There are a lot of information about racism in Japan on social media
I was wondering if that kind of information is true.
I think the longer you live here, the more you can see the real

Im an African American and I've visited Kyoto but for a couple of days with a group. I personally haven't expected any racism but then again i wasn't visiting for a long time to feel it people were polite just like people in Tokyo and Osaka.
I will say i enjoyed Tokyo and Osaka a bit more for the activities but Kyoto is very reserved but also so beautiful with different culture and more calm ❤.
You need to interview nonwhite people to get a better understanding of racism in Japan. You interviewed 3 white people and 1 brown person. Japanese aren't typically racists toward white people but are very racists toward other Asians and black/brown people .
Like everywhere else: ...... But the frequency of experiencing discrimination in Japan would obviously be lower than in other countries. The data on return visits to Japan over the past 5 years shows that the tourists who come to Japan are mainly Asian. They come back to Japan 2-5 times or more because they enjoyed their trip. If they had experienced racism in their travels, why do we have over 60% repeat visitors? Even with false data in the media, people will decide if they want to travel to Japan again based on the experiences they have actually seen when they come to Japan. You, too, should drop the stereotypes and experience it for yourself. There are at least some racists, unfortunately, as there are in every country, but there are obviously not as many in Japan as in other countries.
@@MatthewSlocum-j5z I'm willing to bet those repeat visitors are mostly South Koreans, Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese. They face discrimination in Japan but much less than the SE Asians, Indians, Pakistanis and other South Asians and Africans. I noticed when I visited Japan many times, Taiwanese are really liked by the Japanese and vise-versa for some reason.
Japan are not racist about appearance.
But they are racists about manners and behaviors it’s very very important to them!
@@ai-wu8kr that’s total BS! I’ve lived in Japan for over 20 years and I can tell you that the Japanese are very racist and xenophobic based on the appearance of the foreigner.
Are you seriously suggesting that racist Japanese aren't racist towards white people? Would the racist Japanese be happy if their family married white people? Japan has people from Korea and China for generations and they are still treated as non Japanese and second class citizens. It's not about Black or Brown people. The racists in Japan are against any non Japanese people
日本に住まないと差別がわからない．日本人はおもてには人種差別見せない。日本に観光に来てる外人は全くわからない。
Thank you for the great learning topic........The way I was raised as a black man, my mother made a statement, right after I joined the U.S Air Force when I was young, never forget that you are a black man but also don't worry, the others will certainly remind you. As a black man who has visited 13 countries, including Japan, I would say that its a mix of reasons. However here is the main reason for racism, anywhere in the world. Most people were not truly educated (when they were very young) about the origins of mankind or modern humans/homo-sapiens-sapiens. Most people only learn about their culture but not about how mankind migrated from out of Africa, to all parts of the world. If everyone was taught the truth about our human species and how much we all have in common (avg. 99.9% of the same DNA, we are one scientifically one human race) then maybe they would be less racism, xenophobia, discrimination, prejudice,racial profiling etc. Japan like many other countries, wants to be respected and welcomed in all parts of the world but they are less welcoming towards people of color and that is a fact (I've been there). Nobody seems to care about a few brown/black foreigners here and there but let a few thousands come and then you'll see the real truth. Racism is a social construct by what they were taught and in their earliest years of education from schools, families and social constructs. If you told a Japanese person that your culture is from Japan but not your most original ancestors, actually migrated out of Africa as black to all parts of the world, around 50 thousand years ago, they would be shocked. They should also know that as early as 10 thousand years ago, most modern humans were still dark skinned (or considered black in today's understanding) and gradually developed different and lighter pigmentation's an other human features, all due to their stationary habitat (over thousands of years) group environments, UVR's, diets and vitamin D. Although I have experienced racism, discrimination or racial profiling in every country, most of the people were still wonderful, good loving people.
That was a great comment although some things I will disagree with you on, for example that racism is a social construct and I think you are classing that what we class as racism seems to being shaped by what happened in the West. You are speaking about how there would be less racism if people knew that we ultimately come from Africa, yet any person knows this with basic education no matter what country they are from. Racism or bigotry is inbuilt into us in some way as humans. I'm not saying it is right, far from it, but we evolved to be wary of people who look and act different for good reason for survival and this came as long ago as when we as humans came from Africa and to wary of the tribe next door who may kill us. How do you explain all the tribal conflict in Africa right now, with people with similar skin colour, but different races fighting? Yes I'm saying races, as an Ethiopian or Somalian is a different race to a Nigerian. In the same way a Greek person is very different to a British person in Europe.
Racism was inbuilt to save each of our differing waring tribes. Tribal warefare that has happened across every part of the world. The only difference now is we live in multi ethnic countries in the world now, so this is not needed anymore. People naturally gravitate towards people who are alike naturally. If you see someone on tv who looks like you and is from your country, I promise you will back them over someone who isn't 9 times out of 10 as long as they are a good person. We also back each other as countries against each other in sports no matter the skin colour etc. White people in Japan do get racism against them. White people in some African countries or in South America will get racism against them. It's human nature. Now racism is wrong. 100%, but it's not as easy as you are making things out to be. African Americans have issues with Black South American coming over the Southern border for a reason right now and I'm not American. I have family from different parts of the world and I loved your last sentence, take care brother
It’s amazing how foreigners who visit Japan experience no racism and foreigners who live a long time in Japan experience a lot of racism. For me I’ve lived in Japan for more than two decades and I think it’s the most racist and xenophobic country I’ve ever lived in, but my family here are Japanese so I stay for them. And I’ve lived all over the world including in apartheid South Africa but I still think Japan is the worst for xenophobia and racism.
I totally disagree. I guess you simply DID NOT FIT in their culture, thats it :)
I lived in Japan over 3 decades, I love Japan and never felt how you felt so.
No country are perfect, My African friends in Japan has no problems in Japan too. I hope you found your own perfect country to live now.
@@MatthewSlocum-j5z I can see both sides of the argument. You can fit in and marry, have kids, be kinda accepted, but you will always be a Gaijin, no matter what happens. You will never be fully accepted. Japan is an amazing country for sure and you can have a brilliant life there, better than most places in the world, but you will always be an outsider when push comes to shove
All of us are being racist, europeans, asians, africans, but the level of our racist kinda different. The most racist from my pov is Korea.
what happened
@@Huan_Ying. what what happened?
@@sabamniksonmoniagapakpahan4357 did you experience racism in korea ?
Yeah being racist is the default setting.
lol.. make a statement that korea is most racist, but unable to explain what happened...sounds like u r not truthful

This is very true! I’ve lived in Eastern Europe and in Japan and I can tell you the women fight over me!
