[QUOTE="metroidprime55"] They're still xenophopic, there are a lot of people who will tell you this. Japan isn't a paradise, it's got it's fair share of problems, it's a good country but seriously it's not like great chosen land where everything is perfect and everyone is free, no country is that way.PS2_ROCKS

Do research kid , Japan is much less sexist and racist research hate crimes there much more common in the US. So stop talking down to me I know my **** and I used to take Taekwando until my grades suffered.

Japan is a lot more sexist than the US and the rest of the developed world. Women are objectified and essentially have the mindset to not complain about it.

In general, Japanese people are artificially polite to each other. Everyone has the mentality to never, ever show any kind of disrespect or negativity and if you do, you will be looked down upon. By negativity I don't mean like calling someone a jackass or being blunt, I mean something as insignificant as going to a restaurant with some friends/acquaintances and complaining about the food. The amount of perpetual ass kissing that goes on is mind numbing. As a foreigner, it's incredibly difficult to keep up with that pace which is one reason why they have so few foreigners.

Good insulting others is wrong, again understand why some people like those who like being rude prefer other countries. I have my own preference.

Dude, you really need to go there. I was in Kyoto for 3 months on a business trip with my dad when I was 15. After the first month, when the glamour of being in Japan wore off, I started to realize how many of the people seemed to hate me or find me suspicious because I was American. It's very disturbing, especially when you follow native customs and they yell something very incriminating at you. I bought a T-Shirt from a novelty store and just as I was leaving I heard him say "Baka Gaijin" just as I was leaving. I know enough Japanese (and I know very little) to know that meant something along the lines of "stupid foreigner". I didn't even do anything while I was in his store. I just walked in, waited for an elderly couple to move, grabbed a shirt from this little box, paid for it, and said thank you as I left (in english, something tells me he would have been even angrier if I said domo), and left. Very few genuinely nice people there, mostly people just putting on a smile because they just don't want you there. Aesthetically, it was nice. For the people, most of them were terrible. It was just the Hotel manager, some kids who were my age I hung out with occasionally over at a gameshop (whose owner was pretty kickass), and some random passerbys who were truly nice.

Well, for one, I can tell know matter what I write or post, you'll continue to pull off a weaboo persona to counteract me, and second I don't hate people who like Japanese culture (most of my friends are obsessed with it), just the ones who treat the Japanese as some kind of Gods because they were made fun of as kids for liking Japanese things so they believe that by going to Japan, they would instantly fit in. Unless you have actually been there, don't go preaching how great Japan is to the people who have actually been there.

No such thing as a weeaboo... Because I want to live in Japan I want to be Japanese? I am white and I accept that... I hate the internet alot of times and it sucks people are so judgemental. I said hi to someone in Japanese and was pushed down and called a *****. Even if Japan has segregation I would rather live there.

Isn't Japan fairly xenophobic though?

I can't speak from experience but I highly doubt it's the paradise you make it out to be.

No they are not, nowhere near as racist as this hellhole I inhabit. I want to run away to be in Japan I would love any job there. I would scrub toliets I do not care.

So you've never been there but you know this to be true?

Because Japanese are taught respect and not brainwashed to be arrogant and obnoxious, Japan has a lower crime rate. But the US is, or at least was before the current administration began to radically change the government and society policy, is the best country on the planet for the last 25 years or so.

[QUOTE="SyrupNinja"]No, but I can not spend a day without fantasizing about living there. I wish I was Japanese because Japan > America and Europe. In Japan you are accepted for who you areJML897
