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.

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.

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.

@Hikosaemon

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".

[BruceIno]

@Hikosaemon

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.

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".

[Vitasoia]

@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.

Humans are rotten. Through and through.

@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.

@MrHalohalo85 ... (continued). I live in Japan too: I realise individually, people are nice. But groupthink is important to the Japanese, and the masses are simply racist. 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 ignorant people's way of thinking.

[MrHalohalo85]

@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"...

[MrHalohalo85]

'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.
