Yeah this is why London has super expensive landing fees. The food and lodgings there are relatively affordable compared to america but getting there is not. It keeps out low income americans.
The reason why a black/brown person is depicted on that poster is because it's mostly black/brown people doing those things, as we can clearly see on the many videos & pics posted online and even depiicted in this video. That's just how it is and there's no need to sugarcoat it.
I mean they're acting like the actual animal monkey stereotype and anthropomorphized monkey stereotype in Asian countries. It's not that they're comparing them racially to a monkey. Just characteristically. Jumping around, being goofy, loud, obnoxious and carelessly messing with/disturbing and annoying people. Makes me think of theatrical versions of Sun Wukong. Monkey's stereotypically cause mischief. It's not a race thing.
I'm half Japanese and American living in Tokyo for over 20 years. We're getting tired of tourists like this. The dislike for foreigners has been the highest I've ever seen, and it makes all foreigners look bad.
How common is this type of behavior? What is actually happening in Japan that's raising tension over foreigners in Japan? I'm sure it's gotta be more than just these dumb streamers right?
@@shinichikudozThat's always been a thing, but there are more variants now. I remember seeing one that said "no vacancy" in other languages but "come in" in Japanese. Personally, I think it's pretty smart. If someone took the time to learn Japanese then there's a better chance they respect the culture, if not then they can go elsewhere.
Went to Japan again this summer. 8 years since last visit. The change was staggering, rude tourists everywhere. The Japanese clearly have grown tired and wary of foreigners, while 8 years ago they were welcoming and open. Also seeing Japanese wearing their backpacks in the front to avoid pickpocketing is sad.
Was in Japan few weeks ago and can vouch by saying there was a lot of signs in various cities in English targeting foreigners to please behave themselves.
The difference between cultures is specifically the "He was only 17, he was a kid" excuse :), you would never hear that in japan, it would be: "he is only 17, he better learn to shut up when adults are speaking" not to mention doing something crazy like bothering people and making a show out of it.
@@XgoodbyeX Yeah they don't like people who stick out from the norm. It has changed abit recently to be more accepting but in general people are expected to follow social norms. Being a loud and obnoxious foreigner is probably the worst thing you can be in Japan. Everyone will hate you. And it's not because they are racist but because they really dislike the disrespect.

Japan was already pissed at Ubisoft for falsifying history and then making that disrespectful figurine. I wouldn't be surprised if the game itself was banned in Japan.
@GrumSlushh I grew up in the 90s and saw or heard very little racism or homophobia, nowadays ppl are using it to make money and its used to charge what should be civil conversation, we are going backwards in alot of ways and it's sad to see.
You undermined your entire point by defending IShowSpeed with "he's just a kid"[18]". That's *exactly* the problem. First, he's 18, an adult. Second, kids need to be educated, not indulged. Go have some kids with someone before telling us parents what we should or should not tolerate from a "kid".

Dude if I were jaoense, I'll be mad about 'shadows', but if I was japanese I'll be mad about America aswell. I mean, testing nukes even the war is already over. "we've gotta do the field test".
Those are junior high students. Wearing skirts. I don't care if his intention was to be nuisances, he's looking up a teenager's skirt and then immediately creeps up to a visibly uncomfortable teenage girl. That's intimidation and harassment.
I lived in japan for 3-4 years, Kochi City, and later Kurume. The only people who ever got on the news as foreigners were Black people getting into fights, causing big issues, and stealing. If you're in Japan, and you steal something, you should have never traveled to japan in the first place. The idea that any country has to bend over backwards because of your race is pathetic. Made me a bit sad, because I was friends with the Nigerian shoestore owner in Obiyamachi, and he'd catch SO MUCH HEAT for (usually western) black people's actions. His brother was denied a visa because of other black people's "antics." (dood had to close his shop, a 2 story shoestore in downtown Kochi) for 2-3 weeks to go back to Nigeria and take care of the fallout from losing the Visa. This is the lesson Europe needs to learn, protect your culture or it gets eaten by the culture that WILL.
It is already too late for Western Europe. Eastern Europe is trying to protect itself, but the constant pressure from Western Europe makes this very difficult.

