Nowhere did anyone suggest your problems are not problems.
like this?
"Yes, it's hard to get by in Japan as a foreigner in a lot of cases, but so what?"
Yeah, so what? My problems are just "mildly annoying reverse racism", right?
"the real discriminated gaijin are the non-white foreigners"
Oh, it must be "virtual"?
"I'd re-up on white every damn time."
Unless of course I happened to be a permanent employee in a Japanese company.
"Micro-aggressions are annoying (I do internally roll my eyes when people ask if I can use hashi), but that kind of ignorant racism really only seems to have a lasting effect on people who insist on trying to fully integrate"
Thanks for that qualification at the end. No, actually I mean fuck off.
That's your biggest issue in life? お箸ができますか?Maybe you should say 猿も餌を食べられる。Or maybe you should carry a fork around with you. Fuck you. Some off us have real issues here that go beyond your issues in some Azabu restaurant.
Until you have committed a significant part of your life to Japan, fuck off.
Fuck you.
Oh, Meji? Fuck you too.
I think his point is that while a paper cut and a femoral artery laceration are both bleeding, one might be slightly more egregious than the other. We should probably take the same approach to racist injustices that doctors take to triage: worst injuries get the most attention
Argument from Relative Deprivation is a fallacy.
Don't use use terms you don't understand, ie both of them. Seriously, this is the dumbest thing you've said, which is quite an accomplishment. Think about what "relative" means you ignorant bigot. Yes, "bigot", or maybe I mean "cunt".
But in the grand scheme of things, an article like the Japan Times article about "gotcha" problems foreigners face in Japan might do well to be a little more self aware about problems beyond "white guy problems".
Even allowing for the fact that English might not be your first language, that is meaningless bullshit.
The example that annoyed me most from that article was the poor guy whose in-laws berated him for going back to school. On full pay. After serving in the Navy for 20 YEARS.
This seems to be a contrast to what you said before. Maybe try to explain what you are talking about.
By the way. Meji: fuck you. With a fence post, wrapped in barb wire.
Am I angry? Yes.
Fuck you TheDutchElm, and fuck you Meji.
Cunts.
