Some people need to learn saying that they are half American is incorrect. Americans are Citizens of the United States. American laws does not equate nationality with race or ethnicity, but with citizenship and an oath of permanent allegiance.

If you've grown up in major cities in Japan, it's not that rare to have had half-Japanese classmates in school. Sometimes we don't even notice because they're mixed with those from neighboring countries (often Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, or Filipino), or mixed with Nikkei-Brazilians & Peruvians. Half-Japanese kids with a Japanese education and Japanese surname will be treated as Japanese as the rest of the population. (Lately, there are quite a few successful half-Filipino models, singers, and actors/actresses in Japan.)
However, half-Japanese or even full-Japanese kids who were raised abroad and didn't have any opportunity to receive Japanese education (such as "HOSHUKO" aka Saturday School) and aren't fluent in Japanese language, culture, and norms will most likely be treated as any other foreigner in Japan. Frankly, foreign-nationals who are fluent in Japanese language/culture will be appreciated far more within Japanese society than Japanese Descendants who don't speak any Japanese at all. In other words, it's not whether you're half-Japanese or not that matters in Japan.
Yes, I have heard this many times. My college roommate was born and raised in Tokyo and was half Japanese and half Chinese, and she did say she was treated differently by some. This was 10 years ago, so maybe it has improved since then, or maybe her experiences were “different” from most.
That's true for most countries by the way...for instance most Italians see Italian-Americans as foreigners (even when genetically they are technically Italian) because they oftentimes don't speak the language and overall their behavior seems very "foreign"
Well-articulated and insightful comments here. 👏 This is a multi-faceted issue with many different angles one can look at.
Even Chinese people in Southeast Asia look at recent immigrants and expats from mainland China differently. Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia didn't go through the Cultural Revolution like people in the mainland. And so their thinking and values are different.
Tq for your insightful explanation.
I feel bad for my fellow Filipino and her experience with the discrimination 😔
She literally makes her life 100x harder by looking like that in a country that values conformity. Literally anyone would be ostracized if they had that appearance in Japan.
She is so cool and smart! I wonder what she does for work. I love Philipino people! Such lovely passionate people❤

@@L17_8what does someone coming to Christianity give you? 🤔 Isn’t it enough if you’re a devout Christian yourself? And tbh, the comments you make calling people into Christianity has 0 efficacy. You didn’t bring up any argument for why Christianity out of thousands of religions is the truth. For example, Islam also describes the end times that are happening nowadays. Islam didn’t cancel Moses’s laws, but Christianity did partially or fully. So Christianity believes that what God sent through Moses was done by mistake, and Jesus came and said ah no, I was wrong before, now you should listen to the new stuff I’m going to say? I think you should study all religions first, and after you find out the truth, you can start your own channel and start explaining things. I’m sure you’ll come to the conclusion that all religions are man made if you study properly. Because till the rise of civilization people worshipped the nature, and in places where Christianity didn’t reach people had all kinds of different pagan religions, so you think they will go to hell just because God decided not to spread the Bible or New Testament to those people?

Brazilians energy are unique. So much fun haha
Thank you so much for the interview, it was really fun!!!🙏🏼🍻
Did you know that Japanese Brazilians/Latinos are the largest Japanese diaspora outside Japan? In fact of of the most polarizing person in Latin American politics Alberto Fujimori is the ONLY person of Japanese ancestry to ever become a head of state of country.
He had lot of burden in keeping Perú safe from Marxist terrorist groups, including The Shining Path.
Palau president Mr. Nakamura was known in Japan too.
Yes and the United States is the second largest diaspora for Japanese outside of Japan.
theres a huge Japanese presence in Brazil right?
@@helix99999yeah there are more Japanese people in Brazil than the US
I am also half-Japanese and American. Mother was born in California but is 100% Japanese and father has ancestry from Germany/Eastern Europe. Both of my mother's parents were interned during WWII. The issue I felt like I faced growing up was not having a group of people to identify with. It always made me unsure of myself, and confused of who I am. Created self-esteem issues, especially during middle school. Very brief instance of bullying in 7th grade. But I had friends. Overall, American kids are nice and I had a good childhood.
I feel like thats a common thing with mixed kids or mixed culture kids. You feel like a big of both cultures and it can be isolating to not be “fully” accepted by either
You mean you're half Japanese and white bc your Japanese side is also American, American shouldn't be used as short hand for white American!
