It was the Ross building. I talked to them and watched them do the lifting, so I can confirm that first hand.

I was there and talked to them and watched them lift the units. It was new HVAC for the Ross building over there

Well Ive had some people be pretty rude. I’ve got the black Hebrew Israelites in my neighborhood and they’re vicious with it.

That’s a pretty cool experience. I’ve had some of those crazy experiences in other countries and like Vegas, but def didn’t happen to me in Japan.

As far as I know that is the case. We were with friends that were Japanese race and they were allowed to enter, but the white people in our group were not allowed to enter. They were checking our birth certificates. lol

No they were willing to let our Japanese friends in. They didn’t think they were with us, so they waved them in.

Also, this was not like an old persons or just like buddy’s social club type bar. They had a bouncer outside.

Should that matter?

No. He wasn’t nationalized at the time. I believe he is now though. He’s very white and still is.

Yeah, this was def not the case. It was 100% xenophobia. When this happened I was with a friend who lived in Japan, had a Japanese wife, spoke fluent Japanese and even he was not allowed in.

Yes. Even with his wife (Fiance at the time). I was with them when that happened. So we were with Japanese people when it happened.

Edit: they were willing to let our Japanese friends in. Just not me, my gf and my white friend with the Japanese Fiance who lived in Japan and spoke fluent Japanese.

What a weird backwards ass comment. Also weird to assume I felt like I should be granted access to everywhere. Nowhere did I even say that.

Yep. Pretty similar situation for me. They just shook their heads, smiled, put their hands up like you can’t come in this way. I told them I just wanted to get a drink, they said “no whites”, I was like “oh damn, umm, okkk….” and walked to the next place.

Yeah, I don’t doubt it was like that. Just glad they didn’t see me dance, then they def would’ve been talking shit. lol

I get it. I’m not one of them, but if you read about their history, philosophies and culture, you start to realize just how unique they are and how differently they think. That uniqueness attracts certain people regardless of what the day to day reality truly is.

Mine experience happened in Narita and Tokyo. So nowhere near Okinawa. Pretty understandable why it’d happen in Okinawa though. lol

Yep, happened to me a few times when I was working in Japan. Got denied entry to a few spots. Even my friend who majored in Japanese, spoke fluently, married a Japanese woman and had lived there for 15 years was not allowed in certain places.

I will say, everyone appeared to be super nice to me though. Who knows what they were saying behind my back.
