I was on a forum recently when the conversation turned to The Holocaust, and a young Japanese man (17-years-old) said that Jews and Roma (Gypsies) were killed by the Nazis because they were stupid and racially inferior. I said they were killed because the Nazis THOUGHT they were stupid and racially inferior.
Although he totally didn't agree with Hitler, he insisted that Jews and Roma were actually racially inferior and stupid. I'm Jewish on my father's side, so I was a bit pissed off and we had quite a long argument, lol.
Anyway, I've also heard that the Japanese are often casually Racist to black people, because the Japanese are so unused to them. Do the Japanese commonly hold these views, or was it just a one-off incident with a jerk?
Thanks very much for your time! Happy New Year! :)
