Why is it weird for a Japanese person to walk with a black person?

Yes, Most Def.

Racism is everywhere, it could be worse in some parts of world than it is in the U.S.

Now, these rumors about how japanese people view blacks is beginning to disturb me. I'm not trying to start anything here, but how do japanese people view blacks.

I would really like to know. :?
 
In my opinion, racism is a manifestation of the fear and loathing resulting from ignorance. Individually, it can be overcome through one person learning to appreciate the humanity of others. Collectively, it becomes more difficult when the ignorance within a group thrives on itself.
 
"I would really like to know."
there are about five or six threads with the same topic at jref
it gets asked about once a semester it seems like, along with various other ethnicities used in the place of "black"
and as posted in those same threads (and within this one as well), they are the same as anybody not of japanese blood (excepting the b or the indigenous a)

"Do you hate your relative simply because he's white? or is it for some other reason? Yes, there isn't a rule against hating your parents, but it seems rather strange when the reason is "They're white", rather thatn "They left me and my mother when I was a kid to hold up a drug habit", or something along those lines."

Did I say I hated my relative(s) because they're white? No, I did not. I don't care that they're white, it's how they act.

"Y'know, I get real mad when people go "You have to know more about my life" as an excuse for their behavior. And you obviously aren't over it, so quit acting like that."

Um, I AM over it. It was a facet that lasted all of about 3 days. And, if you must know, I've gone through the typical hero-to-zero scenario, where I was leading a fine life until I moved to this god-forsaken city. So, there, I hope you're happy I told you unnecessary-to-know info. Of course, if it's not enough, I couldn't care less. Either way, I'm over that infantile situation.

"Then specify that next time, rather than making a blanket statement. Think before you type. And, just for the record, there are bad people everywhere, regardless of race. My friends and I have met some pretty mean hispanic gangs around where I live (Texas), but I don't go making a blanket statement saying "I hate all Hispanics", simply because I've had some bad experiences in the past. That's just childish."

I suppose the word "exaggeration" perplexes you. I don't know every single Caucasian within the state of Georgia, so why would you assume I meant so? And, the reason why I made a statement so tribal is simple because it's a recurring theme. I may not know every Caucasian within the state or city for that matter, but humans like to assume, even if their assumption is off.

"Well, you were talking about video games being made in Japan. That was taken to mean that the Japanese invented video games, rather than just rejuvenating the industry after the early 1980's and the video game crash."

OK, I'm still behind on this. All I was saying was THE FIRST DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION ARCADE GAME CREATED BY KONAMI ORIGINATED IN JAPAN BEFORE ANY OTHER COUNTRY! I'm not saying the Japanese WERE THE VERY FIRST RACE TO CREATE A VIDEO GAME OR CONSOLE, I'm saying THEY CREATED THE DANCING EXTRAVAGANZE KNOWN AS DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION.

"but you're not in Japan. You're in America. So quit acting like you're a freedom fighter of some kind."

How am I acting like I'm a freedom fighter? Because I said I stand up for African American's rights often? What is with you people? I don't literally go picketting on the side-walk with signs reading,"Help our poor Africans!" Just, every now and then when the topic comes up I just give a pithy point-of-view.

"Why do you use the term, anyway? If I knew you, I'd be afraid to take you out in public for fear of you offending someone. Just watch your mouth."

Because it's not a term. It is not only an associative term used AMONG MY FRIENDS ONLY, but it is used to make sentences sound more correct.

"I'm sorry, but you started making racial comments, as well as other offensive and arrogant remarks that would more than likely piss alot of people off. We're not ganging up on you. We're just defending ourselves by refuting your remarks. Would you be happier if we just concurred and said "You're right. All Caucasians should die." and went home and commited suicide? Well, go somewhere else then, because most NORMAL people don't tolerate that."

Oh what, because I said I dislike Caucasians all the caucasians within the forum have to get in my face? You know, all I stated was my personal dislike; that's it. Notice I gave no examples as to why, unelss you count my scenario of them "picking in on chicks." I didn't say anything over-the-edge or racy, just that I disliked white people. Um, I don't want to be right you fool, I'm just saying that I dislike white people interacting with the asian opposite sex. Of course, I've grown past that now, but even so, you have a huge megalomaniacal problem. Well, I guess it'd be easier to call you blind. I see I can no longer safely give my opinion without someone complaining. It offends you huh? How do you think I feel having to quote all you guys who won't just go elsewhere?

"Oh, so you know the majority of Caucasians within the state of Georgia. Okay...I'm guessing by that statement you meant the majority of Caucasians you've come in contact with while in Georgia."

Nothing gets by you huh sleuth?

"Kei_Shugojin basically said what I was thinking...except for that ending. That was a bit extreme, but I got the point. You can't expect people to just nod and agree to everything you say. Besides, what made this a one-sided exploiting war? I don't remember waging war against you or anyone else here...care to explain that one?"

dude, what are your problems? I didn't ask for anyone to agree. I stated my opinion, not as if it were fact or as if to persuade or gain followers. Quit misconstruing things so badly. I don't much like being framed -_-. Oh yeah, one sided = in my favor ;)

Now to get back on topic, no, there isn't anything wrong with you hanging out with a Japanese person.

Then why did you admit to hating your caucasian relatives? Why didn't you specify that?

What is so friggin bad about your city that you have to act like it's a vice? Everybody has problems, okay? Not just you. You sound like the rich kid who's dad lost most of his money and is now complaining about having to live in the Blue-collar family lifestyle.

"Then specify that next time, rather than making a blanket statement. Think before you type. And, just for the record, there are bad people everywhere, regardless of race.

I know the word "exaggeration" very well. I was pointing out that you couldn't make a blanket statement about every caucasian within the state of Georgia, even though that's exactly what you were doing. How you missed what I'm saying, I don't know. :eek:

"Well, you were talking about video games being made in Japan. That was taken to mean that the Japanese invented video games, rather than just rejuvenating the industry after the early 1980's and the video game crash."

