Die „Gaijin-Hara“ (Belästigung von Ausländern) der japanischen Regierung nimmt zu: „Die Medien haben ein wachsames Auge auf alle Arten von Belästigungen, von Belästigungen bei Mutterschaft bis hin zu „Nudelbelästigungen“ für das Schlürfen von Nudeln. Aber sie ignorieren „Belästigungen von Ausländern“ nicht nur, sie fördern sie sogar.“

    They’ve never cared about discrimination against foreigners. Why would they start now?

    TBH the nastiest looks i’ve got in Japan weren’t from the Japanese, but caucasian men.

    Even this evening I was walking back home from the gym with my girlfriend, and this caucasian dude gave me the gnarliest most evil stare i’ve ever seen.

    So the article says that requiring basic Japanese knowledge to get an engineering visa is the same thing as literal genocide?

    You know, it’s good to be against idiotic parties like Sanseito, but screaming like a little baby at every move the government does and calling everything “genocide” will just make everyone think you’re an entitled little kid and will validate the discourse of extremist parties even more. Japan doesn’t need the same phenomenon that happened in the west.

    First they came for the Koreans and I did not speak-because I was not Korean.
    Then they came for the Chinese and I did not speak out-because I was not Chinese.
    Then they came for all gaijin-and I am having trouble.

    For most part the eccentric ones/youtubers/influencers get media attention, that hypes up the hate, then it gets transferred to average Joe english tutor, who came by for the love of anime, in a way country has flooded overpopulation of English tutors and immigration, it needs tourists not immigrants, so does mostly every country in the world

    Hence there won’t be any country free of racism, even the immigrant’s own native homeland would be rasict to other immigrants/religious/economics group, Japan isn’t an exception

    For japanese gov. They do not care. If foreigners are not happy then they can leave japan and g9 back to their countries. The jp gov will not give a s*** this is just a fact. Like or not this is just how jp gov will do now and in the future

    It’s so disgusting to see other countries and my own country following this trend. It’s uncalled for and just a very bad look, do better both our countries.

    I’m curious what is going on with the noodle slurping. I just spent lunch trying to reconcile how Japanese culture prioritises silence on trains but tolerates people slurping their noodles loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear (and loudly clearing their sinuses). I didn’t consider it might have something to do with me (a foreigner) being present.

    Keep going Japan, at this rate your island should be empty by about 2100…

    Remember when Biden called them xenophobic and how defensive everyone both on tv and online was? It’s cause he was right lol

  11. Research into what the Yamato did to the Ainu and Ryukyuan people during the Meiji era, you’ll understand that this is nothing knew for them

    The term gaijin hara is in itself pretty whacked. God I hope this doesn’t pick up as the official term, I’d be so appalled

    I’m confused. Are we talking about foreigners harassing Japanese people for slurping noodles, or harassing foreigners for slurping? Because when I was there almost everyone slurped, including the locals.

    Places like Toyko and Osaka are making billions from tourists, I guess they still like their money?

    i“ve always been fascinated by Japan and wanted to visit. For the record I come from a socialist leaning country with anti-racism policies which I agree with. But I can’t understand so many people are trying to make a life in a country where they are so unwanted. Foreigners cling to Japan like a toxic relationship and think they can change it somehow by complaining.

    No matter how cool japan’s high points are… I wouldn’t waste my time where people see me as some kind of invasive disruptive creature. I’ll probably never visit because it would make me super uncomfortable knowing the people I walk past wish I would blow up and disappear.

    I’m sure the Japanese couldn’t care less if I never visit and would prefer that I didn’t.

    Live and work where people like you and are excited to know you and open their hearts and homes to you. Japan doesn’t want us.

  15. It’s funny how racism hits so much harder when experienced directly as opposed to dishing it out. People of color or different religion have been treated this way for centuries in our oh so civilized western countries but sure, let’s feel discriminated in Japan. And for the record, other than the occasional case of not wanting to talk or help, my experience of xenophobia inJapan has been very very limited and I’ve been coming here for 45 years, and lived here for long periods of time as well.
