There is no racial discrimination in stores. People just tend to live near people of same ethnic group as themselves and shop locally.
I have the unpleasant feeling that japanese people are fed with some strong US leftist propaganda 😏
I would go shopping at Fox Hills mall all the time in LA. It’s 95% black people at the mall but I’m a white guy and I was never treated as anything but a regular customer at any of the shops there. It is probably a public perception that there are separate malls for races just based on the larger demographic of the surrounding neighborhoods.
But the reason this separation of ethnic groups exists was started by racism. When you start looking into US zoning laws where they came from, etc. Their is definitely a racial component. Sadly. They were terrible laws then and current laws are still heavily influenced by them.
@@autohmaewhich current laws?
@@shake4259 US zoning laws, especially single-family zoning
The US and Canada are not the same, they are two completely different countries. I highly doubt there are stores where black or white people cannot go to, even in areas like Alabama. Most likely there was a store that more people of a certain ethnicity perferred to go to because they felt more comfortable. Not that they were actually prevented from entering.
Yep, been to Alabama many times. No such thing. Everybody shops where they want.
Agreed or could be just what ppl lived near by. Cause ur not gonna usually go to one's u don't live close to.
Sure no one's physically prevented from entering but there are absolutely super racist places, mostly in the south where non white people avoid at all costs, namely, sundown towns.
you ever heard of a hood? ain't no way a white person is poking their head there
No such thing as separate supermarket for whites and blacks. Maybe 75 years ago. Not now
That lady also forget to mention the separate toilet and schools too jeeze.
It may not be separate but if you go to certain areas of major cities in the US you will find there are many corner stores and supermarkets that primarily serve one community over another. Its not that anyone is prohibited but some may feel uncomfortable with the sorts that loiter around the place. That might be what they are referring to.
@@eigojiyouzu this is called self segregation some people feel comfortable with there own kind. There are community's like this. Little Saigon, Korea town, China Town and so on. Mostly in the big cities. Little Havana I could go on. Even with that some people still integrate. It's fin to visit these places and experience the culture.
Maybe she was watching a movie or show that took place in a ghetto.
@@eigojiyouzu Obviously a supermarket in a predominantly black community is going to have predominantly black customers. People aren't gonna go several miles over to the other side of the city to see the opposite race while doing their shopping. The same is true the other way around and for all ethnicities involved.
The comment about foreigners taking so many photos was really funny to me. I live in Alaska and the by far the tourists who take the most pictures here are Japanese!! Entertaining video, thanks!
Its interesting to hear the broken telephone about countries. I live in Canada, and I've lived in Japan before, I've never heard of or experienced segregated grocery stores BUT we do have specialized grocery stores (Jamaican food in a Jamaican area, etc.) which makes sense because people from different ethnic backgrounds have different food "staples" they cook with everyday.
When I visited Japan, the breaking of the sakura branches annoyed me too. Seems I looked angry enough too that those people that did it look ashamed. Seriously, who breaks off tree branches?
And I understand that one woman took a photo of a toilet. I almost did take one myself. I have never in my life seen so well maintained, clean and free toilets at public places. I am talking about train stations ...
Omg the Chinese Philippino Spanish Japanese girl is STUNNING ...Lol sorry ..thank you for these wonderful street interviews!!
I'm Italian and I've been living in Japan for more than 20 years now and I still take pictures of toilets. There are some amazing beautiful toilets (restrooms) at the highway service areas 👍
There's no racially segregated stores here in Canada. Someone please find those 3 girls and let them know. I think what the cousin probably experienced was that many stores will cater to the people of the area around them and in a city like Toronto there's tons of racial and ethnic groups, and they tend to cluster together (for obvious reasons). For example, in an area with a high population of Jamaican immigrants you're going to see a lot of specialized goods that you aren't going to see a few blocks away in the Polish neighborhood.
I'm wondering that sort of "Chinatown" or "Little Italy" type of ethnic neighborhood is something that most Japanese would have any experience with?
Yeah I’m surprised about the comment about racially segregated stores in Canada. Toronto has to be one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
I think they understood that it was not a formal or legal separation.
If that actually happen it would be a new story so big you would see it go on for several nights.
@@MikeIsCanadian Absolutely. I grew up not far away and frequently made trips into Toronto for concerts, shopping, whatever, and then I lived there for a few years. I miss it sometimes, just for the food alone, and that's all about the amazing variety and range brought in from all over world by that large immigrant population.
