What I would like to think in order to reduce prejudice when becoming a minority in society

"The day the Japanese will be arrested as a foreignerSince it was talked about the article called "I thought of myself". It is said that "people should not be judged by appearance", but in many countries "Oriental = Chinese". How many times have you repeated this conversation as "Can you kung fu"? "Wait a minute (can not do it)". But I do not mind if there is no malice. They are only happy for foreigners.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. As a traveler who traveled in 115 countries for three years in total for about seven years, I can not agree with accepting aggressive immigration calling discussion in Japan. How many people are aware that living in a foreign country is an inconvenience as a minority for a lifetime. Even a traveler needed to match the other party.

People are judged by appearance
At the last chance, "The day the Japanese will be arrested as a foreignerReading the article that reads a series of comments. No one will be rebounding against the author's argument that "Japanese people who do not look like Japanese people live a lot".

However, if his argument is right, when he went back to Japan temporarily, he / she should have protested thoroughly that "people are not looking" who received simple carry-over inspection twice. However, it was doubtful to see how I was wandering abroad for two or three years, and while traveling in real, there was a "ban on cannabis" in a Japanese inn in Thailand the roof of the building In Australia, "I will try to suck it a bit" and college students are handling themselves with interest or as a person who has seen such Japanese, refuted the reason for suspect There was no room for it, only to obey and obey. I will not take drugs, but when I return home temporarily at the end of September three times in a row for the first time in 2 years, since they are their work, I will cooperate in advance. ...... In addition, those who smoke marijuana, because there are some people I dislike, please do not see it in places that can not be seen.

Despite the fact that there is a poster saying "Cannabis is banned" in a Japanese inn. ....


Baggage inspection at Kansai International Airport which I went back to Tokyo for the first time in 3 years.


In Nigeria "There is a bit of friends coming and waiting for me", and it is a policeman who came out "There is no choice of rejection if it is said that we are going to investigate with the police station together from now." In Vietnam, when I was stuck in the "foreign refusal" of the Internet cafe, I also had bitter memories that I felt the crisis of life, being called by police officers who mistakenly seen themselves from that line. They were carried on, but they were nice guys who could speak and break apart. In China, "I confirmed it for a while but foreigners can not stop at our inn", the hotel owner took me to the public hotel called exclusively for foreigners. "Chinese people are enjoying freedom in foreign countries," even if they complain, "There is no legal restriction on accommodation restrictions," he said. When I arrived in Canada, I was interrogated in a separate room as "How much money do I have?" "What kind of trip do you have?" However, although time was taken either way, it is a category of their work, it is not a translation which received unreasonable treatment, it is convinced that there is no choice. Therefore, I could not convince the article of this time. Actually, the actions of the Japanese police that had reached arrest may have been brave enough, but people who suspected might have waved.

Vietnam was also strictly gentle to foreigners.


Having been stopped by an Indonesian checkup.


If you are advocating, you will not be conscious of being a Japanese in a multi-racial nation America. However, in my trip I often gather curious eyes as foreigners. Especially in Africa, it was hard to be surrounded by anything. A cute face that inquires from the cafeteria 's window with a glaring flicker. Although it is annoying, there is no choice but to say "Chinchon Chang" if you do not have a kid. Like a panda eating bamboo grass, I sometimes quietly pierced the pineapple at the center of a crowd of people. If you go to a local town in Latin America too, you will be concerned about the gazing stinging gaze, but I do not care because it is not malicious. Otherwise I will be proud that they are "staying here because they are traveling by bicycle". Although I was frustrated, I was also annoying local people, but the minority is the answer to this trip that I need the knowledge of minority. If you live forever in a foreign country, you will never be treated equally.

The local people who gave a gentle eye of Sierra Leone.


In a supermarket in a rural town in Mexico, it became conspicuous by no means.


◆ As a minority
Recharging the mobile in Mexico while traveling had to read the number. I am not used to Spanish, prepared my own paper card. By doing so, the work proceeds easily. Although I said "3000 (Torres Mill)", I fell down when I recharged "13000 (Trese Mill), but I still had to push ahead. Even in East Africa where English was relatively well understood, I could not communicate at all in Tanzania outback, and I was encouraged to acquire Swahili language in necessity. Because I can not communicate with words, I will not change even if I cry or cry. Appropriate efforts are also necessary to be accepted by the opponent.

Convenient memo for mobile recharge.


Teaching materials to learn Spanish.


At the junior high school in Fukuoka, which is ridiculed as the country of the Shura, "It is you in the forest, not trees, that is why individual behavior is important". Until we entered the school regulations were shabby, and it turns out that there was a possibility that it would be rough unless we tightened the reins. The hardships of people living abroad while away from their home country are immeasurable, but I would like you to change the location of yourself by accumulating results. Everyone, regardless of minority of nationality, is the same thing, at least the act of immigration should be the result chosen by myself. Children can not choose the environment to be born. I think that it would be better for people who would like to have someone say "I do not want to judge it by appearance because he is different" rather than saying "I do not want people to judge by appearance".

Writing such an article would be said to be discriminatory from some people. Surely while being packing a bicycle at the Brazilian airport, people in the area asked something, first, I confirmed that my bag is safe. But, there is no discrimination. Well, you should walk in Johannesburg, which is said to be dangerous, just like in Japan. Can young people wearing a parka and hiding their heads in the hood with nobody in foreign country stay calm even if they are walking behind? I do not imitate embarrassing to strike a strange person walking on the street, but I can not even come up with ideas like love & peace with all humanity equality. It is ironically demonstrating the difficulty of multicultural symbiosis at the same time that it is easy to judge that "he is discriminatory" and "you have prejudice" with only a different opinion from himself .

CNN.co.jp: Mr. Obama, black boys of shooting were "I was myself 35 years ago" - (1/2)
http://www.cnn.co.jp/usa/35034931.html

President Obama said, "Many black people, including me, have the experience of being able to follow after shopping at department stores," he says, "When a lot of black people cross the street, the sound of the car door being locked "I also had a similar experience before becoming a senator at least," he added.

Although there is a story saying, I can understand this feeling sufficiently and can not be thought of as being blamed. Conversely, if you put it in a supermarket without leaving your bag, make sure that the zipper is closed and use your mind so that it does not become suspicious behavior. If everyone becomes a suspicious person, you have to leave your bags to the luggage store or locker.

Luggage for Chinese baggage.


Recently also by the white police officer in the USAShooting death to black youthA protest to the riot occurred. Although the environment for the black society in America is a stack of problems, it is still a country that raises black presidents themselves beyond the race of race, and McDonald 's representing the world is also a black manMs. ThompsonHe is skillful as CEO. Race is not a big problem, it is simply a result of whether that person does or does not do it. International marriage will also increase, globalization will inevitably progress in Japan, and we will not oppose anyone who is active from there. Welcome regardless of race if you are a Japanese.

I have spent over half of my life as a minority I can not choose. I do not have difficulty in real life because I do not know if I do it normally, but people who are in the same circumstances still receive a slightly different impression. But I do not want to say that I have prejudice against this, I absolutely want to show you what I can do.

It was my responsibility to choose a trip with high school.
