign woman.
@grayshorts Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
Love it or hate it, it is actually a typical racist reaction born out of ignorance. I currently live in japan and have noticed that since day one. I did an experement with a japanese friend. they sat next to him. but did not set next to me nor the other five internationals who happend to be my class mates. It doesn't bother me that much but atleast it tells me those people can be delt with if you sound very assured and intemidating. A New York City mentality with get you anything in japan.
I remember when I went to disney world. This japanese guy kept stalking me, like he sat next to me on those little bullety train things, and got on every ride I got on, sitting either w/ or behind me, and I was just like wha tha fuck? Like this went on for five days cuz we had the same hotel o.o and he jusy waited at the breakfast buffet till I ate n left and he just kept on stalkin. He was cute tho, shoulda chatted him up :3
lol that's funny ~ But it went on for 5 days without either of you saying anything? ~ yeah, if he wasn't creepy you should have talked to him ~ Japanese guys tend to wait for you to make the first move haha
I think its because people in Japan are afraid of foreigners not knowing what kind of person you may be..... if I saw an empty seat next to you, I would sit in a heart beat, and even start a conversation. I know this because I am a Japanese living in the US. I would want to make good close foreign friends if I ever went back.
they avoid sitting next to you because they´re scared you gonna start speaking english,really: that´s all (especially when they´re older then 20). Japanese are not more racist then other people. their not used to having people-who-are-ethnically-diffrent around so they may behave weird, but... to simply call this "racism" is quite hard.....
as for old people: in my homecountry it is a matter of course to offer youre seat to elderly people (or a pregnant woman)
I was in Tokyo this summer 2011 and never experienced it, and I can be intimidating looking, tall guy with short shaven hair and leather boots.(Shibuya 109 fashion) I was riding the train a lot and people did sit next to me, even small children (4-5yrs old)
In reply to your request. I have spent time in Japan, have encountered racism, and it never bothered me in the slightest. Why should it? If they don't wish to have a foreigner in their bar / restaurant, it's their choice, just move on to the next one.Lot's of foreigners bitch about it,and I have no idea why. Chatted up a Japanese girl at every single opportunity.Lot's of 'misses', but also lots of success. Of course, if one cannot stand rejection, then it's a different story. Never bothered me.
It's called racism/nationalism - duh! It exists in every country. I am going to assume these have been mostly older adults that avoided sitting next to you - right? Had you read your history books before visiting (living) Japan you will have found there history is replete with racism.
whats a white canadian doing in japan, get out of thier and livesome where sane as japan is not a good country and its a place of boxes and they are all about conforming get out now get back to the second biggest country in the world canada that has more oil reserves than the rest of the world and marry a white guy as 6% of the worlds population is white it will give your kids an advantage over the other 94% yellow brown ones because they will be exotic dont go close to japs as they kill whales.
I lived in Tokio for 15 yrs and got stared at most of the time in the tubes.. Kind of liked the idea of people not sitting next me though as it gave me more sitting room. If I saw a space next to you, I would definitely have taken it, then found it difficult to speak.. Perhaps, if they were guys, they were just shy of getting too excited by the possibility of such a pretty girl sitting next to them... Could this be the Buddhist influence against 'passion'?
Being a 6'2 Dominican male noone comes near within a 30 mile radius besides my host family and friends. I have run into that situation all the time in okinawa and it is a bit discouraging but if you put on a smile isomeone eventually sits.
How is your appearance when people avoid you on the train? Is it different than usual? A few years ago when I had my head half shaved, usually wore black leather jackets, bondage pants, huge black engineer boots and heavy dark make-up....I was a avoided a LOT more on the train.
I've never had anyone avoid me when I was wearing a business suit, though.
Another thing that happens to me is that the elderly tend to expect ME to be the first one to hop up and offer them a seat, which is funny...
I feel like my appearance isn't too out of the ordinary ~ Especially since i incorporate ordinary, everyday Japanese styles into my looks ~ Which could also make me look even more strange i guess ~
I did make this video really early on in my life i in japan ~ As I lived there longer I started to realize it happening less and less ~ i think I should make an UPDATE video on this subject since it's seems to be rather popular ~
@fizzasia Good idea! Have you noticed any other train behavior?
I had an incident this summer in which an old lady actually THREW her drag bag at my legs, then muttered about me being disrespectful because I didn't immediately jump up and give her my seat. She immediately aimed for me since everyone else around me was pretending to be asleep probably in order to avoid giving up their seats c_c;
@milkjamjuice I have definitely noticed how older people seem to just expect themselves to be put before anyone else ~ I notice them push and shove roughly for seats and cut in front of people in the lines for the trains ~ I did, however, have a VERY elderly Japanese man standing next to my seat ~ I started to stand up and offer him to sit and he smiled and put his hand over mine to lightly push me back down and said 'It's alright, I'm still young ~ I can stand' ~ It made me smile all day ~:)
@fizzasia I guess it depends, as different cultures definitely respect ( mine definitely does ) their elders a LOT more than say for example, North American cultures.
