Watch this video about Japan's "profound racism" and tell me what you think about it.

I don't believe this video is representative of Japanese society in general. Naturally, as in most countries, there will be factions in Japan that advocate "racial purism", but the impression most foreign visitors to the country seem to have is that - as long as you make an honest effort to adapt to the Japanese culture and to observe its customs (and why wouldn't you? You're a guest, after all) - Japanese people will welcome you with open arms.
It should also be pointed out that the reason that foreigners who venture out alone (i.e. without the company of Japanese hosts/friends) in metropolitan Japan are sometimes barred from restaurants and other businesses often has nothing to do with racism and more to do with the persistent fear that they will not have enough knowledge of Japanese language and customs to cope on their own. Usually, this is also the case. ~annelie |

Me niether i think someone planted that video.
The pic added goes to the ones whose ideas are in a box, to the ones who don't give respect to the one who doesn't fit in that box, stereotying one as I am. You'll soon learn your mistake in not getting the chance, because of Your Error to get to know as others have gotten to know, love, respect, and appreciate me for who I am and not for what you aim to make me. あしゅり のえる |
