Assumptions made about people instead of information coming from the people they are talking about

Whrn I was on reddit I saw this alot on reddit with foreign companies and was reading a thread where someone asked if people in Japan where racist

It was filled with people saying yes but something about the thread felt ungeniune so I went on the japanlife subreddit about this topic and they haven’t experienced racism and that most of it is misunderstandings and not understanding the people

I also went to watch those videos on YouTube where people from Japan interview Japanese people and most Japanese people where not racist and it was only the rare occasional one that was but they where older people and they where in the single digits range so japan just has a few racist people like every other country and most people are open

Its typically the younger generations that are more open and I tend to see that it’s the younger generations that are open in every country so I think we are just waiting for the old bigots to turn over and die

It’s best just to get information about a people from the people itself instead of looking at random people’s opinions online
