    Was playing the Yakuza games recently and was curious to the actual history of the organization. Learned some stuff about Japan in general along the way. Yikes. I wouldn’t say he is wrong on this one either.

      He’s definitely not. They’re something like 97 percent plus “pure” there. Also discriminating against foreigners is perfectly legal and common anywhere not in a tourist area.

        I seen some crazy videos on tiktok. Seems like certain younger Japanese play a harassment game trying to taunt foreigners to lay hands on them.

          Yea cause the guvment is more likely to trust locals. That said, I spent a couple weeks there last year and it was great. I’m definitely going back in the near future.

      They actually touch on this in Like A Dragon. One of your party members is a Korean Mafia member, who specifically fell in with the Korean Mafia because Koreans were (and generally still are) completely unable to attain citizenship - even if their family was transported to Japan against their will during WWII.