Your experience leads me to believe with 99% certainty you're a dude. The half white/Asian male experience is very different to the female, let's just say females are a lot more welcomed.
I am hearing impaired and have difficulty watching this video without the subtitles you usually have. Please consider subtitles for English - I understand it's more work, but I'd really appreciate it!
UA-cam does have auto-subtitles in any language you choose, you have to activate in the lower right corner if you're on PC (on smartphone it's a CC logo in the upper right corner). Sometimes the translation fail and sounds weird, but you can understand by the context of the conversation.

Please make a part 2!
日本に住む日本育ちのハーフとして、このインタビューに答えている人達と質問者はほとんど日本人には見えません。それは彼らの外見ではなく、彼らの話し方や雰囲気、表情とボディランゲージの使い方から来る感覚です。唯一の例外はハワイ出身の女性でした。
Looking forward to this video
Give the Filipina mixed some medal for protecting her friend. She got bashed the way she looks which is SHO STIME is a full blooded Japanese who have the same outfits and personality. They can be really identical like father and daughter tandem. It really sad that everyone in the comment section prove that the discrimination towards a half people is real. Anyways, I am a fashion designer and I’ve noticed that her jacket is more than a million yen goes along with her nani’s trasformistas necklace ❤❤❤❤ Keep it up Filipina girl and don’t mind them maybe you are a rapper I hope that i will see you in stage with pop sho ❤❤❤❤❤
This was very eye opening and I really liked hearing the interviewees perspectives. However, I am also interested in hearing the perspectives of half Japanese and African descent persons. Thank you Asian Boss for another amazing interview.
Great interviews. That young guy with the glasses seems to really have a good head on his shoulders.
I know it's a stereotype, but this is a very attractive selection of people.
Ikr. I'm just sitting here like "WHY IS EVERYONE HOT"
Then you have low standards, not saying they're unattractive, but they're certainly not remarkable.
I think a lot of older generation might find them uncomfortable to deal with because unknowingly they can speak Japanese and cultural background that is so different and this thing called country's centuries-old self-isolation stigma that still exists.
I'm sure that half Venezuelan dude came in an interview with TAKASHii from Japan.
Thank you for having me!
Long eyelashes are beautiful.
Interesting facts Tupac shakur has long eye lashes 😮
7:03 back side 😂😂😂
Excellent interviews!
I feel like Brazilian nikkei are different than half Japanese people, the mixing in Brazil has happened for 3-5 generations already
In peru thats more common
true, brazilian nikkei these days are a lot more “brazilian” in a cultrual sense, though we’re always treated as “the japanese people” even if we were born and raised here.
My great grandparents on my father’s side came from Japan, both my grandparents and my dad were born here in Brazil, but they didn’t mix with the locals up until my father married my mom, who’s not japanese.
Honestly, i have no fxcking idea if i’m half japanese or just a descendent, because i was born and grew up 100% inserted within the brazilian culture. Perhaps i would be considered half japanese in a racial sense
Funny to see Kelly getting interviewed again lol
The hafu japanese dude who got teased alot about his long eyelashes when he was younger by other kids at school & he got home & trimmed them. I know how you feel dude, I got teased about my long eyelashes when I was in primary school & intermediate school. I trimmed mine, my Mum scolded me for doing that & yes the trimmed eyelashes grew back👀😳🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️
As a mother of kids that are Black British (my side 🇬🇧 🇯🇲 ) and Japanese (husband🇯🇵 ) in Tokyo, ironically even other mixed couples are shocked I have a Japanese husband.
Weirdly so. I feel like the norm for a lot is Japanese women possibly marrying foreigners but that their men would date & to a woman of colour at that is viewed with utter awe😂 !!
I’ll always get he must be Hafu ?!?! (he’s full) he must be foreign born (he’s not) sometimes I’m like “lady with all due respect your husband is from Iceland 🇮🇸 😂what’s with all the disbelief!?! “ lol one love ❤
These people are all so beautiful. It makes me sad that some of them were bullied. The Venezuelan and Turkish men are gorgeous
Some people are so fixated on nationality, can’t we just be human and individuals
hi asian boss, I plan to return to gz china after 0318, how to volunteer? I wish to contribute aiding story telling. also share my experience as North American born Chinese. I am a video grapher as hobbies.
Why did you cut what the person said at 7:58?
