This is a common thing in modern post WWII Asian cultures that we tend to discriminate towards our own skin. Tonight I walked into a store right before they would close. The stuff was still serving western customers while treat me with bad attitude because I deferred her leaving. This has been the first bad experience I have encountered in Japan but it was kinda a shame. I don’t understand Japanese otherwise I would like to say: fuck off and don’t bullshit with me.
Here is the rank in every Asian countries heart: Western whites, western people, my country, other Asians.
It’s a joke with some truth in it.
It’s not my fault but it always feels horrible to be treated differently simply because of my appearance. I know that 99.99% Japanese are not like this but I am more nervous when talking to people on the street today.
