<p>I’m an american and have been living in japan for the past year and a half. I would say that the Japanese can be quite racist, especially towards Koreans and Chinese. Even my mom’s private students (she teaches english) have said, straight-up, that they don’t like Koreans. I have korean friends here who definitely feel at odds with the Japanese.</p>
<p>I think that the japanese people’s racism, though, dates back about a hundred years, to the conflicts they had when they colonized korea and had a war with China.</p>
<p>Racism towards african americans…that’s probably because most of the black people here are mobsters from Nigeria who run the bars and get in gang-fights.</p>
