What's "gaijin"?

If I were japanese I would be insulted by that. Maybe I am disrupting the thread, but it is threads like these that, I think, disrupt Japan Forums.

Everyone discriminates in one way or another. What you're trying to say is that there's no discrimination in Japan - and even if I've never been to Japan, I'm well aware of the fact that there's discrimination all over the world (and Japan is no exception). My question does not imply that Japanese are racists...you have a serious perception problem. My question was a general one. Discrimination happens WITHIN a single race or nationality as well. Discrimination is not entirely synonymous with the word "racism".
In fact, there are all forms of discrimination incl. gender, sexuality, wealth, social status, etc.
Instead of flaming, you guys should try being informative without straying away from the question. If you can't or don't want to answer the question, you're better off moving on to another topic (i.e. try to be "useful" somewhere else). |
