How do Japanese view the "ghetto" lifestyle

[TokyoTom]

Hello. I've asked a lot of questions about how Japanese view certain lifestyles. Just wondering, how do the Japanese view the thug culture? Do they consider it dishonorable and shameful? Are the ones who act like it treated as outcasts? I hope that they are.

Your average person will try to avoid contact with them. In a confrontation, most will concede and walk away even if the other party was in the wrong. Generally , they are not highly regarded in today's society. BTW, your comapny can be finned if it knowingly does business with the mafia.

I thought he was asking about American thug culture. Goodness knows the Japanese spend enough time and money trying to imitate it, at least the fashion.

I noticed that on Takeshita St. in Harajuku. Quite a few of "thug" clothing and gear shops... Some of the girls had some thug clothing on as well. Thought it was a bit odd but if that's what they are into then whatever.

I'm moving to North Korea. Japan is ****** and it's downfall is only a matter of time. **** American culture.
