Japan...the most xenophobic/racist in the world?

Postby Cyka UchuuJin » Sat Oct 02, 2010 2:14 am

I used to think so. Then I moved to Denmark.

The Japanese make no secret of their loathing of foreigners and will quite openly blame you personally to your face for every flaw in today's Japan. The Danes, however, pretend to like you, then gossip and place blame behind your back.

I never thought I'd say this, but I actually prefer having been an FG in Japan than I do in Denmark.

Any other seemingly open armed nations out there who are actually not?

I haven't lived in Denmark, so I can't really comment on that country. I have, however, experienced my fair share of racism/xenophobia in Japan. Nonetheless, I'd say Korea's probably even worse. Having said that, mind you, I wouldn't like to be non-white in my native Australia.

Every country has its share of Xen. As mentioned Korea is far worse and I hear Sweden has become very nationalistic in retaliation against the growing Muslim population. As to the above question I would put down New Zealand where the smile and backstab approach to life is prevalent. Aussies are more likely to be in your face about it.

I've lived in Japan for a while now and NOT ONCE has any Japanese student, boss, friend, dickhead when drunk etc blamed me for Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Or bullshitted on about it and dragged my country into it.

Contrast with truly fucked cesspit of backwards thinking Korea where foreigners get blamed for every fucking thing - Korea's failure to make any fucking impact in the world for thousands of years except when they were colonised by Japan and proved themselves to be equal in barbarism to their J masters when they were prison guards.:mad:

Or showed themselves just as keen to flog off their women for a price. Forget about the Koreans (not talking about the abused Korean and other comfort women) using that and other things to put hatred-inciting material in history books for K students, even getting down in the gutter to introctrinate Korean kindy students by giving them books with pictures of evil Japanese.:rolleyes:

As a few fucking brave Korean academics have pointed Korean military initiated the selling of their women in a number of cases in the same way that the Japanese did. Try and fucking get them on that and they either start spewing their violent hatred or whingeing like bitches that Koreans should be exempt from all responsibility for that and for war crimes like torturing prisoners to death because Japan colonised them.

Been to Korea, thought what an absolute shithole of public ignorance and backwardness. Everywhere got called in Korea white bastard, white son of a bitch with my mate who works there, even the ladies were sworn at. Lovely people some of those Koreans. Just walking down the fucking street talking quietly, minding our own biz, not doing any loud foreigner shit

Taxi drivers who regularly try and cheat foreigners by just sitting there even when the address is written for them in Korean,running the meter and clocking up money.When you say you're getting out and aint paying they call the police - you just get out in that case and piss off cause the Korean police are much worse than the Japanese police.:mad:

The gringo tax Korean style. Oh the foreigner must be a tourist so I can always add on extra won - even when you live and work there and tell em as my mate and lady friend did.

The xenophobia's widespread tho of course there are pleasant and cool Koreans. Trouble is the nastiness of too many just fucking ruined it for me.

My mate is almost fluent in Korean and he'd point out shit like when we had staff of the KTX train and other people supposedly working in customer relations speaking to us in Banmal - the lowest form of the language you use to children or the lowest status people in Korean eyes. And this is the country that wants non Koreans to love it and go and spend their money there.:confused:

Japan gives us a lot of visa freedom - in Korea it's the opposite. You think the Japanese are xenophobes? Just look at the incredibly bigoted forums that loser Koreans (many of them run by young adults, 20s to 30s) have on the net. Their constant obsession is foreigners taking their women and the need to discourage Korean women from dating outside their 'race' (as if the Koreans are a race, what a fucking joke:spin: )

At the same time some of these cunts actually live in our countries so they take advantage of our freedoms and rights for them but want to make living there as fucked an experience as possible if you're not Korean.

Check out forum.koreansentry.com The cunt who runs that is a Korean who lives in Oz, either in my home city or Sydney. He is a sad snivelling turd but some of the stuff on those forums is just fucking hateful when it's not embarrassingly 'I feel inferior as a Korean'.

