I'm a Southeast Asian male, with brown skin, and I've been living in Japan for about a year now. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m just unlucky, but I’ve experienced a lot of racism here. I’m just being myself, I don’t try to stand out or cause any trouble, but every time I go out, it feels like most people are staring at me.
I studied at an international university, and even students from the Japanese departments would sometimes make racist remarks toward us. I also tried doing some part-time jobs, and that’s actually where I faced the most racism, not really from customers, but from the people I worked with, especially young males and old men.
How should I deal with them? I feel like I can't do anything if something happens. They will only protect their own people. I don't know what to do anymore if they start a problem for no reason.
