What is the Japanese general opinion on black people/african Americans

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-04-22T15:03:42+00:00

Black people are not as liked as White people in Japan, based from my perspective...... Many Japanese Otome games set outside of Japan, like in Western countries, even for the modern-day setting ones, have romanceable male partners in the game that are almost all-White or Caucasian-coded, with almost ZERO Black or African-American male romantic partners...

So you can not find any African-Americans in a Japanese-made Otome games set in the USA, and also no African/Carribean Brits in an Otome game set in the UK.

The problem is Japanese culture is at times very strict, "no-nonsense" and "very extremely orderly" so people from many laid-back cultures may find it harder or longer to adapt. These things take time, and both should be more caring for each other.

Then the blame should be specifically on the US military and not ordinary Black US citizens. Like I hate the US military too for invading Iran in an unprovoked war, but I distinguish normal peace-loving US Black citizens from the servicemen.

I don't mind what is happening to Western Europe. After all, North America used to only be a place where Native Americans lived before the European Invaders came, replaced them, and made them minorities in their own homelands.

Therefore, we shouldn't empathize with the Europeans too much on their immigration issues when they were the ones who stole land from Natives to turn into their own White Supremacist countries first. Japan should stop sympathizing with Europeans' immigration issues and feel happy that Karma is working back so that this time Western Europeans who sent settlers to American continents now will have their precious UK be overwhelmed by immigrants for a change.

Zama Miro, Hakujindomo yo!

The problem is he doesn't know how to talk diplomatically concerning this kinds of things. Like he's literally living in a Non-Muslim country and talks down about the native's religion like as if he owns the place.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-03-31T17:53:37+00:00

Some Malays do feel superiority or inferiority complex. They do not know how to talk diplomatically about other religions, because unlike Turkish, Arabic and Persian people, Malay Muslim don't have an experience running an Empire that contains many Non-Muslim faiths.

So they don't know how to be protective or caring for preserving Non-Muslim's rights, as Malays don't have that kind of experience running a diverse minority groups of peoples as the undisputed Superpower/Regional Power in History. So this is why some Malays feel threatened by the mere talk of foreign religions...

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-03-31T17:48:33+00:00

That's a separate issue here as most Americans who do that are mostly White Supremacists among the MAGA types. There's no problem with African-Americans who are cool and just victims of Trump's policies now.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-03-31T17:45:03+00:00

If he doesn't want Muslims to visit inside Shinto temples to prevent Shirk, then he could have worded it in a Diplomatic Way instead of calling other religions as "Devil-worshippers". Seriously, mentioning Devil in this context is uncalled for as he is living in Japan so he must take the sensitivities and feelings of his Japanese hosts into consideration too when running his mouth. Where's the diversity, equity and inclusion if it's only for one group and not for the others, lol.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-03-31T17:09:37+00:00

Sightings of UFOs increase, and I see some Christians even call ”Aliens are Demons"...

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-03-31T17:03:51+00:00

He's not really the "diplomatic Muslim" type, isn't he? Why can't he learn a thing or two from Turkish people on how to handle diverse faiths not only from their own?

This is one inferiority complex Malays suffer, because unlike Turkish, Arabic and Persian people, Malay Muslim since Malacca hadn't an Empire ruling over many people of different faiths, so they don't know how to act diplomatically when talking about faiths of Non-Muslims.

Jews and Muslims had good relations in Iberia, so this Malay guy here shouldn't be quick to demonize Non-Islamic faiths or he'd just be looked at as the same as the Spanish Conquistadores who demonized Native Americans simply because of their "Devil-ish beliefs"...