In Japan it is considered rude and obnoxious to draw attention to oneself with odd behavior. While anime and jrpgs often feature wacky characters, the overwhelming majority of Japanese people are fairly reserved. However they can be very welcoming toward foreigners who behave calmly and show genuine interest in their culture.
I lived there for 5 years thanks to the military. This exactly. Learn the basic social rules about keeping to yourself, and they're the nicest people on the planet generally.
"While anime and jrpgs often feature wacky characters" I believe that this is the case because of their stricter culture, it would make sense.. though could be wrong.
Even in anime and JRPGs if you look at what the character generally are, they’re generally understated even in comparison to Tik Tokers. If they do anything wacky, it’s often for a really extreme reason (the world is at stake), and they generally don’t go bothering people in this way. In fact, this is the sort of thing where if an anime character had someone like this in the scene even the weirdest anime protagonists would probably still be weirded out by this. These people are more obnoxious than anime characters.
I despise the defence of these streamers insinuating you are a racist for condeming such behaviour. As if race has any bearing. "I'm being annoyed by your loud and obnoxious behavior." "I'm black. " "Oh, right, continue then. " Is that how its supposed to work? Don't these dunces understand that this only breeds animosity towards certain groups people?
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 In the blue "sess pools," sure. The main problem is, those pools are where social media companies are based (which is why I had to misspell that on 1984 Tube).
In Japan they have multiple signs like this for all tourist of various skin color. wouldnt be surprised if they got a sign for white boys who like recording bodies in the woods.
Well im not an American nor am I black or white, but one thing is for sure is its much harder to find white B-dancers than blacks . The reason why break dancers are not allowed is obviously because it cannot be performed in small cramped spaces and in Japan alot of spaces feel cramped, Japanese people are very reserved and the least likely to retaliate from this reprehensible behavior so the only way to get the message across is for the government to be as direct as possible. Sometimes you have to be direct and this is also to protect those other street performers who arent a nuisance to other people around them.
I mean it's a tried and true tactic to use in cultures were there aren't swift consequences. Try that in a lot of other places and someone will likely sort you out very quickly.
It's definitely racist in the USA, as blacks were often caricaturized as sub-human for hundreds of years. This is just history. Take a look at some of the artifacts preserved in the Jim Crow museum.

I’m Japanese. I'm angry that some foreign tourists don't respect Japanese culture😞 We are glad that people are interested in Japan, but we need to observe basic etiquette. To be honest, if things continue like this, I think Japanese people will start to have prejudices against foreign tourists. I'm not good at English, so I'm worried if I can get my point across to everyone…
I grew up in Japan. There are always spaces you can use to do almost anything you want, but one place you just cannot do anything you want is on public transport. I remember in the mid 90s there were signs to not use phones on the trains, which are still around today. Remember, Japan relies on agreed upon etiquette amongst all citizens and residents in Japan, and these rules are enforced.
@lucasross4007 You think a random well-meaning person in the far north can automatically control what everyone else does ? People like these are affected the most negatively by these behaviors.
The thing that upsets me about this is none of the people learned the culture. My dad was stationed in Japan while I was growing up so I spent a lot of time there learning the language and culture. Japanese people DO NOT like to be touched by strangers (rarely even friends) and they really value not being a burden or nuisance to society. That’s why when you get in their subway system you can damn near hear a pin drop. Outside of the US Japan is a very special place for me and it pisses me off when people go to different countries and don’t respect the culture or the people. Like come on bruh you’re just visiting, stop pestering these people while they go about their daily lives.
Speaking from Japan. The point being is actually not the main character. We’re kinda fine with that. The things we’re pissed ofd is that 1.they simply mistaken many MANY major cultural furniture and art 2. They used some of the arts of a Japanese NPO WITH NO PREMESSION AT ALL. I’m pretty sure you can confirm that as a problem. It’s not simply about culture or anything, there not being honest with people.
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 ah. Well that, I won’t argue anything. Sorry if I was off the point. But I just wanted to tell that there are more other matters that at least people in Japan are pissed off. A lot of people quite misunderstands it. Thanks for informing me anyway.

