Wow, someone is "soul", if you know what I mean.

@ starteacher,
Haha, what do you think? The western world is very eurocentric, no matter how diverse in ethnicities their countries are. Im sure many people would agree that a lot of caucasian foreign males come to Japan primarily for the women; the money, travel opportunities, cultural interest, and the casual lifestyle usually being secondary. Being that caucasians have exotic features in Japan, they tend to receive a lot more attention and benefits than their Japanese and nonwhite foreign counterparts, so I think a lot of caucasians get consumed with an overinflated ego while in Japan, and they think they can have anything they want, especially women. Coming into Japan, I think that many caucasians already discreetly believe they are superior to other ethnic groups based on what is programmed into them through mass media, family, friends etc.; however, while living in Japan, they really get spoiled and this intrinsic belief tends to show through more apparently the longer they stay. Furthermore, Asians really value lighter skin/features, so they actually reinforce the egos of caucasians by showing more admiration and respect to them. I am making a general assessment based on my own experiences and observations, and of course, there are always exceptions. |
