Are Japanese People Racist?

In the first ever episode of the Tokyo lens podcast, I came to address the question as to whether or not Japan in Japanese people are racist. This is a question that has come up several times during my time in Japan and has even appeared on the Tokyo lens YouTube Q&A section. I hope to address this from several angles today in some detail. If you have any other questions or would like some follow up on this particular topic please search for Tokyo lens on YouTube and leave a comment on one of my Q&A. Or you can also find me on Twitter at @Tokyo_Lens. www.YouTube.com/TokyoLens
