Anons who have lived in Japan, I've heard that japan is very xenophobic and generally hard to break into socially. I've heard it vaguely mentioned that there will somehow always be a stigma towards you for your being a foreigner. What's your experience?
Expats and social life in Japan?
Are you that white guy with a moustache who posted several selfies asking if japanese women would like you?
>japan is very xenophobic
It's meme.
We are just afraid of foreigners. I don't hate it.
I don't like you asian people.
The Jew fear the Samurai
Answer me , are you that white guy with mustache?
I'm 100% japanese and they didnt like me.
They literally hate all foreigners. Women fuck foreigners, but only the ones that were rejected by japanese men
you're not Japanese, macaco
What did people say and do to you? And I'm guessing you grew up speaking the language?
1. They will never tell you what they think
2. They have no interests other than working and weather. If you start talking to them about politics they'll tell you "yeah I agree" to avoid the conversation
3. You are the zoo animal. Nobody would and will take you seriously even if you were born in Japan and speak the island tongue fluently
4. Be prepared to not get help from the police or people if something happens. You are a nobody, why would they search for the guy who stole your *thing*.
5. You are gonna earn 15-25% less than a japanese in the same position would
6. Landlords don't trust white devils and are trying to avoid you. You won't find a good offer without paying hundreds of shekels to agent
7. Meat is like 2x times more expensive than it is in the US, same goes for veggies
8. Everything that people say about their work culture is actually even worse. I've been taking unpaid OTs for a month in a row because my colleagues were doing the same and were afraid of being fired
9. Japan is really overcrowd
10. If you are taller than 6 feet you WILL NOT fit in Japan. Say goodbye to your forehead. I'm 6'3 and I had to bend my head down to not hit the subway train ceiling
11. You will never become japanese. They will always think you are a tourist, that's why they always ask you "when do you leave?"
