Luka Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) They don't hate black people, but you will get looks from them if you walk the streets there, the further away you are from big cities. People of other ethnicities are still somewhat unusual to them, so it's very likely you'll be stared at out of curiosity, and they'll often assume you're a tourist and that you're unable to talk in their language. Some people might feel offended by that. The truth is, you'll inevitably feel somewhat ostracized there.

Nova Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I would probably get a compliment in japan because i dont have a generic flat nose. Dor some reason my nose is a little bit big but not flat. I am befriended with a boy from the philippins and i dont notice any racism. I have read more about japan. Japanese people like very pale skin, Pretty skin and high chance to get skin cancer Edited December 14, 2015 by Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cingal Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I don't know if it's that Japanese people don't like Jews, or if Jews fear the samurai. Either way, I don't know if Japan is exactly hateful towards black people in general, I just don't think they're aware of the cultural norms we have towards black people in the west. Though, that being said, Japan is quite xenophobic in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revates Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I had a friend who lived in Japan on some American base in Japan. He is black and said he'd get some strange looks here and there but nobody ever said anything and they're very polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azu Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Japan is quite a xenophobic country, but that is mostly towards foreigners moving in. General consensus is that the Japanese want to keep their country homogeneous. However, I'm sure you would find more positive and fascinated reactions than anything else, given how rare it is for them to appear in the country. Japanese media tend to portray blacks as powerful and cool, and a lot of Japanese youth fashion is strongly influenced by hiphop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 the experiences that were described to me by those who took a year of study in japan when i was looking at an exchange program was that they will be extremely curious in you, moreso in rural areas. the community one person ended up in seemed to be very extroverted towards him, and that might suggest that they have a fundamental desire to maintain community, which is why they may be simultaneously xenophobic on the macro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarra Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've also heard that and they consider them spendthrifts. They don't want any non-Japanese settling there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcstinks Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hello! I found this thread while searching my own name. How fortuitous that it is something about which I am well-versed! First of all, Japanese people do not hate black people! Japanese love black people! But they are also afraid of them. You see, in Japan, everyone loves the idea of being black someday, but is a very Japanese idea of being black. Like so! You can see how these images do not depict anything that is, or resembles, a black person, but they are trying very hard! The trend is less strong nowadays than it was 5-10 years ago, but back in 2005, mang every Japanese-born person wanted to be black. Then they met an actual black person, and freaked out in screams and tears. Because in Japan, being black is objectified as being both excellent at rap and sports, as well as gun-toting and dangerous. Black people in Japan can be expected to be asked, "how many guns do you have?" Not just once, but many times. That is because in Japan, it is okay to be racist, as long as it is by Japanese-born, purely ethnically Japanese people whom have never left Japan.

#00Buck Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The main cause of black people dying is being shot by other black people. I think you'll be safe in Japan. There are almost no black people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
