Video Response: To BobbyJudo's Living In Japan As A Foreigner

Sorry for the choppy video. I had 17 minutes of video that I had to cut into 10. I didn't touch on everything as well as I would have liked, and so on. I didn't touch on many discrimination topics as I couldn't fit them in. I also didn't talk much about other foreigners such as Korean's because I also couldn't fit it in.

Thanks to BobbyJudo for starting such a constructive and insightful discussion. It was great to watch the videos of other foreigner youtubers living in Japan, as well as Hiroko's videos for a Japanese perspective.

I'll continue further discussion in the comments.

of course crackers like you would complain. Basically you crackers want to kill all japs and put white people there. Would you crackers be happy then? or will you complain about all the dead japs?

[RisuMiso]

@heythia Your lack of intelligence pains me. You think you sound tough, but you really just sound like a complete moron.

Its crazy how someones opinion can change so drastically in such a short amount of time. In this video at around 0:32 you say that you will most likely live the rest of your life in japan and only visit Canada, but in your latest videos it's the complete opposite, you have moved back to Canada and say that you will most likely never live in Japan again, only visit. I'm not saying this is bad but just that it's slightly shocking.

@fuzetsu490 I suppose one should never say never :p

I never had any plans on moving back to Canada, but I got a job offer that would have been pretty much stupid to refuse. I was also starting to hate being an English teacher.

Except that Canadians mix and racism is illegal. Also compare the rights of minorities (ethnic, linguistic, religious, and sexual) in Japan and Canada.

[RisuMiso]

@ericclaptonismygod31 You are right, Canada is light-years ahead of Japan when it comes to multiculturalism.

[astmapiippu]

Multiculturalism does not work. Even European top politicians are now admitting it. You cant have people living in same country with different cultures and rules.

I think biggest problem at the moment is Islam. At least in Europe that is true. They will not make any compromises. I live in Finland and people here are really getting tired with muslims. Other immigrants dont have any problems. For example Asians dont have any problems here because they respect local people and local culture.

[soccermomization]

no one in the west buys into the multiculturalism crap that was shoved down our throats. america was pioneered and conquered by white people. this social engineering crap is temporary and revolting.

[fuzetsu490]

@RisuMiso Makes sense, declining a great job offer would be hard no matter how much you loved where you lived especially if you hated your job at the time. Your job is such a big part of your life, its important to do something you enjoy :D welcome home from Ottawa then :P

[Anzwerz142]

In my opinion you should upload the parts you cut out!

I am really interested on the topics you didn't touch upon especially the Koreans living in Japan.

I am half japanese. My dad is australian, mum; japanese.

I've lived in Australia and Japan so I'm fluent in both languages. Right now, i go to a kou-kou in gifu. but do i fit in? That is debatable. I say no.. i FEEL, no.

but when im at my high school in austrlia, do i fit in? No, i dont feel so..

ofcourse, i feel safe where i am, not many people are judgemental, and i've come to prove everyone that i have pride, ideas.. and most of all.. independant.
