OK, gotcha!
But seriously, where are they, though? They have to go out to town now and then, don't they? I've never thought about it much before now, but it does seem strange to be able to actually see so few black women here...I mean, I've met more people from Saudi Arabia than I have black women of all nationalities combined!
Interesting....
But why do you never see black women doing the Eikaiwa circuit? Just regular people who are coming to Japan for the first time. Do you know what I mean? People who have really no idea to expect from Japan but come for the experience or whatever like you see so many white people do?
It's because many of them don't really have time to travel because they are bogged down with kids, relationships or other activities. Also they don't feel comfortable traveling somewhere to work, live or play by themselves. For example if they want to come to Japan to do the eikaiwa thing they would want to come wih one of their best girlfriends, but usually all of their girlfriends are in some sort of situation and it is rare to see two black women who are completely free to do what they want to do. And black women feel stronger around other black people. Black men will venture out more because we don't have the baggage that black women do. I mean black women don't necessarily have more baggage but they seem to create unnecessary problems and concerns for themselves. Thus this keeps them from doing what I did; just jump on a plane and give themselves two weeks to find a job in Japan.
