Japanese Brazilian: "F-Off Japan!"

Japanese Brazilian, Stay Off Japan!
Brazzil.com / Sept 23
A Japanese Brazilian living in Japan must have a strong heart,
and stomach, and a strong sense of oneself, in order not to get
lost and crazy in the sea of Japanese coldness and rejection.
When the Japanese cannot avoid seeing that these Brazilian
Japanese do have a culture, their reaction is disgust....
..... to warn other Brazilians not to come to Japan. The past is still alive here. Foreigners should stay in Dejima, off-shore. Those of you who left Japan, stay out.

Okay, on the culture: we had a Brazilian exchange student stay with us for 6 months last year, and it was quite an eye-opening experience. I got the feeling that, in Brazil, throwing your culture into everyone's face is considered polite. Since she was enrolled in a local high school for the year, she quickly got out of that as she picked up Japanese. At the end of her year, I could barely recognize her; she wasn't anything like the girl I met.

The Brazillian is quite right. Japanese are only interested in English (ingrish) and major English speaking countries. Racist closed people - the Japanese

I will continue my practice of not saying a word in English, here in Japan, unless I am paid hard cash first! :P

That article helped me learn a lot about the Japanese world outlook. To them the 'outside' world must mentally pose a huge threat. They really are more frozen in time than I realised, from some of the issues this article touched on.

well, that is one powerful story, I came to Japan in 1999 and what a difference, I feel truly sorry for the author and the countless others the japanese dont understand,

"The word "gaijin" is a dirty word in Japan, and literally means "the one from the outside." Whoever is outside is impure, suspicious"

heard that before, time stands still here.

"There is an interesting detail: the country, still shielded by its ideology of the "purity" of the Japanese "race," only accepted the descendants who could prove their Japanese ancestry."

HELLO FUJIMORI YOU DISGRACE.


" These Japanese Brazilians are simply following the very Japanese notion that the whole world outside its borders is one sea of violence"

Well, well, watching TV tonight and a funny show about all the dangerous and crazy things happening in the world(and there are lots), but only when the topics came back to Japan no stories of violence.....all feel good and "pure" suuurrrppprrrisseee sssuurrrpprrrisse

"At the present time, it is impossible for a Brazilian factory worker in Japan to save money. This is quite different for the Japanese worker in the same factory, because he/she is paid at least twice as much per hour, and has benefits the Brazilian will never be able to obtain."

a history and present of slave labour. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh

"I truly believe that the Japanese government looked the other way while the hiring companies exploited not only the workers, but also their children, who still suffer a level of discrimination (even racism) that their ancestors, when they arrived in Brazil, never could have imagined."


everyone should read the link.

I saw something similar several years ago. They were showing street kids in Brazil getting high on glue, underage prostitution in New York City, etc. Then they come back to Japan for a hard look at the problems their own youth: students who stop in convenience stores after school and look at comics or buy a soda, rather than going directly home to study. And we wonder why upscale department stores play Disney music.
