Are Japanese people really that racist?

<p>

The point, however, is that this was an active form of discrimination that is less present in other societies.</p>

<p>This is, at least to some extent, contrasted with someone living in the US or another more “heterogeneous” society. I know, I know, we have discrimination here as well, and blah blah blah, but I rarely see Americans (at least in major cities) freak out and act like there’s a werewolf standing next to them if a Japanese person steps on a train car.

<p>And my point is that merely being pointed at or given curious looks isn’t really discrimination.</p>

<p>I’ve gotten the same traveling the rural parts of France, the Czech Republic, parts of Africa, Mexico/Latin America and even parts of the US.</p>

<p>It’s a common complaint of white expats – since they don’t have the same experience that minorities do w/ these issues.</p>
