You make some excellent points.<br /><br />Now, I don't think that most Japanese are racist. I think that many are just not used to foreigners. Most Japanese probably look up to Westerners more than they should, in fact.<br /><br />But it's true that there are a dwindling number of establishments which outright prohibit foreigners (politely, of course). They are unafraid of being sued or anything.<br /><br />I think that in America, there is much more recourse to right a wrong that you've suffered due to racism, while in other countries, that might not be the case. Also, in other countries, racism shows up in other ways which Americans might not recognize straight away as racism.<br /><br />Finally, as you say, there might be racists in America, but the outspoken anti-racists are always around in large numbers, too. In some other countries, neither group may be easy to spot.<br /><br />Good post!Odraciryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689653486814721709noreply@blogger.com
