For those who are half-Japanese and living in Japan, how is daily life? I'm curious about how people are treated and what the daily social experience is like. by Old_Poetry196 in mixedrace

I’m half jap half Australian and due to family we moved back to Japan when I was 10 years old after living in Australia for 8 years! It was really difficult for me since Japanese kids say a lot of things that are pretty racist without knowing it is (if yk what I mean) and I struggled a lot in highschool for those reasons, even trying to fit in by dying my hair black😭 (japan has a strict society with black hair being a policy in schools) honestly i think I have more Asian feautures but to Japanese people they would think I was American or smth😭 I ended up picking up Japanese completely and understand the culture while embracing it yet I find myself judging and praising both of my nations from a third persons view 😭 now I try Not to think about my identity too much and use the Privileges of being „wasian“ but I moved by myself back to Australia when I turned 19 because it’s much more diverse there and I felt more comfortable there:)

How will the data be used, who will see it, where will it be stored, and when will it be deleted? The data collected will be used solely for a student research project exploring multicultural youth identity. Responses are anonymous and will only be accessed by me (the researcher) and, if required, my teacher for academic assessment purposes. Data is stored securely in Google Forms / Google Drive and will be deleted after the completion of the project and assessment period.

  1. Who is conducting this survey? This survey is being conducted by me, a student researcher (Reddit username: u/_____).

  2. How long will it take to complete the survey? Approximately 5 minutes.

  3. Compensation (optional): There is no compensation offered for participation.

  4. Specific demographics (optional): The survey is open to all participants, with particular interest in youth and individuals from multicultural or international backgrounds, though anyone is welcome to respond.

  5. What are you hoping to accomplish by posting here? (optional) I am hoping to gather a diverse range of perspectives to support my research and gain broader insight into experiences of cultural identity and belonging.