Nobody in this planet is obliged to do anything, however, since you live there and bothers you so much, you need to go and tell your country fellas that they are being annoying and disrespectful whenever you spot them doing this. At least the locals will see you fighting that behavior and your stereotypes won't be as bad later.

I’m a Canadian in Japan, and this is very real. These offenders should be arrested and fined hard, or worse. I hate this because it’s foreigners making it hard for other foreigners here. Nuisance content is terrible.
Please don’t think that people in the west approve of this. These disgusting individuals are abusing the goodwill being given to them for the wrongs done to their ancestors. That goodwill is finite and rapidly declining.
Sadly not only the locals. I am an foreigner who lived and worked in Japan over ten years. And of course, in my usual area people will recognize me, but if I want to visit new places, i might be associated with those stupid tourists.
As an introvert, this is what extroverts' behaviour usually feels like to me. I visit Japan regularly and the thing I like most about it is it feels like the society is made for introverts. These assholes just ruin that with their extrovert entitlement.
the blurred out picture of monkeys i dont think was racially chosen. they have monkeys that are known for causing mischief, and trouble, so the animal itself is perfect for them to depict troublesome or mischief behaviour.
@Miggus7362 That isn't the point being made. The offended are as such due to projecting their own insecurities. The observation OP made lends credibility to the fact this isn't something motivated by the racial bigotry they are being accused of, and in fact it also lends credibility to the proverb, "When you point your finger there are three fingers pointing back at you." as it aptly applies to the accusers who were the ones actually behaving in an outrageous manner in the first place, and predictably following up that behavior with making outrageous accusations when called out on it.
I've seen so many wild videos come out of the NYC subway.. From crackheads stealing things from passangers to "diverse" people using the seats as a toilet lmao
It's crazy how all tese kind of problem revolve around Tiktok, and social medias in general. It really looks like the world would be better without social media
I suspect most woke activists won't care. Their point is to demonize the West. They don't really believe people's psyches are so fragile that they must be protected from offense at all times.
The blurred-out characters are the famous three wise monkeys, who "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", and are traditionally brought up to say people really should behave well or notice bad behaviour. That one has nothing to do with race.
Yeah I don't understand the take that monkeys are dumb animals, they are insanely smart. Smarter than some people out there. They understand fairness as a concept which is crazy. They can also learn hand gestures and communicate with humans.
At leadt in Finland monjey is used to refer to obnoxious behaviour, so if you do not want to be refered to as a monkey, di not behave like a monkey. nithibg to do with skincolour, just brain funktion.
It's stuff we teach to children. When some guy drops something accidentally, you don't drop to the ground and put it in your mouth to chew, you behave yourself. Why does this guy drop to all fours unprompted infront of young girls wearing skirts with his neck instantly tilting to look "there"? Fatherless behaviour. They should jail him not even for the skirt thing, you need to be rehabilitated if you think this is acceptable.
I'm Japanese. That "NO CIRCUS PERFORMANCE HERE" poster is fake (I mean, isn't it obvious? its just a jpg image). Apparently the original "DON'T PERFORM HERE" poster exists and made by Koto Cross (a facility complex) but the character on the poster was not a black guy. Someone on the internet made the black guy version and pretended Japan made this poster.
@ryana5435 notice the massive disparaging between likes on this comment and likes on cretins drooling for their confirmation bias to be confirmed. And I'm not a fan of wokery at all, I just hate it when truth is sacrificed at the altar of convenience.
@zumy1507 Personally I do not see that Japan's public manners and rules are strict, but simply rational; before, just a couple decades ago, in America and Europe this was called common sense, respect, literacy and common courtesy, which unfortunately have all been lost. On the contrary, close Japanese friends and students have confessed to me that they are saddened by how manners have relaxed in Japan, and how with each generation education in values and ethics has become more permissive or lax, due to bad parenting and the influence of the Internet. In their opinion, values, ethics, social customs and manners should be much stricter, and this is also true for the West. The sign is perfect, and these social media monsters take advantage of the kindness of ordinary people. They should pay serious consequences for their actions.
9:24 FWIW The blurred creatures are "Siamang gibbon" (フクロテナガザル). The text on the left side of the poster says: "Loud and happy Siamang gibbon, but please be quiet in the car" Another thing to note is that they are probably NOT being racist on purpose, but rather we Asian often use "monkey" to describe a person who is very loud and cause trouble. I used to be called monkey a lot when doing shenanigans when I was a kid lol. So please keep that in mind and don't look at it with too much sensitivity.
Cameras are the problem. in the old days, guys like this would get their ass kicked, but since there are cameras everywhere, THEY get in trouble for delivering justice.
No... it's not the cameras. In the old days these people would be taken care of and everyone KNEW it was happening and WANTED it to happen. It was the way things were done. Now not only is society not allowed to take care of things, but police aren't allowed to take care of things either. The results are very, very predictable. If you side with the antisocials and criminals, society rather quickly becomes intolerable.
Might actually surprise you that Japan has the term, "BIG BROTHER." Way before we did. They had camera's all over the place when I was stationed there in the 90's. You won't see any police and if something stupid happens suddenly they be all over the place. Cause they watch the cameras.
Japan is racist though, most countries are. America is certainly the least racist country on the planet. When you go somewhere like Japan, everyone is 99% the same race, ethnicity, and culture. If you are white, black, hispanic, etc, you will be rightly labeled as "different".
They are not racist its a homogenous society and country. you can't force multiculturalism onto a place that is not existing like this and has no history of doing so that is racist to them.
If you live in Japan long enough or work for any length of time as an ALT or other type of para educator you will know immediately that the school girls being harassed were Junior high school students. So their age is somewhere between 12 and 15 while a stranger gets uncomfortably close to them.
reminder that never in the history of japan was such a strange law ever needed. not until now. a restriction on freedom because of specific reasons. we all know what those reasons are...

