mostly with foreign workers

so that's why alot of them are just thinking of like deconstructing japanese politics and more or less culture

alot of it is "problematic"

Japan also has an entirely different history compared to European based Western Nations so they have very different social norms

There is a step or two missing in the above logic methinks

well I mean, asian culture is pretty conserative and mono culture

They do like **drawn** naked girls

Japanese don't understand what the hell is wrong with Black Face, I say this having talked to Japanese in subburbs of Japan

though I see like japan being high up in western standards

but also brow beaten by western counties

“Itta good jackrie chan implession “

Japan has a pretty clear caste system in general

Caste, Clan, and Family systems

Given the occupation Americans and white in general get admitted to the top tier with Yamato

After that it gets pretty ugly, especially if you're Korean

I've spoken with black friends who have visited Japan and ironically they get treated quite well, likely because they are linked to America and in any case are such an oddity

Yeah. Blacks in America see themselves as different, Japanese see Black Americans as Americans and are treated with the same "Respectful Distance" as they treat all over Americans.

That's cool.

Hopefully that's true when I visit Japan someday...

From what was explained to me, Americans are basicly their own clan, Uniformed Officers are the highest Caste, followed by Uniform enlisted, then Corporate Reps, and finally dependants.

just don't be a dindu

:^)

I'm white, though.

oh

lul

So the "dindu" thing won't be a concern.

The Japanese don't really see a difference.

Honestly, I think we should take a couple notes from Japan in terms of respect and culture, in a sense.

I was sent there for a while for Bi-Lateral exercises.

How was it?

Interesting.

Some ways I would say they are really behind the US, others they are ahead.

Technology-wise, they're ahead. Society-wise, also ahead. Pop-culture-wise, I dunno.

Well yes and no on both.

am i allowwed to ping admin

There are things that we do better here in the states that they have a bit of a hard time wrapping their heads around but once they do they can run with it.

Both the US and Japan have bomb-ass food. (See what I did there?)

However, Japan needs to definitely rethink the idea of 12-hour work days and whatnot.

I was there in uniform and most of the people I dealt with there were also in uniform so I can't speak to their coporate culture directly.

That's up to Japan
