Because Japan can be extremely xenophobic.

going to nightclubs as a foreigner in japan: everyone loves you and wants to talk to you

getting a job (other than teaching english to kids) as a foreigner in japan: good luck

I think you meant "going to nightclubs as a white foreigner in Japan"

Ehhh. My experience in some bars was not like that. I had a couple where they where the bouncer clearly didn't want me inside and I was told a place was closed several times when clearly they were not. It was just closed to me.

I was stuck in Turkey for 2 months, for work, a year and a half ago. I remember being told that my group could enter this club in Instanbul, and we were excited to enter, until a black guy of ours joined our group as we were walking up. Suddenly there wasn’t room in the club anymore. That shit pissed me off.

Racism instead of xenophobia, but similar lived experiences of (witnessing) discrimination I suppose.

Mate, bouncers do that all over the world.

There are all kinds of jobs here. Most common is IT-related, though, which is where I'm at.

It's a very remote place
