@@mr-vb3id You do realise that most of people that go work at japan work under a company or have a work contract,not as an influencer or blogger.... being the reason that they can't just teleport to other countries

Yeah, she talks about exuding positive energy, but if people are generally being ostracized then they aren’t going to be very positive, at least these three had connections to other people who already live in Japan, if you go to another country alone for a job, can’t connect with any of your colleagues, and you’re contractually obligated to stay in the country for a certain amount of years then I can totally see resenting the place after a while.

Nobita from Japan has two videos on why Japanese people avoid foreigners, and most of the time it’s just a huge misunderstanding (them not knowing English, not being that talkative to strangers, some foreigners having body odor in the train, etc.)

People genuinely don’t realize how racist most countries are cause they are mostly composed of one race in their country.

@@sakataginko9092 Nobita from Japan is a racist, sexist bigot himself and not exactly the most unbiased source you could have found. He blames girls for getting molested on trains for wearing their skirts too short and made a now privated video saying that Black Americans are a "danger" to Japan, citing several debunked and racist crime statistics, so I don't exactly trust his word. If someone randomly asks you on the street "are you racist?" are you going to say yes? Some racist still people exist in Japan, don't sugarcoat it with generalizations. Japan has an *extremely long* history with xenophobia, and it's definitely not quite gone yet. younger people are way more tolerant and welcoming than many older people, but Japan's aging population makes that still an issue. amidst growing concern about a drop of young people to work in the country, Japan will need to become more open to immigrants in the near future, but the Japanese government is still doing absolutely everything in their power to keep Japan a homogenous Japanese population for as long as they can because of growing nationalism in the country. Many Japanese people still aren't ready to let go of a pure Japan. you can't hear the stories of foreigners not being able to rent most apartments because Japanese still can't stand to live next to foreigners, or the story of Garnt being "randomly" questioned by police for the mere mention of the word "Thai" and say that Japan isn't even a little bit racist. Also, not entirely related, but Japan's criminal punishment system is fucked and inhumane as it is and you bet if you're not Japanese you're getting worse. Japan is a lovely and immensely interesting place with a rich culture, but it's not all roses and fucking butterflies over there.

@@Wingzero90939 I think that’s overgeneralizing a bit. I have a lot of Japanese friends who love Korean and Chinese people/culture. Though there is still a large percentage that don’t.

@@Pudding_Pupp Are the "No-American" places in Okinawa or nearby Okinawa?

@@Pudding_Pupp not that it justifies it, because it completely doesn't. But that difference in reaction is probably because for the most part Japan is homogeneous when it comes to race, sure there are a couple people of foreign descent, but it's mostly Japanese people.

Facts

Yep, you said it

However, it's contradictory especially if you're your own boss and all. Even Jaiden discussed this issue of how she wanted to keep working even while eating, sleeping, and even working. Being a RU-vidr has its own set of cons, and regarding money... Sure, successful people don't have to worry about it. But if your content falls off, that money will go down faster than we discovered NFTs are bad for everyone.

being a youtuber can be very stressful as it is running ur own buisness. and that english teacher didnt put in as much as effort as joey did. and youre acting like joey didnt have to study his ass off and be hired as interns.

Yeah I think Japan is similar to Italy in some ways, both have great food, art, history, touristic spots and so on but both are countries where there's a lot of crunch culture in the work place. Like if you leave right after finishing your shift at work your colleagues and employers will be judging you, you always need to show that you do more and demonstrate that you care about your job for some reason and that's very stressful.

People always seem to act like Japan is some sort of paradise utopia which should never be criticised.

Yeah thats somthing ive noticed more and more Trash America and its fine, trash anywhere else in the world and suddenly your being xenophobic.

Yeah, that was a weird take.

I think she meant the overall mentality. A lot of people call Japanese racist but if you knew the culture they're just foreigner-averse people. It doesn't help it's a homogenous country either. I can see why you would say that. I think if you love a place but hate what comes with it sometimes, like the bois, stay. But if you hate the place and everything about you should probarbly leave.

