[QUOTE=SoloTraveler;2127008]Well, I blame the East Asians who live in the West permanently for giving all of us a bad image in the West.
Whenever I visit a Western country, the local people always automatically assume that I am no different than those who live in the local Chinese / Japanese / Korean neighborhood.
For example, they assume that I must speak poor English with weird accent, I must eat rice and noodles in the Asian restaurant only, I must be good at math and bad at sports, etc bullshit).
No. We are not the same at all.
East Asians from East Asia is absolutely different from the ones living in the West permanently.
It's like Africans from Africa is absolutely different from the ones living in the West.
I heard a story about a Nigerian professor from Nigeria. He visited the US, and he was treated like shit. It turned out that it was because people automatically assume he was no different from the African-Americans who were involved in crime.
I always feel the same way when I visit Western countries. I always feel that I'm not treated as an independent individual..[/QUOTE]Well depend, Japan is G5 nations among G7, among G20 we call nowadays. But G5 is the core central nations of the world. This is plane fact.
I never face some real racism in Europe or FKK, but one thing I face which is prejudice which sometimes happen in FKK, that is Romanian girls thinking that I am easy in room, no Romanians, wrong guy LOL.
Other than that, Asians in general got good rep I think, I never faced any problem. And higher the society is in Europe, more at least in case of Japan are respected as our products are branded as luxury or fashionable there.
As for the language, yeah but that is true statement though, most of Asians speak bad English. I do not have heavy accent, but I still cannot pronounce L and are, but again, European never discriminated me and I lived in EU long time before and now I still go to Europe.
