good lord... your gona base japans views on black people on a Tv Show?

sorry to be rude but that was jus ... wow....

i jus find that a very horrible reference.

if you can find me a news report of black people causing trouble in japan, go ahead and post it.

but a tv show or novel? common now.

Since my time in japan i've never ran into any one who hated black people or prejudice against them.

or any people of ANY race.

gettin sick of posts like
" i dunno if i wana go to japan cuz im *insert race here*"

Japanese are very polite people.
there are VERY few places i know that are Japanese only.
such as a few onsens and whatnot
and i cant even go into onsens cuz of my inkwork.

If you've checked out the serie Hana Yori Dango you'll see how over-dramatizing it is so I found it annoying that all the bad guys who wanted to beat and rob the characters of the show just "happened" to be black. But then again most of the "bad guys" are actually girls who have are inlove with the main character, hah

But you're right, I haven't met any japanese people so if they have prejudice against any race at all, I wouldn't know.

american tv portrays blacks in a horrible light.

its just all media bs

trust me theres tons of tourists who come here every year, no one outright starts any trouble b/c your a certain race.

Just come visit and enjoy this lovely country

Hello again - 08-20-2007, 10:10 PM

KONNICHIWA MINNA

I understand that I may have tipped some of you with my strong wording regarding me wanting to go to Japan and HOUSETEK I have to agree with you, your strong views (as well as everyone else's) has capured my attention and given me the courage to continue pursuing a trip up there.

It doesen't matter what race one is, EVERYONE should at least experience japan once, It's culture has inspired me to at least go take a visit and I encourage everyone on this thread too.

Ja Mata Ne MIINA!

I have studied up on Japan ready for when I go there, Its seems that as long as you don't make a complete joke out of yourself and don't be rude to anyone then your ok, it will pretty much be exactly like you'r expected to behave back home. Although I have read somewhere and been told by travel agents that don't worry if you get some wording wrong "if" you try to speak some japanese as they will be happy that you at least tried it and they said that Japanese citizens don't tend to show much emotion in public.......can anyone tell me if this is true or not??

I'm happy you did some backgrounding (I'm really encouraged) Yet I don't know if they show emotion at all, I'll just have to go to Japan to find out.

(Slowly but surely I'm on my way)
