Fucking lol.
Yeah, cultural relativism, but also it’s pretty fucking straightfoward.
Yeah, “racism exists in different contexts in different places” thanks for that genius insight.
They’re just racist against other Asians but it’s fine bc they’re basically all the same
-guy who totally isn’t just a white chauvinist
Just according to keikaku.
TN: keikaku means plan
What a staggering insight, that systems of racism and prejudice depend on the context of nations.
it’s only gaijinsabetsu if it’s from the Ehmie region of japan, otherwise it’s just sparkling racism
White supremacists today literally despise Ashkenazim Jews, the Irish, and Eastern Europeans writing them off as “lesser” whites. What are they talking about?
Guy who wrote the community note:
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.
Japanese fascists were never removed from power after the war
Don’t ask Shinzo Abe what his grandfather was doing in the 30s.
British imperialists also weren’t removed.
black people don’t have to worry about being shot on sight anywhere in Asia
another L for crackers
The only thing unique about Japan is their fetish to concider every aspect of their existence as unique.
And even that isn’t unique about them.
Now take that and amplify it with jackass weebs who adopt that mindset like a born again Christian convert
They probably do this for the global slave trade too.
No these are not slaves in the typical way you expect. You see in their culture slavery is acceptable and even the “middle class” can be slavers making it no longer slavery.
racism with japanese characteristics
very different bro
wonder what the context for that context note is
Xenophobia is not unique to Japan…
White people pretending that Rising Sun was a documentary and that they are Japanese culture experts like Sean Connery
I hate that I know exactly what Twitter post this note is on without looking
Is it the restaurant with the sign in English and Chinese saying we’re full but if you can read the line of Japanese text please come in?
Yep