More common to see 3 generations under one roof in those cultures too, so you sort of get used to the "Give Way" to the elderly rather "than get outta my way n get in your rest home you CRAZY CHOOK ! "
Love the story about the older man you went to offer the seat for . I like his " i'm still young" attitude :)
@milkjamjuice Well, in Asia as a whole, respect for elders is more important than just about anything else. That might possibly be why they expect you to move yourself and let them sit down considering you're younger than them. You as a 20-50 year old can stand longer than a 60-80 year old. If you cannot respect their culture, you shouldn't even be in their country.
@therealcazine That's not my point. My point was that, it seemed to me, that the elderly here had come to expect foreigners to be the first ones to give up their seats because regular Japanese people ignored them. To be completely honest, whenever I see someone giving up a seat, 60% of the time that person is a foreigner. That's a wildly unbalanced percentage taking into consideration foreigners only make up about 2% of the population here.
5) think about how easy you could fuck someone up the ass by claiming someone touched you
6) even females do this because....they do not want to be rude and not talk to you. But at the same time. They really rather avoid awkward moments with a gaijin that doesn not speak japanese for shit. Thus in most cases they just rather not make you feel bad...plus they feel awkward 2
It happens to me all the time but I'm a large guy with a beard. Beards terrify Japanese people. I'm actually happy to have the extra space, so please continue not sitting next to me Japanese people. Thanks :P
@ShiningXWinds This is probably the real reason! Especially that they assume that foreigners speech English and that they don't pronounce it perfectly.
I didn't have any extra space on the train when i was there but this cute 12 year old girl was staring at me and was super happy when I waved lol, the kids there are too cute!
I don't think that they're racists. I think that it's just b/c their nervous and not use to seeing foreigners. Plus, it'll probably be hard for them to communicate since they don't know English all to well or other languages besides Japanese. Don't be too bugged by it ;D
Hahaha, when I went to Japan I would say it was about a 75% chance they would sit next to me, but yeah, there was those few times that they would just leave it and I would feel awkward. But then again, I felt awkward sitting next to a Japanese person on the Shinkansen, kinda felt like I was crowding them - so maybe its the same?
Mayby they kept their distance because you were farting? No but seriously i also notice this when i was in Japan. The only one who had the guts were the older people, i gues they rather risk their life sitting next to me then to stand.
i think its because a lot of japanese people now how much of a whore most american girls are so yup. oh yeah i hate americans and it make me sick cause i am an american. but discusting humans these day are hard to avoyed. and japanese people do have troble believing otherwise.so yup
@MegaZaraki11 So only girls are whores? Guys can sleep around if they want to? Damn, thought this was 2011 not 1200 or whatever... and just because you're white and in Japan, doesn't mean you're American or act in any way like an American(not that they are all the same).
@fizzasia All weeaboos are bad in some degrees, some are worse then other because they are basically obsessed with Japan and tries to be Japanese... I like Japan and everything but I don't try be Japanese I accept who I am and that I can't be any more different then who I am. Weeaboos do quite the opposite
Ha ha i know I was only joking ~ i do incorporate some Japanese styles into my everyday looks but my everyday mannerisms are far from Japanese ~ But if that makes me a Weeaboo then Ok :)
I'm also a Canadian LIving near tokyo my whole life (24 years) and I haven't had that train experience. If the train is actually crowded people have no problems with sitting next to me. It's not a racist thing, It's just that some people feel uncomfortable and don't know how to behave around Gaijin, I think. But If you dress and behave Japanese people don't care. It's sometimes easy to intimidate people with "Gainjin-ness" IMO
Well I've studied in Kyoto (which was from April 2010 till the end of August 2010 btw). During that time I also took the subway a lot and the train between Kyoto and Osaka a few times. But I've barely ever got the "gaijin seat" treatment, especially in Kyoto they're really used to foreigners, so in their mind you're "just another foreigner" (which is a good thing imo). Though i remember that my friend who studied in Osaka did complain about being treated like that, so it really depends i guess.
Its funny how white Americans do not notice how racist they are against foreigners. I study in New York for 5 years I am a clean cut male Hispanic but I ask my self the same question you ask in Japan. Do I stink? Do I look threatening? Mmmmm I distinctly remember how Americans prefer to cross the street before crossing my path. The opposite happen to me in Canada people there were so nice to me. My home town is a magnet for tourist and I for one welcome Canadians with open arms not Americans...
Canadians tend to be the exception to the rule when it comes to english speaking countries, but generally, anglo countries like America or Australia have historically been extremely racist. Think about it, their countries were founded on the wholesale genocide of thousands of people. America will always choose a new enemy, first it was the germans, then japanese, then koreans, then vietnamese, then russians, now it's the hispanics and chinese.
@takadi Such bullshit, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about kid. The Germans, Japanese and Koreans all attacked us or our allies. I live in L.A. where there are millions of foreigners from hundreds of countries. Don't see that in Asia, do you? So who's the racist, moron?
im black so i know whats gone happend when i get there.

