    guess which country has one of the toughest immigration policies on earth?

    Lots of them? Like the US, or Canada perhaps? Japan is ridiculously easy to move to if you have a college degree. As long as you can maintain some sort of job they’ll just keep approving your visa. And if you get married to a local it’s way easier than say a US citizen trying to get a green card for your spouse from the states.

    And by outsiders you meant tourists outside of tourist areas? I guess there would be people who’d be uncomfortable about interacting with foreigners they can’t communicate with, but if I try to imagine a similar scenario in the states it seems just as likely to have the same outcome. Someone in a hick town walking into a diner and speaking broken English isn’t much more likely to be welcomed with open arms, so I guess we should say Americans hate any and all outsiders?

    Even when I was traveling when my Japanese was shit I didn’t experience any of what you’re talking about. There’s still definitely issues with black racism, but again, that’s pretty true in the US as well, no?
