My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(sociological_concept)

Keeping up appearances at all costs accumulates moral debt and leads to monumental failures down the line. Everyone knows the senile boss is about to make another mistake, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so everyone shuts up until bankruptcy and suicides.

One might assume they aren’t, since they asked someone to clarify. How nice of you to laugh at them instead of answering the question.

Live in Japan and seconded. It can be sweet, but making it all sweet is just missing out on so much.

I wonder how the rates of violent crimes suffered by asians in Americas/Europe compare to violent crimes suffered by white people in China, Korea, or Japan…

remember when covid happened and asians were gettin jumped every week? when’s the last time we heard about a white guy getting beat up in Asia? maybe getting scammed/pick-pocketed in southeast asia or getting caned in Singapore during the Clinton era?

I’m not saying asian people don’t have bigotry or ignorance, but it plays out very differently

You’re not wrong what that doesn’t mean racism doesn’t exist in Asia .When it comes to racism, two Wongs be don’t make a white.