*Nuestro Kainihon sale en él vídeo ! 😃*
The Brazilian girl is so extra 😂😂😂😂
It’s just the Brazilian way of being 😂
Who's Brazilian?
She is definitely a narcissist!
Def many red flags there
She looks very bubbly and fun! 😊
The only constant is change. Japan is changing. It is wonderful to see so many thoughtful younger people who bring positive cultural values to the archipelago.
Yes. People who say japan shouldnt change are delusional. Japan has changed so much throughout its history- like during the meiji era.
Just look at how well multiculturism is going for the West.
@@ii4826 It's going good? Why not look to Singapore, seems they have a very well funtioning multi-cultural society that incorporates all cultures and walks of life.
@@TalEdds It's a lot stricter there I think. Elsewhere, crime has increased
@@idontknow9357 That says about society, not the nationalities or cultures of people. If people are cared for, given jobs and don't have to commit crime to survive, they won't have to resort to it. Most crimes are out of desperation or mental illness. Both need society to help and take care of them. No point blaming groups of people when society is to blame. The government should be doing more for them. Finding scapegoats won't help anyone.
Half Turkish man is very handsome and charming
They all have interesting stories.
3:08 The happiest place on earth? Girl
Shows how ignorant she is with that thick Filipina accent...
If she likes it thats fine. Everyones experience can be different
@ciello___8307 if you actually watched the rest of the video, she proceeds to endlessly complain about life there, so...go back to the PH!
I mean it really depends on the individual circumstances, if you're a king in Africa, you're very happy. If you're homeIess in a rich wite country, it's miserable.
Admin, please make video about Prabowo-Gibran victory in Indonesian general election. It's rare to see Indonesian videos in this channel
6:56 OMG these girls are so funny 😂 That made my morning.
I was the one who got sexually harassed in the Pachinko, my oppai was literally squeezed by the chikkan…..
Update: Kenji in kasumigaseki told me that my case was weak for the guy to end up in prison……. I just cried a lot
Ps: watashi wa hanbun nihonjin desu
Wtf
What to you mean by Oppai and Chikkan?
Sorry for hearing this, I hope you're feeling better now. Yes, Japanese police can be very obnoxious most of the time. I think it's a thing of great urban centers though. I live in the countryside and the keisatsu usually is a little more understanding. If police don't work, try to avoid places of gambling like Pachinko, Arcades, etc, it concentrates people with bad behavior and troubled minded.
@@aqmaral6454 oppai is breast
chikkan is more like groping or like a pervert touching you
i am shocked 😢 im so sorry if you experience that. And upon reading the comment sections, other countries appreciated the half filipina and got bashed by fellow filipina. I think she got the same style and personality with SHO STIME. But sho dont receive discrimination because he is pure and while she is attacked the way she speaks and dress herself obviously it’s a racial discrimination already 😢
Por favor pongan subtitulos en español🙏
I always had friends from different parts of the world. I'm Brazilian and I frequently see Brazilians complaining about Japanese people treating they differently, but back in Brazil, lots of Brazilians treat Chinese, Japanese, Peruvian, Bolivian people differently too.
What I think: It's normal for human behavior, to live in groups and being defensive against outsiders. We can't help but accept it's human nature, it's engraved in our basic instincts. BUT, as an evolved species, we can make an effort to not treat good people bad, just because they're outsiders. And we should always remember, if WE are the outsiders, we should try to addapt to the locals, not the other way around (there's a lot of Brazilian people that comes to Japan and think that the Japanese must addapt to their behavior, how crazy is this?).
Respect, open mindness, humility and understanding of the ambient are essential if you want that different cultures live together and share the space.
I sympathise with those who were discriminated. As half Japanese half Thai I also had bad comments from some people about my heritage as if being mixed race is wrong. But Im also glad to know that people out there are standing up
Didn't know Kei was half German until now 🤯 Guess I'll have to regard him as half a person from now on 😂
half german half japanese, so full axis power heritage
@@NO1xANIMExFAN Maybe he has some Italian in there somewhere.
Kei is ready to take over the world with his genetics.
@@favideos3699😂
Here after watching the anime man podcast with him
more than 4 months and still afraid of doing a video about the war on Gaza, it's just amazing how people are afraid of tackling the most important event in the world that's happening right now.
Shows how much influence The US have on South Korea.
Filipina girl is a legend
Nooooo.