I'm not saying the Japanese WERE THE VERY FIRST RACE TO CREATE A VIDEO GAME OR CONSOLE, I'm saying THEY CREATED THE DANCING EXTRAVAGANZE KNOWN AS DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION.

*ahem* I believe your quote was that the Japanese made video games. Nothing more, nothing less. So quit trying to say that you said something else, okay? It's just childish and it doesn't belong on this forum. By the way, I don't know if you noticed this, but your caps lock button got stuck.

"but you're not in Japan. You're in America. So quit acting like you're a freedom fighter of some kind."

How am I acting like I'm a freedom fighter? Because I said I stand up for African American's rights often? What is with you people? I don't literally go picketting on the side-walk with signs reading,"Help our poor Africans!" Just, every now and then when the topic comes up I just give a pithy point-of-view.

Actually, I was talking about some of your earlier comments, where you kept saying that caucasians treat asians like crap (which wasn't true) when you were part caucasian yourself. And I stated an example. Then you went off trying to change the subject. No, I don't criticize you for standing up for African-American rights. I do the same thing. What I do criticize is your statements about caucasians which are unfounded/untrue. You sounded like a member of the Neo-Nazis trying to make statements about how Jews are dangerous.

"Why do you use the term, anyway? If I knew you, I'd be afraid to take you out in public for fear of you offending someone. Just watch your mouth."

Because it's not a term. It is not only an associative term used AMONG MY FRIENDS ONLY, but it is used to make sentences sound more correct.

Why don't you try using something else, rather than something that was/is a racial insult against the japanese? And how the hell did you make friends? If your social skills are like this in real life, I don't know why anyone would want to be around you, much less befriend you.

"I'm sorry, but you started making racial comments, as well as other offensive and arrogant remarks that would more than likely piss alot of people off. We're not ganging up on you.

I see I can no longer safely give my opinion without someone complaining. It offends you huh? How do you think I feel having to quote all you guys who won't just go elsewhere?

first question: yes. Typically when someone starts making comments about you or your group, the natural instinct is to fight back. You wouldn't sit by while people started making racial comments about Asians, would you? And that wasn't stating a "personal dislike". That was (bum bum BUM!!!) a racial remark, because you put forth an example of a situation where you described one race as generally evil, and the other as generally apathetic/good. That in and of itself was over-the-edge/racy. "I dislike White People" is similar to if someone said "I dislike Asians" or "I dislike Hispanics". And it sounds to me like you are FAR from being past your problems. I don't see how you could call me blind, when you seem to be the bigot here. If you don't like it when people defend themselves against YOUR comments, then you should leave.

"Oh, so you know the majority of Caucasians within the state of Georgia. Okay...I'm guessing by that statement you meant the majority of Caucasians you've come in contact with while in Georgia."

Nothing gets by you huh sleuth?

what's with your attitude, by the way? Did your parents teach you to act this way to everyone else?

"Kei_Shugojin basically said what I was thinking...except for that ending. That was a bit extreme, but I got the point. You can't expect people to just nod and agree to everything you say. Besides, what made this a one-sided exploiting war? I don't remember waging war against you or anyone else here...care to explain that one?"

You know those people on online shooter games, like Halo, who go "I'm gonna kick your ***!" or "I'm so bad!", get into the game, turn out to suck, cop out halfway through, then go "Hey! I was just kidding! I'm not really that good!"? For some reason, I'm reminded of that.

Now to get back on topic, no, there isn't anything wrong with you hanging out with a Japanese person.

Then what is with your last several comments?



My responses are every third paragraph.
 
"Then why did you admit to hating your caucasian relatives? Why didn't you specify that?"

Sorry, I kinda forgot what this was all about, so, I don't recall ever needing to. Sry, I kinda moved on past this.

"What is so friggin bad about your city that you have to act like it's a vice? Everybody has problems, okay? Not just you. You sound like the rich kid who's dad lost most of his money and is now complaining about having to live in the Blue-collar family lifestyle."

It IS a vice. I'm aware everyone has problems. I'm not the Sun King. And, that scenario is only half-right. I moved here because my family had a lack of money, but I still have brains. And, I didn't know I was complaining. Sry, I really kinda moved past this.

"I know the word "exaggeration" very well. I was pointing out that you couldn't make a blanket statement about every caucasian within the state of Georgia, even though that's exactly what you were doing. How you missed what I'm saying, I don't know."

Um, I didn't literally mean every caucasian within the state.

"*ahem* I believe your quote was that the Japanese made video games. Nothing more, nothing less. So quit trying to say that you said something else, okay? It's just childish and it doesn't belong on this forum. By the way, I don't know if you noticed this, but your caps lock button got stuck."

It did? Hmm, it doesn't appear so. Anyways, I may have said that at one time, but last I checked the focus was on Dance Dance Revolution. If you want to focus on the fact that I said the Japanese invented them, go ahead, because I'm not.

"Actually, I was talking about some of your earlier comments, where you kept saying that caucasians treat asians like crap (which wasn't true) when you were part caucasian yourself. And I stated an example. Then you went off trying to change the subject. No, I don't criticize you for standing up for African-American rights. I do the same thing. What I do criticize is your statements about caucasians which are unfounded/untrue. You sounded like a member of the Neo-Nazis trying to make statements about how Jews are dangerous."

So what if I'm part Caucasian? Wait, this is where you're going to call me a hypocrite. Look, I don't recall saying Caucasians treat Asian like crap, but even if I did so what? How would you know? Last I checked you don't live in Augusta, GA. If I'm making the caucasians sound "dangerous" I apologize, but it really seems like you're just demonizing me, something I will not tolerate. I already said I have nothing against Caucasians, except a minor grudge with the(ahem, caution: exaggeration ahead) Caucasians in the city of Georgia.

"Why don't you try using something else, rather than something that was/is a racial insult against the japanese? And how the hell did you make friends? If your social skills are like this in real life, I don't know why anyone would want to be around you, much less befriend you."