I studied in Canada about two years . I've never seen that kind of discrimination . There are so many races in Canada . That girl totally exaggerated a little or her cousin told her the wrong thing or it's a misunderstanding . Now I'm shocked .
It was funny when that one girl said "foreigners wear anime-like fashion" while Cathy Cat was standing right there in full Kawai outfit. (7:10)
That's why she pointed her out
Yeah, the Japanese girl said, "...like you" (basically).
In the Philippines most of our celebrities and beauty queens are mixed race. And I can confirm stray dogs is a thing in the countryside that we have a breed name for them Askals which is a combination of Aso = Dog and Kalye= Streets.
The quarter girl certainly was cute, maybe all the cute traits of the quarters fusioned to a super-cutie ;)
Most celebrities? What kind of mix? Sorry but I’m curious now
I think the Universal Studio rain experience was probably a once-in-a-thousand years flood. They weren't prepared because it had never happened. Of course, with global warming severe weather events are happening with greater frequency.
Japanese are always prepared, even if it never happens.
4:23 ahhh that’s me
The image quality is really good with video. Do any of the people you interview ever leave an impression on you as you interview them? At 7:50 the person with the blue highlights stuck out to me and seemed very engaging and I just wondered if you get this feeling as you guys are interviewing them.
There are many ethnic neighborhoods in the US and Canada, so it's not that there's racial discrimination or banned people from entering the stores. However, there are stories of some small towns in the US that have a vibe where only white people seem welcomed, unfortunately.
There are some ethnic stores around in Japan too that cater to Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, and so on. Anyone is allowed to shop there, but maybe many of the people of that particular ethnicity tend to shop there more.
I was actually surprised that people at the Disney in Japan were allowed to dress-up. Big kids and adults are not allowed to wear costumes at the US Disney parks. Only at certain Halloween events are costumes allowed.
It would be hard to dress up all nice to go to Disney Land... It's hot, and you walk all day, and your hair gets messed up on the rides. Plus, at least at USA Disney, adults aren't allowed to wear Disney costumes anyway. So jeans and a tshirt are the most appropriate outfit, at least in my opinion.
2:36 That's funny, cause there are apartments foreigners can't get in Japan.
Also, as an American, I don't know what they're talking about. I can go down to the hood right now, buy a bag of Doritos and Mountain Dew, and nobody is gonna give a shit about my white ass being there. I know, I've done it.
Also also, Canada isn't in America. I don't know if she meant to make it sound like it was or if that was just meant to be a comparison. She sounded like she thought Canada was in America, so just saying it's not. They are their own country, clearly.
She disrespected America's hat.
Since Canada is in North America, she must think everyone in the Americas (North and South) are Americans.
The continent is America. We are the United States. Canada is in America, but we call it North America. Mexico is in South America.
Wow that's amazing and unique response. It make me wonder more. I appreciate thier answer ☺️👍.
Congratulations! I see you have over half a million subscribers now!!
12:04 It's not that we think we are the best for looking our best in flashy clothes, but we try dressing to the best of our own standards and identity / creative expression. Many of us are trying to look at our best for !ourselves! and not anyone else.
Fashion is a way to keep one's cultural identity in conservative yet somewhat open, fashion-driven Japan. At least we don't have to dress too strictly in Japan.
YOUR OUTFITS ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE THEM AND YOU LOOK SO COOL AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THEM
LOL I have taken pictures of the toilet and at the train station! The sign in the toilet where it says to not stand on the seat is funny, but I know some people have done it--when I lived in China I'd sometimes see people's footprints on the toilet seat. I can't sit where someone put their dirty shoes! (Is it tourists that stand on the seat? Maybe.)
7:43 "Sluggish" is an interesting way of putting it. It sounds like wearing a spiral shell, like a slug. Or the clothes were just really...slow?
I think she actually meant something more like "sloppy".
Kinda weird I was recently like literally this week looking up Japanese people’s culture shocks whilst being abroad and this pops up today just what the doctor ordered
What TV show did that one girl see with the segregated grocery... sound like it was from the 1950s😅😅
There's no segration in the supermarkets. But some supermarkets tend to be less safe to shop at than others, due to the surroundings.
It’s funny that they think tourists take unneccessary pictures of everyday stuff, because in Germany it’s basically the same except it’s the other way round. 😂
I was like girl, tourists here take pictures of literally every building and every blade of grass. That's what everyone does when they visit another country I think.
Maybe they don't have much experience traveling outside of their own country.