Actually, I think you can avoid this by signaling that you are simply not of that culture. Wear a suit. Don't dance in the subway. Act like the Japanese around you. Distance yourself from "African american" culture. Most People won't think you are part of this group, when you don't look and act like that group. That people associate your skin color with that behavior is reasonable, but I don't think they believe that there is a causal relationship. It's a coincidence. Why would they think that a orderly and polite, well dressed black man would be the same as these black men? Wouldn't it be easy to say that you ARE different, due to behavior and culture, despite your ethnicity being the same? I'm German, and despite the fact that all central Europeans are "white", I would never let anyone group us together like that, because we are culturally very different. You should try and do the same.
We've been doing this for eons because we push it on others, there isn't a single thing stopping us from displaying socially acceptable behavior around people who aren't like us.
To answer Asmon's question; "Why let it happen?": Because we're not allowed to deck people for invading our personal space here. I'm not saying let us challenge each other at high noon in the streets or anything... but we certainly need a "Back the F Off Me" clause in our social contract. We should be allowed to lamp someone invading our personal bubble. I know, I know; "that isn't the answer, blah blah blah." Except when it is, and when it works--then, suddenly, it's a great answer.

A few issues with that, although I see where you're coming from. He's Japanese (half but raised there). The vast majority of that content was in the US and I believe Australia. Some of it was in Japan but it was way turned down compared to his antics in the US. I'd have to find the videos again but if you watch you can instantly tell the difference
the people being harassed in the subway video should sue the creator of the video. In Japanese law it's legal to film people in public BUT it is not legal to post/publish without the persons permission. This would be a civil court case. If you watch Japanese broadcast news this why they blur the faces of people in the background on the street. Many if not most Japanese citizens will do the same when posing on IG, FB, Tik Tok especially of children's faces.

You undermined your entire point by defending IShowSpeed with "he's just a kid"[18]". That's *exactly* the problem. First, he's 18, an adult. Second, kids need to be educated, not indulged. Go have some kids with someone before telling us parents what we should or should not tolerate from a "kid".

In Japan it is considered rude and obnoxious to draw attention to oneself with odd behavior. While anime and jrpgs often feature wacky characters, the overwhelming majority of Japanese people are fairly reserved. However they can be very welcoming toward foreigners who behave calmly and show genuine interest in their culture.
they understand that life is not an anime. Seems many westerners don't.
I lived there for 5 years thanks to the military. This exactly. Learn the basic social rules about keeping to yourself, and they're the nicest people on the planet generally.
Otakus are viewed as weird people in Japan.
"While anime and jrpgs often feature wacky characters" I believe that this is the case because of their stricter culture, it would make sense.. though could be wrong.
Even in anime and JRPGs if you look at what the character generally are, they’re generally understated even in comparison to Tik Tokers. If they do anything wacky, it’s often for a really extreme reason (the world is at stake), and they generally don’t go bothering people in this way. In fact, this is the sort of thing where if an anime character had someone like this in the scene even the weirdest anime protagonists would probably still be weirded out by this.
These people are more obnoxious than anime characters.

