Will Japanese massacre foreigners if a major earthquake hits Tokyo again ?

If you really believe that, you need to get yourself out of Japan, NOW. You don't belong there. Before you accuse the Japanese of racism, look at your own country.

The U.S. has had the Ku Klux Klan, public lynchings, slave auctions, etc. but most Americans are confident that those days are over for good.

Not everybody on this forum comes from intolerant, racist, white supremist USA. Look at the UK for example, where else can you find more refined, sophisticated and educated people as say, Oxford :



For those who didn't understand, I was just kidding

i would rather say, a bunch of hippies took the opportunity of vietnam:

to booze and trip a good while. 1923 the earthquake, 1968 the "woodstock festival"

america sees now, this lays thirty/fourty years in the past. i do not have the impression, they hate vietnam. all they feel occurs as compassion.

there were no winners of that war.

if you go backwards:

kennedy (1962)
nixon
eisenhower
2nd world war (1937)

and, who remembers 1923? old man?

what happens in case of another serious earthquake?

i dont see japanese would actively add to the victims of that.

and, foreign group would leave on own device, probably.

or, like in case of the tsunami, help and donate to rebuild everything...

really, how many westerners got slayed by the tsunami people?

i wonder...this really happened (on television)- why superimpose/imagine another catastrophe so soon?

sorry for this somehow necrophile contribution-

just to say, some japanese are civilized.

if i read this thread i say (wearing glasses) "this occurs uncanny to me"

I hate to say this but, Maciamo, you are an *******.
Why do you manage this site?
Judging by your work, obviously you hate Japan and Japanese.

Wow... you probably know a lot about Japan, and you are probably a nice guy, but having only 9 posts, and not knowing Maciamo that good, I don't think you have any rights *respect rights* to say this.

[pipokun]

the point is that the thread started after the terrible hanshin-awaji and niigata earthquakes.

*off-topic*
if maciamo were really a cruel devil's advocate as he sometimes describe himself, he must have posted more frustrated posts against japan or japanese in the french section here.

Do remember that this was a while back and Japanese people have changed their views on foreigners. But if there ever was an attack I would say it would be on the Koreans. I've heard that many Japanese people don't like Koreans so that would be my guess. Just heard that. But in likely hood I don't think this would ever happen. I also agree with another member. Im 6"5. Nobodys gonna mess with me.

Those days are just around the corner. If the US has a major national catastrophe, such as a stock market crash and food shortage, expect to see the different communities (that are usually self-segregated) start turning against one another.

The idea that an earthquake that impacts just Tokyo is far fetched, but if there is harbored resentment or tension (like the US has) than a massive disaster followed by a crushed economy could lead toward people looking for a scapegoat. But it would have to take the ripple effect of jobless and poverty.
