【海外の反応】「まさか日本でこんな扱いを受けるなんて…」韓国から出張で来た黒人男性が日本で受けた対応に驚愕！【日本のあれこれ】

I can't do business with a black person. Asia is a terrible country. Ayame's personality Hello, everyone. I'm Ayame, and I'm a personality. In countries like America, Europe, and Asia, racial discrimination still remains. In particular, black discrimination is a major social issue. This time, I'm going to introduce an episode of a black man who visited Korea and Japan on a business trip. He was very surprised at the difference in reactions between black people in both countries. Let's take a look. A black man on a business trip is amazed at the difference between Japanese and Korean nationalities. My name is Blake. I'm an American man in my 30s. I work as a food manufacturer with my wife and four-year-old daughter. As a salesman, I work hard every day to develop new products. One day, my boss asked me to go on a business trip. I want to develop new products in Asia. I want you to see Korea and Japan for the first time. I'm going to be away from America for more than two weeks. It was my first overseas business trip. To be honest, I was nervous and lonely. But he trusted me and gave me an important job. I have to do my best to meet his expectations. So I went to Korea first. The airport in Korea is much wider and cleaner than I imagined. I thought it was an advanced country in Asia. But it was so wide that I didn't know where to go. So I wandered around the airport. I decided to visit the information center nearby. Excuse me. I have a question. When I talked to the staff, they looked at me. But she looked at the other side and ignored me. Why? She should have noticed me. I was worried about my first overseas business trip. I was shocked by her response. So I left the airport on my own. I went straight to the hotel that the company arranged for me. I had a job the next day, so I put my luggage in my room. I went to the city to experience Korean food for the first time. However, the staff's hospitality was the worst. They didn't come to receive my order. And the food was put on the table silently. Yangnyeom chicken and bibimbap were all delicious. But the staff's attitude was bad. I felt that the taste of the food was halved. Koreans are so cold. I was disappointed, so I left the store. The next day, I visited the company I had worked for. I was determined to succeed in the consultation. But at that time, I finally found out the identity of the discomfort I had had since I came to Korea. I have no intention of consulting with a Korean salesman. I'm sorry, but can you take over right now? The person in charge who saw me suddenly said so. His expression and tone were calm, but his attitude was completely rejecting me. In the end, I prepared a lot of materials, but I couldn't ask him to listen to me. Yes, the discomfort I felt when I was in Korea was all due to racial discrimination. There are many races in the United States where I live, including white and Asian. But I've never seen them in a discriminatory way. On the contrary, there were times when I was treated discriminatorily because I was a black person. It was the first time I had experienced such blatant discrimination. Why is black discrimination so terrible in Korea? As soon as I returned to the hotel, I contacted my boss and wife. My boss apologized to me, saying, I can't believe there's still such black discrimination in Korea. I'm really sorry to make you feel so bad. My wife apologized. Is Asia such a terrible place? I'm sure Japan will also be discriminated against. Why don't you just go to Korea and come back to Japan? Of course, I know that not all Koreans are bad people. But when I'm in Korea, I feel like the whole country is denying me. Until now, I didn't have a bad image of Korea. I completely hated Korea. And with my wife's words, I didn't want to go to Japan. But it's my job, so I can't do anything on my own. I went to Japan without leaving any results in Korea. While I was on the plane, my heart was pounding with anxiety. I thought that terrible black discrimination was waiting for me in Japan. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep at all. It was almost like an Asian phobia. The plane that took me to Japan arrived in Japan. The airport in Japan was very large, so I was lost again. There was a staff nearby, so I thought I'd visit him. But if I was cold like I was in Korea, I felt like I couldn't get up again. As a result, I went to the hotel on my own. Fortunately, I arrived at the hotel. But I was attacked by severe abdominal pain here. I was in the lobby of the hotel, sweating too much. Then a staff came to me and called an ambulance. The result of the diagnosis at the hospital was food poisoning. It was caused by eating raw fish at a stall before leaving Korea. The moment I heard that, I thought that the image of Korea would fall to the ground and I would never go to such a country again. On the other hand, I was cold to Koreans, so I didn't expect anything from Japanese people. However, Japan's image exploded with a series of responses. Not only the hotel staff who called the ambulance, but also the doctors and nurses and other hospital staff were kind to me. They didn't care that I was a black person at all. I was relieved that they treated me as gently as Japanese patients. The abdominal pain was almost gone, but I had to postpone the diagnosis scheduled for the next day because I had to be hospitalized for two days just in case. It was a sudden situation, so the diagnosis would probably be canceled. I thought so and contacted the person in charge on the phone. Then the reaction was unexpected. What? Are you okay? You must have had a lot of anxiety because you were abroad. It must have been hard. We don't mind any diagnosis, so if you feel better, can you contact us again? Don't worry about this. First of all, please take your time to rest. Surprisingly, the person in charge took