Honestly, racism is one of those things many Japanese people struggle to understand.
If we see a white person, we think, "Oh, they're white."
If we see a black person, we think, "Oh, they're black."
If there were blue people, we'd probably think, "Oh, they're blue."
And that's about as far as it goes.
If someone is nice, we think they're nice.
If someone is an asshole, we think they're an asshole.
If we like them, we like them.
If we don't, we don't.
We grow up being told not to cause trouble, not to fight, and to get along with the people around us.
Maybe that's why judging someone by their race feels so foreign to a lot of Japanese people.
We're usually too busy judging people by whether they're good people or not.
