Reblogging again for THIS ↑↑↑↑ THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE POST I’VE SEEN ON TUMBLR I now want to visit Japan even more.

It’s more ignorance(lack of knowledge of a race OR the Japanese stereotype of a race) than it is “treating someone like shit” Also there’s always bad people in any country so maybe you’ve only heard the stories about the bad people. Aw thats really cute then and makes a lot more sense then people being treated improperly.  I had a great hour long conversation with some 80 year old man who just approached my friend and I at Asakusa temple. We talked exactly about this and he was like “I love people! I love meeting people! Japanese are just shy we don’t learn about people in school, that’s why I learned English after the war, I want to be your friend” it was a nice talk, and the younger generation has TV & internet now so they’re less ignorant imho. Tons of schools do exchanges as well, it’s definitely different now than it was say 20-30 years ago. politeness <333
