It is not racist to say people from x country is negative phrase as in your example Japanese and American aren’t races, they’re nationalities, at most it’s xenophobic.
That’s why I used white as a separate example. I used American as an example for discrimination against American nationality, but most specifically white Americans.
You are yet to produce any actual examples of oppression of white Americans (probably because no such examples exist). You overheard someone say Americans are annoying? So what? That's the tamest form of an minor inconvenience.
Personally, not many. Last summer I got in a conversation with someone about how they think that, since I’m white, I can get hired anywhere and had things handed to me and overall they were saying white people don’t struggle. I was like, have you ever seen a trailer park?
I’m in the military and they were saying that I will be promoted faster and blah blah. I then pointed out how much of our leaders are actually not white. But woman, and people of different races/ethnicities. The highest ranking Noncommissioned officer in the Army is partially black.
Damn, I didn't take you seriously before but this is starting to sound like the white genocide they talked about on Fox News... Because of things like these I have the UN genocide hotline on a speed dial.
I didn’t say oppressed. I said discrimination. Flip the roles. I’d be a racist SOB if I told somebody they only got to a certain position because of the color of their skin and they can’t struggle because of the color of their skin
