I have a friend who is full white and grew up in Japan. She was talking about her experiences growing up and being born in Japan. Japan was all she knew until recently coming to the overseas college I met her at. She talked about how sometimes others growing up would talk condescending to her, but she said she had a decent school life and was basically popular too, due to her being very involved and smart in class. I was very interested in her experiences, and we talked about it. I usually hear some very negative experiences of non-Japanese in Japan who were born and raised there. We thought it would be interesting to hear from other’s experiences online growing up as a foreigner to many Japanese, so please share!
