I think its a superiority complex that they share, thinking that they are better than others, and others should be kept out of the circle.iv experienced that........many rich people in my country do that.......(though its not racism, )
yeah but not at this level. this is a nation we are talking about, not a group of rich guys

on the topic of circumcision, i read that if your not, then it does nto make much of a difference, other then that it would be harder to clean during bathing periods, and that you are factually prone to yeast infections. if you are, then it is the opposite. also some think that if you are circumcised that you enjoy sex less, but then again, that helps with endurance dont it?
off topic, but anyways, japanese people do not take kindly to foreigners (mainly western people). the reason being that they think us western folk are wild and crazy, and are unpredictable. sort of like a typhoon, you dont know when and where its gonna go, but its gonna do something, and have destructive consequences. the japanese are a reserved people, and very conservative, they just see us americans as people who are always doing things first, and then worrying about the effect of our causes later. if you can show them that you are not as wild and crazy as they think you are from looking at you, then im sure you will be cool.
also some japanese people do not mind western people, nor do they think badly or ill of them. maybe your dad married into the type of japanese (dont mean to get racial here) who preffered a typical reserved, calmly, japanese man. then again there are some japanese who do not care either way.
it all depends on the person, not the race.

Well I'll say not everyone is the same, coz my bestest friend is half american and half japanese. And he always have a blast while visiting in japan.
It just depends on how lame/unlame each person are.

1/10 are uncircumcised? omg...that's....wait. they're men or women?btw....don't worry. i dunno if there's actually any racism in japan, but even if there is, it can never compare to the racism in my country....really, it's up to the point of ridiculousness.
What country would this be?
oh well, just a small multiracial country....actually, i can't say that this racist thing apply for all people of all race in this country. but at least, the main race of the country, and the race from which i came from, has developed some kind of distancing attitude to the other races. this is because they can't have it like the ancient times, where violence is the solution of everything, maybe. but at least, they are very hostile, not shown directly of course, to the other races.
they worry about the weird things, like the country will fall to the hands of other races and then they will be doomed or whatever...worrying is one thing, but they even try their best not to let candidates not from their race to get elected. heck, i dunno if this is actually true, i'm way too lazy to study these things, but there seems to be a law stating that the prime minister of the country must be from the main race. of course, there are laws that specially favors that particular race, especially in basic needs like education etc. just how stupid is that? can't every citizen be treated justly and equally? fortunately, things are gradually getting better, especially in younger generations, but those hostile feelings are still there, growing larger as these youngsters grow up. but, the main point is, is it that hard to of those enmities that are just blindly inherited from our ancestors? or, to put it more simply, can't we just get along?

oh my you understand me. ^_^
but well, i considered giving up actually, even more so because i know i dont really have a hand in this. and yeah, i want to run away. run away from all these stupid things. you know, once, my parents called me an "unteachable, failure of a son" because i don't adopt the same racist and religious ideas as them. seriously, wtf? i wanted to punch them in the face, but hey, although i have a scholarship to rely on, certainly it'll be more convenient to leech some off their wallets. plus, they're family, after all. so i know how happy i'll be to see them liberated from all these stupid beliefs once and for all......and that's why i wanted things to change, rather than giving up. but well, of course i'm not gonna stay in this country anyway. it's way too hot, and the damp weather really sucks.

truth to be told, the country is smeared with discrimination rather than racism and is even worse, sometimes when the news shows how the parliaments are having a reading that turn into a chaotic cursing and dog barks i really laugh so hard that my stomach hurts, when my parents ask why i just say this : they are more stupid then a cockroach who knows how to hide away from aerosol tin spray, and always u see in the promotion videos for our country saying multi-races are living harmoniously in one nation, man seriously they can kiss me ass will that bullshit ,thats why i will say this racism in the world especially in Japan can never get worst than our country , other than being discrimination all over here, the people are also not patriotic for the land they live (not that i am not the one of them but i damn as hell early gave up on this freaking land long ago).
p/s : yeah bad habit , currently trying to cut if off and sleep early