care of my condition and allowed me to change my appointment schedule. Of course, I thought the diagnosis would be canceled, so I was very surprised by this response. And I asked him what I was most curious about. Excuse me, I have a strange question. Can I consult even if I am a black person? In fact, I was refused to consult because I was a black person in Korea. Then the person in charge said, Humanity has nothing to do with consultations. We are looking forward to meeting you, so please feel free to come. Thank you. I was moved and thanked the person in charge while crying. After that, I left the hospital as planned. I got well and finally reached the day of the consultation. Oh, here it is. I was waiting for you. At the entrance of the office, several employees, including the person in charge who was in direct contact, were waiting. We finally met. How are you feeling? Nice to meet you today. Everyone greeted me with a smile while saying that. And the Japanese response was wonderful during the consultation. I thought that only the person in charge of young people would listen to me, but the chief of staff, the director, and the director-general were all in the same seat. Everyone looked at me and listened to me until the end. The director-general and the director-general, who seem to be quite old, were very low-kneed and treated me equally. On top of that, they were interested in the materials I prepared and read them in detail. They were also polite when asking questions. Everyone praised me for the products I tried. In addition, thanks to the fact that the director-general was in the same seat, the conversation went on for a long time and a contract was established on the spot. They didn't say anything like, I can't trust you because you're a black person, and they were sincere until the end. And at the end of the consultation, everyone bowed deeply and thanked me for coming all the way from far away. I wondered how sincere the Japanese were to thank me for coming all the way from America. By the way, there was a white employee in the company, but I was surprised at how he treated me as a black person. The first time I talked to him was when I borrowed a toilet after the consultation. Hello, are you American too? Yes, well, I came from New York on my first overseas business trip. I see. Japan is a good place. Please enjoy your first time in Japan while you're at work. He's been living in Japan since he was a kid. Japan has a wonderful culture that treats everyone equally, regardless of their nationality or gender. In America, it's better than it used to be, but there are still people who are white market-oriented. Some people look down on black people who don't do anything wrong because they're black. But this company doesn't have that kind of atmosphere. I thought that if I grew up in an environment like Japan, there would be no concept of treating people equally, so I would be treated the same way as a black person. And when I tried to say goodbye to the person in charge who came to see me off to the entrance, Um, if you have time tonight, why don't we have dinner together? There's a delicious Japanese restaurant. I think we'll be together for a long time. He even invited me to dinner. I've been eating alone while I've been in Korea, so I never thought I'd be able to eat with someone. I was very happy. That night, the person in charge took me to a small seafood izakaya. The sashimi and sake here are the best. He said. What? Sashimi? Hearing that, the first thing that came to my mind was the raw fish I ate at a Korean stall. Since then, I've had a resistance to eating raw fish. But I can't ignore his kindness. I took the courage to eat the sashimi he gave me. It's delicious! It's fresh just by eating a bite. Unlike the raw fish I ate in Korea, it looks good and has a glossy surface. And other fish dishes such as grilled fish and fried fish are also excellent. It was the first time I had such a delicious fish. The alcohol went down, and I was in perfect harmony with the person in charge. It was around 7 p.m. when I arrived, but it was past 10 p.m. when I left the store. When I got back to the hotel, I contacted my wife in a good mood. Japan and Korea were completely different. Even if it was a joke, black discrimination was not done, and the contract went well. Japan is the best! I'm glad I came to Japan. That's good. I was very worried about Korea. If it's such a wonderful country, I'd like to go there next time. My wife gladly listened to me. After the business trip, I returned to America. But for a while, I couldn't get rid of the beauty of Japan. There are a lot of foreigners living in Japan, but I can understand why they want to live in Japan. I think that only Japanese people can have equal access to people without judging them by their skin color. If people all over the world become like Japanese people, racial discrimination may disappear from this world. Overseas reaction The biggest worry I had when I came to Japan was the police. I heard they were coming to check all the foreign people's credit cards. But I passed by several police officers in Japan, but there were no scary police officers trying to check my credit card. On the contrary, I was surprised that they smiled at me and greeted me. For Japanese people, skin color is not important. I think Japan is a country that is involved in race, religion, and ideology. I'm a black American, and I just returned from Japan. It's been a long time since I've lived in America, and I miss the sense of security when I was in Japan. America is said to be a free country, but I feel that Japan is a much freer country. In summary, I was moved by the response in Japan. I feel a little happy when I listen to the story. I want to continue to recognize the values of each other without discrimination, and not forget the Japanese spirit of having compassion for each other. How was it?
