      Japan isn't racist, more like pre-racist IMO. The society isn't diverse enough yet to even become racist.

      @tomoakiyama @Japanese4Morons not to say that that is necessarily racism. But whatever it is it's annoying and unworthy of respect/tolerance

      Replying to @Locohama

      @Locohama @Japanese4Morons In Japan it's mostly ignorance and lack of awareness due to lack of diversity/exposure.

      @tomoakiyama I also agree with @Locohama that being white has its advantages here @Japanese4Morons

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

      Replying to @Locohama

      @Locohama @Nictos My concern is Japan will be exposed to as much diversity as US/EU in the future and similar racism will take root.

      @tomoakiyama @Locohama @Nictos agree that Japan is difficult to judge by standards of West because root of problem(lack of exposure) differs

      @Kishakishi @tomoakiyama @Nictos What is lack of exposure? I think that needs clarification

      @Locohama @tomoakiyama @Nictos Most Japanese people have never spoken to (or been in same room with) a non-Asian foreigner.

      @Kishakishi @tomoakiyama @Nictos I think the same can be said of a high number of white people in America (outside of big cities)

      @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.

      @Kishakishi @tomoakiyama @Nictos Maybe you're special ;-) But the truth, most white people who have a black friend, have one black friend.

      @Locohama @tomoakiyama @Nictos "friend" is different. Even being served by someone in a shop is "exposure" (more than Japan)

      Replying to @Kishakishi

      @Kishakishi @tomoakiyama @Nictos I'd say exposure is is only relevant to an extent. One attitude towards race is a more important factor
