Being a middle eastern man in Japan sucks.
People I meet for the first time seem to be friendly and helpful if I shave my beard. I get weird looks as soon as they know where I'm from.
I get bombarded with questions about wars, politics and sexual equality(which is funny because Japanese people should be the last ones to talk about this)
I'm considered tall(at least in Japan) and I have a white skin. Sometimes I tell random people I meet that I'm from America and I can see their eyes shining, looking up to me and at that moment I hate Japan more.
Being hated for my looks or skin color would hurt me less. This country makes me think about suicide lately.
I know most of the posters here are in their 20's but I gotta ask. Did you ever have a similar experience? Or do you know anyone who had a similar experience? Did your ancestors went through the same hardships?
Where my shitskinned thirdy homies at? Feel free to share your thoughts.
