I'm not against anything you say, in fact, I wish people here would behave the same towards foreigners as the Japanese. If there were a group who wanted to end permanent residency suffrage here... HA HA HA! They would be attacked by everybody!
I'm not sure if what you said about behaving like a Japanese and being accepted is true, but it would be great if it were. I hope Japan can resist Multiculturalsim.
The population of Korea doubled after the annexation and average life expectancy increased and Korean literacy increased from 10% to 65% of the population. Japan built all the railway and hospitals and many many schools in Korea and for the first 10 years Koreans lived tax free because they knew Koreans were poor and had difficulty paying. so you should include that next time you say Japan "mainly raped, looted and destroyed".
@Luisandcabreraz I live in Japan too: I realise individually, people are nice. But groupthink is important to the Japanese, and the masses are simply racist, and manipulate our presence here to their company/business needs without even accepting us as equals.. Believe me man, I'm talking from experience. BruceIno understands this too, so I told him that he doesn't need to defend or explain those people's way of thinking.
@Luisandcabreraz You misunderstood my response. I put question marks after his claim. meaning that I question the validity of his statement. Of course, the Japanese should not need a foreigner to die to prove themselves to them. Foreigners who even speak good Japanese are called abnormal or "hennagaijin"...

'if you behave properly'? only in your mind. foreigners are treated terribly here, whether or not they follow this culture or not, or lived here for a long time. so if a foreigner will die for japan, then the japanese will be happy?? What about the "`変な外人" label?
Many japanese people are xenophobic and racist; there is no need to sugarcoat the issue BruceIno. A hated foreigner is "favored" only because of that his/her MATERIAL USE to the sports team/business/organisation/school in question.
oh my fucking god!!!! do we REALLY need another discrimination video.
i seem to be the only smart person here. in EVERY country there are going to be people who are racist and discriminate. in australia there is discrimination, in america there is, in china there is, in...serbia there is..anywhere has racist people..you dont need to tell us about it. im gonna make an angry video about this one day.
I have to disagree somewhat with the point you make around 1 minute into the video. It's well known that "half"-kids often get discriminated in kindergartens and schools, even though they have been born in Japan and lived their entire life in Japan.
Another ex.: the vast amount of times I've been stopped by the police. In those situations, I did not stand out of the crowd in any way, except for the way I look. There were no "cultural expectations" that I broke. I was simply stopped for walking.
You are wrong! I'm going to Japan and make a video response about your video. No foreigners cannot be on Japanese people's side. That's totally impossible and no one will kiss you if you die for them. Even if you die for my country, I still will not kiss you so stop giving me that insane.
I´ve heard about Chinese and Korean people being discriminated in Japan before, but I can´t underestand why. I mean if somone is tall, blond and white then its a huge difference and japanese people might get scared, but china and corea? they´re basically neighburs. Why discriminate them?
@AliceHale93 Basically because of World War 2. It's mainly China and Korea who hold ill-will towards the Japanese because of their colonial occupation and what they did to our people, mainly raping, looting and destroying. One of the main reasons that Japan discriminates them is because they believe that these are Chinese and Korean falsifications or in general anti-Japanese propaganda.
@0hmyy0utubeusername So nationality isn't an important factor of discrimination in the Sumo world. The discrimination is occurred when the wrestler disgraces the honorable fighting spirit of Sumo. Because Sumo doesn't encourage violence. Btw However, frankly speaking, still some Japanese wanna see the scene which Japanese wrestlers win.
Actually Sadaharu Ou is Taiwanese, but surly he has gotten much respect from Japanese because of his sportsmanship. Same things can be said to Isao Harimoto and Shinjiro Hiyama. They keep their Korean nationality in Japan, but their sportsmanship and record are respected as well. Because they have been never rude to Japan and Japanese.
there are vicious sides to every culture. And plenty of dumb and ridiculous discriminatory blunders by groups and individuals alike, all over the world.
How about what is going on now in Sumo, what do you think about the one foreigner rule per stable regardless of nationality? I am very curious on you opinions about this, I would go as far as to make a video request about this.
