Racism in Japan

Racism in Japan, far less than in America and Canada.

In the west we have racist stereotypes, jokes, words, chants, hate crimes, hate groups, areas where you can't go without having people call you names or even worse...

In Japan you will be relieved to know you won't find all that. There are no racist words in Japanese. If you're a foreigner, you're a foreigner, it doesn't matter your race. You will be starred at (of course). You might have people shy around you. You might get strange questions or stereotypes. But nothing as harmful or racist compared to the amount of racism in the west.

Koreans are idiots, they always put hate comments on any Japanese-related movies on Youtube. They also do not understand that those acts they do daily will be despised by the world.

@superchappy1001 Are you trying to show you dislike racism....by showing more racism? :S 意味分からない。 How about instead of spending time boiling in your racist cave, you come out and enjoy life like the rest of us.

She should mention that it's "Extremely less" because Canada and the U.S are significantly more diverse and it's easier to call out racism here. It would've also been more conductive if she mentioned the heavy discrimination against 'ethnic' Koreans, and the Ainu people.

@ladyjosephinelover 。Thats not the reason why.　'smaller' more white towns, are more racist. The west has a history of racism towards other people, which is why its so strong today. As for koreans, 'heavy discrimination'?? Yes, We hate them so much, that we LOVE korean drama and K-pop stars....

assuming she's even 18

@mattj916 ...What does being 18 have to do with getting periods again?

[kanadajin3]

@niefanx . I have never met someone who hated forigners. I also know foringers who are 'less fortunate' in the looks department, they don't get bothered either. I also have gaijin friends of other races, which are so happy to come to Japan, because they experience far less racism and ignorance as they did in the west.

★So called "Koreans and the Ainu discrimination" is a fake story made up by anti-Japan Korean. First of all, 100% Ainu people doesn't exist anymore. and ★so called "present Ainu people" is a Korean who pretend to be a Ainu. Koreans claim these kind of "Fake Japanese discrimination" that have never existed in order to get money and political power. ★Koreans are doing "Discrimination Business". and ★All pure Japanese have a Ainu blood. Please remember it

@counterstrikewow 外国はもっともっと閉鎖的ですよ 日本ほどオープンな国はありません。 欧州はもちろんのこと、アメリカですら、その自由の国というイメ­ージと違い、実際には日本より、はるかに不自由な社会です。 ★日本では、日本の文化や習慣を尊重しルールを守って生活すれば­、どこの国の人間でも 受け入れられますが、外国では、それに加えて宗教や人種や学歴や­階級や出自・・・なども 気に入られなければ受け入れられることはありません。 それほど自由で制約がないからこそ、日本の文化は奥が深く多様的­で 外国で非常な人気を博しているのです。 反日マスコミの垂れ流すウソに騙されないようお願い致します。
