      @@julesbakundukize1469 There’s a lot of places hiring, but it’s very hard as a foreigner. Sadly, because of foreigners, and the disrespect most(not all) of them treat toward Japanese is making Japan Anti-foreigner. So it’s very hard. I also wouldn’t recommend it because Japans work culture is very demanding, and if your a female it’s worse

    People need to understand that there is racism everywhere. Look at Japan's history. They were almost never tolerant of other races. It's why I just roll my eyes when weebs say that Japan is a "peaceful utopia" just because they like anime. Aside from their anti blackness, xenophobia and nazi ideologies, their leniency to predators is astounding.

      I've lived in Japan as an AA for 7 years. It was very much a utopia. When I was there, they treated blacks very respectfully as well as all people.
      The comments in many of the videos with AA's and other Americans calling it magical was true. Many of us AA's called it heaven on earth. Had nothing to do with watching anime😂. We experienced it first hand and not reading history books
      It wasn't perfect, but it was the closest I've seen to perfect
      The extreme racism, toxicity and poison is definately a product of the US. They spread negative images of Blacks all over the world and that gives many countries pause now about African Americans.

      I think he was trying to get at the fact the large cities like Tokyo will usually accommodate English speakers (or whatever language) due to the vastness of foreigners passing through. When you go to smaller cities, or even full inaka, learning Japanese quickly becomes a necessity rather than an option.
