Two accounts of bigotry
Nationalist sentiment creeps in; foreign resident in Japan experiences the wrath of passive-aggression due to scapegoating
I soon realize there’s a foot out in front of me, ostensibly trying to trip me. ... It belongs to the passenger who was standing in front of me when I was seated - he’s now stretching his foot backwards to try and trip me on my way out the door!
On media coverage of foreigners:
Chubu foreigner crime has increased 3.3-fold, and Shikoku foreigner crime has increased 4.5-fold. A significant increase, but still a far cry from the 35-fold and 21.5-fold numbers cited in the articles.
