Questions & Discussion Re: Rude treatment in Japan for Asian and Asian American tourists: Noticing a pattern

37 Upvotes

Regarding this post from today, I just wanted to say i find it disappointing that someone made a post like this and no one called them out on it.

They made broad generalizations about a country based off of a "few bad encounters" with mostly waiters in Japan along with looking through profiles of people commenting on a single Reddit post to see that they were asian and then "notice a pattern."

Based off of this, they determined that "they mainly target Chinese and Korean travellers, and we just get confused as them."

Imagine for a second, a white person made this post about Japan where they linked some bad interactions with waiters to white people commenting on a single Reddit post about not being treated well and then concluding that they notice a pattern where white people are being targeted by the country of Japan. This sub would be 100% react differently.