De facto segregation in America? Yes, somewhat still. De Jure? Of course not. I haven't seen a "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Anyone" sign in years. They used to be all over the place.
No way 😂folks of all kinds share equally the stores...etc... That was a ti.e warp😂😂😂 no race problem 😂
Interesting to hear so many different perspectives. Though when it comes to foreigners in japan there sometimes seems to be an assumption that they are all americans?
Yeah you’re right 😂 it happened to me too
When I went to Japan, I quickly realized that everyone is dressed very nice and proper, but I still went outside all bummy with a white t-shirt and shorts. I knew I'd probably stand out, but I really don't have the time or energy to dress nicely everytime I set foot outside. Lol
As long as you're not bothering, hurting, or inconveniencing anyone, you shouldn't care what anyone thinks. Do whatever you want, act however you want, dress however you want.
that half filippino girl with short hai I think I'v met her on a convention not sure tho vut I do think she's a cosplayer
Hopefully someone has links to her cosplay work
That's the second time I've seen them say they want more aggressive communication methods but has this been translated wrong or they mean assertive? I really think it's assertive, dealing with aggressive people is not enjoyable lol.
-Japanese tried to dress appropriate clothes/fashion catering to the time/theme/objective/places they faced
-western foreigners dresses how they feel right at the moment regardless whenever/whatever places or situations they faced or heading to😅
Are Sakura branches weak or do tourists try to break the branches on purpose?
I thought that was Sakura San. I recognized her immediately. And I've seen her content from this spot before. I didn't realize it was such an interesting adventure to just get there.
The internet: Tipping is considered terribly offensive in Japan!
Japanese girl: 嬉しい! :3
I'm super interested in going to the black grocery store now.
Really love your channel
Didn't you release the Onsen video already in which you met that other japanese TH-camr? Or is there another one coming?
wow new insight for me, amazing video
Anyone know where the host is from? her Japanese sounds good enough to be Japanese ( at least to a non Japanese speaker) but, her English accent sound like she was living in England at some point.
I think she is German who lived in England.
I found your channel since I just started learning Japanese. Where are you from and how long have you been learning Japanese? To my untrained ears you sound like a native speaker. Thanks.
Japanese people take a lot of photos abroad as well....
Because taking pictures without permission is allowed abroad...but soon they will change that mindset since AI/internet online fraudulent is getting rampant over times
Not a lot shocks me these days but breaking off Sakura tree branches? Dude. Even having lived in California most of my life, that isn't just shocking but really unacceptable. My understanding is that it's unlawful to even pick up fallen petals or flowers off the ground in public areas.
Best way to tell off foreigners who do that would be to say "The gods will punish you for that!" I think that would get the message across best.
It won't works..since many foreigners(not all) having 'my feelings/behaviour should be accepted or tolerated' mindset..
@@calvintang398 it's time to kick some sense into their stupid pants then, I say! That's what we Americans understand best after all. ;p
America and canada doesnt segregate. Her sister must of told her some history from the united states. There was segregation in (mostly in the southern states) until 1964 but yeah thats no longer true and they would quickly go out of business too if they did.
So true. She gathered that just by watching TV, not actually being there (what is shown on TV is doctored with an agenda). What could have been shown were two supermarkets from two different communities with different predominant demographics. I guess it depends on the predominant community demographic. It's not segregation.
The Japinays are so cute.
Onsen video sounds like a treat!
I so enjoy your channel
最後の男性は、自虐だね。
Seriously, he thinks so highly of foreigners for no reason. Not every foreigner is cool and confident. He’s making japanese seem like they can never be good enough. It’s sad.
@@ywuao
If he could speak English, he would be able to communicate more, and Japan would think that foreigners are the same.
@@wingright5555 It’s like the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side”. He is idolizes foreigners who are not special. I hope his confidence improves. Because it doesn’t matter who you are, anyone can be cool.
@@ywuao
You are right. But most of Japan people have the same self-deprecation as he does.
I think it was interesting that the girl at 0:55 said "street children" in English when describing her experience in the Philippines.
Strurito churiudren
1:49 Someone needs to educate this girl
People tend to mingle with other people with same/kind of similar culture background, that's human nature. That's how the society is set up.
Yeah no, a lot of how ethnic communities are divided are directly the result of racism and past segregation, and they never integrated that much even after desegregation.
Thank you Cat. You meet the most beautiful girls. I love what you do, arigatou,
The girl in the middle at 5:06 is hella cute. 😍
as a french canadian I can assure that the supermarket thing is not real , no shop are close to different race. But in japan that thing is real , some shop wont allow you if you are not japanese , even if you can speak it...
