      I’m not sure if xenophobia and racism are the same thing. Japan seems like “we don’t want you here because you don’t understand how to navigate our culture”.

        Imo, xenophobia is the innate fear of foreign-looking people. Racism is what happens you rationalize xenophobia rather than fighting it.
