just as chauvinist about their cuisine as they are racist

Edit: Just want to clarify, Japanese is easily one of my favourite cuisines. Thai's probably #1 for me though.

Edit2: Sauce

    Nobody here said they were more racist than the West

    My opinion on Japan is based on meeting and knowing dozens of Japanese people during my life, hearing racist statements, and reading about Japan's history and current attitudes.

    For a while I was taught Japanese by a Japanese man who told a good friend of mine that Koreans are stupid and Chinese people are dirty. He said it very casually because my friend was also Japanese.

    Most Japanese people I know are really nice and don't express any overt racism. The same is true of most people.

      I've personally known quite a few black folks who said racist things against Asians, yet I don't make blanket statements about how black people are racist

      Either I'm wrong, and black people are racist, or you're wrong and you shouldn't smear 100+ million people based on the tiny sample size of "dozens".

      Which one is it?

        Holy shit do you think Austria is racist

        You said my opinion was based on fucking white youtubers. It's based on reading about what Japan has done, what they continue to do, and their attitudes which I have also seen first hand. They were literally the most imperialist racist country outside of Europe, built basically a form of fascism and codified racism and slavery, and then hastily threw a bunch of pacifism on top of it less than one lifetime ago. There are huge problems with nationalism and genocide denialism existing to this day.

        If it doesn't meet your criteria for "a racist country" then I don't know what the fuck does, and you have some incredibly inadequate goals for Western countries.

        "Smear 100 million people" lol fuck off
