Id like to open up a discussion regarding racism in Japan.
I have read a few replies here and there and of course seen various ones on websites, FB and YouTube. Personally I don't think racism is anywhere as bad as som have protrayed it to be. I think it's ignorance, culture and language barrier is the problem rather than the so called racism I read and hear about. Don't get me wrong, there are racism here, particularly against the Koreans and Chinese but this is a small minority and does not effect the majority of native English speaking foreigners here.
I have been subject to racism back home for a huge part of my life - receiving them and dishing them out - and so I know first hand what real racism is. The shit I read about here, in my opinion is not but I'm open to hearing what others think. If anything, this discussion may also open up and possibly teach some on when to consider something racism and when it's really not.
