How do you handle people who are "anti-Japanese" (fixed thread)

[Dogen Z]

Aren't they racists? Even those who attribute past atrocities to modern Japanese? Then they should be treated as racists.

This racism seems pervasive in varying degrees. If you encounter it in Japan (and it is here among the foreign population), you should actively try to persuade these people to leave because they invariably cause problems for the rest of us with their ill will.

Racist, or worse, yes.

Dogen, I find such comments very racist.

If I understand your position and questions, I am interested to see how Mazin responds, because there are at least two alternatives to these types of comments from a brand new identity on this forum:

a. There is a trolling intention to stir up conversation needlessly, with a lot of hurt and pain attached

b. There is some form of negative political gain going on, such as ... intentional attempt at dividing Japanese and American participants on this forum.

Americans absolutely, positively have removed these kinds of comments from their vernacular.

Is this individual an American? I don't think so.

How about this comment...

"We positively love them compared to Iran and North Korea."

Question for all readers?
Who in America hates Iranians? Nobody.

Who in America hates North Koreans? Nobody.

We might despise their government actions, but we have absolutely nothing against the people of Iran and North Korea. This is a very purposeful statement, but not from an American citizen, I strongly suggest.

Is North Korea rattling the sabres again?

Wow-wee?

How coincidental. New guy shows up spouting anti Japanese comments, or is it my very sincerely flawed imagination?

"SEOUL, South Korea – A badly damaged North Korean patrol ship retreated in flames Tuesday after a skirmish with a South Korean naval vessel along their disputed western coast, South Korean officials said.
The first naval clash in seven years broke out just a week before President Barack Obama is due to visit Seoul, raising suspicions the North's communist regime is trying to rachet up tensions to gain a negotiating advantage.,,,"
I promise you, I am not sure of the "coincidence", but ..."things that make you go hmmmmmmm"