They’re talking about the gum wall in Seattle. Yes it’s weird and kind of gross. Also, I’m pretty sure Seattle gets more rain than Tokyo unless Tokyo gets more now than when I lived there.
I live in a suburban city in California - Middle Class - My neighbors latino, black, asian, and white like me. All work or retired like me. Everyone shops in the stores and eats in the restaurants. While discrimination is still a problem in America, most of America is tolerant!!
日本人としてこういう人達も「現実なのだ！」と受け止めなければいけないんでしょうけど・・・、もう少し頭の良い意見を言ってる人も取り上げて欲しい・・・。
外国人の方々から見れば、だいぶ幼く（中身が幼稚に）映るんじゃないか？と思うんですけど・・・どうなんでしょうか？？
日本で「社会人になりました、４年間社会人、など」とよくいわれてるよね。アメリカでそういう文化がなくてsnsでみんなはお互いに若さを守る談話があります。アメリカ人は若さ(メンタル、体、など)をよく大切にして今も健康のために悪いからいい食べるの習慣にまだ変わっています。
それよりアメリカ人のなかで社会のプレッシャーがあまりないなあ。多分、ひとつのはお金です。しかし、それに比べて結婚しなくてもいいし、家族を作らなくてもいいし、離婚してもいいし、などです。日本で社会の期待が違って若い日本人は多分、みんなの期待をぎゅっと感じていると思います。
ーアメリカ人より
It is illegal to discriminate in Canada, and it would be considered a hate crime. Now, it used to be that way in the US, especially in the Southern States, but segregation is only self implemented here.
500k subs ❤
Greetings from fukuoka 😊❤
4:20
We all already know what I want to say 😚
Plant based balanced nutrition powder,(meal substitute) tastes so much better after mixing it over the burning dried banana peel!
The stores may not be segregated, but we who live in America could point out a ghetto store or have at least herd of one. Being a subject of urban redevelopment I am a white minority placed in these situations and it is unwelcoming in these convenient stores and supper markets. The majority will flex there pride especially if there's a difference in intellectual property, or idol level.
To explain this, I will give an example of a large billboard with a advertisement for Pocky in a city in state different from a city in a different state that has an advertisement on a large billboard for a steak and egg dinner. Both have the food advertising close to the same price. Pocky is not a lot of chocolate on unleavened bread. The line between laughter and insanity is pretty thin; on the other hand, stake and eggs is quite a lot of substance for a meal, and especially impressive for the price of a box of Pocky. The line between laughter and insanity is wide. Now when dedicated consumers cross pass there is friction. There are so many of theas lines in America because of colonization of cultures, and post traumatic stress disorder from the hustle to be happy. People are often lost in control dramas. It becomes a constant survival of the strongest in the control dramas without insight. Many feed of the insecurities of others to feel better. It's really in every part of are cultural melting pot, so ethnic markets exhibit racism to avoid the friction of the thin and wide lines of laughter and insanity.
And if the difference in food seems to absurd to completely dislike someone, consider a anime convention participant buying some figurines and not a little but a bunch, a cupple hundred dollars worth. Then after hanging out and having fun with the cosplay and taking pictures with the news crews with a cool outfit and a special Freestyle bike and doing cool tricks and playing music. Returns to the convention with aggressive inline skates and all the figurines and smashes inline tricks on the expensive figurines till they're broken and worthless to a collector and throws them away. Next the vendor ignore and says they will not share. True story. The athlete values the sole of the aesthetic of the culture in absorbing the essence of the aesthetic into the performance till the figurines are spent. The collector is appalled and in turmoil with his existence in the multiverse as a fan boy who may of never had it. Reality crushed, and turned aginst freedom of expression.
Dressing in differently weird fashion with confidence is a stereotypical impression of what most foreigners think of Japanese people, and Japanese tourist traveling abroad are always associated with taking pictures of everything.
Racism is no good, but it is true that there are times when it is better to separate people if there are differences in religion or culture.
money please, money please 😃🤭
I wish the USA had manners.
You Wa SHOCK!!!
It sad to see kids on the street asking for money did you give them any no but I did spend a lot of time reading up the subject in order to appear like I care. ガキ頑張って
Studying poverty, becoming a member of staff for a politician, and influencing policy for foreign aid or international trade to lift these areas out of poverty can do a lot more good than giving someone $3 on the street. It’s unlikely that she’s on that path, but it is absolutely worthwhile to study the dynamics that underly the weath of nations.