@BruceIno help !!!we chinese are under attack in japan .they attacked the chinese schools and tourists.help!! im really worried about my brothers and sisters in japan.
@0hmyy0utubeusername In my opinion, some Japanese would say Sumo is a bit different to Baseball, because it's a national sport of Japan. I know there are folks who want a Japanese wrestler to be in the highest rank called Yokozuna. But, currently Yokozuna is a Mongolian who is called Hakuhou and he gets respect so far from Japanese. Because, his attitude towards Sumo is earnest and he is strong. I'm not sure he already grasped Japanese's heart or not though he has a good spirit.
@0hmyy0utubeusername On the contrast, former Yokozuna Asasyoryu who is Mongolian was criticized by many Japanese and had to quit, coz he is tough, but mentally, he was arrogant in many ways. Sumo is a sport to create people who have spirit, technique and physical. He lacked of spirit even though he won many times and he behaved as if he didn't care about the history of Sumo. So he was regarded as a black sheep. But, Hawaiian Wrestler Akebono was widely accepted to Japanese back in 90's from now.
Your examples of being discriminated even being Japanese dont involve racial discrimination so the comparisons are irrelevant. You say,"If you behave properly blah blah youll be accepted". Mr Oh was born in Japan actually and lived there most his life. But still you call him a "foreigner"-not the best word to describe an "accepted" person. That statement says alot about this topic. BTW Jordan is as American as apple pie and never seen as not due to being black. Very unworldly example there
The amount of change that Japan has undergone since the Meiji restoration is truly staggering. As you said in the first part, the social development seems to have been rather slower - which is not necessarily a bad thing.
It'll be interesting to see how the changing socio-economic forces, from an aging population and a dependency on immigration, change the society. It wasn't painless over here in the UK - and we had a lot more time to get used to it..
Of course the guy who brought that case, who had a perfectly legitimate point, is also known as a bit of a クレーマー who looks for these kinds of things to argue about. Unfortunately though, it is more often true that while people say they expect foreigners to learn culture and language and rules first, people who discriminate tend to discriminate without caring if in fact the foreigner being victimized understands and follows the rules or not.
True. I missed in my video the point you make. Vicious people can use anything to kick you out of the community, or discriminate in the first place, because "the rules" are not written nor are they made democratically. This is vicious side of Japan. I should have touched on this but I don't want people to be discouraged..
I think Oh supporters need to understand that he basically shamed Japan in order to keep the record "Taiwanese".
You mentioned the onsen case earlier by the way - the interesting thing about that case is that it was brought by a naturalized Japanese citizen who used to be American. He is white and he and his half Japanese children were turned away, even though he knew the rules for bathing, the owner applied the principle of "no non-Japanese".
Yes, Mr. Debito Arudo. And his Asian looking kid was admitted to the bath while white looking kid wasn't. This has to be a joke. I do not have any intention to defend the bath owner at all. It is the stupidest discrimination I've ever heard.
There is a famous sports incident where in a Cricket World Series final between the NZ and Australia back in the 1980s, NZ needed to hit the equivalent of a homerun off the final ball of the match, and so the Australians decided that instead of pitching the ball normally, they rolled it along the ground in what is called the "underarm incident". I think for Aussies, that is still considered one of the most shameful events in Australian history and people criticise the captain who did it.
Great talk and great examples. I avoid talking about these topics often because there are a lot of people looking for foreigners to target about these issues, but I used to support Daiei Hawks and stopped supporting them after the homerun thing. I mean, basically, the order to walk Rhodes was from Oh himself, and that taints him and the record.
I was a big fan of Hanshin Tigers and Randy Bass, so Oh's Giants was horrible to me. These incidents are on English Wekipedia but not on Japanese Wekipedia...wtf..
Secondly, I have learned a lot from your explanation. I must say that you have made the topic on discrimination very clear and I now can see why I am treated differently as a black female. By the way, your camera is very clear. What make is it? I would like to buy a similar one. Thanks.

Japanese professional baseball league also has "two (or three) foreigner per team" rule. It is very racistic and discrinimatory rule.
Make a video request. I will answer in a video as far as I can reason the motivation for such a rule.
