In Japan white people are treated like Japanese people are treated in America. Makes you think, doesn't it?

[(Anonymous)]

Like we're smart? And our women are hot?

[(Anonymous)]

you do not fucking own women.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, but I find it interesting you went straight to ownership. My thought was that "our women" was an expression of camaraderie, between me and my fellow women. But whatever: you keep on doing you, angry anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Damn that's fucked up

[(Anonymous)]

That Japan is just as fucking awful as america? We know this.

[(Anonymous)]

everywhere is fucking awful in its own way

just the accent changes

depending on where the awful is performed

[(Anonymous)]

Like MacArthur ought to have let the invasion go ahead, and repopulated it using the surviving American military.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit.

[(Anonymous)]

Now that's what I'm talking about. Hoo-rah!

[dancingmouse]

Think about what? That each country has it own hang ups and flaws and that no country is perfect?

[(Anonymous)]

That it ain't right letting Americans be treated like that.

[(Anonymous)]

Deep sis

[iceyred]

How are Japanese people treated in America today? Honest question, I've never lived in a place with a large Japanese population.

[(Anonymous)]

Better than blacks or arabs, but pretty much just like all the rest of the asians. So pretty crappy.

[(Anonymous)]

No, They aren't

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhh... I don't think it's directly comparable unless you're only making very superficial comparisons. In the U.S., Japanese people don't get stopped in the street and asked to be in a photoshoot or TV show just because they're Japanese.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. Your statement is so vague there is barely anything /to/ consider. It's like someone walking up to you and saying 'Abortions, am I right?' with a knowing look.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I hear you. Abortions, girl.

[ill_omened]

No they're not.

Totally different dynamics. Japanese people are treated in an asexual unmasculine way in the states, whereas white people are seen as more barbaric and uncultured.

(massive broadstrokes, but)

[(Anonymous)]

Stopping to point out, that's only regarding men. Women have different stereotypes.

Japanese woman in the west "docile china doll so submissive"
White woman in the east "blond bimbo easy lay"

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Since I'm white and based how I was treated when I lived in Japan... I guess there's no real racism against Japanese in the states after all then. Okay.

[(Anonymous)]

well, most complaints I've heard from asians who live(d) in the US and/or europe was that people were being presumptuous and just assumed stuff based on their appearance. less the kind of "you're [black] so you're basically a bushmonkey" stuff black folks have to put up with but rather "you're foreign" and all kinds of cliche ideas that are not overtly negative but rather "micro agressions". yes, blatant racism ("chink" comments and so on), too, but those mainly in school.
And guess what, that's pretty close to many peoples' (inlcuding my) experiences in japan. people just assuming you don't speak the language so you don't deserve the basic respect they they would afford any person who looked japanese. like when I bought a snack and dared to fiddle with the packaging while waiting for my friend and the employee at the store came running up waving her hands and crying "no eat!!" or having the counter closed in front of your face without a word because the person behind was scared they'd have to speak english. and the list goes on. try asking wives of japanese men who are not asian.
and the blatant racism is, as in the US and other places, mostly reserved for school environments.

this is not supposed to be a "awww poor white people" and black people and southeast asians get it far worse, but I kinda get where OP is coming from (though the whole phrasing is a bit trolley) and I wonder how you can have lived in japan and completely deny these things.

[(Anonymous)]

No it doesn't; I don't give a shot about either Japan nor America. I have other things more interesting to think about.

[(Anonymous)]

Why would that "make me think"?

If you have a point, then make it.
