No, don't worry. We're ALL racist. xD

Just kidding. :]

Japan is essentially a homogeneous society. America is made up of people from all around the world. To say there is a place where Caribbeans live in Japan as proof of how accepting Japan is of difference and proving how America isn't is the most upside-down thinking I have ever heard. I dare say not a country or ethnicity or religion in the world does not have some community of some sort somewhere in the US. Including Caribbeans.

Maybe you should look into that then. It's a thought. From what I've heard from my friend, his brother lives in Japan and they have those types of communities. Your word against his. :)

I'll be the judge of that. LOL. When I go. If it's true, then i still won't care. :)

Two people, a white person and a black person, do the same crimes like robbing a store with a gun. They both get caught. The white guy gets maybe 5 years and is on probation after being released while the black guy gets twice that amount without parole. You're telling me you never noticed it before? :confused:

Have you ever been a victim of legal irresponsibility, or known some one directly who has?

How is their education system unfair for you?

I know the education system in the US is racist, but I didn't think it'd bother you. To get into some universities, people who are not white get an extra 5 free points on their entry exam. The reason is they usually score lower, and the schools were looking bad being full of whites.

Pretty unfair to any white kids who scored better than others, but, yet still can't go. Yup, racist.

... WTF is going on in this thread? Posts dissappearing. Anyway, if you care about racism, you'll notice it more in Asia. So I'd think twice if you can't handle America.

But you live in America, right? You know there are ethic communities all over America, including Caribbean, right? I am not sure what your point is.

So you don't like America because of racism, but if there was racism in Japan you wouldn't care?

Hanging up my hat on this one. Enjoy.

Yes. This is where I got really confused.

I'm sure I'll like my life in Japan more than my life in America. And so what if i say Japan accepts people who are different? I know they do. They have communities over there where the residents are of carribean background. If that's not an acceptance of differences, then what is? :mad:

You do realize that the United States is an immigrant country, right?

No. She believes America is a white country who stomps all colored people into the ground with their feet after stepping in doggy-doo. Of course, Obama is simply a white based plot cover up...

Do you have a sister on this forum?
As far as Japan, I have never been as discriminated against as much before as when I was living there (I'm white). Not all are that way, especially younger Japanese, but it is just their culture so I didn't take it personal. The nice thing is most of the discrimination is just because you are a foreigner and not skin color. Although a lot of blacks lately, mostly from Africa, have been involved in crimes and they also believe TV shows from America that show them as gang members so I think this is having more negative views of blacks in Japan. When my mother in law came to America to visit, she was afraid of them because she had seen a show about black people as gangsters on TV and she though all of them acted this way.
