Tenchu, when I explain the Japanese cultural perspective, it doesn't mean it is MY perspective. Just so we are clear.
And Japanese do understand there are tattoo cultures outside their own...very much so. I said that.
However, you are the owner of a public bath. Your public bath doesn't allow tattoos simply to keep yakuza baddies out. In walks a white guy with Muay Thai tattoos and says "I am not yakuza. I want to use your public bath." Do you let him in?
No. You do not. Because once word gets back to the local yakuza they let the white guy with tattoos in, the yakuza will be screaming "discrimination" and making a lot of unwanted noise.
It isn't racism or discrimination, but a desire to keep one's business from going bankrupt.

Yes, you're right. So, acknowledging this, why won't you accept Japanese are a bunch of racist ***** ****** ********** ********** ************ [many swear words]?
I'm guessing I'm at the stage where I could make a thread "10 reasons why you hate the Japanese".
I admired an ancient culture of Bushido and Samurai, but that's long gone. What's left today is a bunch of socially deprived men, perverted, morally corrupt (don't let me go into their porn realm), brainwashing (all of their business revolve around basic concepts of psychology that amount to brainwashing in order to sell more), and just plain racist people.
Sure, their food is good (once you pick the endangered species out). But I'm coming to find the bad outweighs the good, and they've a deep underlying social problems that retard themselves from the rest of the advanced world.
At first, they come off as a civilization mecca in the heart of Asia, but it seems they're far from it. Even as bad as Thailand.
