Is It Uncommon For Black People? - 10-04-2008, 04:00 AM
Ok so I am going to Japan (hopefully) with my school and I don't wanna go with just some weird kids from my school...so I asked my friend to go but she doesn't want to go because she's black and she said theres no black people in Japan! I mean is it really that uncommon for a black person to go to Japan? I really need someone I know and trust to be there with me because I would feel weird, but all my friends are black and don't care to see Japan like I do. IS IT REALLY THAT UNCOMMON FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO GO TO JAPAN?!?!

NO IT IS NOT D:

& there is already another thread like this that says so.


But to despair was to wish back for something already lost.
Or to prolong what was already unbearable.

Your friend is pretty naive. I'd suggest she not travel if she's going to be worried about something so trivial now a days.

It's not uncommon, though. I'm black myself, and have had some family say things like, "Don't they hate black people over there?" or "Aren't they prejudiced against black people over there?" It's mostly older relatives though. I can see why they would question it. It's worse enough blacks are considered a minority in the US, but in places like Japan, we're minorities amongst minorities, so if anything, it's a fear issue. Despite what some might say, I would still like to go someday. I've had an interest in Japan way too much for far too long (like Asia in general as a traveling destination).

If my older cousin can live in Thailand, which I admire him for, I can live in or visit Japan. Race be damned!