🤮🤮🤮
I mean Kei could have just interviewed himself and then we'd have all been happy. 😁
❤ the Philippine girl saying she likes "adobo" which I don't know exactly what she means but I know for sure it's a dish with Spanish background
you have to look up the recipe, it is delicious! my boyfriend is Filipino I can recommend it 😂
From my experience, I can tell you in a nutshell:
if you look Japanese and were raised in Japan speaking Japanese you will have (roughly) a similar experience as everyone else.
If you don't because the "foreign" genes are making you looking like a foreigner you will be treated differently.
Then depending on what you're mixed with, it will determine how positively you're going to be perceived (From Western white, to Filipino to Nigerian)
Of course this is out of the realm of having a career in entertainment or modeling where "standing out" is a requirement. In regular Japanese society, "fitting in" is the golden rule.
Please note though, that I'm talking about society in general. Your family, friends, some coworkers and hopefully your partner will treat you normally.
Well i'm half and speak fluent japanese since i went to school there during my childhood but i'm like almost 100% white looking so i still to this day get treated like a foreigner lmao
My best friend is a so-colled "hafu". She took the brunt of it while growing up in Tokyo, came to Western Europe (where I met her), and I have never met anyone as respectful of Japanese traditions and way of life.
Japan really needs to stop being so exclusive and see how much lots of "hafus" they treat as gaijins actually love their country and their family there.
So-called*
As a Bengali citizen I feel at home in japan
Background 7:02 LMAO!!
I always dreamed of having a name like Michael Shishiwakamaru
Some people really need to learn being or saying you are half American is not correct. Americans are citizens of the United States. American law do not equate nationality with race or ethnicity but with citizenship and an oath of permanent allegiance
In Japan, we differentiate by nationality and not by race. We rarely say half-White in Japan. We say half-Russian, half-French, or half-Australian.
Don't get too caught up in "law". In terms of reality, boots on the ground, ethnicity absolutely does matter, and it matters a lot in terms of how "American" you will be seen as. Doesn't matter right or wrong, that's the reality.
remember, they disowned Japanese Americans..and don't recognize them as either American or Japanese...
We foreigners are not obsessed with race (that it's a concept that don't even exist in facts), nationality is far more relevant and concrete
I also know Assamese n little Korean or while recovering I forgot Simple’s mandirian
Gaijin card very handy but the amount of surprises reactions when you speak in japanese is a bit tireslme 😅
I would like one. I never get that special treatment in East Asia. Sigh...
This was cool. They really got a full range of mixtures lol
It's not hate but it's ignorance. Sometimes, ignorance hurts worse, because if its hate, I can take a distance from the dumbo.
In Japan they treat the half Japanese with half respect. That quote was so sad.
That's her take. She can be full Filipino or full Japanese by ancestry...but I think her situation will be the same. She simply doesn't fit into cultural and social norms of Japan.
Disagree, I think it really depends on the racial mix and the gender. So, females tend to be more appreciated for being exotic, and whiter mixes are more desirable. In a lot of contexts, not all, but a lot, a half-white woman is actually treated better than a full Japanese.
How’d you find every variety of half Japanese except half black Japanese? Really interested in hearing their story as they visually stand out most but seem to be regarded as innately “aesthetic” these days in Tokyo.
They are rare
@@xtr.7662 they aren’t common but i wouldn’t describe the gen-z and millennial Blasian Japanese as rare.
Jesse o gons is a big blasian japanese youtuber. But tokyo is such an international city so theres a lot of mixed race people there
Not to mainstream Japanese culture, they're not aesthetic. Sure, to the progressive, left-wing, foreigner-leaning locals and foreigners they are, but that's a minority.
Mixed race people are becoming more normal in many countries.
True
We are no longer constrained by geographic boundaries, humanity becoming as one, as it always should have been.
@@TalEdds Japan will end up being a white country in Asia soon!
The Venezuelan/Japanese man has the same mannerisms as my Spanish ex
Half Turkish/Japanese guy looks Peruvian.
nah he looks more like a Central Asian man
My man is average uzbek
Everyone is equally discriminated against in Japan…. Very fair
My sons are half Korean, 1/4 Sioux Indian and 1/4 German!!! And they were born in Korea!!!! They look mostly Korean due to mix!!!
Here's why foreigners might be refused by homeowners:
Owners have had experiences with foreign renters who mess up the room and then flee back to their countries,
or who do not respect the garbage disposal rules.
