    The racism in Japan isn’t outward, they keep it to themselves. You wouldn’t even notice it if you went there as a tourist, since they stay polite. The “no gaijin allowed” places are rare unless you want to visit a certain type of establishment 😉 Japan has systemic racism against ethnic Chinese citizens, but the average Japanese person isn’t really racist to Chinese people and if they are it’s from ignorance rather than hatred. Japan is one of the top foreign destinations for tourists from China. It wouldn’t be if Chinese people weren’t welcome.

    You’d have a tougher time in South Korea. Where they actually say racist shit to your face.


  • Yeah now it’s not. But in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it was considered that in many places where baggy shorts was the norm. Like you said it’s rich boy yacht clothing. But if you weren’t a rich preppy boy and you walked around like that in rural areas or in the inner cities people would think you ain’t straight. Good for you that the circle of people you’ve been in weren’t super homophobic.
