I mean, 外人差別 literally means foreigner discrimination, it’s literally western racism. Like what’s the difference between a Englishman hating the Polish and a Japanese man hating the Koreans? What about the Islamophobia wanting to send them all back, or the southern US border wall. It’s all the same shit you just dressed it up with a bit of meaningless nuance that really isn’t nuance. It just takes a different form.
One of my first experiences in Japan living with a host family was my host mother whispering to my white ass about how the tourists ahead of us were Chinese and that they were ‘dirty.’ I didn’t get it back then as a 17 year old, but looking back I can absolutely see their biases against me as well, they just didn’t openly flaunt them like they did against the Chinese. It’s all racism just in different forms.
FWIW I think there is a difference between Japanese racism targeting Koreans/Chinese as opposed to that of the English hating the Polish, because of the history of Japanese colonization of those countries and the fact that the Japanese fascists were never removed from power after the war.
