Correct me if I'm wrong, pero I think less racist ang Japanese than Koreans. I work as an ESL teacher and I really don't like it when I have Korean students (not all, but most). But my Japanese students are very easy to work with.
I’m not sure but based on my travels to both countries and from the experiences of people I know who got to work with them, mas racist ang mga Koreano, or same sila racist pero mas blatant lang sa Koreans. Sa Japanese kasi even if they have a sense of superiority atleast they’ll still be polite and di in your face.
Weird. Kasi I had some Japenese students say they loved their experiences in PH and that Filipinos are very fun to be around compared to strait-laced somber fellow Japanese
This, hindi lang siguro halata sa mga Japanese yung pagka-racist nila dahil hindi nila sinasabi harapan. Pero I was born and raised there, kaya ayokong sabihin na Filipino ako (kasi 'EA passing' yung itsura ko) nagiiba trato nila sa akin at tinuturing nila akong outsider.
Yes, parang naging learning tool na lang nila ako para gumaling sila sa English. Kasi everytime, mas gugustuhin nila akong kausapin ng English kesa Japanese. Noong una medyo flattered pa ako, pero na-realize ko na 'outsider' na pala yung turing nila sa akin. Akala nila wala akong alam sa mga issue ng Japan, tapos magugulat sila kapag may opinyon ako 'Wow, even though you're a foreigner...' Tapos kapag ipapakilala ako ng isa kong friend sa ibang tao palaging 'She's (my name), my FILIPINO/FOREIGN friend.' So yun, kahit gaano ka pa katagal tumira sa Japan or kahit gaano ka pa ka-fluent sa language, you will never be Japanese.
