Hated, like hated allot in Japan for being a white Canadian? ?

I'm japanese.

most japanese don't hate white guys, we look at you in spite of myself cuz we have few opportunities to hear native English.

we avoid them (you think so), cuz if they ask us anything, cannot catch what they are trying to say.

and when anyone is talking with foreigners other japanese are look at them, thinking 「can he speak English ?」 I think it's strange, but I dont want them to be watched , so we avoid foreigners sometimes.

but if you talk to japanese, surprisingly, they are trying to help you.

please don't feel that we hate you guys. we're friends we know.

please don't hate us too ! lol

There are many, many white Canadians in Japan and they are not hated by the Japanese. Your treatment will depend largely on your attitude - which frankly from your post doesn't bode well. The person who does well has an open mind and not think they have "this hole thing figured out". How could you have an inkling, if you have never spent any considerable time in Japan before?

It looks more like you have just a bunch of tall tales, distorted exaggerations of easy girls and Japanese almost prostrating themselves in front of you.

Your appearance as you describe is not mainstream so you are already going to have some people distance themselves from you - for others with a more open mind you can make some good friends by bridging the gap.

First, nice rant. Couple of questions thrown in for good measure but.....

1- You won't be anything exotic.

2- Girls won't be falling all over you.

3- You won't be asked to have your pic taken all the time. Now, once you have become friends, they might want a pic of themselves and 'the oddity'.

4- I remember that union jack bandana and canadian flag buckle thing. You were told that you might look at bit strange. They won't laugh in your face.

5- I'm familiar with your kind. You can find other Japanese kids like you. Just not all that easily.

6- Forget the bars that won't let you in. You don't have the money for those. They aren't your type and you aren't their type. You might even have some problems getting into some WITHOUT signs.

You don't sound like a dick. The 'retard' classification though. Why post something that would make you sound like 'retard'? Sounds more to me like you are trying to impress everyone with your 'uniqueness' and 'bad boy' attire. That doesn't really fly and if you sound like a 'retard', this is the main area that causes such.

I've read all your questions. And, I answered for you once or twice. This time, I will tell you my honest feeling you want to know.

1) I guess you wanted to know if you would accepted in Japan.

You often asked racial features. But, you didn't find that you highly insulted Japanese by your question. Japanese people usually express negative things euphemistically. You lack this ability, and will give Japanese people displeasure. This is one typical thing that the vast majority of Japanese people hate.

You have been asking the similar questions persistently. It is also highly hated in Japan. "Don't bother others" is one of the most important manners/customs in Japan. You lack this, too.

2) As for punk, vast majority of Japanese people treat them as scum. For even "unusual" people, it is quite old-fashioned, I think. It doesn't recommend any person.

3) You have been asking the similar questions repetitiously. It proves the lack of confidence. I think that most people feel it is unmanly.

4) Your race won't be a problem in Japan however your speech and behavior will cause many troubles in Japan. Obviously, Japanese people hate those who can't understand the mood/atmosphere. Actually, these people were called KY and it was a popular word years ago.

5) There are some people who insist Japanese people are racists in this section. These people tend to flee from the reality, and they often conclude that Japanese people are racists. I think you can understand this fact through their comments because their comments are relevant to above-mentioned facts. These people are called "extrapunitive type." And, they are not evaluated in Japanese society.

You gave an example of a rumor about a bar, and criticized Japan through the unclear rumor in this question. Your comment relevant to this. And, you don't even notice that you have been seriously insulting Japan.

Conclusion:

I think it is almost impossible for you to live comfortably in Japan. I feel that you "wear" punk atmosphere to hide your frail self. Japanese people generally use indirect communication. It means you will give them some signs which you don't intend to through your behavior. My suggestion is that you should abandon the punk fashion or forget Japan.

First, Japanese are white.

I've never seen "no foreigners" for years.

Normal people as in Japan or other countries don't like tattooed or pierced people.

Foreigners came "to have a rest", for simpleminded people that means a lot of alcohol and a lot of troubles as a consequent. Especially comparing with drunk Japanese, who are very quiet and non-aggressive. Almost for the same reason people in Eastern Europe don't like British.

