This right here.
Had so many white ex-coworkers tell me of the "racism" they faced in Japan and always struggled to keep my eyes from rolling out.
JP people not sitting next to you on a train isn't the same as POCs being killed and assaulted in the streets.

JP does have "Japanese-only" establishments. And yes, there are landlords who don't rent out houses to foreigners.
But the "inconveniences" you experience as a white person in JP is still leagues better than shit other people go through.

Many Southeast Asian migrants, Nepalese workers, Nikkeis, Zainichi etc get treated like trash all the time in Japan.
"Random" police checks on a weekly basis, job segregation, being treated as lesser etc.
White folks can just put on a pressed shirt and get a teaching job in JP.

I'm not American, so the racism I grew up with in NZ is probably different.
But if there really are white folks saying they had it "rough in Japan", know that there are thousands of people who would gladly trade everything to have your "slightly inconvenient life in JP",