Because, I don't know if this is just me, but my friends will use insults as compliments. For example, if I'm defeated at DDR by my friend I will often tell him,"You suck!" Why would I say he sucks if he defeated me? It's more of a compliment. Similarly, when we play Yu-Gi-Oh! often whenever one of us pulls an unforseen maneuver we will chant something to the affect of profanity, but since me and my best friend are Asians, we are often called "slant-eyes" for foiling their plans and often winning the duel. I've already explained that Jap is used to fix sentences, not as a racial slur. Of course, where I live and once lived, there were no Japanese people(there, happy?) to get offended. How did I make friends? Simple; I'm a great guy. I really am. But bonkotsus such as yourself always have to bombard me with stupid comments. I don't walk around screaming racial slurs or profanity or egotistical remarks(yes, bonkotsu was rather egotistical, but what can I say? Kaiba, Seto left an influence on me). It's only among my friends, and generally behind closed doors.

"first question: yes. Typically when someone starts making comments about you or your group, the natural instinct is to fight back. You wouldn't sit by while people started making racial comments about Asians, would you? And that wasn't stating a "personal dislike".

And it sounds to me like you are FAR from being past your problems. I don't see how you could call me blind, when you seem to be the bigot here. If you don't like it when people defend themselves against YOUR comments, then you should leave."

Um, people say they dislike Asians all the time. Yes I don't say anything, because it's their right. I'm not going to beat them up physically or verbally just because they dislike my kind. Now, if they raise too much of an ignorant stink I might teach them a little lesson about Asian importance to American society, but never would I turn a molehill into a mountain about you just because some guys said,"I hate them damn slanted-eyes pickin up our chicks. They're not that great." And, even if I admit I'm over my problem, you still believe I'm behind? Get a clue, to quote Kaiba, Seto. I apologize that I offended you(yet you seem far away from giving me any form of condolenses), but the fact still remains that I dislike the majority of Caucasians that I've met here in the city of Augusta, GA.

"what's with your attitude, by the way? Did your parents teach you to act this way to everyone else?"

I apologize if I like to exploit the stupid. It's something I've been doing for years because jerks like you wouldn't leave me alone. I'm not called the undefeated exploiting champion for nothing. I'm not egotistical, I'm not racist, and I'm not mean. Of course, you probably see absolutely falseness in that, but it's true. I apologize if you think of me likethat, but I cannot stand my ground against stupid people. And, I know "there are stupid people every state and we all dislike people in some way." I'm aware. I'm simply stating I personally do not like those of a fickle mind, take that as you will.

"You know those people on online shooter games, like Halo, who go "I'm gonna kick your ***!" or "I'm so bad!", get into the game, turn out to suck, cop out halfway through, then go "Hey! I was just kidding! I'm not really that good!"? For some reason, I'm reminded of that."

me too, considering I came in here just to post, and then people thinking they're too good tried to make me look like some *****, and now look what's happened. Role reversal.

"Then what is with your last several comments?"

You know, if you're just gonna keep this up I'll let you have this post. Seriously, I'd better not here one more word. I'm sure you'll be more than overjoyed when I leave this particular post, but seriously, for the future, try not to raise such a stink, because it's just that; a stink. Nobody will want to be around you and you'll look bad. It appears that even a fool can't catch a cold.

Nobody will want to be around you and you'll look bad. It appears that even a fool can't catch a cold.

2. Do you think you're the ONLY one put into bad situations? Come on. When people like you start complaining, it offends others who may be /have friends who are in a worse situation and getting by. So what if your family doesn't have that much money? People get by in other ways. And you say you have brains? Then how did you manage to piss everyone else off when (as you've been saying) that wasn't your intent?

3. When you make a blanket statement, that's what you mean. When you say "Every caucasian in the state of Georgia", you mean "Every caucasian in the state of Georgia". This isn't the "good ol' days", pal. People don't look over generalizations that easily.

4. Sounds like you need to make new friends if they're calling you "slant-eyes" for being part Japanese. :eek:

5. Well, it seems to me like you wouldn't just sit by. Judging from your actions here, that's not your personality type. You'd probably get into a heated argument until someone with authority came along, banned you, and then you'd try saying that you were just "stating your opinions in a heated manner". And about that, why don't you find some other generalization to use on those guys. There's obviously something similar between these guys besides skin color. Are they all Klu Klux Klan members or something? I know that I dislike most of the Southern Baptists that I've met based on their attitudes torwards me for being agnostic, but then again, one of my best friends is baptists. So I'm not going to go around saying "I hate all Baptists" because it simply isn't true. To repeat a common phrase (one which I think you should hear more often), "Watch your friggin' mouth!!" Thank you.

6. undefeated exploiting world champion? That sounds like a self-imposed title to me. Egotistical? You sure seem that way. Racist? your comments in one way or another have been geared torwards the theme "caucasians are evil". Mean? You're too weak in mind and grammar skills to be mean on these forums, so definitely not here. I don't know how you are in real life, though, so maybe you just act this way on forums. Plus, there's nothing hard about standing your ground against "stupid people", unless you have an even greater lack of intelligence than the "stupid person" you're arguing against. And I don't think anybody likes those of a fickle mind, so there's no point in that statement.

7. no, no, no. You came in making racial remarks, people fought back, and we turned out to be too much for you to handle. Why don't you go to one of those racial supremacy forums? You'd probably handle yourself much more easily there.

8. You're the one who "raised a stink" here. And, instead of apologizing for the misunderstanding, or retracting your comments, you tried to convince people you said something else, and argued it to the death like an ignorant "Schweinhund" (little referrence to my own north german blood there. See? I can do it too). And, yes, just to answer your question, I will be glad to see you leave. You added nothing intelligent to this conversation, and you've wasted my time.
 
"2. Do you think you're the ONLY one put into bad situations?"

Hmm, somebody didn't read. I'm well aware that I'm not, and quite honestly, I'm not really in a bad situation. Well, I suppose I can't say that, but even so, I don't much complain about it.