you actually watched the parliament meetings? i just watched it once, when i was hospitalized, and man, i wouldn't be caught watching those things ever again. seriously, i knew from the start that the people who rule our country are fucktards, voted by fucktards too, but do they really need to show and prove it? broadcasted on TV, no less. ugh, gimme a break. btw, do you come from the main race of the country? if yeah, well, we share the same fate. if no, you're missing out, man. i mean, aside from the usual racial discrimination, we got the plain ol' religious discrimination to top it off. plus all those devotion to defend the "hak istimewa" thing. very funny that i cried.
but, look at it another way, we have some things to be proud about too. i mean, you just can't name any other country/place that has a higher degree of discrimination than our country. now that makes us champions!

What do you guys think the racism stems from?I know in America, a lot if it is because either the race infringed upon used to be slaves, or because they took jobs nobody else wanted, and didn't leave when they wanted them.
Also: feel it out some, tell us what happened.
As silly as it is I could imagine the Japanese still being angry at Caucasians (primarily americans) for Hiroshima. It's like the British still have beef with the french for surrendering in the war.

its probably got a little bit to do with that. but those that experienced it will probably be very very old or dead when I move there, and most people will be in the 2nd generation of the children who lived during that era.

well if by champion u mean by surviving in a environment like that yeah then i agree we are the champion and no, i ma from the sub-race in it being the a bit fairer skin one but is nothing to be proud of and seriously when i was studying the history of the country i live in i really feel like going back and bash teh shit out of my ancestors, it was their fault too, to sign the treaty on the distribution on the special rights anyway just hope u can get out of this country as soon as you can like me and maybe something we will meet each other on a more less chaotic country as this. ^^ (special rights huh ? wat are u pregnant wifes ? disabled people ? really those are only the special rights i give a damn about are to those of disadvantage people , other than that they can kiss my ass goodbye)

In Japan, you cannot own property since you were not born there. You are only allowed to rent apartments or houses. The Japanese Nationalist party is very strict about immigration. If you are an American, and if you join the Marines or the Navy you might get the chance to station there.

About the topic of discrimination, as i come from a family of chinese heritage (something im proud of) i think that racism comes from the lack of or ignorance of knowledege about the particular culture. My mother has I suppose "racist" views of the Aboriginal indigenous peoples of Australia since she thinks they get more government fundings and does not return anything for society.
I, on the other hand, was taught ever since i was at school to value other people's culture and that was my philopshopy that i was brought up. I do not think of the Aborigines as worthess as i know that it is just a stereotypical view by society. I have friends which are aborignes that are smart and well-liked.
My family, especially on my dad's side, still can't forgive the Japanese from WW2. Since my dad's family sufered the most in the rural areas from the japanese army. I personally don't care much since the past is the past and what ever happened, happaned.
For the Japanese distrust, or disdain if you may, of foreigners is that theyre a very consevative nation and with a high elderly population, old habits die hard. Their experiences with the american occupation still leave a bitter taste in their mouth and also their views that western nations are taing advantages of Japan could be traced back to the Meiji restoration era. Where americans "invaded" Japan and forced it to change to survive.
Theese are my thoughts but the opinion about the japanese are just things i picked up from history class. hoped that i dont offend anyone.

I've been worried about this for awhile, seeing as I want to move to Japan, but have experienced some Bigotry, from my own family. My mom is Japanese, and my father is white, and my Japanese family rejected my dad because he was white. I was born, half Japanese, half white. I guess you can call me a half-breed at that. My mom's family accepted me, but they did not accept my father. They divorced, and now I am thinking of moving to Japan, maybe in the future (distant future) and I was wondering...Would I, a half Japanese, half white person, experience more intolerance and racism than a full white person? If you think that maybe they will tolerate me more because I'm half, you may be wrong, as they may think of me as something that wasn't meant to be.
My opinion: just stay cool, don't stand out so much, and u'll probably be okay
DON'T be like ichigo's hair!!!
