Interesting experiences. I was a student for one year in Japan, taught English for two and later returned for five years working at two different multinationals. The general policy in Japan for non-English-teaching jobs is Black/White/Foreigner need not apply. In the smaller of the two multi-nationals, my lovely Japanese coworkers used to tell me the company was too small to have foreigners, and I should really consider leaving (which I did). In the larger one, they would tell me that the company is getting pretty big now, so they really will not need foreigners any more. All the while these same people would be all smiles and sunshine to anyone visiting from abroad or when their weekly English teachers came. And don't get me started on how many apartments I had to go through to find one that would rent to foreigners....and this as an engineer with a solid salary and bank account.
Finally! An honest video. People like to say because they love anime and samurai that Japan is a "Utopia" when in reality the country is very racist, classist,ableist, xenophobic and sexist.
Few days ago I had a terrible experience at a supermarket close to my house a lady made me almost cried. Am going to be sharing this experience on my channel
The train discrimination is something that took me time to get use to. But trust me each time they move away from me on the train I feel more relax sitting without regret. At work I experience racism more from fellow foreigners especially Philippines.
I live and work in the Philippines. My sister their own racism is slow motion. They can fake love to the highest level until you find out what they are saying/doing in your back
I've had an incredible amount of racist experiences with Japanese. But I do have to say that I really never experienced it on trains over the years. Girls ended up falling asleep on my shoulder quite often (I'd only let the hot ones do that). I experience reverse discrimination when Japanese women hit on me on trains, which the Japanese men didn't care for very much. Some of the women were married (some to foreigners) and a few asked me to get off at their station. I never did because I want nothing to do with those sneaky fucks.
I think I've experienced the "Gaijin Seat" phenomena more often on buses than trains. One reason to explain the avoidance is that non east Asian people smell different. Non east Asians can have sweat which has more bacteria in it, leading to stronger body odour. Conversely stronger scented shower gels or deodorant also gets up Japanese people's noses.
your honesty keeps me glued to your channel. I don't criticize anywhere I stay because in some countries this particular video is your ticket to prison. Good job watching from Dubai.
I never been to Japan, and these racism videos are not discouraging me from wanting to visit. But I did face discrimination in Bangkok in little Tokyo. I was told by a Thai security that he could not let me in, because their bars have a Japanese only membership policy. When I asked why they are so discriminative, he just told me to get out and stop making trouble. Later a polite Japanese girl cam to me, and said that they would have problems with the clientele if they saw any non-japanese people there, and said that Japanese people can be very narrow-minded. I'm a white Scandinavian, and It was certainly a new experience being exposed to racism. But still, I choose to believe that while racism exists it's not a representation of all Japanese.
Unfortunately, for Japan, it is. Even if it's indirect. If they stay quiet, that means they're a part of the problem purely on the grounds that silence is consent.
What you say during 3:10 to 3:18 mins of your video is the textbook definition of "structural violence." Thank you for sharing your experience; certainly unfair and an extension of the Jim Crow era that the USA went through. As Dr. Martin L. King, Jr said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," so let's keep our heads high and fight for injustices everywhere.
Nice content bro I just found your channel same experience I have they will never show it openly they really do it systematically unlike other Asian countries
To my knowledge (from a friend who visited) there are japanese people against foreigners but not exactly racism. And when they act as we would presume racist they don't mean to be racist it's most of the time not knowing how to react to foreigners so they avoid them as to not be insulting as they don't know how to treat us or a different in customs and we stand out as well as they can sometimes get to curious.