There's a few reasons they do it:

2. Not only do they think you'll want to start conversation, you'll want to speak to them in English! They can't speak English. =<
But really, it's probably because you're something different. A mentally challenged Japanese guy got more attention on a train than I did one day.

Judging by Japanese porn, Japanese guys like to do surprise bukakees on women in public and the local women are probably used to it and they don't want to do it on a foreign woman.

@grayshorts Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.

Love it or hate it, it is actually a typical racist reaction born out of ignorance. I currently live in japan and have noticed that since day one. I did an experement with a japanese friend. they sat next to him. but did not set next to me nor the other five internationals who happend to be my class mates. It doesn't bother me that much but atleast it tells me those people can be delt with if you sound very assured and intemidating. A New York City mentality with get you anything in japan.

I remember when I went to disney world. This japanese guy kept stalking me, like he sat next to me on those little bullety train things, and got on every ride I got on, sitting either w/ or behind me, and I was just like wha tha fuck? Like this went on for five days cuz we had the same hotel o.o and he jusy waited at the breakfast buffet till I ate n left and he just kept on stalkin. He was cute tho, shoulda chatted him up :3

Actually the real reason is flattering.
Men fear the rejection they believe comes with an apparently unachievable beauty ...
And, women are not only jealous, but they fear their inadequacies will be highlighted by comparison ...
So, rather than worry - take pride in the power you exude.

they avoid sitting next to you because they´re scared you gonna start speaking english,really: that´s all (especially when they´re older then 20). Japanese are not more racist then other people. their not used to having people-who-are-ethnically-diffrent around so they may behave weird, but... to simply call this "racism" is quite hard.....
as for old people: in my homecountry it is a matter of course to offer youre seat to elderly people (or a pregnant woman)

In reply to your request. I have spent time in Japan, have encountered racism, and it never bothered me in the slightest. Why should it? If they don't wish to have a foreigner in their bar / restaurant, it's their choice, just move on to the next one.Lot's of foreigners bitch about it,and I have no idea why. Chatted up a Japanese girl at every single opportunity.Lot's of 'misses', but also lots of success. Of course, if one cannot stand rejection, then it's a different story. Never bothered me.

