Do Japanese Elders Like Foreigners in Japan? | Street Interview 

make video about do korea hate india or clear about this assumption thank you

The Japanese media is mostly multi-racial and globalist. However, the average Japanese person dislikes foreigners living in Japan.

But not in korea

Have you say?

@tingtingbell9431 The whole world dislikes India or they would if they knew how India intends to treat them…

that's wholesome AF, true that.

As a Japanese,I respect your behaving in Japan. I hope I were like you in different cultures.

@@matuiyo2000 I have an enormous amount of respect for Japanese culture and I really try to adhere to customs when in Japan, I cover up as much as I can. I have a trip booked for 2025 and I cannot wait to return, I’ve been learning Japanese so I can try and speak to more people.

Many Japanese are extremely afraid of being talked to and fail to reply in foreign language (especially English), that’s the #1 reason they avoid foreigners. So if you can speak even just a few basic phrases and words, their invisible barrier will crumble off I’m sure. Japanese are very curious and many secretly want to interact with people from other cultures. You only need to break the ice. Wish you good luck in Japan! I want to visit there soon again too

@@adamf894 Trust me man, once you start speaking Japanese, the locals will become 10 times friendlier to you. And they will stop being scared of your tattoos because they know that since you're a foreigner you're definitely not a yakuza.

You and me both

Yeah cuz they are there for a week, they don’t give Foreigners citizenships

I think people of big cities in Japan are more familier with foreigners, therefore they don't against them

@@AlanLin1995 fair point

No doubt. They’re much more open minded and accepting than many western elders. There’s a lot of hate in the west. I don’t know if it’s our class system or the government or what but it never seems to get better.

The people in India (especially the elderly) are also very kind if you are traveling with a toddler. They are very patient with young children. Even so I wouldn't recommend it, because little kids from the west often get sick there.

​@@shalini_sevani As an Indian who lived in Japan can confirm this is true.

@@GigaNiga483 lma0, he just said something racest against you.

@@ectas741 it’s not racist if it’s a fact…kids have a much different immune system than adults, get sick more often in general, and can react more intensely to different foods, water etc, and let’s be real India is not known for hygiene restrictions or clean water supply

@@ectas741... it's only racist if the information is used against you; and it is not racist if something is a fact.

you just like being worshipped as a foreigner. Pls stop this stupidity and lies

Sounds like Finland.

As an asian american, I remember I gave the priority seat in a busy train to an elderly japanese couple and they were SO SURPRISED and thankful. Because a lot of times the japanese do not even give up their seats to elderly like they are supposed to!

@@HipHopTheme honestly, giving up a seat for an elderly person is such a no-brainer for me, their reaction, their smiles and apreciation keep me going for weeks after it, definitely worth having to stand for a short train ride.

Major respect & love to you for treating the elderly as they should be treated. I treat them the same way!❤

An incredible country with some of the most outstanding countryside and wildlife. If you ever plan on touring the country, foreigners can buy a JR rail ticket which allows them to travel the entire country by bullet train. One for the bucket list for sure!

"Being human can be a very fragile experience, and not everyone is strong enough to beat their past." I'm using that one.

My grandmother was in a Japanese prison camp where people were beaten and starved, she has a reason to dislike. Getting your hat tossed on the ground, I don’t know…

@@itsmederek1everyone feels their own pain

​@@itsmederek1lol right. For all we know he could've walked by and accidentally bumped it off. Seems like a stupid thing to hold onto for almost 80 years.

I liked her perception that there are good and bad ppl. But America has ingrained hatred still

She truly grew up at a really bad time in history

Was just thinking that I can't blame her for her perception. She understands that there are good and bad people everywhere, but what happened to her personally is still such a lasting experience.

Wait I thought that was a bloke? There's no in-between for someone that age.

@@Lucavon Did you just assume whamen can't have wives?

That's so wholesome

I feel that goes for every immigrant to every country. At least try, I understand not being able to learn but for me personally it’s what must be done. We live in a more open world now and are more connected but I feel that the preservation of culture and language is extremely important.

@@divy_kun - It was made by a Danish cartoonist as comment to how covid-19 started.

