This is where I keep interesting links I find on the Web; to read when I have the time, if that day ever comes.... If you are offended by any of the links I have added, so be it. I really couldn't care less... It is what it is and that's all there is to it! However, always remember to deduct half of everything you read and take the remainder with a huge grain of salt!
One more thing; "anything is possible, nothing is impossible"....
I beg to differ. The Japanese have the concept of face which causes them to become upset and even violent if they feel embarrassed.
A friend once told me of two old ladies beating a beggar with their umbrellas for begging in the street and embarrassing Japan in front of the Gaijin.
They aren't very charitable for the most part and they pick on those who are different. I've seen TV show excerpts where they all bully the fat kid in a group.
Uniformity is as big with them as conformity. They don't like anyone being different. They get ostracised very quickly.
Look up buraku-min and see how they were treated (and how their descendants still are). Or even the Japanese who went to Brazil. Their descendants who go back to Japan get treated as second class citizens.
Even Westerners who go to Japan to work have a hard time. Try renting a place there, for example.
And mixed couples get treated very shabbily. Their children even more so.
I knew about the "face" thing and figured that would have something to do with the fact that they are disciplined and stoic and don't riot as some others we know about would do. I didn't know about some of those other things though. Oh well, one lives and learns every day! And that nobody's perfect ;o)
And yet, Japan is never denounced as a racist nation by the West. Seems like only whites are not allowed to be racist. Had we been as racist as the Japanese, the European nations would not have had the immigration problem that we now have. And we wouldn't be taking shit from the Muslims, either.
Yes, indeed. The Japanese have many good qualities that we seem to lack in the west...