I love your videos, and I'm studying Japanese on my own. However, I'm a little concerned about the reception I'd get if I came to visit. I'm 5'11" and double the weight of the average Japanese male (according to one of your videos). I'm pretty sure I'd look like a big, scary gorilla to the general public.
I don't think anyone will mind. Yeah if you're super huge sure but I don't think you are that all that big from your description, at least I wouldn't worry about anything bad happening. Don't be discouraged by the stories you hear of racism and xenophobia, Japan absolutely has issues with that for sure, but it is still largely welcoming towards tourists, particularly if you stick to the big cities.
What’s a Forbidden Sign?
Like "Keep Out" or "No Trespassing". Stuff like that.
The Japanese girls sound like Goddesses. The one that felt sorry for the Filipino kids is a good girl. I like the one with the sharp face with sleeveless black shirt, the one with brown hair, and the one mixed with Filipino that's dressed in black. I like how the guys admired people for their good qualities. They seemed to think that combining Western and or American ways with Japanese ways is a very good idea which I agree with. Yes, we should be individualistic and work as a team as they both seem to think. I have noticed that Japanese people are very subtle people which implies they are extremely intelligent. I feel that their culture breeds extreme intelligence since it often strives for perfection and discipline, but that puts a lot of pressure on them. It's so much pressure that many can't handle it. I noticed they tend to admire people who are striving for improvement; It's often about balance, harmony, and peace with them when it comes to improving themselves. They are very good at recognizing things that are very high quality in anything. Japanese culture is a military hierarchy where you must earn everything. The Samurai/Warrior/Martial Arts Mindset is always happening among them. Martial Arts is The Art of War and Peace and many are Masters of War over there. The Samurai Way is the way they live. If you are not good enough, they will often reject you. They strive for Godhood whether they know it or not. They are trying to reach Heaven whether they know it or not. They strive for Immorality whether they know or not. What is Perfection??? I have much more to say, but I can probably go on forever. Reading the air... Most Non-Japanese don't really know what that really means... They can feel it... They can think it... : )
Lol that girl is mistaken there are no segregated stores😂
Don't change Japan, it might seem you are behind but in reality you will make it to the goal first
The goal of dying out from low birthrate?
@@flinx Over repetitive excuse.
Been hearing that line since 06, they ain't dying out.
Try looking up facts instead of rumors that have been echoing on the net for almost 20 years.
@@Mecks089 Time for you to look up the latest numbers and update your facts. In 2006 Japan's population was 127.9 million. In 2023 it's 125 million and falling year by year at an increasing rate. In January the prime minister said Japan was “on the brink of not being able to maintain social functions” due to the falling birth rate.
America has interracial markets, you're being misinformed.

I think it's really sad some Japanese are blind to how terrible Disney has become in recent years.
Boring CGI films and ugly live action woke remake movies no one cares about.
Destroyed the Star Wars and Marvel film franchises.
Lectures it's customers and fans.
Doesn't bother improving or fixing thier U.S. theme parks.
And everything in their merchandise and services are far too overpriced beyond their poor quality and value.
If Disney is fun and still a special place in Japan it's because it hasn't been ruined by politics and greed yet.
Give it time, but I can't wait to see Japanese parents expressions when they seen their kids take pictures with a man in dress pretending to be a women.
Disneyland in Japan is run by the Japanese, so the quality of the theme park is always up to J standards. Even the goods they sell there are high quality and have greater variety than in the US. It's cheaper to go to TDL than to go to the US ones.
it´s much better when you dont do the anglish...
I am the first ❤
Or maybe not😢
It’s so cute they think foreigners react to the heat differently, when it’s actually just them being shameless and showing as much skin as possible!
Genetically speaking, many Westerners have different sweat glands compared to many Asian people. We have stronger body odor than many Asians. That's why it's really difficult to find deodorant in Japan.
Being shameless? So if I wear short pants and a T-Shirt in 10 °C I'm shameless, because I show "as much skin as possible"?
I don't know... I live in the USA and I see people in shorts, sometimes short sleeves in the winter or during very cold weather!!!! 😱 It's usually the young people.
Seattle Gum Wall is art
That might be true but it’s still kind of gross.
The Japanese think themselves (self-proclaimed honorary white man) and look down on the Asians. We seems that we have forgotten the atrocities committed by Japan too easily 😂
Hi