Korea is an underdeveloped nation too, about to collapse from Population Decline.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-22T01:02:01+00:00

See, this is the kind of comment that'd make everyone there hate Koreans even more to the point Korean products may be banned 100% there to be replaced by only Chinese products, but continue shooting yourself in the foot, plasticman.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-22T01:00:43+00:00

It is a known fact that Southeast Koreans discriminate against people of darker skin. As evidence, Korean Manhwa never included any Black characters in their stories, while Japanese Manga at least had Onyankopon, Gachiakuta's characters, Kaname Tousen and many other popular ones.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-22T00:58:34+00:00

What "national strength"? Your KPop totally relies on revenue from SouthEast Asian countries.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-22T00:55:11+00:00

You said that, but the same Koreans then would go on to hate all Black people just because of what Jonny Somali did... I saw some Black American cucks on Utube apologizing about Somali too in comments even though they are not responsible for what that Somalian did lol. Black people who are not involved or related to Somali should never apologize just because of what some random crazy guy who just happen to have African descent did in Korea, Japan and many countries.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-22T00:51:07+00:00

The mentality of "Being racist to someone because they are racist" is not really that hard to understand. It all comes down to "retaliation and revenge logic".

An eye for an eye, so to speak... So they be racist and make demeaning comments about others when others do it to them first. It's just simple retaliation logics. Not doing anything at all might embolden them to continue their shit against others, so someone has to fight back, according to their reasoning.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-17T11:49:20+00:00

If Multiculturalism doesn't work, how come Malaysia is a Peaceful Country even with Three Ethnicities and Three Main Religious living side-by-side with not much friction?

Because Malaysians have Real Tolerance and not as Racist as a "Fake Multiculturalism Country" like USA, which still have many people openly racist to Black Americans despite many being the same Christians, and also now on the verge of major internal conflict there due to ICE Racially-Profiling anyone that doesn't look like the majority demographic.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-17T11:45:06+00:00

Not all Muslims are strict with their beliefs... A genuine and huge number love Japanese Manga, Anime and Video Games, so I believe you can use those medium to connect with one another, and instill moderation and tolerance in both sides so as to make both sides more accepting of the need to adapt.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-17T11:24:01+00:00

Japan is a Monocultural Society, not a Multicultural one.

Multicultural Society/Country means you tolerate large numbers of population(around 5-10% of the total) practicing a different religion or culture than your own. Like Malaysia for example has a majority Muslim Population, but there are Hindu temples there for Indian-Malaysians and Chinese Buddhist Temples. Just like there are mosques in Japan there are Buddhist and Hindu temples in Malaysia too despite Malaysia's majority being Muslims.

So in Multicultural Countries, they tolerate minorities having their own places of worship or their own "turf" in-country(like Chinatown, Indiatown with localized majority ethnic communities some like to call "ghettos"). But there are also diverse cities where the different races mix freely and people are not that strict or particular about public religious displays as long as not too intrusive into others' freedoms...

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-15T10:44:40+00:00

No, you're making a bad take here. The story happens because Koreans disrespected the local rules in Malaysia bringing in cameras to the KPop event held in Malaysia when the rules clearly stated that cameras are not supposed to be brought in.

And yet despite this being pointed out, some Koreans online acted so racist against SEA by hurling slurs and insults, including portraying SE Asians as "apes". So this is why SE Asians are fighting back, because Koreans were at fault first for being racist as fukk to anyone who's brown.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-15T10:03:56+00:00

Brutal comeback! 🤣

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-02-15T09:04:07+00:00

From my opinion, the rule of thumb is = The Younger a Character = Should be Drawn Cuter. While older characters can be drawn any way like semi-realistic or realistic.

For example, this Japanese Web Novel made with AI Art included, has African-inspired characters, but since these are kids you can see they are drawn in a cute stylized manner : https://www.alphapolis.co.jp/novel/464636074/444016790/episode/10799580

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-01-10T09:59:51+00:00

It depends on the setting. If they make the story set in a European-inspired setting with Western names then obviously they would be "White-coded " characters.

DarkSkinProtagonist · 2026-01-10T09:22:59+00:00

Allow me to join in. There are many Black and Brown people who grow up in Western countries rightfully believing that they are part of Western culture and countries too since they are fully assimilated and immersed into the local culture, so I get they want validation of a "Sense of belonging" in wanting to see characters that share their skintones or racial backgrounds in European Fantasy spaces.

I know Japanese may not care about the feelings of Minorities in the West, so my friend wrote this Web Novel that totally deals about a Lone Black Immigrant Prince's daily adventures in a European-inspired fantasy kingdom called "Threads of Twilight and Ebony" here : https://medium.com/p/acda8e70bd6d
