Have You Experienced Racism as a Foreigner in Japan?

great video take. i've visited japan twice and as a brown guy, ive never experienced racism. i've only visited tokyo, osaka and nara which have more tourism so maybe it is different in the countryside

殆どの方が日本で人種差別を感じたことは無いと仰っていましたね。私は日本人が外国人に無関心なだけなのだと思います。

Yes. I have a few times.

Generally racism in Asia is not the same type of racism in the West . Racism in the West is way more dangerous...

単一民族国家で起こりうる現象と差別の違いがわからない外国人が多いと思います。日本人がブルキナファソやガーナに行って現地人と違うように扱われたとしても、それをいちいち差別だのなんだの言わないですよね。

Racism is Asia is curiosity, surprise, and ignorance. Racism in the west is hate and violence.

It may feel like there isn't much racism in Japan until you look for a job that employs mainly (all) Japanese people or rent an apartment which rents to mainly (all) Japanese. Even people born in Japan who are Japanese native speakers will suffer discrimination based on their name only. They don't even need to see your face. Then unfortunately, there is a lot of bullying for children of mixed parents, especially if their parent is non white.

Try finding a place to rent on your own as a foreigner, you’ll see discrimination.

私は介護施設で働いていますが、10人ぐらいの外国の方が働いてくれています　皆んな勤勉で親切な印象を受けます。人手不足なので、彼らの存在はとても大きいと思います。

East Asia is one of the few regions that is still not yet infected by Woke BS and Brown & Muslim refugees..we need more countries to be like them.

After watching video about racism in korea, it seems japan good country to stay 😊

Yes , this guy got exact point .
I had experienced but I don’t give a fuck .
But I do respect Japanese . Only bad people do it.

Sir,racism exists in all races and cultures.
Foreigners should learn to tolerate it.
Foreigners should be grateful for being allowed to work in Japan.

As long as you work in subordinate positions, there are no issues. However, when you step into strategic roles and positions, you might begin to experience discrimination.

I never found a Bangladeshi who said anything bad about Japan. But they somehow complain about rest of the countries. Bangladeshi people usually hate the western culture, only reason they want to visit western countries for work and money. But somehow even Muslims from Bangladesh doesn't say anything bad about Japanese people. I don't know why? 😮

Polite.... but they don't mean it.

日本にとって最悪なのはイスラム教です。日本文化と日本という国において、イスラム教は日本人にとってのアンチテーゼ、災いの元、クリプトナイトのようなものです。観光に関しては、誰でも大歓迎です。しかし、長期滞在に関しては、イスラム教は絶対に日本では歓迎されないと思います。

As a person that never went to Japan, I watched some vídeos about the theme and I find some aspects to consider:
1. Smell - some foreigners may use a “lot” of parfum
2. Volume - some foreigners may speak too loud

And it may cause some reactions like avoiding foreigners.

I went to Thayland and I have 0 issues. Probably because I respect other people and their culture. For instance many tourists drink alcohol openly in muslin areas - a mistake that I avoided at all costs.

In some societies, people hide their intentions (and racism) with a layer of politeness. I think this is the case in Japan AFAIK

My friend there are plenty of channels of nice respectful foreigners who either moved there recently or have lived there for a decade or more who not only have documented the racism and discrimination, whether intentional or not, but have shown that even mixed japanese born citizens are ostracized and discriminated against. Not saying that all your people do it, but you need laws against it, its not good for mental health being ostracized and discriminated against, people commit suicide because of it and it keeps other people who have learned and integrated into the japanese culture from being financially successful. The only reason some people stay is because they have a good little nest of friends and family that are supportive they dont want to leave, and/or they are financially secure from prior ventures in prior countries. I appreciate your investigative efforts but you should look into these other channels of foreigner's talking about their experiences in Japan, it isn't all negative, some of them are pretty positive, and theyre nice when pointing out the negatives of being foreign. I have considered visiting but I want to go if I am to have people who truly want me there, so far, it doesn't seem that way. For now, I'll consider other countries to visit, I'm sorry.

this narrative needs to stop...the Japanese arent racist......they are xenophobic...its not about you , your race , your country....its that your NOT Japanese.....thats it.....

Usually they are the white who complain openly about racism in Japan. As many of Indians there mention “comparing to other countries, it’s less here”. Because the white come with their mentality like you will never be discriminated and be always welcomed by everyone in the world. Japan isn’t the case.

these people are lying because they dont want to get deported, such a sham

No racism in Japan. I would like to add that a foreginer will never feel part of Japanese community because of how Japanese people think. However, it is not racism 💛

He is afraid to say because immigration and police are watching.

なぜ白人には聞かないのですか？あまりフェアじゃない気がします
