You know this would make a very interesting video. Take 3-7 gaijin of differing nationalities and skin tones and put them to work in the same city, same area, same situation.. for instance they need help with a flat tire, or finding the bank, or something like that. And using undercover cameras, capture how the Japanese people at random respond to different gaijin. I think it would be really interesting. It might even make the news..

[Akito]

Probably would. I'd like to think that it's just something I'm doing. When I lived and worked in Australia I met a lot of japanese people and they assumed that I was American (with my beard). I'd like to think this was just a shaving issue (i look like crap without a beard) but I've been here two months without any real exceptions. Hopefully come payday I can travel to Tokyo and check out how green the grass is there.

I dated a girl in Hamamatsu for a while... decent city, they have a Subway

I appear Brazillian and in about 90% of my interactions with Japanese people (males and females)

I used to live in Toyohashi and the same thing happened. Not just with the Japanese but the Brazillains too. I couldn't have been bothered to learn Portuguese though. I spoke Japanese with them. The Japanese people in Toyo weren't very friendly with the B-nuts so I didn't make many friends there, but then again I wasn't looking for friends.

I don't know why Japan lets Brazilians in the country. There are heavily into crime and generally form FBG ghetto's (who wants to live near a bunch of noisy samba party freaks). Everytime I went to immigration they kind of reminded me of the low-level white-trash we have in Australia.

Adoria,

Math Dude in an Aussie. You can start appologizing to the Americans any time now...

You're expecting an apology from a Brazilian? Hell will be freezing over before that happens... is there even a word for "apology" in Brasil's vocabulary?

Many years ago I was in Iwata visiting a friend who was teaching on the BET scheme (the British precurssor of JET). As part of the weekend's plans, one of his Japanese friends had offered to drive us to the zoo. About five minutes into the journey, the guy suddenly floored it and started taking some sharp turns which threw me around the back seat and scared the living daylights out of my mate in the front. A few moments later, he pulled up in the middle of the road and asked us to wait. A policeman appeared at the side of the car, took the guy away for questions and asked me and my friend to get into the police car.
At the police station, we were left hanging around in the waiting room for a couple of hours before another policeman came and drove us back to my friend's place. A teacher from the school dropped by and told us that the Japanese guy had been banned from driving a short time before. The police had seen him driving us and went after him at which point he had tried to outrun them. After grilling the guy for some time and after some intervention from the school, the police decided not to take further action. Apparently, they fully understood how a prior promise to take us to the zoo had created an unbreakable obligation which had forced him to take the wheel illegally.

Since you aren't showing any statistics or sources to back those statements up, I guess it's safe to assume you're pulling them out of your ass.

According to Police Agency stats the crime rate among Brazilians is actually much lower than that for many other minority groups in Japan. The reasons they end up congregating in "ghettos" is they live in housing where companies or labor brokers put them or they can only live in certain places because of widespread housing discrimination (Tsuda, 2003)

That's funny. No really, that's funny. Comedy is your forte.

Nah, that's the men -- like the example above.

South American arrogance knows no gender bias. Probably the funniest thing I ever heard was a Brasilian telling me (while very true) that Americans are jingoistic in their love of their flag. Coming from a Japanese that would make some sense, but you'd think that every Brasilian was issued their own personal copy of their flag when they turn 12 or something.

The funny thing about that is they don't start doing it until they live in Japan. In Brazil they are know as japones and call all the other Brazilians gaijin. Anyway, it sounds more like you're talking about Canadians to me.

FGL, Brazilian asses are a thing of beauty.



I think I must have some black ancestry because I don't understand my white bretheren's obsession with over-inflated chests and lack of appreciation for the butt.

[Akito]

Sorry Adoria I forgot to clarify myself. My [badly worded] question is whether or not a lot (of course not all) of the Japanese people in this area are unfriendly towards foreigners in general or just Brazillians. My reason for the question is not just because of my appearence but because of stories from my other friends living here who have been treated nicely in Japanese bars and restaurants when they enter with other foreign friends but have been spoken to rudely, ignored or had orders forgotten when they went with their Brazillian boyfriend.

That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while.

I think you missed the humour in cs's post and my response.

I don't favour one part of the female body over another... Every woman (within reason of course -- spare me the 300kg monster picture please) has a strong point. Might be her legs. Might be ass. Maybe breasts. I try to enjoy what each has to offer.

I've got a Canadian story for you too. When I was back home visiting in California, I was wearing some Canadian t-shirt I had received as a gift from a friend. At a local coffee shop, this lady comes up to me and asks, "are you from Canada?" to which I answer, "No. This was a gift from a good friend of mine". The lady then just walks away without saying anything else!