"Come on. When people like you start complaining, it offends others who may be /have friends who are in a worse situation and getting by. So what if your family doesn't have that much money? People get by in other ways."

Dude, I don't care we don't have much money. We're not on welfare, we're not poor, we have a nice frig, tv, ps2, etc etc, so quite clearly we're leaving a mediocre life, monetary-wise too.

"And you say you have brains? Then how did you manage to piss everyone else off when (as you've been saying) that wasn't your intent?"

Fool, that has to do with YOUR brains, not my own. It wasn't my intent to piss people off but to state my opinion on the question, which Iwill not quote because I feel someone as "wise" as you already knows it. You chose to get angry at me because you were defending your race, which is fine, except I didn't know I was offending anyone. I've already apologized, but you don't seem to be doing anything, cept trying to win a war when you've but an empty gunshell.

"3. When you make a blanket statement, that's what you mean. When you say "Every caucasian in the state of Georgia", you mean "Every caucasian in the state of Georgia". This isn't the "good ol' days", pal. People don't look over generalizations that easily."

Do you live in literal world? When somebody says,"I'd kill for*insert name of desire*" they would not literally kill for that item. If someone says "Holy crap!", they do not literally mean a holy piece of feces, now do they? There are things in the English language known as figures of speech, hyperboles, exaggerations, lies, and mostly, vernacular, or modern-day speech. People don't really mean what they say, they just exaggerate to get the point through. If someone says they'd kill to get a pair of shoes, they will not kill a person just to get those shoes.

"4. Sounds like you need to make new friends if they're calling you "slant-eyes" for being part Japanese."

Somebody likes to make posts without reading. You know what that's called? Well, since I share a grand economy with words(don't get cocky, you have a sexual economy with words), I don't know what that's called, but it certainly shows the true you. They don't call me a slanted-eye because I'm Japanese, they call me it because I'm their friend. Sure, I am Japanese, thus it started, but even so, I've known them for over 4 years now, and they're not the kind of people who'd betray me. We're all great friends, and so even if they were racist against my kind, I wouldn't care less, especially since if they were racist, they wouldn't be talking to me.

"5. Well, it seems to me like you wouldn't just sit by."

So, I tell you I'd sit by yet you don't believe me?

"Judging from your actions here, that's not your personality type."

You're judging skills enduce a great yawn from me.

"You'd probably get into a heated argument until someone with authority came along, banned you, and then you'd try saying that you were just "stating your opinions in a heated manner"."

You certainly like to make me look infantile. I'm not a little kid I hope you know. I don't argue. If someone agrees fine. If not that's cool too. Why would somebody argue? You shouldn't be persuading people. Socrates made people think, so persuasion kills his whole purpose. You're great at assuming.

"And about that, why don't you find some other generalization to use on those guys. There's obviously something similar between these guys besides skin color. Are they all Klu Klux Klan members or something?"

Sorry, I'm not sure if you're talking about my friends or Georgians. My friends are not all white in the least. As for Georgians, yes, you nailed it on the head. Unfortunately, the place where I live(Augusta, GA) has not yet forgotten about the Civil War, a war based on(well, one of the few bases) slave's freedom. So, not only are there rebel flags everywhere, but there are indeed KKK members. Sure, they're not terrorists like they once were, but just go to the high school, find a kid in camoflague, and ask if he knows the grand wizard. Chances are, the kid will say,"I am him." That is how bad it is here. And, no, I'm not complaining; I'm stating the facts that I've seen with my own eyes. And, since you like to bring this up, I'M PERFECTLY AWARE PEOPLE HAVE IT BAD OFF. THAT'S NOT THE DISCUSSION BAKA!

"I know that I dislike most of the Southern Baptists that I've met based on their attitudes torwards me for being agnostic, but then again, one of my best friends is baptists. So I'm not going to go around saying "I hate all Baptists" because it simply isn't true."

Too bad I don't like any Caucasian males within GA huh?

"To repeat a common phrase (one which I think you should hear more often), "Watch your friggin' mouth!!" Thank you."

Why? You don't live here? Are you Georgian? Did I insult a baptist? Look, I'll say this once more. I apologize to all whom I have offended. If you're still offended, may I consider emotional therapy.

"6. undefeated exploiting world champion? That sounds like a self-imposed title to me. Egotistical? You sure seem that way."

Did I say world? Whoops, I just meant undefeated exploiting champion(never been to Singapore before). Well, it's an unofficial title, but I still have it and am reknowned for it. I don't believe in egotism. Sry bro, that's just not cool. You'll never catch me saying "ore" 👍

"Racist? your comments in one way or another have been geared torwards the theme "caucasians are evil"."

Dude, what is your problem? You can't just group things into categories then deny everything else. I never once said Caucasians were evil, nor do I think they are. I said I disliked them. Stop trying to take me out to be a racist.

"Mean? You're too weak in mind and grammar skills"

Wait, did I just see "grammar skills." You know, I can stand insults, but when it's insults that I cannot be bested in, I'll get pissed. My grammar skills are superb, and it's quite clear my vocab far surpasses your own. I can't say you have an economy with words(oh, crap, I already did XD), but seriously, what's so atrocious about them that you had to exploit? We're both mediocre; you're not on a hierarchy bud 🎈

"to be mean on these forums, so definitely not here. I don't know how you are in real life, though, so maybe you just act this way on forums."

No, I just act this way when dolts like you try to exploit me. I don't see it as me being mean, I see it as a challenge. Since you challenged me, I'm obligated to defeat you, and quite clearly I've done so. So, I wasn't trying to prove a point or be right, I was just trying to defeat you. Just keep putting up your shields on "blanket statements"(you know, there are better word choices out there, my grammatical sage-like scholar) and "people have it worse off" and "you've offended me and are egotistical." Try reading before posting.

"Plus, there's nothing hard about standing your ground against "stupid people","

Did I say there was? The only hard part is having to watch them squirm. People don't admit defeat any more.

