/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

I've heard that the Japanese are extremely xenophobic, but is there any truth to that?

[Anonymous No.]

Pretty much. They hate foreigners, Americans in particular.

Word of advice: when you see one smiling and waving at you, they're probably laughing AT you.

[Anonymous No.]

They will hate you especially if you're white American or chink.

[Anonymous No.]

They despise Russians.

[Anonymous No.]

>when you see one smiling and waving at you, they're probably laughing AT you.

To be fair, this is the reaction of pretty much everyone that has to deal with /jp/-tier faggots.

[Anonymous No.]

They haet fat people like you they think your fatness will sink their land.

If you're white or black in Japan, you'll be treated like scum. If they know that you don't know the language (and chances are, it's apparent) they'll take full advantage of your ignorance by making fun of you knowing full well that you can't understand them.

Pretty much. I spent a year in Tokyo, and while no one gave me trouble or picked fights with me, there was very constant, subtle racism.

Just really subtle stuff. I was mostly ignored, of which I was thankful for anyway, and my nationality was mostly brought up as the butt of a few jokes by my classmates and even my teachers when I went to school there.

Imagine facing a guy that is a head taller than you, and -probably- doesn't speak your language.

That's what most Azn experience when facing Caucasian foreigner. You can't help feeling xenophobic.

As an 160cm Azn, I would be paranoid if I went into Europe or US where everyone is way taller than you. They might've been talking stuff behind my back you know.

If you aren't an Otaku, but a normal person, you will propably get accepted by anyone that's younger than 50. Treated differently, but not worse. Just differently.
But since you go to /jp/, you're fucked.

Funny thing is, my whole attitude towards Asians is the reverse of what you posted. I fucking hate chinks.

I've heard that the Germans are extremely xenophobic, but is there any truth to that? Something about a holocaust or something.

Azn acting paranoid towards gaijins = gaijins feels Azn being xenophobic towards them.

You need to make effort to get past the uncomfortable physical appearance differences. Learning the language, social customs, paying attention to what you wear or hairstyle might help.

Yes, but 4chan is shitty so it applies to /jp/

You'll be fine so long as you dance all the time and shout:

They'll accept you as one of their own, like the family pet.

- Old people and punkass kids talk about you openly, thinking that you don't know the language.
- Little kids stare/take pictures like you're a zoo animal.
- People walk to the other side of the street if they see you approaching.
- Girls giggle behind your back.

It's not a burning hate. You're just a weirdo to them, and they know you'll never fit in properly. I made good friends in Japan, and even got a long well with older people some times. It's just uncomfortable when you are traveling alone in the afternoon and the train is mostly open and everybody is eying you and you just want to sink into your seat and oh god. I mean, I already don't like attention in America, but it's unavoidable now.

Yeah, that's sort of how it is. You can't really blame people in particular when the country is so overwhelmingly homogeneous. They just don't have worldly knowledge to accommodate people from other countries because they don't interact with them to the same capacity that Americans or Europeans do. I'm OK with that too, since it preserves the country's unique flavor. Makes the place fun to visit but difficult to live in. But I don't have any plans to move to Japan anyway, so w/e.

Yeah, there is xenophobia. LIke in any country. But in Japan you find more hate towards gaijin living and working there, since japanese people want to stay a united, single ethnic group.

Probably just the middle age upward and so. Current generation doesn't have that much attachment to that, but might still be strong enough to be wary/amused of obvious gaijins.

Japan is a mono cultural society that's been isolated for most of its history. It's lead to a superiority complex that unless you were born in Japan you will never be a part of their culture. It's not overt racism like you might see in rural parts of the US, you'll just be treated like a tourist by the average Japanese, no matter how long you've been there. The best you can hope for is a kind of odd attraction that famous gaijin achieve in Japan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4954045

Protip: mixing different races and cultures makes things worse, not better. Just look at America with its communities and Europe with its muslims. People stay in tightly-knit communities and the more mixed people are the greater the rate of crime and violence. In America everyone stays in their little community, where it be blacks, Chinese, Russians, Spanish, etc.

Read about Dunbar's Number, or monkeyspheres. Multiculturalism and diversity are nothing but liberal lies, fueled by lofty idealogy.

Race doesn't exist in the first place until we make our little "societies". It's not something that can't be overcome I think. It's just going to take a long, long time. And the whole religion thing needs to go too, as it fucks things up.

I remember my brother asking my mom when he was younger "Mom, are we black". We are very caucasian.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4954241

Well, you just hit the nail right there. You have something to connect you with all the other people (church) but in scenarios where there is no mutual connection there is conflict, like in Europe.

Also, I noticed you conveniently left out black people.