The difference is Americans are upfront about their problems when it comes to the global scale. Other countries.. not so much. It’s why it’s popular to hate on america when in reality its “racism” issues are nowhere near the scale of some other world superpower type countries. I don’t understand why people pretend that racism only exists in the US. The US is just willing to publicly address its issues

@@bradasskg11 you touch it with a needle. Its a bit of a symptom of what I like to call "The gank mentality" where everyone will gank on the biggest and most powerful player just because. Like, people say America has bad racial issues but when you look at Asia where Chinese people are literally brainwashed into thinking everyone not Chinese is racist, below, and just worse than them. Source: Am LITERALLY the child of a Chinese immigrant

@@bradasskg11 The issue is that Americans come to Japan and then complain about "racism" everywhere, not only "racism" against them, but even between 3rd parties. Then it's the sexism, environmentalism, work ethics, diversity, pronouns, and so on People don't want to deal with people that hate everything about they live in. They might as well fuck off back to where they came from if they dislike it here so much

Most Americans aren't like that and there would be public outraged if anyone showed such a low brand of hypocrisy. The most "American" centered perception of other cultures you'd see is someone who has realized they don't know everything (elaboration, American society didn't show them.)

@@bradasskg11 racism is a huge problem because the whole country full of completely different groups of people and there's lots of conflict culturally between said groups. Average Japanese doesn't care about racism because 97% are Japanese it's a complete non issue for the average Japanese compared to the average American.

Then make it better? Or go somewhere better? I really mean it, though, if the job is too much and the culture too opressive then that sounds like something that needs change, for the future generations in Japan as well

@@theramendutchman what? Do you even read what this comment said? Do you realised what you said? What can a teacher change about the job? Go somewhere?

Why you are mad this comment actually speaking the truth?

@@theramendutchman Um you do realize that moving is expensive right?

Honestly, teaching English in Japan is nothing to write home about. Those Eikaiwas in particular is a real coin toss - you either get lucky or you get crapped on. A lot of them pay terrible salaries, give little to no benefits, and don't give 2 figs about their teachers, which is why they have such a high staff turnover rate. I wonder how that's changed now though due to the pandemic. They certainly aren't able to get fresh blood from overseas.

@@theramendutchman lol oh I’m part of the JET Programme so we get better work conditions in general but can’t make the system better because ALTs literally have no saying in changing the system. I gave up trying to do that after the first two years. Now, I just focus on fun things living in Japan. You should try working here as an English teacher or ALT. ^_^

it's true though isn't it? Why demand a country to change into the place you left for it?

@@AppealtoImmortality true but, perhaps you like most things about the country and would love yo keep living there but a couple of things bother you, like racism and being discriminated against. You can’t hate the country for that but you can criticise it.

@@mastegoh7139 that's not even remotely the same situation. Black Americans in the 50s didn't come to the States straight from Africa. Most of them hardly had a choice. However, if you voluntarily go to Japan, you're in no position to demand they adapt to your preferences. It's their country, you aren't entitled to them changing it or their metality for you.

@@hieinh Yeah I suppose that's true. But being hated on is kinda like a daily thing for the US that I don't think any other (open) country is used to and we just don't give a fuck, we take it cause it's always there. It's not like I hear someone dissing the queen every day. I wonder if there are any Americans left that actually really care what anyone thinks of us anymore?

Some are extremely defensive. Some completely agree. Most just don’t care. It’s hard to explain just how complex the entirety of the US is to people who’d rather enjoy the simplified version that’s easier to jeer at. It is what it is. Makes for a good chuckle regardless. Even us lowly ignorant folk can appreciate some riffs

@@katsura2605 Good thing that no country ever did that before the US came along :) Yeah, we really just don't give a fuck. Actually, I just don't think we're allowed to delude ourselves in the US because we're called out all the time no matter what we do. Perfect example, talk to some Chinese or Koreans about Japans treatment of their countries and peoples. There are no "good" governments. There are no clean hands. We just admit we've fucked up while others tend to ignore their dark chapters. Maybe that's the true difference. Thanks for the perspective.

@@pkpantheryt3326 You're absolutely right, that's my bad but trust me I know what it's like to be "treated differently".

True, but the difference is foreigners in America are looking for better oportunities Americans in japan not so much. Besides americans are the only country were legit every race is american.

Also, I assume cities and tourist areas are a lot more foreigner friendly than say working in a more rural area as an English teacher.