"7. no, no, no. You came in making racial remarks, people fought back, and we turned out to be too much for you to handle."

Yeah, don't bother reading *coughrolereversalwhatthen?cough*

"Why don't you go to one of those racial supremacy forums? You'd probably handle yourself much more easily there."

You see? You have an idiocy problem. I am not a racial supremacist. I do not have races ranked from best to worst or most supreme to less. It's all by chance how a certain person acts, so ranking the entire race would be unfair. Look, I'll say this once more, unless another one of your stupid quotes pops up: I dislike the majority of caucasians within the city of Augusta, GA. Majority means most, not all. Stop trying to take it like I hate all Caucasians within GA, because I just re-stated it. Ignoring what I just re-stated would just make you a sheer neo-conservative-resembling fool. I don't think caucasians are evil, and I do not care if they do not like me because of my race, because anybody who dislikes others because of their race alone is a fool. Oh wait, this is where you're going to say "But you dislike white's because of their skin and/or the belief they all act the same." Wrong. It's only by chance that the MAJORITY of Caucasians I've met here act too similar for my liking, but even so, I don't dislike them because of their skin(there are whites in every country, even in Africa), and although they seem to act alike, that's just by chance. Everybody's different.

"8. You're the one who "raised a stink" here."

You're going to make me vomit. I stated my opinion. Tell me, what were the next few posts? Oh yeah! *I'm running out of synonyms and am too lazy to go to webster* Dorks like you(oh well, I tried) bombarding me with idiotic statements and complaints. Now, I'm done apologizing, because I've done that enough, but you shouldn't have said anything. I wasn't making your race look stupid or evil, I was saying so against a certain selection of males, none of which are in this forum to get offended. Calm down, and read better.

"And, instead of apologizing for the misunderstanding,"

OK, now you're just pushing it. I've apologized, I'm guessing around 4 times. Try counting, or better yet, leaving me alone.

"or retracting your comments,"

I'd stop exploiting you for this one, cept I wanna see what other stupid things you'll say, just so I can pent up enough dislike for you. I don't like disliking others, but this just draws the line. I've retraced my comments several times. I've apologized, explained I dislike(new word, no longer hate) the MAJORITY(new word, no longer ALL) the Caucasians within Augusta(no longer all of GA), GA. I've retraced several times pal, yet you refrain from repenting for being so rude to me.

"you tried to convince people you said something else, and argued it to the death like an ignorant "Schweinhund" (little referrence to my own north german blood there. See? I can do it too)."

Because, you guys are too literal. I don't mean everything I said, as stated above earlier. I mean, if I said I had a Parallel rare Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End in English, would you believe me just because I said it? Of course not. Although this contradicts my point at the beginning, the fact still remains you're blowing everything out of proportion by acting like exaggeration doesn't exist. Well it does; welcom to the new America; where the English language isn't what it used to be.

"And, yes, just to answer your question, I will be glad to see you leave. You added nothing intelligent to this conversation, and you've wasted my time."

You're just like Bill O'Reilly. You don't listen to anything I say, then you act like you're supreme. Then when I prove you wrong you'll say a bunch of crap, then to throw me into a double pit so to speak, you'll label me fellatious titles and make me out to be somebody I'm not. This is likethe 20th time it's happened, and nobody's ever been right. People like you are the reason I don't like THE MAJORITY OF GEORGIANS. You don't listen to anything I say, then act like your words are words of the Heavens. You are not a king and you do not have divine right. Learn your place sako

There aren't any Japanese girls where I live, and it doesn't offend me any more. It only did because I got that feeling that most minorities and/or foreigners get of "what does he have that I don't" or simple "what's so great about him?" Sure, race doesn't matter, it's just a double coincedence. One, he's Caucasian, which, ever since I've been here I haven't gotten along with a single caucasian. Secondly because he's not my friend. If my friend hooks up with a girl I like, I'll be mad but I'll still be his friend. This was just a stranger. Sure, she's not"mine" nor did I have any intention of hooking up with her, I just don't see why she'd rather have a Caucasian than a Korean(and, I'm not Korean, I'm just saying Koreans are better than Caucasians IMO). Anyways, I'm over that now, I'm just tired of seeing girls go out with bad guys. That's always been my problem; girls have terrible judgment where I live. Oh, before somebody yells at me I'd better say the majority of girls here have bad judgment.

So, my problem is simply because I feel for girls, especially Asians, because there are few Asians around here, and although the only ones are Koreans, which I am not, they're still my family in some way.

W/e, I plan on getting out of here ASAP, hopefully to a place that is overcrowded(literally) with Japanese people.
 
so you've got/had a bad case of jealousy or is it that you don't like caucasians and are jealous of them every time they get some and you don't?

Maybe a better attitude. You have STRONG feelings of race. Likely it shows.

Sure, race doesn't matter, it's just a double coincedence. One, he's Caucasian, which, ever since I've been here I haven't gotten along with a single caucasian.
Thats irrelevant.

This was just a stranger. Sure, she's not"mine" nor did I have any intention of hooking up with her, I just don't see why she'd rather have a Caucasian than a Korean(and, I'm not Korean, I'm just saying Koreans are better than Caucasians IMO).
I dunno. Damn. Maybe cause thats what she wants?
And Koreans are better than caucasians? Why? Basis? Examples? Proof? Or are you you just bleating racist statements again?


Anyways, I'm over that now,
Obviously you aren't.

I'm just tired of seeing girls go out with bad guys.
So caucasians = bad guys?

That's always been my problem; girls have terrible judgment where I live. Oh, before somebody yells at me I'd better say the majority of girls here have bad judgment.
You're looking at rule of averages here too. Whats the ratio of caucasians to asians where you live? That seriously affects the rates of match ups.

So, my problem is simply because I feel for girls, especially Asians, because there are few Asians around here, and although the only ones are Koreans, which I am not, they're still my family in some way.
Its their lives, their mistakes, their actions. What about all the girls taht are happy with Caucasians hmmm?