Well im not an American nor am I black or white, but one thing is for sure is its much harder to find white B-dancers than blacks . The reason why break dancers are not allowed is obviously because it cannot be performed in small cramped spaces and in Japan alot of spaces feel cramped, Japanese people are very reserved and the least likely to retaliate from this reprehensible behavior so the only way to get the message across is for the government to be as direct as possible. Sometimes you have to be direct and this is also to protect those other street performers who arent a nuisance to other people around them.

@zumy1507 Personally I do not see that Japan's public manners and rules are strict, but simply rational; before, just a couple decades ago, in America and Europe this was called common sense, respect, literacy and common courtesy, which unfortunately have all been lost.
On the contrary, close Japanese friends and students have confessed to me that they are saddened by how manners have relaxed in Japan, and how with each generation education in values and ethics has become more permissive or lax, due to bad parenting and the influence of the Internet. In their opinion, values, ethics, social customs and manners should be much stricter, and this is also true for the West.

Because if you think they weren't racially motivated, you'll need to get your eyes checked. Oh, sorry about calling your people out, though. You are now allowed to rage.
@@NowioFel the 1% is the 13% doing 50%...math is fun! 😂
@ 1% of tourists are representatives of a certain 13% american demographic that are responsible for 60% of certain activities in americas national statistics.

Thanks Johnny, as a black man I can never enter Japan without prejudice again, if it wasn’t already bad before.
Actually, I think you can avoid this by signaling that you are simply not of that culture.
Wear a suit. Don't dance in the subway. Act like the Japanese around you. Distance yourself from "African american" culture.
Most People won't think you are part of this group, when you don't look and act like that group.
That people associate your skin color with that behavior is reasonable, but I don't think they believe that there is a causal relationship. It's a coincidence.
Why would they think that a orderly and polite, well dressed black man would be the same as these black men? Wouldn't it be easy to say that you ARE different, due to behavior and culture, despite your ethnicity being the same?
I'm German, and despite the fact that all central Europeans are "white", I would never let anyone group us together like that, because we are culturally very different. You should try and do the same.
We've been doing this for eons because we push it on others, there isn't a single thing stopping us from displaying socially acceptable behavior around people who aren't like us.
Japan leading by example, it might be your vacation spot but it's their HOME. Respect the country, you are a GUEST!!!
As a New Yorker, I actually never enjoyed the showtime inside the Subway cars...
Yea, it's mad annoying having to endure that after a long day of work
Yeah, I hated it when I lived there.
To answer Asmon's question; "Why let it happen?": Because we're not allowed to deck people for invading our personal space here. I'm not saying let us challenge each other at high noon in the streets or anything... but we certainly need a "Back the F Off Me" clause in our social contract. We should be allowed to lamp someone invading our personal bubble. I know, I know; "that isn't the answer, blah blah blah." Except when it is, and when it works--then, suddenly, it's a great answer.
I agree with you, foreigners should learn what boundaries are, instead of just going around mindlessly desecrating a culture.
As someone who lives in Japan, it’s customary to be silent on the trains. Don’t make sounds and disturb others. 空気を読む
Its not just that. Its pestering. Like, I'm cultured to leave people alone. Don't be a nuisance. Don't bother others.
@ very true! this ABSOLUTELY extends beyond trains. I was just making the point that in Japan it is Especially rude to make any kind of noise or distractions on trains.
It should me matter of common sense, not custom, all around world
My kind of country.
Only exception are the ojiichans that have had a few beers. They can get a little noisy. It's okay.
Everyone is having enough of them.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant
Now the rest of the world is beginning to understand how America feels
🤐
I feel sorry on how we treated cops in America when they were the ones that were way ahead of the curve
Asmon talking about ishowspeed "He's just a kid"
I didn't do that when I was a kid, they need to learn the hard way
Pattern recognition is not racism
This has nothing to do with race but that won't stop you for taking this as an opportunity to be racist
@@Numb_when scientists said that the human brain is the single, most powerful pattern recognition tool in existence, they weren't talking about yours.
Yes it is. And it's good.
@@Numb_ and racism is bad because why exactly?
where was this 'pattern recognition" with logan paul?
Really suprised filthy frank/pink guy wasnt brought up about how he had a series where hed fake sezures in the streets of japan yell profanity and just plain asshole over multiple videos in japan about 10-15 years ago.
One of his stand out catch phrases/antics was running into an establishment then yelling HEY BAOSS, CAN I HAVA THA POOSAY PLAESE
A few issues with that, although I see where you're coming from.
He's Japanese (half but raised there). The vast majority of that content was in the US and I believe Australia. Some of it was in Japan but it was way turned down compared to his antics in the US. I'd have to find the videos again but if you watch you can instantly tell the difference
That sign presents an honest and straightforward message about who is causing the problem there in Japan.
And it should be that way.
1 guy and his friends?
the people being harassed in the subway video should sue the creator of the video. In Japanese law it's legal to film people in public BUT it is not legal to post/publish without the persons permission. This would be a civil court case. If you watch Japanese broadcast news this why they blur the faces of people in the background on the street. Many if not most Japanese citizens will do the same when posing on IG, FB, Tik Tok especially of children's faces.
Japan needs to take a hard stance on these creator tourists who are disturbing the cultural norms Japan has
I think it’d be epic if cell phones were confiscated!
As an American in his 30s, monkey used to be more commonly used as a term for generally hectic and wild.

