i have a question to ask all those that are living in Japan
can anybody tell me how black ppl are perceived in Japan, all those who live in america know the history around black in the states, and yes throughout my 21 years of living from the time i was 6 to even know ive had my fair share of racism towards myself. i know there is racism throughout the world, im not worried about the rest of the world though, i would just like to know if even in japan is there a bit of prejudice towards african americans, or is it just the fact i am american...
anyways, this might sound like a stupid question, i know theres racism every but i just want to know what its like since i dont live there at all.
let me know, and BE REAL about it!

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Prejudice exists in every country, but Japan isn't like 1950s Alabama.
People may be curious so try not to get the wrong idea if someone glances over, its just because of all foreigners in Japan there aren't that many people of African heritage living there.
Also if you look at Japan's history compared to the us, Japan never had African slaves, or racial segregation.
And people of African heritage didn't first arrive in Japan until post-WW2.
So chill out man its alright