​@@fuahuahuatime5196 thats all countries with immigrants tbh, just like the woman who went through war said. "There are good Americans and bad Americans, good Japanese and bad Japanese." America is far far far more aggressive from my own experience

We have a saying in Sweden "take the custom where it comes" if you visit here or any other countries. If I would visit Japan i would try to obey most of the rules, and if I decide to become a resident i would make sure I would take Japanese classes just to be able to read and speak Japanese.

@@agamersinsanity "When in Rome..." You'd think these sorts of things would be common sense - but it appears not!

But did they vote?

@@ChristopherCricketWallace Every young person says that, I used to say that a few years ago. But we are all very foolish and naïve when we are young. Old and young need to listen to each other. Young people sometimes have great ideas, But many of them the older generation has already tested out and can tell you why they don't work. Older people are also less likely to perform harmful actions or promote harmful polices for social media cred.

Seniors in tokyo who are down for a random interview are probably more open than your average senior tho

Its not the everyday sernior citizens you meet on the street thats the problem, it always has been the government/politicians

elderly in Japan have too much power, because a lot of Japanese youth preferred to be laidback, thus, the "Yutori" generation was born. A lot of them don't even vote, the voter turnout is so low among their generation so the old ones were able to retain their power

It says that they are comfortable with their prejudices if they acknowledge them and do nothing about them.... it means that really it's a case of 'legitimising the reality'.

@@occamraiser How do you know they did nothing? Did you have a camera crew following them?

Japan is their home, at the end of the day, the foreigners should adjust. They're too old to tolerate tourists.@@occamraiser

すごく素敵なエピソードですね。ホッコリしました😊❤

Don't come to Asian countries in the summer, bro. The humidity makes it HELL. I've seen an interview of an African person who came from an equatorial region, and he was saying that Japan feels hotter than his country. LOL

@@MIZZKIE It makes sense that Japan might have higher humidity than some parts of Africa because Japan is a narrow archipelago of land surrounded by water on all sides. You're never very far from the ocean in Japan. In the summer heat, the water continuously evaporates off the surface of the ocean and creates high humidity over the area. Some parts of Africa are very far from any large body of water so there isn't as much water available to saturate the local atmosphere.

This answer should be the standard. You can come to any country, as long as you follow it's rules. If not, deported. No racism, no xenophobia, just a plain understanding of not being ungrateful for the country and it's people. If you don't like the culture, go to another country that suits your taste. 💜

@@TK-tn7bcthat’s a nice way of looking at it

nah if go to India and Africa those foreigners are to be scammed, followed, harassed, that's such a L take 90% of the world isn't safe. Japan is safe for everyone. This coming from a immigrants son you won't last 2 weeks in India if you're white or Japanese

@@TweekSamaand that’s how you deflect criticism kids

WHO ASKED?

It is a simple courtesy that people who settle in a country should learn the language. However, 'Good morning, please and thank you' are sufficiently courteous if you are travelling on business or holiday, surely!

Japanese people are usually extremely kind too foreigners and very interested in us. Many old people will love to talk to you and find out about where you're from and take huge delight in seeing you engage with and learn about their own culture. But I worry this might change in a few decades if immigration becomes too high and they realize they risk losing their country and culture, Which is what happened in my country.

@@Cha4k yeah Swedistan, Canadaistan i haven't seen a white person in 2 weeks in canada, trash on the streets, high crime, single white moms in my dms with mixed children don't fall like canada

Perhaps if that old lady learnt how Japanese soldiers tortured common people before killing them, she might let go of her hate. One of the torture technique was to put hoses into mouth and rectum to pump in water, why do such things before killing ???? Really inhumane. But their govt shielded such information from their own citizens, so many of them are not aware of the atrocities.

Nonsense, he still looks 30

7 years here. And it is still counting! It is indeed a home for me to return when I'm abroad now.

