Not just China, Japan too. No level of language fluency will get you accepted into the Japanese society. If you don’t look Japanese, you’ll always be a foreigner. You can even be born part Japanese and if you look mostly white then you’re still on the outside.
- roneen31 8y agoHow did Japan came to the discussion in the first place? You wanted to add a random fact you read on the internet? And to add my own opinion, for the people that know you, you are considered one and the same. Yes people who don't know you will assume you are a foreigner due to your looks, but why do you think this is a Japanese and Chinese thing only? Do you really think an asian man is seen as local in the first glance in Sweden or Ethiopia? Not everywhere is America.
- Markoff 8y agowell it's known fact Japanese are even bigger racists than Chinese, although i would not call it for most of the Chinese really racism, more life ignorance and lack of knowledge or just curiosity, for sure I experienced more racist/xenophobic behavior in few months in Prague than in years in Beijing, so in hindsight Chinese are not really that racists, which still doesn't negate fact that you will be always outsider not accepted and feel uncomfortable after few years