The real everyday Japanese workplace is filled with xenophobia

@@757Bricksquad I believe Abroad in Japan has talked about how welcomed and loved he was in his rural community.

As general advice, visiting as a tourist, and actually studying/working in a different country, is totally different experience. You will not realize how much "home advantage" you have, until you lose it and need to start from bottom. That thing about "a country need to take care of their own citizen first"? Well, you are the foreigner now. You will always be third-class there until you accumulate enough "experience" that people more accepting of you, but then sometimes you are still questioned or compared to the "real citizens" Like, everytime the boys talked about being foreigner in Japan.... Some of their experiences are actually not unique to Japan and coming to work to other places will meet the same thing.

Then telling anyone when they don't like somewhere to leave is fine. School, jobs and everything. That's not how you make things better, and pointing out discrimination is how we've made things better in the US, particularly with how we've treated the Japanese in the 1940's. Also, she's American who married a japenese person. I don't think she's even ethnically Japanese. So by that logic, no she has no right to dictate who should stay or leave in a country.

But staying in a country only to complain about it constantly is entitled and rude. Maybe americans have a different conception of this because it is a country of immigrants, but Japan isn't. There's no reason to stay in Japan if you hate it.

@@nojakthegemlad it’s different if you live there or if you’re a tourist. I understand what she’s saying because outsiders CHOSE to be there and she doesn’t like their complaints, but if you’re born somewhere and don’t like it then it’s going to take years and a lot of money to be able to move.

"I don't think she meant anything negative by it or is thinking of the racial context" - I'm sure the white guy in your example thought the same thing of themselves.

True. New York is completely different from somewhere like Louisiana.

I might be completely wrong but i think thats way off. In my (south american) perspective US is mostly white, significant portion of black people and a minoritie (percentage wise) that comes from other countries. I get your point about US being diverse cause its a country significant enough to reunite people from all over the world but that doesnt mean their culture is there. The biggest cities in the world are highly globalized to the point where its way more influenced by external matters then the country's own identity and culture.

@@canalmaxcrazyplay In the US, there is no singular culture. Not even all of the rural American cultures are the same. Also, the big cities in the USA are definitely huge contributors to the culture. If you try to pretend that big cities like NYC or LA or Houston or Baton Rouge aren’t big parts of the culture, then you’re either lying or uneducated.

@@canalmaxcrazyplay To piggyback off of my previous comment to you, the USA is like “pick your culture.” Do you want a place with a huge South American/Central American influence? Move to the southern border states. Do you want a place with Canadian & Colonial-era American influence? Move to the Northeast. Do you want a place that has a huge Asian influence? Move to Hawaii or to certain parts of California. Do you want a place that is mostly African-American and features their distinct type of Southern culture & cuisine? Go to Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of Louisiana. Do you want a place that is mostly white, rural, and religion-heavy? Go to rural Missouri, Kansas, or Illinois. Do you want a place that is influenced by everywhere else in the world but is also distinctly American? Move to the NYC area. And there’s so many more areas with their own nuances around the country.

@@Leroset I guess the perspective really diverges here, my take was about the biggest cities not contributing and or promoting the countries own culture, but this may not work as example while observing US cause let's say, capitalism is made there and what you guys do reflect all over the world in determining what goes into tendency or not. However if we look at other places, are you going to say coca cola or iPhone are part of the Arabic society or something like that? It wasn't made there neither made for them, but the structure of our system demands the expansion to the point where the cultural barriers get smaller and smaller so the products reach every possible buyer. And that obviously influences in the culture of the said country (of course different countries have different resistances when it comes to external influence, China for example)

Like you said, there is no single American way of life. It is just so varied. By the way, as a Hungarian person who moved to the USA, I’m genuinely curious-why would you want to move to Hungary? It’s not a well-known or populous country, so I’m surprised that it’s on your list of places to move to.

@@Leroset Seems interesting to be honest. I'll honest in that I've not done too much studying up on Hungary as a whole. But the language is interesting and I've seen around online that it's cheaper to live even out in Budapest for nicer places than out in other capitals (such as Paris). My first interaction with Hungarian stuff was technically due to the language appearing in Halo Reach. I saw a video in which someone said that the language shown in there was a sort of "botched Hungarian." Made me curious as to how it sounds and it began from there. I don't know why I built up a fascination with the place albeit not much research done. You as a Hungarian though, what made you move over here to the States?

