I won't pretend to know about everywhere in Asia but the number of Google Map reviews in Tokyo complaining about stores "employed by foreigners" can be jarring
That's xenophobia not racism. Correct me if I'm wrong.
In the case of Japanese, my experiences tell me it comes from the same place. At least with older generations. They don't want foreigners tainting their genepool because it would be a detriment to it.
I started dating a Japanese girl in highschool, her parents found out I was white and forbade her fro. Seeing me. "We are very traditional" was what her father said.
Now if my daughter brings home a black guy and I insist that its "traditional" that she doesnt date him because he isnt white...
You see it’s only racism when it’s from the white supremacy region of society, everything else is just sparkling xenophobia
Xenophobia fueled by racism