Is this a kind of discrimination?
Or owners just learnt from the experiences?
It's learning from experience and making an irrational, broad generalization on that basis, used to discriminate/prejudge people they don't know.
The solution is to instead talk about these potential issues with them to ensure they understand them, and have consequences if they don't listen, which are irrespective of country of origin/looks.
It's both, it's one of them things where both parties can have a legitimate reason to be annoyed. So, it's one of them things, where it just is what it is.
Venezuelan bro seems cool
Are whole russian Accepted In Japan? (Im against the war) But my paternal grandfather was an Uzbek (also Asian)
Short answer is yes. Since Japan has a tight visa policy, Russian-nationals living in Japan are highly-educated and as a result doing quite well. (I've met a few who work in IT, Finance, Consulting, Export/Import, and Media.) Many of them are near-native in Japanese language and culture. Interestingly, it seems Slavic speakers have an easier time speaking Japanese due to phonetic overlap. Some have studied Japanese language, history, literature, or culture in Russian universities or learnt Japanese in language schools and universities in Japan. Those who have built a life in Japan later naturalize to Japanese citizenship or receive Permanent Residency.
Just to be perfectly clear on historical relations, Japan signed three alliances with the UK, Germany, and later the US in the 20th century to counter the Russian/Soviet threat. But despite the multiple wars between Japan and Russia/Soviet Union, terrible treatment of Japanese by the Soviets after WWII, Russians still occupying Japanese territory, hostile bilateral relations, or the fact that Russia/Soviet Union was the predominant threat to Japan from 19th century and on wards...Russians are well-respected in Japan for their exquisite art and culture. Russian classical music, ballet, literature, ice skating, gymnastics, cuisine, architecture are well-known and deeply appreciated.
For better or for worse, this view towards Russians are also expanded towards Ukrainians and former Soviet Union countries, which is why Ukrainian nationals were specially accepted in Japan after the war unlike other refugees. Historically, the first large scale refugees to Japan in modern-times were actually Kazan Tatars who had to flee after the chaotic period during the Russian Revolution/Civil War. Many of them were privileged upper-class in the Russian Empire and staunch supporters of the Tzar. They were highly educated, well-mannered, sophisticated, and as a result well-received in Japan, which I suspect set the tone for Japanese views towards people from Russia and later Soviet Union.
Yeah, there have been some interviewed on youtube. Seems like they are doing good
@@yo2trader539 Depends on what aspect though, you say short answer yes, but in many important contexts, it's easily a no. For instance, becoming prime-minister or CEO of a Japanese company, it's easily a no. Marrying a Japanese? I mean foreign whites easily can do that too, so that's not really evidence that they're seen as "one of them".
8:33 Facts.
It's all about education and understanding who we really are.
The Brazilian gal has such a lovely sweet energetic vibe.
God that pranksters never ever sleep
Brazilian girl is so friendly and nice!
The Turkish Japanese guy is very handsome😳😳😳
Plot twist...cause he's gay!
Is hybrid offensive
@7:11 she likes adobo. lol that was cute. Which is what I grew up on being half Puerto Rican . Being mixed race gave me some identity struggles growing up. I’m also disgusted that her friend got touched and they were seen as the problem.smh
Haha. I love the accent of bubbly Brazilian girls speaking English 😂 There are a number in the UFC... and they all sound like that Brazilian/Japanese girl .
being a half japanese & mixed race is normal
The blonde woman said she has not experienced racial discrimination.
Could you interview a half-Japanese person with a black mother and Japanese father? I have never seen a Japanese person with this combination. Half-black and half-Japanese people always have a black father and a Japanese mother.
I've met someone who was half Japanese and half black. She looked Hispanic or Latino.
There is a person in the comments who is a black British female married to a Japanese man. They have children together in Japan.The channel is

@@ThePuckYeah
Cool!
I'm Canadian (Arab background) and my son is half Senegalese. He has an Obama type of look.
There's a commentor here, @twinningintokyo5487, with that exact combination. Love is blind, and we are all humans at the end of the day.
Cool people.
