Are Japanese people really that racist?

@ k&s: you call other people “ignorant”, when really you’re also sort of ignorant. Japanese pop culture sort of idolizes caucasian features and celebrities, and that translates into business and politics. The US has had a huge impact on Japan. And yes, anime does feature “caucasian” characteristics. Big eyes, prominent brow bone, curved noses, t&a (coming from an asian, it’s just true). Ever wonder why getting the “double-lid” plastic eye surgery is insanely popular in Korea/Japan?

And if you think because asians treat someone well they like them, you really don’t know anything about asian culture. lol

Granted a lot of asians accept whites more than blacks/hispanics, but they’d still be disappointed if they saw their daughter/son marry a white rather than another asian. Asian parents would even be disappointed if their kids married someone not of their specific ethnicity (i.e. Korean marrying Japanese).

Overall, every country is racist, but I feel comfortable saying that Korea and Japan are more racist than others. The ethnocentric nature of Japan is a huge part of their culture… it’s sort of dumb to try and defend them from things that are true.