@@phunweng962 It caught my ear when he said the farmers are in trouble. I was like I'm a farmer and I want to move to Japan. Maybe I could move to rural Japan and work at farm

WHO ASKED?

bro your name is wild can't believe someone named"giga niga" is commenting on an Asian boss video

Do you have any idea why is language so important to so many locals? I personally don't expect any foreigner to learn my country's language before visiting, especially since, just like Japanese, it's a difficult language for most outsiders to learn. I am actually trying to learn some key words/phrases wherever I go, in order to show my kind intentions towards the locals, but I'm already speaking multiple languages and wouldn't have time to learn an entire new one, also with a new alphabet, for just a 2 weeks vacation.

the chinese in NANJING would NOT feel that way

Asking the wrong question. Japan started a visa program for Southeast Asians to come and work 3 years in nursing homes. Japan Times did a poll of 2000 elderly all around Japan and 80% said they were opposed to the program.

@@rabbit251 The education in SEA is factually, significantly sub-par compared to Japan, why would they want lower standards of healthcare? Not to mention, language barrier? Seems you're more interested in looking for facts that confirm your pre-existing ideas about them instead of coming with an open mind to learn more about them. We have a word for that, racesm.

what a wonderful perspective you've shared for us all. As a Japanese, Shintoism felt very close to Native American spiritual beliefs, respecting the spirits of animals and nature. Thank you for sharing :)

Its a double edge sword. You dont want Japan to be infested by **** and ****** .

I think if all we immigrants were this way there would be no problems. But when there are too many too fast there is no incentive to integrate or learn the culture, And society becomes unstable. I'm very against people who do not integrate, But I have to be honest and say that if there was an abundance of people from my country then I might just choose the easy option and stay in an ethnic enclave and never integrate either. So I don't entirely blame other migrants for doing this, Its the governments job to tightly control the flow and ensure that integration is sustainable, And voters to make sure they elect leaders who will do so. Which is not what has happened in western countries.

@@Cha4k ,agreed. Let me just point out to you the changes in recent years, stemming from a decline in wealth of the Japanese supposed economic superpower. Let’s say I am an independent business owner who wants to benefit from this supposed wealth. I wouldn’t be welcome, I would never get approval from a rival Japanese company, I would never get a business license nor independent funding from the Japanese government. But, if, for example, I were a well trained nurse from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc., there would be no shortage of available opportunities. But….and this a big but, most of these applicants would face a bureaucratic hell. They would most willingly be offered jobs outside of legality, never could own homes or climb the ladder of economic success. And they would also face deportation at any given moment since no one would be responsible. In the light of the recent Ishikawa earthquake, many Nepalese and otherwise Asian residents were found among the survivors. I doubt they’d receive the same coverage as Japanese citizens would. I only say this because I have experienced countless hardships as a European citizen trying to obtain independence in my business whilst competing with Japanese companies. I would highly recommend legal procedures with the help of your own country’s legal system, before I’d ventured out into a labyrinth of Japanese government restrictions. Nothing can beat your own independence and financial security, God Bless

what is japanese mentality

@@omniyambot9876 , I am not an anthropologist and I won’t be writing a book about it, but taking the context in consideration,I would certainly say that the Japanese are traditionalists

The population issue will resolve itself within a decade or so. For very obvious reasons :P It might turn out to be a natural thing that happens when human populations reach a certain size. I dont think its a good idea for people to go meddle with mass immigration trying to fix it and likely causing far greater social issues.

@@Cha4k that might be the case but it will still mean the end of all those farms. Which would mean they would have to import food that they grow locally right now.

@@dankfarrik8376 would be nice if younger people could take over the farms, that would be a better solution than to import food to compensate for farms not being used.

@@SvengelskaBlondie absolutely, but that's the whole problem in Japan. Not enough young people. And the farmers that do have kids, a lot of them go to school and go do something else.

Probably polite. And should be. Had Japan won WW2 they would have decimated Asia. US won WW2 and now Japan is No 3 economy and a magnet for weebs. Old people in general tend to be laid back and more reserved. As people age, psychologically and physiologically changes occur which make them get less angry.

For what it's worth too, you probably get treated better there than the equivalent As'an male would get treated in your original country.

@@ectas741 My original country? It was one of the most tolerant countries in Europe. Japan destroyed whole industries in various countries. They should be happy that any foreigners visit. We helped Vietnamese and Koreans too in the 20th century. Please don't make light of the Japanese genocide of various Asian peoples. And now Japan complains when other countries create monuments to Korean comfort women. Can it get more real. Imagine the Germans complaining when the Brits commemorate the Blitz or something or the Holocaust.