While I acknowledge that foreigners often overestimate the homogeneity of American culture, I feel like Americans overestimate the homogeneity of European cultures, as well. For example, in my country, Croatia, I can drive for 3 hours and, while still being in my country, arrive in Istria, a place with significantly different culture and lifestyle. The architecture changes from gothic churches to roman temples and the dialect is chock-full of Italian loanwords to the point where I barely understand it. When people aren't just straight up speaking Italian, that is. I honestly felt more "at home" in Hungary, which to me just feels like (continental) Croatia on a different language setting, than in Istria. If I were to move, I'd probably go to Austria, though. Out of all of the countries I've been to, I feel like I vibe with Austria the most. Hungary looks really pretty, but I got bored of it after going there five or so times already.

@@2712animefreak "While I acknowledge that foreigners often overestimate the homogeneity of American culture, I feel like Americans overestimate the homogeneity of European cultures, as well." Yeah, it is a thing that happens both ways. I'm stating this first, since you know how internet is. Never been outside of US. I'd imagine that almost nothing is similar from one side of a country to the other. Like your example of Croatia. Three hours to other side of country and it feels like you can't even understand them. Like in France, I bet there is difficulty in understanding the people from the Breton areas compared to the Parisians. That's a whole can of worms there from the few things I read. It's just the lack of searching for this level of knowledge of other places that usually happens is all it is. I don't hate people that assume America is nothing but burger country, because there is some truth to it. As all stereotypes have somewhere they come from. But hey! What can you do aside from just letting it roll off of you?

European countries aren't really that homogenous. You can find Arab, Turkish cliques in bunch of big cities in Germany as well as Asian communities. Bavarian accent is sometimes very hard to understand for people from Hamburg for example, it's considered closer to Austrian (most of Germany lives on rivers that flow north, Austria and most of Bavaria are on the Danube which flows east). Japan as well, it's a 125 million people country. There's massive cultural differences. Much of the south has sub tropical climate, there's almost jungle like places on Kyushu. The accent variations as well, Kansai accent sounds a bit funny to "standard Japanese" speakers (aka Tokyo). The touristy areas like Kyoto will have very different feel to northern Japan which doesn't receive as much tourists. Okinawa will almost be a foreign country, the island is significantly influenced by American military bases that take up much of the islands and their people aren't exactly Japanese, but Ryukyuuan with history of assimilation under the Japanese Empire.

I don't think she's trying to dismiss racism in Japan like it's not a serious issue. I mean that is something I'm pretty sure a lot of foreigners complain about, but do you see the situation improving from just a small fraction of the population complaining? I'm sure she's been empathetic to people who complain to her, but I wouldn't blame her making that remark if she's been hearing those complaints so much that her head spins. The thing to note though, is that unlike America, Japan is still a very homogenous society. So as sad as it is, the possibility of being discriminated against is something that foreigners should have been aware of before moving here. Depending on what the issue is though, it might not be about racism to them.

well no this is just a generalization of a group of people and is normal because even tho everyone is dfferent people from the same country tend to be similar in some ways ( in my country we make fun about a region aka naples and even people from naples make fun of people from naples because we get that its just a wide generalization) and by the way saying that generally americans are the wrost tutrist its not racism because you are by no means discriminating americans you are just saying what you think based on experience ( my country is seen worldwide as a bunch of loud exgerated people that dont want to work and talk with their hands and that is not racist cus compared to the world its kinda true , it becomes racist when a hotel dosent accept me because of my nationality )

@San the Man please everyone does vast generalizations of groups, its impossible not to when talking about topics wich involve big groups of people aka tourist, with that said obviously everyone zone is unique and in pearson there shouldnt be any type of prejudgment(hope I spelled chat right), bit at che end of the day stereotypes have a base of truth and you cant deny that

@San the Man PS if that is RACISM then im a war criminal man please racism is way worse then that

Also varies by region. Some states are bigger than a lot of countries.

Welcome to planet Earth.

Same in Japan. I know Japanese people from all walks of life, and the poor & middle-class people are living vastly different lives than the wealthy people.

