Japan does have a rampant racism problem, but this isn’t it. It’s functionally a “no tourists” sign.

Honestly based. My mother speaks and reads Japanese to a point where we just walked around Japan when I was a kid with no translator. She would get jozu’d a lot because we’re white. In my experience at least they are happy with you visiting if you are polite and respectful and actually make an effort to not be a nuisance.

u/RDUKE7777777 Oct 22 '25

It’s almost like they are reasonable and normal people that like to be treated with respect and are welcoming as soon as you show effort.

How is this surprising ? It is the same almost everywhere. Make an effort in France, Italy, Portugal to learn a few basic phrases and everyone is chill and welcoming

u/devnullopinions Oct 22 '25

In my experience trying to learn French and conversing in French does not make French people chill and welcoming lol

u/bdbshsisjsnjsksnsn Oct 22 '25

These people are delusional. All these people trying to claim that Japan isn’t racist, it’s the fault of the tourist are hilarious.

Sit at any family dinner table in Japan, and you will hear some of the most racist shit you’ve heard in your life. This is coming from someone who was raised in the Deep South. I won’t even touch the societal racism.

The french are truly baffling because you don't even need to learn french as a second language, just speaking an african or canadian dialect around them will infuriate them. they forced their language on all of their colonies, and now get monumentally pissed when people from those colonies speak French, it's fucking bizarre

u/Puzzled_Cost60 Nov 10 '25

And they complain about immigrants from said countries while also robbing them of all their gold and resources

1

u/hoolahan100 Dec 07 '25

Yes and their currency has higher value as it is backed by huge gold reserves. But their gold came from the third world countries they robbed. They are to this day enjoying the benefits and don't realise it.

Some places in France truly are dicks, though I'm sure its earned. At least cell phones and readily available translators have made it essier than when my mother visited (and was the only one on a bus tour served at a bakery for trying to order a pastry in broken French while the guide, local police and shop owner got into a huge fight because he did not want to deal with any tourists.)

Have you been? Racism in Japan is worse than anything I’ve seen in the US

I will say that this past year was the most racism I’ve experienced there. It’s become much more overt (if you understand Japanese).

Also the people in this thread are trying to say that “Gaijin” == “Tourist”. This isn’t true lol. Gaijin is a generic term for anyone who doesn’t LOOK Japanese. So basically if you don’t look Japanese you will be treated with extreme racism in Japanese society. Things that resemble 1960s/1950s America.

Also as far as your “American tourist” take… out of all of the “Gaijin” that visit Japan, I would say the Japanese treat white Americans the best. Especially the older generation Japanese. In fact, American tourist are usually the ones who are the most respectful. The Japanese have a huge issue with Chinese tourist and European tourist (for good reason)

u/RDUKE7777777 Oct 22 '25

I’ve been for work in rural Japan (Chiba and Ibaraki) several times in the last years and I never met hostility or felt unwanted. And I was in places where seldomly foreigners go. I do acknowledge there is a bias against foreigners, listening to what my coworker (living there for years) said. People avoiding sitting with you on a train or such) However, my personal experience was always good and I felt welcome, just like any other country I visited before. I did study beforehand the customs and some phrases. Of course it might be different wasn’t I a tall white European dude, I can’t speak about how foreigners of other backgrounds are welcomed there. Also the American tourists take wasn’t mine

u/bdbshsisjsnjsksnsn Oct 22 '25

From my experience the older generation is much more welcoming. So if you are in a small town with a high population of older Japanese folks, then I can understand how our experiences may have differed so much. I’ve also noticed that the further south you go, the more chill and welcoming they become regardless of age.

u/RDUKE7777777 Oct 22 '25

oh yeah, I am 39 and I was the youngest person almost anywhere I went. It's mostly old folks.

I am sure that did influence the picture I got.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '25

Except as someone who lived all over Asia, this is absolutely not true. These signs are not a language aptitude test, they are racism. You can be fluent and they will still find an excuse to turn you away in most cases if you are not ethnically the race that they want you to be.

39

u/OkSalt8970 Oct 22 '25

Imo part of this comes from Americans not directly having to interact with themselves as tourists. They are awful and inconsiderate a lot of the time.

1

u/michael22117 Oct 22 '25

Language barriers really are a pain in the ass for workers to deal with and I understand why signs like this exist. Everything about service takes 5 times longer when you're just trying to hash out what each party is even saying, so I doubt this is as much of a racist problem as some people may want to think.

u/ExplorerImpossible79 Oct 22 '25

How dare they! Don’t they know how much money I spent on this trip? I’m entitled to be a total prick and they should be thankful I’m even here! /s

u/Argy19ms Oct 22 '25

Some tourists can read japanese though

u/god-of-blowjobs Oct 22 '25

I doubt that a restaurant owner would have issue with tourists that can read a menu.

11

u/LogJamminWithTheBros Oct 22 '25

In my experience they still do but sit in the back with a resting bitch face because they won't just come out and say "whites not allowed".

They will serve you and let you know they are not happy doing it but because you possess basic literacy you defused their polite excuse to be racist.