Oh and another thing Cyber Primate.

You said you're half Japanese? Funny. That you look white? Cool.

You know then that you will NEVER be accepted as Japanese in Japan? You will be as much a foreigner as I am? You will be still denied entry to some bars and onsens. Still be offered forks at restaurants because its assumed you cant use chopsticks. Still be stared at on the train. Still need to own a gaijin card all your life. Still have people patronisingly say your Japanese is great because you can say 'sumimasen'.

You say taht your other half isn't caucasian? If its another asian heritage it may be even worse for you then. A girl at my school LOOKs and sounds japanese. Yet when it came to pass that she was half Korean she became the subject of A LOT of taunting and bullying at school.

You can try and identify yourself as Japanese as much as you want, but if you really are a white looking half Japanese then in the eyes of a good many full Japanese people you aren't Japanese and never will be. You are as much a foreigner as the evil caucasians like me. Welcome to our club, sodas are on the table.
 
you can't bring it with you if you don't smuggle it? DAYM!
I was planning on having that as my memento once I got there and back :/

No from what I've heard you're meant to hand it in at the airport when you leave for good.

So I'm leaving on a return ticket!!!

You are just as bad as these members of the KKK you hate so much. You have just actually stated that one race is better than another. Which is not possible. I pride myself on fighting for the rights of minorities, while being white myself (Well, 75/25 White/Black, But I looke white) and I do come across these a**holes who dislike minorities, and it makes me hate them, not because they're white, but because they're racist. You are officially a racist, to actually claim one race is superior to another, that is a racist. You are disgusting. As much as I find myself to be constantly defending Asians, Blacks and all non-whites every time I come in contact with some redneck who thinks he can blame his problems on a minority, you are just as bad, if not worse, to say something like that.

Congratulations, You're an idiot.

Amen, man. 👍
 
"Maybe a better attitude. You have STRONG feelings of race. Likely it shows."

I don't have strong feelings of race at all. I mean, at school I call one of my friends whitey, but that's just a nickname. I don't go around the school calling every white person a cracker and using other derragatory terms against other races.

"I dunno. Damn. Maybe cause thats what she wants?"

Good for her. I didn't stop her. I just watched.

"And Koreans are better than caucasians? Why? Basis? Examples? Proof? Or are you you just bleating racist statements again?"

No, I'm saying they're better because of their qualities, their moral values, their beliefs, etc. Of course, I can't seem to say anything without you fools saying,"What? You mean the entire race applies to this one statement?" I don't mean ALL Asians are great, because I've met numerous Asians to whom I wouldn't give friendship to for my life. However, when comparing Caucasians to Asians, Asians surpass them in most of the generic sections. If you wish to know what I mean by generic sections, I'd be happy to tell you.

"Obviously you aren't."

And why not?

"So caucasians = bad guys?"

No, because in some way, everyone is a villain, and everyone is an antagonist. Some are bad, some aren't. Just because I said bad guys does not mean I targeted caucasians for that, just bad males in general.

"You're looking at rule of averages here too. Whats the ratio of caucasians to asians where you live? That seriously affects the rates of match ups."

Where I live, for every 3 people, there is 1 white, 1 African American, 1 Asian, and quite literally.

"Its their lives, their mistakes, their actions. What about all the girls taht are happy with Caucasians hmmm?"

I'm aware. I'll let my family live as they wish as evidenced by the fact that I did nothing and said nothing about when the Korean girl was around the Caucasian male. If I really was some bigot like you all take me out to be, I would've stormed up to them and in a booming voice said something along the lines of,"What are you doing? Get away from him! He's not worth it!" Of course, what I REALLY did was just play DDR and watch. Not one word about the two of them was uttered from my mouth. And, I don't care if she's happy or not with them, because as I said, I'M ALREADY OVER IT!

"Oh and another thing Cyber Primate.

You said you're half Japanese? Funny. That you look white? Cool.

You know then that you will NEVER be accepted as Japanese in Japan?"

Funny, because quite a few Japanese people know I'm Japanese and treat me as their own. Maybe you know different people.

"You will be as much a foreigner as I am?"

Of course, but that doesn't change the fact I was born in Okinawa , have friends and family within several places in Japan, and have Japanese blood. Just because I'm not full-blooded doesn't make me unaccepted.

"You will be still denied entry to some bars and onsens."

They have full-blooded Japanese-only bars? Any pics?

"Still be offered forks at restaurants because its assumed you cant use chopsticks."

I have my own set of chopsticks ^^

"Still be stared at on the train."

Well, when I visited Japan for a short while I wasn't started at in the least. Well, not in a weird way. Everynow and then somebody might just be starin off into space. I didn't have a wacky hairdo, I wasn't writing kanji on a big sheet of canvas, I was just sitting down.

"Still need to own a gaijin card all your life."

They have Gaijin cards? Why do you need a card to show you're not from Japan? Sounds patronizing to me.

"Still have people patronisingly say your Japanese is great because you can say 'sumimasen'."

Not really? Of all the japanese people within Japan I talked to, nobody was super impressed that I spoke Japanese. And they said I had the accent and sentence structure dead-on. Seriously, we know some different people.

"You say taht your other half isn't caucasian? If its another asian heritage it may be even worse for you then."

Um, I said it earlier. Half Japanese(50), 1/4th Greek(25), American(20), Egyptian(5).

"A girl at my school LOOKs and sounds japanese. Yet when it came to pass that she was half Korean she became the subject of A LOT of taunting and bullying at school."

Not at my school, where the only people who know I'm Japanese are 1. My friends and 2. People who actually know how a Japanese man(sorry, wouldn't want to say Jap and offend anyone) acts.

"You can try and identify yourself as Japanese as much as you want, but if you really are a white looking half Japanese then in the eyes of a good many full Japanese people you aren't Japanese and never will be."

