I kinda thing that Japan takes...Haha I know right!? I kinda thing that Japan takes racism to a whole other level. Lol. <br />Oh, you're bf is half swede half japanese? That's nice! :) <br /><br />Japanese people are in some ways living in their own little world. And therefor they find things shocking when they go out to see "the real world". <br /><br />I'm happy that Sweden is an openminded country (most of the time). And that we don't judge people by their ethnicity (again most of the time). <br /><br />When I was visiting some relatives of my husband, for a big family dinner, the neighbour next door shouted out loud "Gaijin!!!!!". I was like wait whaaat!? Although this was countryside of Japan. I still don't find it acceptable. Japanese people often like to excuse themselves by saying "shouganai" about these kind of incidents. But whenever they are the victims, or foreigners do a honest mistake, it's all of the sudden unacceptable. <br /><br />Japan, the land of double morals. Lol!<br />Amanda https://www.blogger.com/profile/01232703457460853795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3935873729147114264.post-36894225838908005462014-05-04T15:05:22.994+02:002014-05-04T15:05:22.994+02:00Yeah, welcome to Japan. I've heard a lot of it...Yeah, welcome to Japan. I've heard a lot of it being sort of racist. My bf is half-Japanese and half-Swede, and both his parents now live in Sweden.<br />My bf told me that when his dads new Japanese wife was in Sweden to visit, and she went to the supermarket, people talked to her in Swedish, and she was like "Why? It's obvious I'm not Swedish!", and that is a great example of how people don't get treated differently based on apperance in Sweden, since we have so many immigrants from all over the world. It's a good thing, and more countries should take that in consideration, that just because you look Asian does not mean you can't speak Swedish when in Sweden (and so on.) :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