@@Leroset I would imagine it like that everywhere but America's wealth gap is constantly growing and it worries me that we have a disappearing middle class.

@@SheetsInc the US does have a shrinking middle class. But that’s because US government spending is causing high levels of inflation that is eating away at the middle class’s collective financial capital.

Jackie O' Reilly your childhood seems similar to mine. I think we are of a similar age. Those were the days! Technology is great, but I always feel for every advancement we lose something. I think Joey is right, in 40 years time, he will be looking back on the good old days with nostalgia.

@@jackieoreilly568 I'm 52 and from the UK too. I do sometimes find myself wondering why I spend so much time listening/ watching 3 late 20's/ early 30's lads chatting shit.

@@flowerpower3082 🤣😂🤣 .. well, my little family are big anime fans, .. I inherited the love of anime from my own dad 🤷‍♀️😁.. I started of by watching The Anime Man and Abroad in Japan.. and ended up here for some reason 😂 .. I only came onto RU-vid for a recipe 🙈🤣😂🤣 .. I can't find the exit..

@@jackieoreilly568 That makes sense, but for me I have absolutely no interest in anime whatsoever. (Possibly a blasphemous thing to admit on this channel!!!) Perhaps watching Abroad in Japan brought me here, but as to why I have stayed (and subscribed to their individual channels and follow them on Twitter)...... 🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤣🤣🤣

I find it specifically interesting because while I do love Trash Taste, something interesting goes on there. Here we have three men. One British (Joey’s Australian right?) and a Welsh guy and somehow America always makes its way into so many of the conversations lmao like they’re obsessed. Meanwhile pluck a guy out of each borough of New York, a guy from Texas, a guy from LA and a guy from Georgia and the differences couldn’t be bigger.

@@shinrasboy Welsh are British too

@@TheWunder oh thank you! Sometimes I get lost there and I didn’t want to be rude. Sorry if that sounds dumb.

@@shinrasboy No offense taken. Just saying.

@@shinrasboy The main reason everyone in the Anglosphere is "obsessed" with America is that we all get so much American media, we hear daily American crazyness on the news, and the English-speaking part of the internet is dominated by Americans throwing insults at each other over politics, sports, and pretty much everything else, making it a completely unavoidable topic. Plus there's the car-crash fascination of watching the horror show that is a country that seems to be hellbent on tearing itself apart lately!

"People who aren't native to a country can be a good voice of reason when it comes to negative things that native-born people have been conditioned to think are okay." Pretty braindead take. A country exists to satisfy it's citizens, not pander to the opinions of outsiders with no stake.

You really love justifying racism and discrimination.

@@Ravi9A I don’t think that’s what they meant. I think outside perspective gives new ways of thinking and introduces ideas that could just be better.

@@joshuaposner458 Could, not must, Yes? Anyway, this assumes the society in question has exhausted it's own ideas to implement, which is absurd. Every society already has a backlog of it's own ideas and improvements they seek yet haven't achieved yet. why should they waste whatever resources they could allot to those and instead listen to outsiders with poorer stakes and reduced direct experience of the society in question? There is a difference between exchange of ideas in a free and open forum, and incessant whining of outsiders seeking to exalt their own voices.

"Social progess" ? who says you can define what progress is?

@@Ravi9A it can mean many things from different perspectives. But not knowing that there is an issue with the way we see someone without intentionally interacting with them can hurt our idea of how we view others of to that same caliber.

@@MrBhomer2 How is this relevant to "Social progress" for their own society? They are neither interested nor have a necessity to interact with those they don't care about, these "someone's" are completely irrelevant to their own personal social progress of their nation. You may as well declare that a thorough understanding of Sea anemones is needed for a desert society to have social progress. Meaningless and useless.

@@Ravi9A sea anemones are not the same as us though. We are social beings lol how can you not see that these kind of ideas will be passed on to the next generation if not treated with care.

@@Ravi9A you are basically saying it is okay to be ignorant.

True

It was during the Harry Potter Era

I feel like self-deprecation is just a big way in which Brits communicate. Most people would call their own town a shit-hole before they call it nice. Yet that never translates when foreigners try to join in, we either get defensive or think they are being an asshole.
