Sweetie, not all of them are--like you said. They just want to be the best in technology (and I have to admit that they are) and want to be world famous for it. God created man, and the devil made us imperfect (with the help of Adam and Eve of course). Ignorance is just one of the many problems humans face every day. :) |

Why "r" you so prejudiced? What a staggeringly ignorant premise. If anything, your follow-up question is even worse than the abysmal opener. So I'm guessing by your reference to "most" you mean that of the three Japanese girls who rightly rejected you when you asked them out, two ran away in horror while the other one just backed away slowly, right? Good grief.
I really shouldn't waste any more of my time with you but in the interest of public service I'll try to enlighten you a bit. I've lived in Japan for two years of my life and I can tell you that your premise is as absurd as it is offensive. Without generalizing too much, I can tell you that the Japanese people are some of the warmest, friendliest and most approachable people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They are polite and civilized to a fault. The only personailty trait that could possibly be confused with arrogance is diffidence. They do tend to be somewhat shy in social situations, particularly the young women. A warm smile and a few laughs will put them at ease. But I don't even know why I'm bothering to explain this to you. You're obviously lacking in social skills and your racist line of questioning strongly suggests preconceived notions and inbred prejudice against an entire race of people. Pathetic.
In conclusion, you will find good and bad, friendly and hostile, approachable and arrogant, literally anywhere you find human beings. To make a ridiculously broad statement about an entire nation of people based upon your own (doubtless incredibly limited) negative experience is patently absurd and extremely ignorant. Such views of people and the larger world are the very foundation of all forms of racism, intolerance and prejudice. It is disgraceful and I am sincerely embarrassed for you. My heartfelt apologies to the people of Japan as well as any persons of Japanese descent who have the misfortune to read this contemptible question. |

Japanese people are very nice and gentle!

They are honest and hard working.
They are meticulous and dedicated to whatever they do.

♡Oh my! I was surprised to read your Q. I think perhaps you may have the Japanese confused with someone else? I'm American and have lived in Japan 8 years and have never met a stuck-up or arrogant Japanese person. I think perhaps you may misconceive Japanese people being shy, quiet, and very polite as stuck-up and arrogant. Japanese feel that perhaps they cannot communicate perfectly with foreigners so they choose to communicate only what they are certain of or remain silent so as not to cause a misunderstanding. Once they know you and feel confident communicating they are the most helpful, kind and respectful people. Perhaps you should come to Japan and "home-stay" Catnip. I think when you leave you may have a different opinion! By the way, you must know a lot of people if you know "most of them".♡ |

They're NOT! You may have a down on them because a 'crowd' of them beat up your friend, but that doesn't prove anything! All it proves is that schoolkids of ALL nationalities are nasty little beggars who have NO consideration for anyone Else's feelings - not ALL schoolkids perhaps, but ALL nationalities!
If people seem aloof to you it's probably either that they don't understand what you're saying, so they don't know how to respond, or that they think YOU are stuck up and arrogant - and they find that repellent. : |
The Japanese in general are very ceremonial with strangers, so they will act in what you consider to be an abnormal way when they are only trying to show you respect. Yes, it can be off-putting, but it's harmless - unlike racism. |

i think every one percieves people in different ways. I believe different cultures are taught certain ways to respect others and themselves.
what you may percieve to be stuck up and arrogant, could possibly be a way of respect towards you.
i have found that if you just smile, that others will smile too, its kinda contagious . go towork and see what happens. |

I have not met many Japanese people. I feel most of them are extremely friedly and a bit shy. Except when they are wearing a business suit. |

I spent two years in Japan and never met a stuck up person. I wish I could go two years here in America and say the same thing. |

.. you know some one said that to me just the other day ... i was "floored". i've always found japanese people very polite and meek to a fault... but of course neither is true about the entire race .. i can say , though ive met maney japanese i have never had a close or long relationship w/ any .. but i'm sure that is because i speak no japanese and the people i have met spoke very little english.. |

I wouldn't say most. Bad stereotype.
People are people. Right? You got your nice people. Smart people. Sweet people. Attractive people. Funny people. And then you have your stuck up and arrogant people. It is a way of life no matter where you are. |

I have found them all to be very nice. maybe you don't understand their culture and are misinterpreting their actions or are you North Korean because that could also be your problem. |

they are not.. they just seem that way.
They happen to be the most depressed and suicidal people on the planet. See what you feel like after a 18 hr work day. |

I have recently returned from Japan and found them really charming and helpful people. They helped me numerous times with directions and other things. If you dropped money then three people would bend down and pick it up to give it back, as opposed to in London (I come from London) where they would pick it and run for it. I didn't meet any arrogant or stuck up Japanese while I was there. |