:ninja4: He hates whites, hates Chinese, hates Japanese and so do the losers who post there. But I note he's enjoying living in a society where he can do pretty much as he likes (unlike Korea), even running xenophobic-racist forums to show his gratitude to Oz for taking such a miserable cunt like himself.

As for the bloke who's a fellow Aussie - I come from Melbourne where if you believe the Indian press (and you'd have to be a sucker to do that), the actions of a minority of Aussie thugs who also bash up and robe young white men wandering home drunk alone from the pub in the wee small hours means that Australia's involved in a racist conspiracy against Indians and dark skinned people.

Don't forget the Indian bloke who accidentally killed his housemate's kid and blamed it on racist white men until he confessed. Or the Indian who poured petrol on himself and again blamed it on the racist white men, likewise the Indian who did injuries to himself and blamed it on racist white men. All 3 fessed up after the police refused to be manipulated by the Indian community.

Been home for a short break not that long ago, Aussies have put up with a lot of big changes to their lifestyle over the past 7 years or so. Crowded city and suburbs, less housing choices because of more overseas students and immigrants, overseas students like Indians bringing their whole families out who then compete for rental housing and jobs.

I'd say most Aussies welcome overseas students no matter what their skin colour and understand how they help our economy but in places like my home city there have been lots of scams from Indians and others to get student visas for the purpose of working.

Obviously young Aussies aren't going to like competing for work like part time jobs with Indians and Asians who are supposed to be attending their colleges/unis and working limited hours. The fondness of some Korean women for whoring instead of studying doesn't give Koreans a good rep and makes all the insecure dickless Korean wonders spewing hate on the net about foreigner 'immorality' for dating Korean women in Korea, complete arseholes.

Indian and Asian 'agents' have rorted the system but now the gov is cracking down and rightly so. What a fucking farce - enrolling and then having your college cook the books while you work.

As for asylum seekers - it aint the skin colour but the economic focus of a lot of them. Nearly all of them live on the social security system for a long time now unlike refugees from after WW2 to the 90s. They don't get expected to work their way up anymore but come into often very good housing set aside for them. Not all of them are economic refugees but we're seeing a lot more of those kinda people.

They spend their money coming by boats after tearing up their ID (in the case of a lot of em, not all) and usually send home a fair bit of their generous welfare payments. Their money doesn't circulate in the Oz system, it's Oz taxpayers' money going out of the country. Their demand for housing and services takes money, it doesn't create any demand that activates the economy. Aussies are getting pissed off at this, understandably.

As for the brown skinned Muslims (saying brown skin cause another poster referred to it) - it aint the skin colour and it aint the religion if the religion isn't the tribal, 3rd world type of Islam that is a problem for most Aussies. The covering up of women isn't something I give a shit about but walking around with your face covered while everybody else can't wear headgear in a bank or cover up at airports is just blatant double standards for newcomers. That aint xenophobia.

As an Aussie who travels back to the home country I get the full security treatment as do other Aussies or other people who don't do Muslim full body/face covering. I also have to prove who I am to my own country and everywhere else I go so I understand why people are getting pissed off at how you can come in a boat with no ID and get residence in Oz.

i've travelled lots. the japanese i think take the prize for the 'in your face'ness of it.

i should have further clarified or asked how people perceive xenophobia. so far i have learned in denmark that there are two classes of immigrants/FGs...the bad ones, who were brought over from third world countries as laborours and given a lot of rights on the system, but who have multiplied and brought their own over and simply live off the system with no intent to integrate into danish society. and then the good ones, who come here and buy houses and make an effort to work within the society and contribute. unfortunately, there seems to be now an across the board irritation towards all immigrants, good or bad.

anyway, back to who's taking the top racist cake. i think certain parts of america do. france definitely. haven't yet been to australia, but i have heard both good and bad. UK doesn't mind foreigners, as long as they're white.

