    私は日本人でカリフォルニア州に12年程住んでいましたが、アメリカで生活をしていると、そこに住んでいる人間は英語が話せて当たり前という態度で最初から接してきます。もしその人間が英語が十分に話なせないとわかると明らかにそこに心理的な壁が生まれます。日本の場合は、もし外国人が日本語が話せなくても相手の日本人は外国人に対して理解をしようとする態度を殆んどの場合見せます。かたことの英語を使ったり、翻訳機を使ったり、話せる人を探したりいろいろな方法をつかって何とか理解しようと試みます。
    アメリカや欧州の場合はどうでしょう?おそらく全く逆でしょう。日本で体験する以上に相手の言語理解を試みようとする人は圧倒的に少ないはずです。あなたの母国に生活している日本人達にもインタビューしてみてください。きっと多くの滞在先の言語が話せない日本人は心理的な壁を感じて生活をしていることが理解できるはずです。
    自分がマイノリティーになると被害者意識が生まれ、逆の視点を時々忘れてしまいます。日本のアパートの契約で外国人という理由で断られるという物件は多少はあると思うが、アメリカにおいては日本に比べ顕著でしょう。

      Just like England, Japan has a dark past of imperialism. Devastated China, in South Korea was even worse , turning Korean women into sexual slaves and they never apologized. Not to mention what they did in WWII. But Japan is not alone, Europe has a past as obscure as Japan's

      @@WarriorsCats777 Japan apologized but the apology is not done fully because the recognition of their war crimes has always been vague. Japan never admitted that their wartime actions were illegal. They still insist the colonialism is legitimate and sex slaves and forced labors were not explicitly executed by the government. Japan always claims that 1965 treaty between Korea and Japan concluded all matters, where two countries never saw eye to eye on the recognition of Japanese wartime crimes with Japan denying their illegal actions. Since they are illegal, the compensation for violating the law is still pending. Also the dispute goes on whether the treaty does not include individual compensation for victims' human rights. While Germany never forgets their war crimes and teach their young ones the atrocities during WW2, Japan distorts the history and hides their hideous past. The attitude hugely sets Japan from Germany.