I'm quite late to answer you, but anyway...
I have lived in Tokyo in 2006-2007.
I never got this problem.
I don't know exactly if it's a race thing. As for me, I'm white, blue eyes, a bit blonde.
They weren't happy neither angry to see me.
Most of them didn't care about me, or anyone else, actually.
But I'm rather worried when I see the increasing number of videos of foreigners in Japan complaining about racism.
I'm going back to Japan(Fukuoka) in 2012, and I hope they haven't changed...

I lived in Tokio for 15 yrs and got stared at most of the time in the tubes.. Kind of liked the idea of people not sitting next me though as it gave me more sitting room. If I saw a space next to you, I would definitely have taken it, then found it difficult to speak.. Perhaps, if they were guys, they were just shy of getting too excited by the possibility of such a pretty girl sitting next to them... Could this be the Buddhist influence against 'passion'?

How is your appearance when people avoid you on the train? Is it different than usual? A few years ago when I had my head half shaved, usually wore black leather jackets, bondage pants, huge black engineer boots and heavy dark make-up....I was a avoided a LOT more on the train.
I've never had anyone avoid me when I was wearing a business suit, though.
Another thing that happens to me is that the elderly tend to expect ME to be the first one to hop up and offer them a seat, which is funny...

@fizzasia Good idea! Have you noticed any other train behavior?
I had an incident this summer in which an old lady actually THREW her drag bag at my legs, then muttered about me being disrespectful because I didn't immediately jump up and give her my seat. She immediately aimed for me since everyone else around me was pretending to be asleep probably in order to avoid giving up their seats c_c;
milkjamjuice 3 months ago
@milkjamjuice I have definitely noticed how older people seem to just expect themselves to be put before anyone else ~ I notice them push and shove roughly for seats and cut in front of people in the lines for the trains ~ I did, however, have a VERY elderly Japanese man standing next to my seat ~ I started to stand up and offer him to sit and he smiled and put his hand over mine to lightly push me back down and said 'It's alright, I'm still young ~ I can stand' ~ It made me smile all day ~:)
fizzasia 3 months ago 34
@fizzasia I guess it depends, as different cultures definitely respect ( mine definitely does ) their elders a LOT more than say for example, North American cultures.
More common to see 3 generations under one roof in those cultures too, so you sort of get used to the "Give Way" to the elderly rather "than get outta my way n get in your rest home you CRAZY CHOOK ! "
Love the story about the older man you went to offer the seat for . I like his " i'm still young" attitude :)

SuperDrRockzo 2 months ago
@milkjamjuice Well, in Asia as a whole, respect for elders is more important than just about anything else. That might possibly be why they expect you to move yourself and let them sit down considering you're younger than them. You as a 20-50 year old can stand longer than a 60-80 year old. If you cannot respect their culture, you shouldn't even be in their country.
therealcazine 3 months ago
@therealcazine That's not my point. My point was that, it seemed to me, that the elderly here had come to expect foreigners to be the first ones to give up their seats because regular Japanese people ignored them. To be completely honest, whenever I see someone giving up a seat, 60% of the time that person is a foreigner. That's a wildly unbalanced percentage taking into consideration foreigners only make up about 2% of the population here.

1) you are female
2) you have this happen, because you are female
3) you are a foreigner and female
4) molesters are common
5) think about how easy you could fuck someone up the ass by claiming someone touched you
6) even females do this because....they do not want to be rude and not talk to you. But at the same time. They really rather avoid awkward moments with a gaijin that doesn not speak japanese for shit. Thus in most cases they just rather not make you feel bad...plus they feel awkward 2

I'm also a Canadian LIving near tokyo my whole life (24 years) and I haven't had that train experience. If the train is actually crowded people have no problems with sitting next to me. It's not a racist thing, It's just that some people feel uncomfortable and don't know how to behave around Gaijin, I think. But If you dress and behave Japanese people don't care. It's sometimes easy to intimidate people with "Gainjin-ness" IMO

Well I've studied in Kyoto (which was from April 2010 till the end of August 2010 btw). During that time I also took the subway a lot and the train between Kyoto and Osaka a few times. But I've barely ever got the "gaijin seat" treatment, especially in Kyoto they're really used to foreigners, so in their mind you're "just another foreigner" (which is a good thing imo). Though i remember that my friend who studied in Osaka did complain about being treated like that, so it really depends i guess.