What you qualify as good is bad too, they be stealing the good job and make the local losers envious...

France problem is...
They (sorry... can't say 'we' here) in the 8o' there was this whole "touche pas a mon pote" (aka "adopt an arab", and say you like it damn it!) movement coming with socialists in power which was in fact an attempt at counter reaction to the hostility toward algerians after losing the war. As usual, do gooders took hold of this crap and you were even awarded good grades at school if you were wearing the pin of the day. 'hopefully', 911 set the record straight and they can now hate arabes as much as they want as long as they are islamofascistes... the real issue is now young shitheads living of the system but stating they are not french as they are muslim... (not exactly brainiacs to say the least).
Old ladies in the street will be scared of black people, arab people or young people... but put a policeman at every corner and they might not even care...

Meanwhile... I think, that racism is nothing compared to the latent antisemitism... Racism is a new problem, that started only after WWII (Charles Martel don't really count here) anti semitism is older than France... In middle age, money was considered dirty, christian were not touching it, it was for the lower people, the jews... and on and on and on...

hypocrisis is also not helping, a 1980 comic was saying in a skit "i'm not racist ! my dog is black !"

Ok - I'll give a shorter reply. I've never been blamed for the atomic bomb in Japan and can walk around with a J lovely with no comments audible from Japanese people (my Japanese conversation is good, could be better, my listening is much better).

My vacation in Korea with a mate from Oz showed me what he and others put up with on a daily basis - fucking outright hostility from Koreans of all ages and when it's school kids of any age most of it's just disrespectful racist shit talking. :mad: That's xenophobia, and the media, govt shit like museums etc and education system there are far more racist and full of xenophobic progaganda than the J one, just talk to anybody whos not Korean who works there.

There's enough xenophobic Koreans to make people remember them and not remember the nice ones. My mate works there and has a hell of a lot of bad experiences re whites, blacks and other Asians esp Japanese being trash talked by Koreans as an accepted thing in that society esp by the media and cunts of politicians, and spat at etc. Some of the best people he met were older Koreans who fought against North Korea.

Re the Danish - they sound like they're blaming migrants/temporary workers who pay their own way or are sponsored and pay their dues, for the bullshit from refugees or economic refugees who come in and then expect Danish society to change for sharia law norms and want to recreate little Pakistans/Irans etc all the while picking and choosing their interaction with Danish society.:confused:

This is a problem the world over in developed countries. Aussies have def. got more pissed off at taxpayer funds being used to start off refugees/economic refugees at the middle of society instead of making em work their way up as used to happen. They're sick of endless boats of people who won' fcking pay money to circulate in the Aus economy but will pay for a boat because they don't qualify to come in thru proper immigration.

Aussies had no problem with Vietnamese boat people decades ago because their Buddhist and Christian religions didn't demand they don't show their face or expect Aussies to continually make concessions as if they were living in the country the refugees came from. The Viets also started up their own businesses usually w/out taxpayer help, didn't get generous welfare and showed far more interested in helping themselves and taking the initiative.

The big problem seems to be First World countries redistributing their people's tax funds to people who went there because of the welfare system. The economic refugees. It damn well causes resentment and they aint refugees by the UN's rules if they refuse to stay in the first country they go to.

In countries like the UK and Oz too many of these newcomers are interested in the culture when it gives them money but are not prepared to integrate and often don't make an effor to learn the language.:rolleyes: I heard the same about Denmark, even hear theres a joke that the Danes are gonna seek asylum elsewhere because of the demands some Muslims are making there.:hehe:

It's not xenophobia when you expect newcomers to appreciate the fact that they chose to leave their countries to live full time in yours, bypassing legal controls and whats more they expect you to fund this out your country's resources even when they're putting a shitload of pressure on it with their mental and physical health issues. At the same time services for Aussies have been caught because of budget issues but we can give services to people who invited themselves. That sucks.