Again, we know different people. Everyone I've known(and not just said hi to, I mean really well known) says they see the Japanese in me, including quite a few Japanese people.

"You are as much a foreigner as the evil caucasians like me. Welcome to our club, sodas are on the table."

Well, I'd have to look up the word foreigner, because although I wasn't raised there, I was still born there. Whatever, thanks for the sodas 🎈

"You are just as bad as these members of the KKK you hate so much. You have just actually stated that one race is better than another."

Preference, not superiority. Get it right ;)

"Which is not possible. I pride myself on fighting for the rights of minorities, while being white myself (Well, 75/25 White/Black, But I looke white) and I do come across these a**holes who dislike minorities, and it makes me hate them, not because they're white, but because they're racist. You are officially a racist, to actually claim one race is superior to another, that is a racist."

No you dolt. How about asking before accusing, because it makes you look stupid. When I meant better, I meant better of a choice. I guess I should've typed that, because I'm really making you look bad right now. I meant that Asians are a better choice of spouse then Caucasians. I didn't say either were bad or good, just that I personally prefer one over the other. And no, I don't demand others agree, I'm just stating my opinion.

"You are disgusting. As much as I find myself to be constantly defending Asians, Blacks and all non-whites every time I come in contact with some redneck who thinks he can blame his problems on a minority, you are just as bad, if not worse, to say something like that."

What the Hell is your problem? I don't blame my problems on any race. That would just be fickle. If I have a problem, I solve it. I don't blame others for sustenance or to make me more at ease. You know, the reason why you all take me out to be like this is because of what I said. I already told you: I'M OVER THAT. If you disbelieve me, you are all retards, because then you're just trying to prove a point off something that might as well be considered deleted at this point.

Congratulations, YOU are an idiot.

That you use race as an identifier amongst friends is one sure sign about your feelings of identity and race. I have Vietnamese friends back home in Australia. Never once is race an issue, nor a nickname. Johnny is Johnny. Chuong is Chuong. Azzizzi is Azzizzi, not towel head or anything like that.
Just because you have SOME restraint and don窶冲 call people cracker doesn窶冲 mean your feelings of race are any less strong.

Good for her. I didn't stop her. I just watched.
Unless you actually have feelings for the girl it should be a COMPLETE non issue to you. Not even worth watching.



No, I'm saying they're better because of their qualities, their moral values, their beliefs, etc. Of course, I can't seem to say anything without you fools saying, 窶弩hat? You mean the entire race applies to this one statement?" I don't mean ALL Asians are great, because I've met numerous Asians to whom I wouldn't give friendship to for my life. However, when comparing Caucasians to Asians, Asians surpass them in most of the generic sections. If you wish to know what I mean by generic sections, I'd be happy to tell you.
Oh
My
GOD
And any credibility you have just shattered into a million fractured pieces. You continually keep saying you aren窶冲 racist, you don窶冲 think one race is superior. But in this very paragraph you have written of Caucasians as less moral, less valued and of lesser qualities to Asians. Need I sink to your level and post how there some moral characteristics that Asians seem to lack?
You don't even have to tell me. Your post was idiotic. You ARE judging people on race. You believe, without even meeting someone, that a white person has less values and morals to a Korean for instance. This WILL colour your impressions of people when you first meet them.
YOU
ARE
A
RACIST



And why not?
This thread gives numerous clear examples of why you aren't over it. But your first post is the best example.

Well, I know that when I see a white guy hitting on an Asian female I get offended and want to stop them, even if they're no one I know and the Asian isn't my blood.

Well, I can't speak for Japan, so I really don't know. I never had a problem with anyone, until I moved here. Now, I really, really DESPISE Caucasians. Of course, I look Caucasian, so everybody thinks I'm just a contradicting self-hating fool. Oh well.

No, because in some way, everyone is a villain, and everyone is an antagonist. Some are bad, some aren't. Just because I said bad guys does not mean I targeted Caucasians for that, just bad males in general.
So do you get angry and offended when another Asian hits on a girl? When a white guy hits on a white girl? Heck the Asian guy might be a bad guy. You never know.

Where I live, for every 3 people, there is 1 white, 1 African American, 1 Asian, and quite literally.
Then you need to find out why the girls are going for Caucasians. Also something doesn't add up. You keep saying how you are a minority in your area, yet Asians represent 33%?
Odd.

I'm aware. I'll let my family live as they wish as evidenced by the fact that I did nothing and said nothing about when the Korean girl was around the Caucasian male. If I really was some bigot like you all take me out to be, I would've stormed up to them and in a booming voice said something along the lines of, 窶弩hat are you doing? Get away from him! He's not worth it!" Of course, what I REALLY did was just play DDR and watch. Not one word about the two of them was uttered from my mouth. And, I don't care if she's happy or not with them, because as I said, I'M ALREADY OVER IT!
The fact that you even CARE, that you watch, that these thought processes are in your head is enough to make you a bigot. It窶冱 none of your concern, none of your business. Yet in your head you're making it your business. Just play DDR, don窶冲 even watch. You may get 'offended'.

Funny, because quite a few Japanese people know I'm Japanese and treat me as their own. Maybe you know different people.
There窶冱 said to be a big difference amongst Japanese living abroad and Japanese on home soil when it comes to national identity. On the Japanese mainland you will NOT be accepted as Japanese. I tell you this with 99% confidence.


Of course, but that doesn't change the fact I was born in Okinawa, have friends and family within several places in Japan, and have Japanese blood. Just because I'm not full-blooded doesn't make me unaccepted.
Oh yes, yes it does. You are half Japanese. But half gaijin. You can never ever be completely Japanese in their eyes. Dude in my 2 years here in Japan I've met plenty of people that I was sure are Japanese. But they weren窶冲. They were half Korean. Or half Brazilian. Or half Pilipino for example. And they all tell me the same story. They aren't fully accepted here as Japanese. No matter how hard they try they are still outsiders to a degree.


