@JPSlimeoriginal@Aoi_wa @Zfuggetaboutit @TheLaurenChen Corruption is ubiquitous and must always be fought but will never disappear. You telling us that that is "the problem" tells me you don't know what's really going on. Westerners (I'm one of them, been in Japan 12 years) are bring Marxism and communism to Japan. Have fun w/ that
@JPSlimeoriginal@TheLaurenChen "Japanese" could refer to ethnicity, nationality (which is a legal thing), or culture. The most important thing is culture which is mainly about where you were raised. It's not just "are you Japanese or not," there are many dimensions. Ethnicity is not irrelevant. Diseases+earwax
@gun3ro@JPSlimeoriginal@TheLaurenChen No, not really. Once people learn that you were raised in Japan, most intelligent people will realize that that is what really matters. Some people will forever continue to ask you if you prefer bread over rice, be surprised when you're good at chopsticks or kanji etc.