Aussies want more migrants who come from developed countries and will pay their dues. That's not xenophobia. If the Danes are treating people who do that badly, then that's xenophobia.

Anyway, I get what you're saying. In NZ 'refugees' are given a house and an allowance to live and all that comes out of the tax payers money. Such systems are bound to stir up resentment. Segregated communities with high crime are not exactly going to encourage love and trust either. I think Japan is right to be cautious about immigration and to avoid making the mistakes some western countries have.

:mad: I'm young, under 29, and I don't remember the refugees post WW2.:) But I grew up in outer Melbourne witha shitload of people from different ethnic backgrounds, including Greek, Italian, Croatian, Serb, Lebanese, Turkish, Vietnamese.

Tho there was cliquiness and some shit stirring by every group, there weren't major problems. Growing up in a non affluent family and area I also found out firsthand that you don't do certain things like walking by yourself in the early morning or late at night in certain areas regardless of your skin colour - something that the Indians who got attacked over the last few years in Melbourne didnt realise. I know there was racist motivation behind some of the attacks but the rest of it was just the usual shit from thugs.

I also know the Viets' parents etc did it tough when they fled Vietnam. But since the 2000s mostly what Aussies call 'do gooders' and 'leafy suburb lefties' (regardless of the party in power because those fucking elites make decisions in the public service, govt funded organisations etc) have been making decisions on refugees and in doing so have lost the support of many Aussies because of the assumption that boat people can be given the benefit of the doubt and play the system to their advantage.:rolleyes:

Burning your boat and destroying your documents is not acceptable. Bottom line. Threatening to kill yourself if you don't get accepted after the Immi dept has looked at your case and rejected it is another case of Oz being held to ransom.

It's been opportunism for a while now and going soft on it doesn't result in much respect for our society once they get in and get established. Once refugees in Oz didn't get housing in areas a lot of Aussies would like to live but can't afford. :rolleyes:

I don't see any fucking problem with letting people from the 3rd world live in working class areas. They're not paying the rent (most of it is subsidised by taxpayers) they get the same payments as people who paid tax for years and they also get a hardship allowance that pensioners who did it tough and got by thru not being consumption addicts in the 50s onward don't get.:mad: It's fucking bad govt policy.

You also get phone subsidies and all sorts of extra shit on the welfare system.And the message going back home to the countries they come from is - come over, pay the people smugglers cause you're going to get freebies in every direction. Then send some of your social security back home and the family can come out.

Aussies are not being racist when they think this is just outta control. They will accept refugees who come in thru the correct ways but they want more people with initiative and skills. Not people from backward societies who bring a lot of baggage that others pay for who don't qualify to come in but take advantage by turning up. Not 'students' who've no fucking intention of really studying.

And for the record I'm not a freeloader on the J system - I always pay my taxes, health insurance etc.

I'm no Japan apologist but in my ~16 years here I haven't experienced too much in the way of problems due to being a foreigner. I've had a couple of Koreans (born/raised in Japan ones) go off on me about stupid shit -- you can really wind those fuckers up by telling them they're gaijin just like you are. :lol:

Of course there are fuckwits here, no country is free of them. Overall though I find Japan a good place to be an expat.

In 15 years here, I've only had one Japanese guy try to get in my face. He was a drunk 50-something and it was right around the anniversary of the bombings. He didn't have the guts to actually do anything, and nobody else was joining in, so I just ignored him.

I've never been to Korea, although I had one weird experience in college with a Korean guy who went apeshit when he found out I was dating a girl named Lee (she was actually Taiwanese, but he assumed otherwise). He started ranting about how she was shaming her family by being in my dorm room, and she just laughed in his face and told him to piss off.
I have a blog. Last update: August 18, 2013.

