Japan is so weird yet so cool, yet so weird. I also love how they are allowed to be more xenophobic than pretty much anybody who isn't approaching peak-skinhead, and nobody says a word about it. (In context of 'global refugee crisis' that is.)

I think it extends beyond that. All the Japanese people I know are a bit racist; To the extent that they make immediate assumptions about people in regard to ethnicity, especially about black and Chinese people. But I also feel they realise they are making blanket assumptions that don't apply to everyone.I also love how they are allowed to be more xenophobic than pretty much anybody who isn't approaching peak-skinhead, and nobody says a word about it.
