[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But aren't Japanese polite people? If they're racist, they're not openly racist are they?[/quote]

Yes, they are.

Being 'polite' has nothing to do with whether or not they are racist. They relegate all foreigners or minorities to poor/ghetto districts, inter-marriage of race or ethnicity but especially both is heavily frowned upon, beauty is to be the palest upon palest snow-white as possible and if you're not that - screw you, and Japanese media is openly discriminatory.

BTW their discrimination isn't just again non-Asians, the Japanese hate ANYONE that isn't Japanese and wants to live and/or mix with them. I have a Korean-American friend with a half-white son who is constantly facing judgement - so much so that she's coming back to the U.S. because the Japanese a) don't like that she's 'foreign', b) don't like that she isn't fluent in the language (but her son is), and c) think anything she does that is counter-culture to Japanese practices is wrong.

Here's a lovely shopkeeper advertisement that says 'Japanese Only'. It was specifically known to target Chinese consumers in the area - but you get the idea.

[b]How about whites in Japan? I would imagine they be worshipped?[/quote][/b]

Nope.  I have two friends who are white with Japanese spouses.  One couple lives in the US and the other lives in Japan. Both have children.  The family that live in the US have normal, American family lives.  The family that lives in Japan have to send their mixed race kids to an international school because of extreme bullying and ostracization of their half white kids.  Like a pp said, it’s pure Japanese or nothing.[/quote]
