Thoughts and prayers

I'm not sure what is actually worse, what happened to this soldier in public, or the fact that there has been such little news coverage of this horrendous act that I had to learn about it on a fish forum.

@Akuma how do Japanese people, mostly those in Tokyo, feel about foreigners(Americans) who come there to work for their company on a medium-term basis? Not trying to gain citizenship, but live there for business purposes? I'm asking because my company has many locations worldwide including a few in Japan that I could have the opportunity to transfer to, that way we can share different ways of doing business and hopefully become a more efficient and profitable company because of it. In your opinion would it be worth it for me to take a transfer to one of these locations? For what it's worth someone I know is getting prepared to spend a year in Saudi Arabia which I wouldn't feel comfortable doing right now.

That would assume that we see all asians as equal...Many japanese tend to see themself superior to any nation and see other asian countries basicly as the scum of the earth. If you are filipino, chinese or korean you don't get served in most shops and restaurants. Black people are seen as, hm idk how to say, strange. You don't see it often. People stare after them but treat them ok. Whites are also treated fine but there is alot of "back racism" that means you get threated fine but as soon you turn around you are just the nasty gaijin

Makes me not wanting to go to Japan. I like to sample the fresh sashimi and nigiri there but it does not seem to worth the price(and I don't mean money).

it always pissed me off when I see Asians hating other Asians.

I always wanted to visit japan but after learning these things that's the last place i'd visit. being hated on or looked down upon without even knowing anything about me. it's sad really

They should have hacked these animals to death on the spot. Leave them there to suffer with no medical aid. Unfortunately these kinds of attacks will be going on now as long as humans will be around. It is gonna escalate more, and the sad part is you can't tell who your enemy is anymore and when they will strike these days.