日本人はアメリカのおかげで良い生活を送っています。 The Japanese are living a good life thanks to America. Are Japanese people grateful to America? 日本人はアメリカに感謝していますか？ Can you ask Japanese people?
Konishiwa and my best bet Learn to speak the language that will help to deal with the native people out there. The Japanese are very friendly and less racists than other white people, Train use Is a problem in Japan and China.
I'm sorry to say this, but you're very ignorant. I've heard stories of Whites getting discriminated by Japanese citizens. There was a program I went to 4-5 years ago and the person that was teaching Japanese was White. He told me that there were times he was discriminated like when he went to a particular restaurant to order something, the waiter said to him: "Sorry, but we cannot serve you" and they asked him to leave. Racism is everywhere and it can happen to anyone regardless of their skin color.
Brother nice video! I am sorry you had to go through that. You made me laugh even when telling the story. I get the train thing a lot it is always annoying.
Okay, so let me explain something. The Japanese people are extremely conservative. And they really do not like if you don't try to learn their culture. I can more than guarantee you. This individual challenges stories did not try to understand their culture. When moving there. The problem with many Africans when they move to other places from the country, they try to bring their culture to where they're currently are staying or working. And that's not how reality works. If you are going to live somewhere, learn the people's culture, learn what's accepted and not accepted and adjust yourself accordingly. People always wanna scream the word racism, but they don't analyze their self before moving or going to someone else's culture. Don't scream racism if you do not. Try to learn b people's culture. That's a big problem with black Americans. An actual black Africans from Africa. Me being black and hispanic, we understand that. Us black hispanics don't tout racism Wherever we go, because we tried to adjust ourselves to that country's culture.
Healthy racism is a good thing. It protects the people and the country. The people already have social problems already to deal with. Having to hurt foreigners hurt us even more. Its better to just visit but don't overstay.

Wow man. I knew that certain Japanese were systematically racist to foreigners, but to do all of that to you is outright insane!! Hope that changes soon as there's the new generation that stands up to foreigners.
If you move to another country you shouldn't bring your culture with you you should to learn how to fit in there culture!! Discrimination happens in every country because the culture are different..And I'm a black man son of a Portuguese man a black woman from Angola.
@@stressfreesasaki6570 i don't know what you mean by when you said your bro shine your eyes pretending to love mme doesn't mean love it's fake smile what do you mean by that i need you to be more specific so i can understand what your talking about what you mean by that i'm just not sure what you means that's all
@@stressfreesasaki6570 do you mean that there is no such thing as not all are racist that you mean that all are racist or do you mean not all are racist?
There are racists everywhere, & obviously good & bad people everywhere. But from my experience Japanese are probably less racist than Westerners overall. In Western Countries I find that minorities often times tend to be the least racist. But again, because there are generally fewer of them, so they know how other minorities feel & also often times tend to share more similar or closer values. Japan often times ends up being slightly less racist than Western Countries, because it's their own country whereas they would be minorities everywhere else. Just my perception anyways.
@Xander, doesn't matter, he can visit anywhere he wants. Some Japanese restaurants even discriminate against Whites. John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Mark 1:15 - “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
He’s African, BLM is a black American thing. That is two different tribes. It’s like comparing Italians to Irish people. They are both “white” but they are not the same people.
It’s not allowed to touch peoples anywhere in the world specially in Japan, of course You will definitely get fired، yes I agree with you have racist in Japan but it’s not agrisive…
Sad the dislike button doesn't exist anymore, bro your enjoying your life in Japan. Niaja life is no where close and that even with out the Bullshit racism you claim. If something isn't objective enough that you can point out conclusive factual evidence. Then your just a talker and should relax and let the japanese be Japanese.

If one does not understand Japanese then the discrimination will be out of this World and globe.
If your not Japanese your just a gaijin makes no difference what colour you are.
Finally! An honest video. People like to say because they love anime and samurai that Japan is a "Utopia" when in reality the country is very racist, classist,ableist, xenophobic and sexist.
but look how safe and civilised it is compared to Africa lmao import the third world and you will get it
If he behaves like that I won't want him in my country.

I was correcting you there.
To sum up, Japanese like able person whether foreigner or Japanese. Or ,good person or not. Depends on person.
Dea is serious racism in Asia. Even in d social media platform.
Also they hate being discriminated in the west also
I'm not Black person so I can go to Japan.🙄
It doesn’t matter what color you have..
You can still be discriminated even if you're White or any race. Even other Asians from different areas or countries can be discriminated in Japan.
@@TomboyGamerGal Nope! Mostly BLACK PEOPLE are the one always discriminated.
