@tomoakiyama@Japanese4Morons not to say that that is necessarily racism. But whatever it is it's annoying and unworthy of respect/tolerance2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@Locohama@Japanese4Morons In Japan it's mostly ignorance and lack of awareness due to lack of diversity/exposure.6 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Nictos@tomoakiyama@Japanese4Morons If so, then that clearly indicates a race-consciousness that goes beyond "pre-racial" a little no?4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Locohama@tomoakiyama@Nictos Really? That surprises me. But I've never been to such areas (I'm British). Don't feel it's true in UK.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