@@peterc4082 Europe advertises tolerance, but practices intolerance . Japan advertises intolerance and practices intolerance. None of these wite males in Japan would switch places with an As'an dude in their country, if it was really better, then they would.

@@ectas741 You kidding? I'm from Vancouver... No one gets treated better than an Asian in Vancouver.

Your country does the same to foreigners, the 1st sentence

@@ectas741 I don't have an issue with it

対立しているのはわずかな一部の人々

Koreans and Japanese are completely deferent.

Absolutely agree with you

I've lived in Osaka and Kanagawa for 10 years and I've never experienced the gaijin seat tho. And it's understandable, given their circumstances, that they don't want to rent their homes to foreigners.

Japan is one of the most culturally exclsive countries in the world. One thing most westerners don't understand is how Japanese don't tell their true feelings, not even to their "friends" for many years, not to mention " on camera" + "to total strangers". Foreigners think interviewing some random Japanese people in the street with a camera pointing to their faces will show you what Japanese people really think? Think again.

I had none of these experiences, a Black American, i held jobs at Japanese tech companies, and pretty much went about my life for years in Japan. Stop caring what people think of you, then again I am pretty tall and fit, i doubt someone would say " i hate foreigners near me" - yea i did experienced the Gaijin bubble on train sometimes...meh.. more space for me lol

At the end of the day it doesn’t sound very problematic to you since you’ve been in Japan for 32 years

I live in Sweden and yeah it is necessary if you have committed a crime you shouldn't be allowed entry. That's what I want for this country, but sadly I'm starting to wonder if I should move once my daughter turns 19. It will only spiral further down when you have idiots for politicians.

Sadly, this just used to be common sense. You wouldn't let just anyone into your home, so why should a country just allow anyone in without seeing if they're a dangerous individual first? Then that puts the general population at risk. Wish American politicians would have a brain, instead of allowing thousands and thousands of people to literally walk through our border.

Sweden lost because women got power, liberalism is the cancer destroying every white country.

@@tryphenarose384 The United States is currently experimenting with admitting illegal immigrants. I think the results will come soon, the United States may be divided, I predict there will be chaos.

He said nothing wrong. They should only let GOOD people in. If you're a good person you have nothing to worry about.

@@alvinsmith3894 Good? Japan should only let high iq developed countries immigrants in if they get invaded by Syrians, war torn countries immigrants Japan will fall like Sweden. Culture integration matters more than anything. Indians, Africans are the opposite of Japanese people. The ones who are similar are from western countries and grew up in a developed system

i love the way people coddle the racist Japanese mentality, if it was America you would be screaming @@alvinsmith3894

Nobody in their right mind is gonna say no to a well behaved and experienced engineer or doctor with no criminal background and who knows the native language.

he just basically described current japanese immigration policy (a bit of a stricter version too). if he wants skilled workers to migrate to japan, he should be advocating for better working conditions and for laws that actually entice foreign workers like offering more international scholarships while funding national universities, or offering social assistance/assurances or other incentives for immigration. this would incidentally also help native japanese workers too

I liked that guy the most. He is realistic. I hope they don't just accept anyone like europe did

especially highly religious people with vastly different values

@@Depreuz Lmao, but that's not really the case, is it? Most developed countries also have difficulties filling out the jobs no one wants to do like construction, plumbing and hospitality. Low income labour. Lower class labour. The problem with the European countries that are messing up is that they have made no concrete effort to assimilate and provide a path for integration of foreign immigrants. They've just housed them either in districts reserved just for them or scattered them about in random neighbourhoods (Why? Probably because they only aligned pro-immigration as a political gain and didn't really care about the aftermath?). Not the way to go. Could learn from places like Singapore and such, and apply intelligent social engineering.

dont visit korea though.

They don't usuaIIy say that, that is just an assumption or media narrative that is pushed

As a Canadian I'm sorry for your experience in Japan many Korean people I know have suffered this racism and even Chinese people have suffered it in fact according to the United Nations Japan is most racist against its neighbors. For some reason they love the white skin but it is the same white people that committed genocide against them in Hiroshima Nagasaki and Tokyo during the war. Japanese people don't think logically most of the time.