@@mashi9222 The ironic thing is that these statistics came about after Jim Crow was gotten rid of. The real problem is the governments they elect just make everything worse and then shift the blame away from themselves.
Hmmmmm
In Japan, talking on phone in trains is enough to be considered bad manner. They won't tolerate odd acts or anything that gains attention.
It's a bad manner. I'm German and I can't stand that too. Also a phonecall is much to private to have it in public. Because only private stuff and people ever call me
Is common decency lacking nowadays, we Asian has been tolerant enough already, this got to stop please
You need to make an example. Some time in prison.
Common decency is an oxymoron.
Agreed 👍
Usa Is hated by the whole world due to people who do stuff like this when traveling out the country
@batboy555 not like it'll be hard, Japan has that messed up 99% guilty rate or whatever.
I am a foreigner and I also hate the street karting. I haven’t seen a single Japanese doing that. They are also so obnoxious driving around like they own the street. I even almost got run over because they don’t respect the traffic lights since they don’t want to get separated from the rest of the group.
imagine you working 12-14 hour days at a real job and just want some peace and quiet on the subway ride home but these bums are trying to make it famous by being annoying and crosses your path?
The joy of "it's criminal to punch them. It's pointless to report them"
Working too long hours can lead to depression and suicide, which is not good. Politeness is good, but Japan is a bit extreme, personal opinion. I would rather live in Taiwan or Europe and the United States, which is why I didn't choose Japan. Women's life in Japan is getting worse and worse, but it's just a little better than in China, although as a man. It's clean and very good. It's a good place to travel to Japan. Let me ask you a question: Do you not have the ability to choose your own support people elections over there?
@@lucykater1695 Bruh, China is HUGE. Which part in China are you talking about?
In USA, you are encourage to "you do you'', "be yourself", "do what you want", "be the centre of attention", "you are the star"; but there YOU SHOULD MIND YOU BEHAVIOUR!!! how hard is this for people to understand?!
that's what happens when individualism is prioritised over the community. It makes one self absorbed
this stuff is whats making it harder for normal tourists to visit japan
Its also making it harder for anyone to live in Japan.
3:22 They don’t know; they’re just being racist and don’t see other races as human as them, so they treat them as objects. I know the feeling-it’s like, "They don’t know me, they look different, I can do whatever I want. I can go back to my country, and nobody will know I did stupid stuff to them." But I have a little bit of brain and common sense to not actually do that shit.