A little French language and Italian language I know
Im Japanese and live in japan and it’s weird how people accept the racism and discrimination that goes on here because Japan is so “culturally rich” …if it was any other country they would be “cancelled” 😂and rightfully so
i am half japanese who was born and raised in the united states but i do speak japanese fluently and i frequently visited japan throughout my childhood. in my experience, because i look more japanese (some people cannot even tell I am mixed), and i speak japanese fluently i have never had any issues with discrimination in japan. i think japanese society is very much about not standing out (出る釘は打たれる) so if you visibly and culturally do not stand out you will not really be treated differently. at the same time, i have friends who are also haafu and are born and raised in japan but because they look more half/mixed they have had bad/xenophobic experiences. on the other end, even if you are fully japanese and appear japanese if you cannot speak the language and you are not culturally japanese you will be treated as a foreigner. there is not really much solidarity between japanese diaspora and mainland japanese.
ハーフじゃなくてダブルでしょ
I wouldn't take the comments talking about the lack of Blasians too seriously as the last video didn't have Lasians or East-Southeast Asians. There are lots of people who need more representation.
Way to not answer the question 14:57 - the story from the half Filipina person clearly demonstrates the different experiences faced by people depending on whether they are coming from a poorer Asian country or white America
Damn dude's rocking that hair transplant...it looks insanely good.
Who do you mean?
1:01
Was there always this many half Japanese people on Japan? In last year, there has been a huge increase in these types of videos and the half Japanese thing now is so common it’s become almost gimmick
There isn’t that many. It’s just how UA-camrs portray it. Most mixed race Japanese people only live in Tokyo and the nearby cities.
It's also because half Japanese seem to navel gaze about identity more than anyone else on earth for some reason
There isn't that many, it's actually quite rare in the grand scheme, this is what we call selection bias. Where channels targeted towards foreigners showcase the foreigners in Japan.
@@Cxs1a3 I wouldn't say that hafus are automatically foreigners, because there are plenty of hafus born and raised in Japan. But you're right, many Western youtubers in Japan and Korea only market things like "living as a foreigner", "being half Korean/Japanese in South Korea/Japan", etc, just feeds the Western mindset of "wow! look at how backwards East Asians are!"
@@oh.s The point is foreigners find hafus more relatable than the avg Japanese, and that's why they are often brought onto these channels, because foreigners like watching people they can relate with.
Please do a video series about transracial adoptees and how they are viewed in Asian countries (Japan, Chinese, India, South Korea, etc.) As a Chinese transracial adoptee in the US, I feel like Chinese people always see Chinese adoptees as foreigners, sadly. But I would love to see if this is true!
Japan is my forever happy place
Depends on the scene , i guess in an very touristy area , i think that will be considered normal
They are so gorgeous looking
Did you miss the Filipina Japanese..? 😅

15:02, this guy definitely knows the gaijin card only works if you are half white. Even how he deflects talking about race is so white.
Great interviews, but you're missing half Japanese half black folks. Their experience in Japan is different, often times harder. But good video, and it was especially eye opening hearing the woman in the green jacket.
The reason why half Japanese half black folks are not in the video, is b/c they are a very rare breed in Japan, and in this world. There are more Japanese half Filipino people in Japan and Japanese Brazilians than Japanese half black people. The most famous models and actors and actresses in Japan are half Japanese half Filipino.
@@gregorypetty6887They’re in Tokyo, so they could have found at least a couple of Blasians to interview. If they were filming somewhere like Sendai or Nagoya, then it’d be reasonable to say “there’s not a lot of Blasians here”.
No they are not perhaps in okw@@oh.s
@@AnnDale-ie3jn -so yes, they EASILY could have found a couple of Blasians to interview in this video. They deliberately chose not to.
You just answered your own question. If it is so hard for them, that's the reason there are so few of them to be interviewed, because it's hard for them to exist in that society.
Wow😮 Kiko is really beautiful.
Racism in America may get more aggressive, but is not as generalised and many people will be disgusted by it and fight back. In Asia, basically everyone has a mixture of naïve, ignorant, unquestioned, unapologetically racism
10:24 Don't mess with a Filipino, indeed. We will tell you everything in detail.
Which also places you at the #2 slot for most toxic Asian women.

the half fillipina girl had me lol thats insane that a guy did that to her. i have female friends in japan and i heard the men treat them pretty bad. it doesnt help that the media and anime sexualize women so extreme that there is no respect smh
That was her friend and the girl who got harassed is now on the comment section. Even if there are cctv’s the justice was denied because of lack of evidences. WTF right? The incident was caught by the cctv
