最近、WhyNot!? 国際交流コミュニティサイト
アジア人の顔をしたアメリカ人・カナダ人などが日本のクラブ・バーで不愉快な思いをしているという書き込み。
日本は単一民族なので、ほとんどの日本人は日本人（アジア人）顔を持っています。
でも、世界はそうではありません。
たとえば、アジア人の顔をしたアメリカ人・カナダ人etc...は世界にはたくさんいます。
WhyNot!?に書き込み内容によると、アジア人の顔をした欧米人が日本のクラブやパーティーで普通に英語だけを話していると、日本語が分かるのに英語だけをわざと話しているとよく言われ不愉快な思いをし、差別されたと感じているそうです。同じような経験の人が結構いるみたいで掲示板が結構盛り上がっていました。
私は、日本人は“差別”しているわけではなく、ただ“無知”なだけだと思います。
世界にはアジア人の顔をして英語しか話せない人がたくさんいるのに。。。

【外国人のエピソード1】
I'm Korean American. Here's my story: One day, I went to an international party with two American friends.
To be precise, they're Spanish American and Italian American. Then some Japanese girls started to talk to us.
As usual, their first question was, "Where are you guys from?" We all said, "We are from America."
Then the situation became pretty embarrassing because they all looked at me and wondered why I was American.
After that, they started to ask me questions about my family and other annoying stuff like that.
I was finally called Korean American by them. Yes, I am Korean American,
but why didn't they call my friends Spanish American and Italian American?
Why didn't they ask my friends the same annoying questions? Before I came to Japan, I'd spent my whole life in the US.
they looked at me differently. If you don't call this racism, tell me what I should call it!?
【外国人のエピソード2】
I have been asked so many stupid questions simply because I'm Taiwanese Canadian.
Here is a typical conversation that has happened repeatedly:
JF: Where are you from?
JF: Oh, why? You look Asian.
Me: Yeah, but I'm Canadian.
JF: Why? Are you half?
Me: No, I'm not.
JF: So, why are you Canadian?
Me: Well, my parents are Taiwanese.
JF: So, you are half Canadian and half Taiwanese? Ni-hao!
Me: No no no, both my mom and dad are Taiwanese. But I'm not half. I'm just Canadian!
JF: ... (Complete silence. Wondering what the heck I'm talking about.)
Me: ... (I really want to ask her WHY she's Japanese! But I know it's rude to do so. Then I simply walk away.)
I've kind of got used to this kind of situation, but I still feel uncomfortable every time. Has anyone had a similar experience?
【外国人のエピソード3】
Same here. I'm also Asian Canadian, and the typical conversation that the guy mentioned above has happened so many times, too.
A long time ago, I met a new female Japanese friend and she kept looking at me because I didn't fit her stereotype of Canadian.
We talked in Japanese for a while. Because of my intermediate Japanese level, she kept saying that
I was lying to her and she claimed that I was Japanese who was "pretending" to be Canadian.
What the heck was that? Does anyone have a similar experience?
Back home, we could have brought this to a court!
