Hi.
Could you correct my English?
“ABO Blood Group System”
Many Japanese people like talking about their ABO blood group. They often ask their blood types each other, and say that people with blood type A are punctual, people with B do things at their own pace, people with O are generous and careless, and people with AB are of artistic temperament.
We know that judging people from their blood types is nonsense because there are many blood group systems and ABO is nothing more than one of them. Still, we enjoy talking about blood groups or having a guessing game of each blood type. It’s a very general and casual topic to open a line of communication.
Now, I’ve heard that Western people see a blood type very personal and asking it rude, so they would be angry when they are asked their blood types. (Is this true?)
Japanese people don’t see why Western people keep their blood types in secrecy. Me neither. Can you explain?
Thank you.
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
