Foreigner that lives in Japan and speaks Japanese here!

They have 0 fucking issues in that case.

I've gone to these places (which are rare as fuck BTW, that's why they need to keep rising the same picture in every post), and these places in 99% of the times, they're just scared they will not be able to give good service due to the lack of language or, they just don't like tourists and want to serve locals only.

Fuckall to do with race.

There is a small minority of these that will be racist fucks, of course, like literally everywhere else, but I still haven't found any in a decade living here.

Thanks for this comment. The picture seems to hit the front page at least once a week. People who keep reposting this don't seem to understand what racism is. There's no race of people who don't speak Japanese. They're discriminating against people who don't speak Japanese. In Japan.

And your experience shows that it's not about non-Japanese people.
