Korean Deliveries not accepting me.

After calling like 10 different korean deliveries today and being refused by everyone of them. I wonder if I should change my strategy. When they ask my nationality (because they recognize that my Japanese is not native), I always say the truth. I say I am from France. What is strange is that I've been accepted before to korean deliveries by telling them my nationality.
So what I wonder is: did they tighten the rules and don't accept foreigners anymore (in this case, shikataganai), or do they not accept certain specific nationalities, including France. If that is the latter, then my guess is that they don't accept French people because the ratio of colored people in the French diaspora of Tokyo is quite high, and they don't want to serve colored people but they don't dare to ask "are you black?" or "are you white?" because it is rude.
So I was thinking, maybe when they ask my nationality, I should just bluntly tell them that I am a Caucasian so that they may accept my money?

Other than that, if anyone who is a foreigner and was accepted in korean deliveries recently, can you tell me what nationality you told them you were, so I can say that next time.

I would try after next week. I think asking the race is a preference for the girl. Some may prefer a certain race based on their types they've encountered. If after next week and you still get the same results, you may have to find another solution.
 
I mean only one shop actually checked with the girls. The other ones straight up said no we don't take French people. Next time I will directly say I'm white and see what they say.
 
Maybe this is @Frenchy 's fault.:eek:

I don't understand one thing in that claim. Why did you feel the need to put the "maybe" in there?

We can be sure it's @Frenchy's fault. Now he comes here to say he has never been in any of these places. Dude, they have heard stories; that''s clearly more than enough to ban all Frenchies.

Nah, always say I’m Swiss. :D
 
Do these places ever bother to verify passports?

Even if they did they would probably know one from international driving permit.

Well, you could try pretending to be Canadian since some are French speakers and probably have the accent.

And nobody really hates Canada, except the current Chinese government since we arrested that Huawei exec....
 
When I wasn’t strict with my screening a self proclaimed “French expat” turned out to be 100% Japanese (No spoken English, TONS of personal questions and overall not a pleasant experience) so Lord knows what kind of experiences those girls had. Personally I’ve had nice experiences with (genuine) French gentlemen except this guy.

IMO, it’s a better idea to not push it any further if you are not welcome.

Yes, better to go for the real French quality, 100% origin certified , bio-dynamic and without additives, rather than those pale Japanese imitations. :)
(Seriously I wonder what kind of Japanese guy would even think about pretending to be French to contact an escort... must have been quite an interesting convo)

Is your Japanese at least enough to make the appointment? The only other factor I can think of is a lot of the Kgirls I've met in Japan actually speak better English than they speak Japanese, and the PO might assume you don't speak English well (which is a fairly silly proposition, but you never know).

I'll certainly admit to my privilege and say when I book with any deriheru org, I ask if "white guys from America are okay" for an appointment. I still think there's some kgirl shops that won't serve foreigners, especially if their Japanese isn't passable (mine is barely good enough to make an appointment).

Duterte, he was in the Philippines helping his brother with fishing for government contracts and happened to get introduced at a function.

Yes I can make an appointment no problem but they can still figure out that I'm not japanese especially because I tend to not be consistent with my politeness level (I switch from teinei to neutral, with some misplaced sonkeigo here and there so it sounds really odd).

I actually managed to book a girl today and she apparently was fine with foreigners. So I guess I ll keep using this shop or this girl until I get bored.

I avoid saying I'm black and just say American unless they specifically ask otherwise because I wouldn't want to deal with them otherwise. It's hard enough out here just getting from Point A to Point B for me to bend over because of something I have no control over.

Which shop was it? Did you ever try SyndRome?

They were the org that I booked with last time, and the girl was smoking hot and spoke good English. Their PO was super nice. Can't speak for all their girls, but eye candy and service does vary with k-girl orgs to be sure.
 
To tell you the truth, persistence pays.

If they turn you down today, that's fine. You can call and try again later on, no problem, and nothing wrong with that.

It really also depends if you are trying to book on rush hour or a slow day.. right time, right place, right mama-san, matters.
Some shops just don't want to do business with foreigners still, only japanese or other asians.. its just how it is, but if your Japanese is good enough sometimes they won't notice you're a foreigner. I think we really need a hero to write a little wiki on how to subtly pass off as a Japanese when making reservations by phone lol:whistle::oops:

Real story, there used to be a very popular shop that did not accept foreigners and always turned me away but magically one day I was suddenly given the OK.
So moral of the story is not all things are set in stone, and persistence pays. Things seem to be loosening up with more and more foreigners coming into the fray in Tokyo these days.. I've seen many shops in japan change their policies from no gaijin to gaijin ok because of the loss of potential profit.. all in all, money talks.

That being said.. im sure there are some asshole westerners who would fuck it all up for the rest of us.. for example.. be too rough, or steal, ect.. sometimes japanese do bad shit too, but if 1 westerner does something bad.. then the rest of us are fucked because of him.. so please guys, be gentlemen..
