No, but some of the older generation are. Most now view internationalisation as essential and are quite welcoming.

The problem is that while most foreigners adapt well to the culture, small groups refused to integrate and complain that things are different or worse to their own country. This jingoistic attitude and refusal to adapt to the way of life is what causes tensions between groups in the society. It isn't racism that is on display, more anger that a minority is refusing to even try and fit in.


basically a large percentage of immigrants who move the the US


I was describing the behaviour of Americans in Japan. They are the group who cause the most problems. Many of the ones I have had to deal with have come across as stuck up, jingoistic and utterly obnoxious. Their superiority complex and lack of social graces is why I have a little respect for US culture, as I now firmly believe American culture preaches a superiority above others, and this is just wrong.

In my time, I've seen;
Americans refuse to bow, play music on their iphones on the quiet carriage of the shinkansen and punch a conductor when they complained.

Americans who refuse to bow to anyone sighting "I only bow to Jesus".

Constantly being late and making excuses. Never taking personal responsibility.

One pissed out of our office window located in a high rise building.

One keyed a bosses car.

When I first came to Japan I was a teacher. One idiot stole our school register and started calling teachers and students out for dates. Naturally he was fired.

I had one guy refuse to obey the traffic laws and used to cycle on the wrong side of the road saying crap like "They've gotta learn" and then crashed into a police car. I had to go and apologize on our company's behalf for his behaviour.

One coworker told me about how one American was using the office to have sex with. He had been caught in the action when the manager came in after noticing the light was on at night.

My former boss told me about how one got into a drunken brawl with a policeman. This happens often.

There are but a few of my extensive experiences dealing with Americans here.


bowing is a form of subservience, screw that.

I think it's more to do with their OCD-levels of cleanliness and not wanting to shake hands in order to avoid transferring germs and sickness. You can't go to any centre there without some kid handing you tissues. I've never seen that anywhere else I've been.

I doubt any of this actually happened and that you have never been to Japan.

It's because of a terrorist attack in Tokyo in 1995. The terrorists utilized Sarin gas which killed a bunch of people and injured thousands. One of the responses was to get rid of trash cans in Tokyo as they were potential hiding spots for chemical weapons. Other cities followed suit afterward.


That's a really fucking stupid reason.

There is no law that says you have to bow to someone.

I don't really care what you think is true or not. But I am in Japan, these things really happen, and I will continue to post each and every bloody infraction I see Americans (and others if need be) do until you guys learn to behave.

Come 2020 when your most ignorant get busted in Japan, and the crime stats show Americans caused the most problems, then I will be proven right.

Trick question since basically every country's population is racist one way or another, especially the ones who pretend they're not... Japanese folks just pretend less.

What you do is headbutt the nearest table or counter when bowing.

Well, it would seem you're wasting time then. If you actually want lots of Americans to come across this, post it on any platform other than GameFAQs.
