I really adore Japanese culture, and I have been there a few times.....
My friend told me that Japanese people really look down upon Mainland Chinese, because Chinese people have dirty habits....
They like to cough and sneeze without covering their mouthes....
I am a Taiwanese, and I'd like to know if Japanese people really accept Taiwanese people as their own people..........
I know Japanese people don't like foreign people, but Japan has colonized Taiwan for 50 years in the past, they forced us to speak Japanese, to learn Japanese culture...
I also look Japanese in my physical appearance, so I guess I might have some Japanese blood in my blood line..
My grandfather and grandmother know how to speak in Japanese...^^
and I just like to know, do Japanese people take Taiwanese people as their own people??
I'm not Japanese, but I've lived in Japan for about a year now. From my observations, the long and short of it would be 'no.' Japanese are quick to accuse foreigners, including Thai, of being theives and criminals. At best you'll be a curiousity. Most Japanese have an innate sense of superiority without actually realizing it.
Japan's an okay country. But you'll never be Japanese. That's reserved for the natives only.

No we don't, to be honest. You are Chinese as far as we are concerned. The fact that the Taiwanese were once subjects is irrelevent, same goes for the Koreans.
There's no point in calling him a stupid fa g. He's just trolling forums.
Edit: You're not welcome. Go away.

Re: I have a serious question to Japanese people....
The funny thing is that Taiwanese people - especially teenagers - copy so many things from Japanese culture.
Also, many Taiwanese people share this same sense of 'superiority' to foreign residents living in Taiwan. This discrimination is especially felt by Thai, Filipino and Vietnamese people who are generally treated very poorly as if they are second class citizens simply because they have darker skin.
As for the treatment of foreigners from Western countries, Taiwanese people are generally polite, welcoming and friendly on an initial level, but there is also a degree of discrimination under this surface level. I think this idea of 'superiority' is common in many nations which are economically prosperous, but pretty segregated culturally. It's certainly true in many Asian countries.

Re: Re: I have a serious question to Japanese people....
I am not Japanese. I have read about their behavior and have had others warn me of them, from all races. I find this sad. I know that some races claim they are created from a dragon, others from a star (the African dogans??) and others come from God...and there are so many theories about race and "alien" races within each race of people. These are so much fun to read, but can offer an explanation on why some feel so superior to others within their same ethnic background.
Well, the only person out of Japan that I respect and know (via reading about him) is Dr. Mikao Usui Founder of Reiki.
I know (via reading) many Chinese in history that I respect, but I generally do not respect their entire philosophy, but bits and pieces, if they are too much into the black occult/dragon or too persuaded into one aspect that I find negative, I tend to part ways with their philosophy.
