in reply to diffaldo • • •Guess who's reading this, lol

Anyway, this is blatantly ~~racism~~ xenophobia and don't give me the "yes but what if they don't have anyone who speaks english or chinese?" That's fair but in that case you put something that says "sorry we don't have any english speaking staff" or tell me directly but anyway, it shouldn't be that hard to order tbh, yeah i can't talk but we are in 2026 with such translation tools, i can scan, look at what it says and then point at the various menu entries with my finger, to pay i can just look at the numbers lmao
Edit: corrected racism in to xenophobia

Not being pedantic, but misnaming thins only adds to the woes of the world, to (mis)quote Camus.

in reply to diffaldo • • •My wife is southeast Asian. Going to Japan, I felt a lot of like... weird energy at times where they just kind of looked at me. I never felt unsafe, just judged. I told my wife this, who said she felt the complete opposite. People were normal to her. She blended in.
She was born and raised in the States, and we traveled to a bunch of States (fuck Missouri) where she really felt unsafe like if she didn't leave town, they would make us. And Ive shared before how we got a "Go back to your own country" from other people, and even one showing off his gun.
Do I feel like Japanese racism is uncalled for? Absolutely. Again, I never felt unsafe. So it's really interesting to see this perspective in the comments like this is the worst disgusting attitude in the world because someone snubbed them vs feeling like you're not wanted/you should leave for your own safety.
