The objective of this account is to rant against all the western centric voices (especially in Japan)

普通に「永住権」と言うものなんだけど、国語力が低すぎるアホなネトウヨの理解。

@tweet_tokyo_web @Sin_nippon その通りなんだよな。
あ���は政府が、許可してるのであって、権利でもなんでもない。許認可です。取り消しも当然あり得るんです。

高市内閣総辞職させてくれ

[Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸 @mrjeffu]

Japan's foreign population has nearly doubled in the last 25 years, but crime by foreigners is down 40%.
"On social media, xenophobic posts claiming that public safety worsens as the foreign population increases have been growing, and calm, data-based discussion is needed."

🚨 Being anti-migration in a country with a plummeting birth rate and a third of its population over 65.

Yeh good luck with that.

@callistoroll Maybe tell them sorry for being a racist piece of shit?

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

@Page331Page @Arin_Yumi Contrary to popular biases, most immigrants living in Japan speaking Japanese are South, South East, and other East Asians.

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

@OmegaRaiijin @LoyalistPa @Arin_Yumi Still at a much lower rate compared to native Japanese committing crimes but yes, scapegoat the population whom the system and people like you treat as modern day slaves through a deplorable immigration status 🤓

@justalexoki This entire thread is why prejudiced western folks are insufferable

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

@Scratch_Point_Z @justalexoki Right, they just need to be rescued by our labour and taxes instead.

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

@mrjeffu Of course LUUP, scooters, and go karts will be blamed and held accountable as long as it’s white western people.

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

@JapanGov #LandofDiversity only when it’s western white folks 🤧

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

And yet all the foreigners’ voices and whining only comes from western folks

@capsulebutt On today’s episode of yt (passing) ppl so badly wanting to be oppressed and experience racism

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

I tried to further ask him where it’s written or wrote this rule, and he could only come up with 上の人. He tried shifting the topic to how I must’ve lived here long enough to speak Japanese so good and how I didn’t look “Indian” enough; but oh well

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

Not like I’d ever wanna go to one of those sleazy 歌舞伎町 maid-cafe/soapland places which objectify tf out of women, but this time, it didn’t turn out to be that experience where my solicitor is embarrassed after I scream, “I’M GAY!”

[Non western Tokyoite @3rdworldinTokyo]

When I couldn’t wait any longer, I whip out my 在留カード to show him I’m Indian; his paled out face was worth looking at. When I raised my voice saying that’s just simply racism since every country has a different culture, he obviously didn’t have an answer.

@GaijinMommy Ah yes, the world where gaijins = only global north foreigners
