a lot of people don't see it, but out of the first world at least, japan is pretty racist. sure, they "idolize" other cultures, but they sure as hell won't want you to live in their country permanently or let you marry their sister. the citizens there are something like 99.x japanese, the remainder are korean, and even they receive stigma for not being pure. |
I agree with most of this. My friend Yuko came to Canada from Japan to work and go to school (about 2 years ago). She fell in love with an Italian guy, and she was afraid to tell her father. He found out last year when he came to visit Yuko. He got soooo upset that she was with a non-Jap, that he pretty much disowned her. =/
(now they are speaking to eachother again) |

haha, he should go on one of their wacky game shows as a rite of passage or something... just kidding, it sucks when stuff like that happens
an interesting thing one of my sociology profs mentioned is that even with all the xenophobia and what not, almost 100% of japanese born or mostly raised in north america marry outside of their ethnic group, whereas others like the portuguese are the exact opposite. |

What do you mean by the title t-man? Experience from people watching TV and media are very different from people who actually have travelled and experienced the culture from themselves. The other question is... is the country racist, or it's people? |
I mean are the people in the country racist, like how accepting are the people towards foreigners within their own country. |

I dont think we can single out USA because it is so big and people have very different opinions depending on where you live and the culture than is in that area.
For instance, there is a lot of intergrating in the NE, and I rarely never seen any problems (not to say there are NONE of course)...... but go down south, and the white folks have the black folks heads on sticks just for fun. its serious down there and really scary if you ask me. :nervous: |

there are racists among all nations.
All nations have institutionalized racism. It takes on different forms, and plays out in different ways. Racism in apartheid SA is different from xenophobic British ways which is different from European nations trying to protect their ethnicity. |
