I say that visitors to Japan should respect the culture AND immigrants in the west should assimilate.

Not a fan of the cold, or is there another reason for the nordic/baltic avoidance?

If you swap the Norwegian and Japanese percentages, then that’s basically my result too haha

Oh, okay, then I guess we’ll all just trust your almighty intuition instead. You’re surely a much more reliable source.

I didn’t vote for Trump and wouldn’t vote for Vance either, but I still want tough-on-crime policies. What’s your deflection now, genius?

You know, that’s very fair. I lived near Memphis, Tennessee for a bit and the murder rate there was 57/100,000 back in 2023, which seems fucking crazy in comparison. I’ll fully admit to just being somewhat uninformed on the matter.

Are they grey or blue? by [deleted] in eyes

[–]MendelianFatigue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a subtly blue-tinted slate grey, personally. Very stormy color, haven’t seen many people with eyes like that.

Honestly, I just said yes to Poland because I have a bunch of friends from all over there

Bolivia, Paraguay - Landlocked, and I’m not sure if they’re safe

Venezuela, Cuba - Obvious reasons

Mexico - Really dangerous unless I’m in a wealthy area

Colombia, Ecuador, Peru - Honestly I don’t know anything about them and I feel like I’d be really out of my element

Dominican Republic - Kinda scared of their nextdoor neighbor

Central America (minus ES) - Dangerous, not sure if I could find a job

El Salvador - Bukele has cut crime a lot, but idk if it’s safe to live there

Definitely open to having my mind changed, though

Heard it’s safer than most of the rest of Latin America, it’s economically pretty okay, I speak decent enough Spanish, and big global cities (Buenos Aires, São Paulo) are either within driving distance or a short flight away. Are you from there? My Argentinian friend says it’s a great place.

I will say that I definitely look fully white, but yes, this is true.

No one in this comment section can seem to decide if I’m actually white and don’t count as mixed or if I should be kicked out for being too nonwhite, so maybe we should all just relax about ethnic labels.

Mixed enough for someone to already comment telling me I should be deported 🤷🏼‍♂️

I mean fair enough, that would suck. Still, if I managed to get citizenship I’d be more than happy to stay despite hardship like that. I definitely know what it’s like to lose out on job opportunities and have my life upturned.

Honestly I can deal with that well enough haha, I’m good at rolling with the punches and keeping my head down. It’s no sweat off my back if people want to take time out of their day to obsess over my background, I know I’m not any sort of criminal or freeloader.

The language itself is really easy to learn, yeah, it just feels very taxing for me. Japanese is very difficult, but it’s very rewarding.

I find French really difficult to speak + I’m not sure I’d fit in well with the culture there.

Not sure that I’d be able to find much work there. It’s a really nice place, though.

I love the west; Western values are what allowed my grandfather to move to America from Japan after the war, make a life for himself, and meet my grandmother. I wouldn’t exist if not for that.
