I've encountered people who have lived their entire adult lives in Japan right here on this site. Ever hear of getting married before?

  Ever done any nontrivial reading? Beyond memes and one-liners that you think are clever? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Japan Imagine seriously claiming Japan is non racist and a good place for non Japanese to prosper (maybe white folks can). https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498513920/Embedded-Racism-Japans-Visible-Minorities-and-Racial-Discrimination https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498513920/Embedded-Racism-Japans... > Consequently, businesses around Japan display “Japanese Only” signs, denying entry to all 'foreigners' on sight. Employers and landlords routinely refuse jobs and apartments to foreign applicants. Japanese police racially profile 'foreign-looking' bystanders for invasive questioning on the street. Legislators, administrators, and pundits portray foreigners as a national security threat and call for their segregation and expulsion. Japanphiles will sing and dance around this discrimination.

    I went to school there as a kid and got told to my face that foreigners smell like hamburger and milk. Did I ever deny what you're saying? Nah. Anyways interacting with people like you putting stuff in people's mouths is insufferable, I suggest not doing that. I'll elect to go a step further than your criticisms in that I think it's beyond racism in that country. They can be kind of mean over there even within each other. It's a culture where bullying is super common and getting along there is understanding that people will probably not meet the average western ideals of "niceness" in general. But hey at least they won't steal from you
