If you are a gaijin or at least have non-Japanese ancestry in you and want to buy some land in Japan, beware as you might not get what you want. In Japan a person buys land and not a house, if there is a house on the land its tradition that you remove/destroy the old home and build a new one lol, crazy for us in America. Well apparently a Japanese speaking and “third generation” Brazilian Japanese man wished to buy land in the Fukuroi, Shizuoka Prefecture but was “denied” by the community due to his Brazilian ancestry. The community feared it would bring “crime” in the neighborhood lol. This guy is a “third generation” that has probably lived in Japan his whole life but due to “stereotypes” of crime ridden Brazilians he had to buy land somewhere else. I thought pre-judging was pretty bad with blood-types, but this takes it to a new level that should not happen. I live in a place full of diversity which also comes with stereotypes of different cultures, funny to see when it actually happens ^-^. But I do not judge a person until I know them, I don’t think I should be judging though lol. The article is from Asahi.com.
