Japanese xenophobia is fucking wild. It’s stuck in the 1950s with how harebrained and brazen it is. You watch any YouTuber of note that moved to Japan, and every time housing discrimination, people ignoring them even when they speak Japanese, or general refusal of service comes up, they all get real clammy and dismissive about it, but it’s obviously a huge problem.

Japanese media empire is terrifying, like they genuinely had the whole world brainwashed to view them as this heaven on earth. I mean America also have a massive media empire, yet most pro-America VOA types still occasionally jokes about Americans being fat, uncultured, and trigger happy.
