Its really annoying for us non-japanese living in Japan. It's actually kind of disturbing because Japanese people are usually not political and don't voice their opinions. But with with the end of COVID and the influx of foreign workers and tourists the last few years I see Japanese resentment increasing like crazy. Social media is flooded with Japanese complaining about foreigners. And the more extreme are attacking even Japanese citizens of Korean, Chinese etc ancestry. Literally "ethnic Japanese first". They use us foreigners as a scapegoat for everything but it's just a fact that Japan is getting poor because of its own decisions. They say foreigners are taking Japanese jobs but if they kicked out all the foreign workers the Japanese economy would implode over night. I hate these idiots like you wouldn't believe

Japanese version of MAGA populism is threatening us foreigners. AMA
