Today we are going to see some generalizations and prejudiced stereotypes that the Japanese face of Brazilians and other nationalities. Are the Japanese prejudiced or the opposite?
Many question the fact that Japanese are racist, prejudiced or xenophobic, but they have no arguments. Many end up calling the Japanese prejudiced just because of their shyness and difficulty in socializing.
What people always forget is that prejudice and racism are found all over the world. People who call the Japanese prejudiced are only proving that they are prejudiced themselves.
In this article, we are going to show some points that show the prejudice that the Japanese face in Brazil and around the world, thus showing that the mistake is exactly on the opposite side.

The idea that Japanese people only like Orientals
Some people think that the Japanese only like to socialize with Asians. They create an idea that Japanese people just want a pure race and to be friends only with Japanese people. A totally wrong idea, which results in several embarrassing situations and causes the idea that Japanese are racist.
Many Japanese people don't relate to Westerners because of shyness, and sometimes Westerners' introversion can scare some Japanese. Still, this judgment is a complete mistake, Japanese people like to meet people and expand their circle of friendship.
How did this myth come about? Unfortunately the Japanese suffered a lot of prejudice from Brazilians after the second world war, so many descendants who live in Brazil were frowning.
Surely there must be those traditionalist and nationalist families. But many Orientals dream of marrying Westerners, some focus entirely on that, especially the gaijin hunter.
Obsession with the body and genitals of the Japanese
Unfortunately, some make jokes and criticisms regarding height, the male genital organ or the size of the body or breasts of Japanese women. I consider it a great offense and lack of respect!
It's no size competition. Talking about such a useless subject just shows how much shit people have in their heads. I myself prefer a thousand times the bodies of Japanese women, than these tons of fat present in the West.
In fact, I even wrote an article that shows that japanese breasts are large and proportionate to their body size. Those who make fun, make jokes or care about things like that are such empty people.
Shout random or non-existent words
If you consider saying: takakara nomuro one kidding, you're being insensitive. People unfortunately make fun of the eastern language, speak random words like arigatou just as a mockery.
Others call the language weird, ugly and pose a difficulty that doesn't exist. I personally am tired of studying the language, and ignorant people coming in with jokes and criticism.
People just have no idea how rich the Japanese language can be. For wasting time with these little jokes that many Brazilians can't even learn English.
The article is still halfway through, but we recommend also reading:
No respect for Nationality, it's all slanted eyes
First, the Japanese see perfectly well, and even better, since their slanted eyes serve as protection against the ultraviolet radiation reflected by the snow.
Ordering the Japanese to open their eyes, or categorizing Asians, changing nationality for being similar, are degrading attitudes and pure envy of the beauty of slanted eyes. Do you think it's good to send a Brazilian to stop being a bandit?
In fact, the difficulty that Brazilians have to differentiate Japanese also happens the other way around. Orientals have difficulty differentiating westerners, this happens because of a brain bug due to the lack of coexistence with certain racial characteristics.
Do you eat those weird foods? only eat sushi?
Another problem is the ignorance of thinking that Japanese eat insects, dogs and other things that are considered disgusting, or imagine that sushi is a daily dish in Japan.
In fact, eating sushi in Japan is the same as eating Pizza in Brazil, do you eat Pizza every day? In Japan you eat rice, meat, noodles, vegetables and greens like anywhere else. The Japanese just don't eat beans.
In Japan you don't eat insects or things that look disgusting in the eyes of westerners, as it is a rich country, while those countries that consume certain strange things, most of the time it is due to poverty.
Before insulting people, they should study a little. Another thing that unfortunately Japanese have to put up with are stupid questions like:
- You know how to eat with a stick, right?
- Do you have a fork in your house?
Flange Pastry with Catupili
That's the famous phrase, and one of the biggest insults to both the Chinese and the Japanese. First of all this is an insult to the Chinese language, showing the range of people's ignorance.
In the Japanese language there is no "L“, see the video below showing that Japanese actually speak FURANGO PASUTERU.
I don't know anything about Japanese, I'll make things up
Por ser japonês, as pessoas acham que eles tem que ser super inteligentes, fazer equações matemáticas enormes, construir robôs, tem que ser higiênico, educado... Acham que todos são iguais, e que não há diversidade cultural entre eles.
Along with the various reasons mentioned above, Japanese still have to put up with nicknames like Japanese, or with words from Portuguese that look like Japanese. Not to mention the thousands of criticisms about Japanese culture and customs that they don't even know.
These jokes are nothing more than disguised racism. Difficulty accepting the eastern descendant as an ordinary Brazilian citizen. Before calling Japanese people prejudiced, look at your own belly buttons.
These were just some of the factors that show who really suffers discrimination, will it be Brazilians or Japanese? Of course, this whole subject is delicate and relative.
So before jumping to conclusions we should also understand a little about the Japanese prejudice towards Westerners. Comment and Share if possible, so that people can reflect on these attitudes.
