こんにちは guys ..
I'm Arab too and I'd like to know what Japanese think of us .. Actually I'm fed up with stereotypes and I'd like to see for once someone who actually knows the true image of Arabs ..
BTW Frank D. White san, u forgot to mention terrorists .. lol
Arabs aren't hated, as long as I feel, but I think Japanese fear them. Some are refused accomodations (this case became very popular 2 years ago in my university), some universities don't accept them ( I heard a man has been asked if he is too religious, by the head of the department).
However, the tendency is to integrate these people. Some of the bigger universities offer halal food, try to provide space for prayer, to popularize Middle Eastern culture, to show the ordinary peple that they don't have to fear.
Wanna walk like a normal human being again
Fear em = wow, what can we do?!?!?!
Asking if your to religious, lol, well I can understand them in a sense, that they think of some Arabs as some terrorists, but that’s not even close to 1% of the Arabs :P,, well lucky me I don’t look like an Arab so they don’t need to fear me anyway
Which universities? I've never heard of it.
It's all up to you if you tell us the names or not, though...
Public assembly of Arabic people was banned in Japan some time ago (it may not be now), for some mysterious reasons such that they were worrisome to the locals, or that perhaps they were 'harassing' the women. This is cited from John Lie's book, "Multi-Ethnic Japan".
But to the original poster, how do you honestly expect people to answer your question? My guess is that you'll take a few isolated posts and form your opinion on that--- is that really answering your question?
For a nation that is 99% Japanese, and 1% foreign, you figure it out. There will always be some suspicious people, but I've never heard of any sort of specific agenda for or against Arabic people...
Sorry, I have reasons to keep my privacy.
See my thread about the article in Mainichi in "waiwai line"
Which thread are you refering to?
I did not ask you about the name of your university, just tell me some universities except yours.
I don't think free speech and telling a lie is the same, though the difference is quite close to each other.
I guess you mean this thread;
Just found that on Mainichi's English page
Unfortunately the article of Mainichi Daily News you're referring in the thread seems to have been either deleted or moved.
If I remember correctly, the article undrentide mentions is about the crime by the famous Carr.
Still waiting for taehyun's kind direction.
well I just want to know what the Japanese people think of Arabs in general, not what they know of them. Sure there are some people that hate them or love them. But what I am trying to do is to form a general opinion, even tough that’s not to easy. I don’t take the words of one poster rather I collect the information of several posters and form an opinion
Second hand information on questions that are entirely generalized in the first place is proably not a good thing to base an opinion on.
In the United States, we have had noticeable struggles between the Black & White communities, regarding racism, more so than I think that you can say there has been any notable struggle between the Japanese and Arabic peoples, but I still wouldn't be able to answer the question, "What do white people think of Black people?"... Everybody is different, expect SOME form of predudice in Japan, as I said, all outsiders are suspicious, even those who are themselves Japanese who come from other prefectures....
Don't let fear of ostracism keep you away from Japan--- Ostracism is sometimes just a part of Japan where family, prefectural, racial and cultural ties are deeply ingrained & linked.
What do the Japanese think about questions generalizing the Japanese?
Now thats a question!

A book under the title of sekaino nihonjin joke shu, ethinc jokes about Japanese around the world, sells well now.
A person with critical thinking might loudly say "this is a typical Japaneseness, Japanese doesn't know anything outside Japan, therefore it sells well", though many Japanese find it just a fun to read.
Ok then,
Your persistence is scaring
Unless I know that you won't run after me on the net and start calling here and there (from where you of course will receive a negative answer), I won7t give any information.
Why were you so persistent to have the letter of the stalker on the internet.How were you going to use it?
You're scaring me!
Haha...
I don't know what others think, but I often find questions generalizing the Japanese frustrating and annoying, though it really depends on how the question is asked.
Actually I am so scared if your story were true at all.
All I wanted to say is
Don't worry, I like generalisation and I don't think Japan is perfect at all.
How can you LOOK like an Arab ??.. I don't think it's that general. Arabs too belong to different ethnicities; i.e Arabs of the Arab Gulf are different from Arabs of the Mediterranean countries and from the African Arabs .. etc .. the only way to differentiate is through language and culture and I don't think that would be directly obvious ..well lucky me I don’t look like an Arab so they don’t need to fear me anyway
You're talking to someone who posted a thread entitled "Whats [sic] the Japanese peoples [sic] opinion of..." Can you really expect such a person to know anything about Arabs?

I think they may well be treated no different than any other foreigner as in Japan, a foreigner is a foreigner no matter where he/she comes from and will probably be thought of as American or European anyway.
In time perhaps, we will get an answer from one or two Japanese people who will share their thoughts of what the Japanese think or one or two people from the Middle East who will share their experiences living in Japan.
Until then maybe you should post this question in Japanese on a forum where there are mainly Japanese people posting. I think you'd get a more precise answer as I doubt you are going to get a clear answer on a forum that has mostly foreigners posting.

Hey, here is an another Japanese.
Generally Japanese don't hate Arabs. At least we don't think that Arabs neary = terrorists. We have rather good feelings for them. In Japan both Christians and Muslims are minority, and most of people don't care about other's religion.
Talking about Middle-East conflict, I think that Japanese are sympathetic to Arab people. Japan often supports USA-Israel side politically, we just do it for our national interest. It's right, we know. But many Japanese have bad feelings about that.
What do you think of Obadiah Shoher's views on the Middle East conflict? One can argue, of course, that Shoher is ultra-right, but his followers are far from being a marginal group. Also, he rejects Jewish moralistic reasoning - that's alone is highly unusual for the Israeli right. And he is very influential here in Israel. So what do you think?