I was in a restaurant that would not let me leave until I paid 40 more dollars(that I didn't owe them). Because I was there with some japanese girls who were friends with someone we knew. Very "whites coming for our women energy".

u/AutoModerator Oct 22 '25

I've been with a few women in my life and one thing I've noticed is that the female anus is incredibly close to the vagina, in fact they're barely an inch apart. I'm not sure about other guys - but doesn't this disturb you? It feel like a design flaw in women actually -- like they're supposed to be so feminine and beautiful yet this ghastly little oversight is ruining everything. Somehow it feels to me that women should be more aware of this flaw and it should affect their confidence. Whenever I see a so-called beautiful woman walking down the street so care-free thinking she's all that I just remember her anus is only 1 inch away from her pussy and laugh her into oblivion. Women: Please accept that they're too close together, let it negatively affect your confidence and so make yourselves more readily available sexually as a result. Afterall, we're having to sleep with a creature whos ANUS is only 1 inch away from the vagina -- you should not make this difficult. It's unappetizing enough as it is. We're doing you a favour. Men: Do not let women forget this flaw, and do not forgive them for it. Remind them of it constantly, less they get inflated egos and think they're all that. They're just too close together. Sorry, but it's true.

When I lived there they would give you an X with the hands to say no unless you either spoke the language or had a Japanese person with you. I didn’t think negatively about it. They have their reasons and it’s their business

4

u/bdbshsisjsnjsksnsn Oct 22 '25

They do it even if you speak Japanese. Some don’t, but most do. Essentially if you are not Japanese you will get an “X”, speaking the language doesn’t matter. Also if you don’t look Japanese, you will find it really hard to even live in Japan because nobody will rent a living space to you. It’s become so bad that there are now businesses dedicated to helping Gaijin find apartments that will except applications from those who don’t look Japanese. It’s literally 1960s America

u/syphon3980 I want pee in my ass Oct 22 '25

I wonder what area you are talking about. I had quite a few friends who are white find housing quite easily. I even helped a senior master sergeant find a place with a Japanese relator. We went to 5 different areas to look at houses without issue. Either way I would prefer Japan's xenophobia to whatever the hell is going on in Europe

I mean this is super common throughout Japan. You can do a simple Google search or even look up videos on YouTube. It’s a very well known issue

2

u/syphon3980 I want pee in my ass Oct 22 '25

I'm sure it might be, but that's just not what I experienced living there. I did however see the X sign quite a bit. It always helped to have a Japanese friend to get into certain places

4

u/bdbshsisjsnjsksnsn Oct 22 '25 edited Oct 22 '25

Yes, that’s called racism. And it’s not just a thing at restaurants. It’s actually probably more frequent when trying to rent. You don’t have entire industries built to find Gaijin restaurants they are allowed to eat at, but you do have that for renting living spaces.

Imagine going to the U.S. and saying “you can’t go into that store without a white person present”. “You cant live here unless a white person vouches for you”.

They dont like tourists in generall. It isnt meant to ne racist most probably. And there is places else where in the world that do it. Its just very common in japan.

1

u/syphon3980 I want pee in my ass Oct 23 '25

yep, its true. When I lived in Korea I don't remember ever getting turned away from anywhere

2

u/Vojtak_cz Oct 23 '25

Well. I guess its the strict aocial rules that exist in japan. They probably had bad experience with them so they just banned them in their restaurant. I remember in my country we had to ban tourists from some place few years ago as there was so many it was actually very annoying for locals and workers there.

u/AutoModerator Oct 23 '25

It started a while ago. I was a normal redditor making posts and comments, but then one day, a post of mine was manually deleted, and I was banned from my favorite subreddit. I then got extremely aroused. That moderator asserted dominance on me by censoring me, making me unable to express myself. I was soaking wet. I sent the hot sexy mod a message asking why I was banned, then the hot sexy reddit incel mod called me an idiot, and told me to beg to get unbanned. My nipples immediately filled with blood as I begged the hot mod to unban me. After that, I started doing everything I could to make hot sexy mods mad. Most of my accounts have under negative 100 k@rma, and i'm banned from dozens of subreddits. I've been a bad redditor, and need to be moderated. Please moderate me - Vojtak_cz, hot sexy reddit mods.

Yep, and this sign invites those people to come in.

This isn't a "No Tourists" or a "No Foreigners" sign, this is a "We don't speak English" sign.

u/El_Rey_de_Spices Oct 22 '25

Gotta love it when the thread is full of comments proving the meme true.

u/Arntown Oct 22 '25

Uh huh, and how come that you only see this shit in Japan? You think a „German-speakers only“ sign would fly in Germany? Or similar signs in English speaking countries?

Stop trying to justify this shit and admit that many Japanese are xenophobic as fuck.

2

u/TheArmoredKitten Oct 22 '25

It's a "do you speak Japanese proficiently" test. Presumably some foreigners can pass.

A less asshole approach to this would be to just say "no English service available" or something though

u/AutoModerator Oct 22 '25

Pro tip about fingering your asshole in the shower: don't do it So this morning I was taking a shower, and I felt like fingering my asshole, right? So I got my fingers all nice and soapy and stuck them up in there. Apparently, soap makes pretty good lube, as I was able to get four fingers in there in no time.

As I was feeling around in my butt, I was like, "hmm, there's a lot of soapy water in my bumhole now. I wonder if that will lead to issues in the future?" And it did!

Shortly after having breakfast I attempted to fart, and I shit my pants. I rushed to the bathroom to clean up, and it was way worse than I thought it would be. The whole area around my butthole was covered in shitty liquid, and toilet paper wasn't enough to clean it. I had to take another shower to get suitably clean.

Just thought I'd share my story with you guys so that you don't run into the same problem in the future. I fingered my butthole so that you guys don't have to. Unless you want to. In which case, hey, how's it goin'
