If you truthfully, honest to god intended to call the people I associate with crackers rather than me, then I suggest that the issue is with your writing rather than my reading.

Perhaps it's true that Japan gets called racist undeservedly by white ex-pats, but my impression of Japan comes largely from my relative who immigrated to Japan for work, media from the likes of Singapore's CNA, various Chinese new media, and independent journos like Asian Boss. While I understand that these sources are inevitably biased, especially the Chinese sources, these claims cannot simply be rejected as "yellow peril 2"

While it's true that the "Asians are the most racist" narrative is being used as an instrument used to discriminate against Asians, but that doesn't justify the willful ignorance of Japan's ethnocentrism.

A bold assumption that turned out to be wrong, I bring up the discrimination to the Chinese and Filipino foreign worker community because I am Chinese and I have many Filipino friends, it's natural that these issues would be more relevant to my mind than the issue with the Vietnamese community. Additionally, here you clearly acknowledge that Japan has poor race relations with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Filipino workers where you were implying that this was not true in an earlier comment.

I agree that you will find racists in every country out there, but I believe that Japan is different. Japan has a historical record of being uncompromisingly ethnocentric and as someone whose family suffered through the consequences of this ethnocentrism, I believe that I am reasonably suspicious of the state that inherited much of its administration from the Japanese Empire.