Anecdotally, in ten years, I've only experienced four incidents in Japan:

1/ Sat down on the shinkansen beside some older dude dressed as a 60's swinger. When he woke up and saw that a foreigner was sitting beside him, he switched seats;

2/ A FG colleague and I were given the "my bar is so small" blow off at some tiny back alley bar in Ikebukero;

3/ Some homeless guy started yelling at another FG colleague and myself at the exit to Sakuragichō station in Yokohama; and

4/ The [male] manager at an R&B business hotel in Osaka was not happy about how long we, two FGs, were staying there - kept asking us get a Japanese guarantor. Probably because we were popular with the [female] front desk staff.

Overall, quite minor. I've experienced much worse in other countries.

Only visited S Korea for several weeks. The hotel manager was a little prick, but other than that it was okay.

Did notice that there seems to be a collective sense of cultural insecurity. Went on a tour of a royal palace and after listening to the ever more outrageous claims of what Korea had invented, I asked the tour guide if it would not be simpler just to list the few things that Korea may have not invented . . .
Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because

1. You're now several kilometres away; and

2. You've got their shoes.

I've been in Japan for around 40 years and have had a few racist experiences I could relate, but I don't remember ever feeling threatened, just excluded. On the other hand, In the relatively short time I've spent in my home country of Oz I've been threatened or felt threatened by quite a parade of in-yer-face fuckwits, although not usually with racial motivation. In Oz it's more common that someone either wants to mug you or simply prove how tough they are, or is so strung out on drugs and/or booze they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Given the choice of having people not want to sit next to me in a train because I'm foreign, or having the crap bashed out of me by a gang of kids for the fun of it, I know which situation I'd prefer.

Same situation in California, mostly druggies or thugs wanting to get something from you. The major racism is what "hood" you are from and what color you wear. For example, I love red, but wont wear it outside my house, but I'll bring a shirt with me to where I am going (i am usually bare backed) and wear it if its not in a bad zone.

Japan doesn't have a lot of violent attacks vs foreigners, just old people wanting us to leave. The girls seem to like us :biggrin2:

I would choose Japan's racism vs the US's racism , it avoids an ass beating and harm to my family. In Japan we just get more room to sit down on the train, gotta love that racism !

Sad pathetic Koreans

Postby rooboy » Tue Oct 05, 2010 2:02 pm

Re the comments from posters about the Korean collective cultural insecurity,foreingners in Korean boards and blogspots have some fucking stories about this enormous bullshit that are hard to believe but honestly part of fucking daily life there.

My mate showed me sites like Korean Rum Diary which had countless Korean losers on the net literally crying with rage when they couldn't answer the Scot bloggers detailed and cruel but true critiques of all their seriously screwed up ways and fucking embarrassing lies and false history. All this crap is in the 'mainstream' K media and prattled by their pathetic govt, pollies etc.

So many Koreans have been so fucked in the head by their education system that they believe things that have the rest of the world rolling in the aisles with laughter. My mate had students actually threatening him because he told them 'fan death' is a fairytale. Yep, Korean 'intelligence' is so superior to ours and everybody else's that they think you can die if you sleep in a room with a fan on while the window is closed.:rofl: :rofl:

And that's not the most stupid thing, either. A little K cunt who works in OZ runs a Korean supremacist forum: forum.koreansentry.com

It's just so fucking sad, reading all the threads abuot how Koreans have the 'lightest' skin among Asians (whoopee doo but it's not even true - the females and even the males often use skin whitening cream), they are the 'Great Han People' (yeah, a mongrel crew of mixed Asians with hefty gene amounts from the Chinese who they hate because they've always been little servants of them) and how Koreans are so persecuted thru the world. Like the K cunt who stabbed the white Japanese lang teacher because the teacher didn't agree with his twisted worldview. Koreans often gab on in classrooms and on the net etc how they must kill and maim 'racists' who don't agree withe their myths.

If I still lived in Oz I'd report the cunt to Immigration.:ninja2:
