I won’t pretend to know about everywhere in Asia but the number of Google Map reviews in Tokyo complaining about stores “employed by foreigners” can be jarring

That’s xenophobia not racism. Correct me if I’m wrong.

In the case of Japanese, my experiences tell me it comes from the same place. At least with older generations. They don’t want foreigners tainting their genepool because it would be a detriment to it.

I started dating a Japanese girl in highschool, her parents found out I was white and forbade her fro. Seeing me. “We are very traditional” was what her father said.

Now if my daughter brings home a black guy and I insist that its “traditional” that she doesnt date him because he isnt white…

Unpopular Opinion

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
