One of my friends was going to go to Japan before the pandemic hit and all the borders shut down. I’m happy he didn’t get to go because I’m 99% sure he would have been treated poorly because he’s black. It would have really upset him. I wouldn’t be caught dead in any East Asian country TBH. I get enough racism at home.
If he does go, get him a shirt charging $X for selfies (in Japanese). Apparently, taking pictures with/of tall and/or black tourists is a pretty common thing.
