The level of racism in Japan never ceases to amaze me.

The Japanese go farther and designate occupations for the lesser races.  No pure blood can be an undertaker, plumber, garbage collector, etc.-- those jobs are for the servant races.

It seems to work. I mean, nobody's ever yet managed to stage any sort of a successful demographic coupe against the Japanese in their own land and they've apparently had 13,000 years to try it. It'd be nice if we could say the same thing...

Also aren't Pachinko halls the exclusive realm of the Koreans in Japan? When I went to Japan years ago I seem to recall that was the case.

(Talk about sensory overload in one of those places)

I believe that the same patterns exist in India. A young man who has done construction work for us has been doing a job for an Indian doctor who has over the weeks been very rude to him and now is trying to stiff him for $3000.00. I warned Tyler to keep good records. We’ll see.