They have full-blooded Japanese-only bars? Any pics?
Many bars and onsens have signs that read 'Japanese only'. And the decision on who enters is decided on how Japanese they look. \
Get educated here: www.debito.org: THE ROGUE'S GALLERY: Photos of places which refuse non-Japanese in Japan
Heck this guy is a Japanese citizen. He has a Japanese name, Japanese family and Japanese passport. Yet he gets refused entry because he doesn窶冲 LOOK Japanese.
Another story is that a group were refused entry into an onsen as they didn't look Japanese and 'scare' other customers. They were later told that one of their children, who looks Japanese (but is Chinese) could enter, but their other child couldn窶冲 as he didn't look Japanese.
Surprised you didn't know of this.


I have my own set of chopsticks ^^
Which is EXCEPTIONALLY ODD. You will be treated like some kind of weirdo.


Well, when I visited Japan for a short while I wasn't started at in the least. Well, not in a weird way. Every now and then somebody might just be staring off into space. I didn't have a wacky hairdo, I wasn't writing kanji on a big sheet of canvas, I was just sitting down.
You were 7. You likely have distorted memories. Being stared at on the train is likely one of the most common complaints a foreigner (read me and you) makes in Japan.


They have Gaijin cards? Why do you need a card to show you're not from Japan? Sounds patronizing to me.
I don窶冲 know why you need them. But you do. and you must carry it around with you at all times and from what I understand the police can demand to see it at anytime (granted it hasn't happened to me, but has happened to my friend many times. Usually when riding his bike).
It窶冱 a pink and white photo ID card you get from the government office. It窶冱 called a 'Certificate of Alien Registration'.
Again, surprised you didn't know.


Not really? Of all the Japanese people within Japan I talked to, nobody was super impressed that I spoke Japanese. And they said I had the accent and sentence structure dead-on. Seriously, we know some different people.
Seriously. You don窶冲 LIVE in Japan.
The other night I text messaged a girl. Said 'Oyasumi nasai' in hiragana and kanji. She was SHOCKED that I could write Japanese. Said how good it was. This is NOT a rare occurrence here.
Stop thinking about Japanese you know in Georgia. Keep up. I窶冦 talking about in Japan itself.


Um, I said it earlier. Half Japanese(50), 1/4th Greek(25), American(20), Egyptian(5).
So you窶决e not 50/50? Be prepared for some REAL fun then.


"A girl at my school LOOKS and sounds Japanese. Yet when it came to pass that she was half Korean she became the subject of A LOT of taunting and bullying at school."

Not at my school, where the only people who know I'm Japanese are 1. My friends and 2. People who actually know how a Japanese man(sorry, wouldn't want to say Jap and offend anyone) acts.
Sigh. PEOPLE I'M BLUE IN THE FACE HERE!
In Japan. This girl is a student in a JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL. A school that窶冱 pretty much 99% Japanese. You can act 'Japanese' (or your distorted version thereof) all you want. But just KNOWING you aren't Japanese will mean you are treated MUCH differently in school. Just like Yun. If you are an exchange student you will be a novelty. Treated differently. If you LIVED here or your kids did they will be treated differently. Likely not very nicely.

Oh by the way when I meant 'my school' I meant the private English company I teach at. Yun is a student here. The actual high school she attends is where the bullying occurs.

Again, we know different people. Everyone I've known(and not just said hi to, I mean really well known) says they see the Japanese in me, including quite a few Japanese people.
They are patronising you. They may see some Japanese in you. Heck I can use chopsticks. Fricking amazing isn't it? Well it is too some Japanese here as I Have been told 'You are just like Japanese' because I can use chopsticks.


Well, I'd have to look up the word foreigner, because although I wasn't raised there, I was still born there. Whatever, thanks for the sodas 🎈
You are not Japanese. Not full blooded. Not born there. You are a foreigner, just like me, by the Japanese cultural definition of the word.


Preference, not superiority. Get it right ;)
No, you proved earlier in your post that you feel Asians are morally superior. You can窶冲 even keep track of your own bleatings in one post?


No you dolt. How about asking before accusing, because it makes you look stupid. When I meant better, I meant better of a choice. I guess I should've typed that, because I'm really making you look bad right now. I meant that Asians are a better choice of spouse then Caucasians. I didn't say either were bad or good, just that I personally prefer one over the other. And no, I don't demand others agree, I'm just stating my opinion.
Kid the only person who looks bad here is you. Highlighted by the fact that NO-ONES taken your side.
And you just said that Asians are superior to Caucasians, one post after saying you didn't feel that way. Incredible.


What the Hell is your problem? I don't blame my problems on any race. That would just be fickle. If I have a problem, I solve it. I don't blame others for sustenance or to make me more at ease. You know, the reason why you all take me out to be like this is because of what I said. I already told you: I'M OVER THAT. If you disbelieve me, you are all retards, because then you're just trying to prove a point off something that might as well be considered deleted at this point.
You're losing it Ape. You have stated numerous times that this bothers you. That you have superiority and identity issues. That Caucasians make you angry, that they offend you when they talk to Asian girls.
You are in one serious case of denial.

Congratulations, YOU are an idiot.

Settle down folks...

Let's try and decrease the name calling a little, ok?
 
Japanese people are usually of high class and do not like associating with black people who are usually associated with crime.
OH SNAP!
 
Actually, Thor, I disagree. In the media, the african american persons who recieve the most attention are the rap artists. Now, don't get me wrong, but the "thug" image in rap seems to be popular. So, someone who doesn't come into contact with african americans on a daily basis will usually associate his definition of african american culture with what he sees on the television. So, considering the image that rap artists tend to try and promote, it's not surprising that a Japanese person, who hardly ever sees african americans in real life, might think the word "thug" when he actually sees one simply because of what he has seen on television.


Too bad they can't associate african americans with Bill Cosby, Will Smith, or something like that.
 
This black man just stole Sakura-neiho-chan-whatever's staff! We must beat him into submission and act like morons!
Exactly, thanks for repeating what I just said.