Most of foreigners, of course, don't know Japanese. They cannot read rules and prohibition marks, and so don't follow them.

And because Japan is not so tourist oriented country most Japanese don't know English.

So, if you can speak Japanese enough and can show it, follow rules and quiet, you will never get a problem being foreigner. More over, you can get benefits from being foreigner. Unknown people can make even presents to you.

Once, going from Tokyo to Sendai by bicycle I stopped at one onsen. Relaxing in hot pool I was asked by some old Japanese guy about my country. Talking with him I complained, that it's hard to find good place for tent because of high population density. That old guy told me, that I can stop at his garden near his house! More over, after we came to his house he invited me inside to have dinner. His wife prepared some food, fried meat, he brought beer. We talked about many things. It was nice.

no. don't judge before you see it for yourself. you will probably be fine, but when you feel japan is not good for you, you are always free to go home. so don't be scared. if you feel scared and on guard, maybe you will have less chance of making friends with people around you.

You'll be fine, pal. People will look at you because you're different. Little kids might throw rocks at you though ! I'm kidding ! Just be yourself. Follow your dream if you can.

Japanese are people too. They don't just throw themselves down at any white person they see and if you're going to the country with that assumption then you need to rethink your trip.

No one is going to get "pissed" at you. Why do you seem to feel so certain of this? People are going to stare at you because you look very, very, very different. I am not talking about your skin color or eye color here. People in Tokyo see foreigners every. single. day. They see blond-haired, blue-eyed people every. single. day. No one cares or is impressed by that in Tokyo. However, the clothes you wear and the piercings you have WILL get you stares. Gages are NOT common at all in Japan, especially with teenagers because no parent would allow their son/daughter to do that to them. In Japan you submit your picture on your college and job applications. People can choose to not hire you if they do not like your look. A lot of girls don't even have their ears pierced.

Yes, there are places that say "no foreigners allowed" because they have had bad experiences in the past with foreigners causing trouble and upsetting their regulars. The happiness of a foreigner who is in Japan temporarily < the happiness of their regular, permanent customers. But there are not many places like this around. You're not likely to find such a place.

Also, I don't see the reason why you would even care about a bar not allowing foreigners. You're 15. The drinking age is 20. You're not even allowed INSIDE a bar.

Yes, you're going to get stared at at school. If the school even allows you to attend with your piercings, people are not going to flock to you begging to be your friend because you are purposefully dressing in a way that is meant to scare people off. People--especially girls--are going to be very intimidated by you because hardly anyone in Japan has such piercings.

You're going to Japan without having respect for how Japanese society is. You are going to Japan expecting people to treat you with respect, but you lack the respect to learn enough about Japanese society to understand how to live harmoniously within it. Japanese have a saying: "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down." They are not fans of non-conformists or rebels. If you go into Japan and constantly fight everything and purposefully make yourself stand out then you're asking to be stared at, to be gossiped about, to be considered frightening.

If you insist on not changing your appearance, you need to be UNDERSTANDING. You need to understand that, in the beginning before people get to know you, a lot of people are going to be extremely unsure of you. Again, this is NOT because you are foreign but because you are making yourself appear in a very certain way. Even the [few] Japanese who dress this way are treated as outcasts because, frankly, that's what they are. They do not fit into Japanese society which values homogeneity. In North America you can see people with tattoos and piercings working in all kinds of jobs. You do not get that in Japan.

So when people treat you strangely or stare at you you need to be understanding of why they're doing it and not get angry. I can tell you get upset just thinking about what you're assuming others are thinking about you. But if you get angry or sullen or whatever at the start of your trip then that is the first impression you give to everyone around you and so they're going to assume you're that way. And who wants to be friends with someone like that?

you like generalization... your problem is not whether white or not but something teenagers have.

but true that white or black in Japan are like pandas in the zoo. we are curious to see them but just them in cages.

if your humanity is good enough to accept yellows in the USA, you could make friends with them. its the same thing.
