No it doesn't

Why is Japan obligated to tell stories about other cultures? Let those cultures tell their own stories. They're not entitled to attention from Japanese audiences.
>>21783349>usYWNBJ
>>21783345No, because Korea would throw a shitfit over it. And they would find out because Korea voraciously consumes Japanese media. That's why any time a story is set during the late Meiji / Taisho / early Showa eras they are careful to never directly talk about the annexation of Korea. I've seen manga, light novels, and anime talk about the Japanese empire occupying mainland China and various SEA nations, but never Korea.
>>21783345>Is there really no manga or novel about the japanese invasion of korea?Does GATE count?There's probably a landfall of yen waiting for romantic comedy that takes place during the Japanese liber...
>>21783323Literally because they only know about countries that actually did something during WW2. Silly I know.
>>21783323You mean like Orb airing right now?
>>217833231. There are like no anime about Russia, what are you talking about? 2. Why did you cut out that thing from UK? 3. China? Name one show about it.4. France+Germany+UK+Italy is where 99% of human history happened so... yeah. Also Jojo SC p2 they go to Egypt. And besides, if we consider all animes - 99% of it happens in Japan anyway
>>21783352I didn't imply I was Japanese, I only implied that I was in one of the red countries.
>>21783353>No, because Korea would throw a shitfit over it.I'll never understand why Koreans are this obsessed that they lost twice to wokou. Contrast that the Last Samurai is the 22nd highest grossing movie of all time in Japan (for example). If you're that upset, just ignore Japanese media and consume your own.
>>21783341They don't have the money to make anime and manga. All they have is good source material.
>>21783349Does Sardinia really have a "rich history and culture " equivalent to Japan?
>>21783361That's hardly a sensible comparison given the differences in size. If you include Sardinia as part of the broader Italian/Roman cultural group then they would by extension have a richer history and culture.
>>21783334Fun fact: Japan’s first "shounen manga/light novel", which inspired Dragon Ball, is actually set in India, referred to as Tenjiku (天竺).

>>21783359You have to understand the mindset of a weak nation like Korea that has historically been under the thumb of its more powerful neighbors. Koreans have never had a great empire like China, nor do they have a storied warrior culture like the Japanese. Koreans have to grasp for significance, for things to be proud of, because for them it's not just a matter of pride, it's about justifying their independence and sovereignty from those neighbors who have repeatedly subjugated them. Korea very nearly ceased to exist at the start of the 20th century. Japan did not merely occupy the peninsula, they annexed it. They fully intended to make Korea a part of Japan, not merely to occupy it and force its local leadership to cooperate with the "Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere" as was the case with most of the territory the Japanese Empire occupied. So for Korea, any sort of glamorization or glorification of the Japanese Empire is seen as an existential threat. Even if the Japanese aren't serious about it (and basically none of them are serious about it, these days, besides nationalist cranks online) the Koreans can't afford to be lax about it. They almost ceased to exist barely 100 years ago.

>>21783343Akatsuki no Yona is a Japanese work set in fantasy ancient Korea
>>21783368>Akatsuki no YonaThanks! I learned of one.
>>21783357Even if there's few shows set in Russia I feel like Russkies show up fairly often in anime, enough that an "anime Slav" has become a stereotypical look.
>>21783323>japan>rich historyoh no no noHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>21783371Yeah, that surprised me. They didn't even have a civilization before 500 CE. Sure, it's better than Muttland, but that doesn't mean much.
>>21783370Russia is a next door neighbor for Japan. It's not uncommon for Japanese people to visit since it's like a two hour flight from Tokyo to Vladivostok. Russians are probably the westerners they see the most of.
>>21783357>3. China? Name one show about it.Aren't there a few series about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?I also remember a show called Saiunkoku Monogatari that was set in fantasy China so I dunno if it counts

>>21783323Magi?>>21783334Emma?
>>21783366I'm familiar with what you wrote but I still can't understand because thousands of countries got annexed during the past 200 years (see the formation of Germany, India or Napoleon destroying the Republic of Venice).You don't see Venetians this insecure. Plenty of regional ethnicities in France lost their identity and language and became French as well. Baekje doesn't exist today either--but their descendants lived on as part of the ancestors of Japan and (largely) were absorbed by what became modern Korea.That still doesn't explain the hyper obsession with consuming Japanese media for any negative mention of Korea though.
>>21783357Ireland is no longer a part of the UK>France+Germany+UK+Italy is where 99% of human history happenedSpain, Portugal, and some of the other European countries also had massive empires at one point but Japan only knows about the last few centuries. There's also Greece which was the birthplace of philosophy and Turkey which was the Eastern Roman Empire. Europe is more than 4 countries.
>>21783374>Russians are probably the westernersI don't believe this is a correct statement. Russia was influence by the west/Europe but they are their own thing.
>>21783380It's because those small European enclaves were totally annexed that they're not insecure. Korea wasn't. Korea was restored to independence entirely by the nascent UN's charity, only to almost immediately fall to a communist revolution backed by their neighbors. South Korea today only exists because the United States wills it to exist. If the US decided to withdraw all military support for South Korea, it would cease to exist within a month.
>>21783382Yeah I felt weird about calling them "westerners" because they're usually not included in that grouping, but relative to Japan, they are "westerners".
>>21783377>girls in track suitswould /a/ be okay with it?

>>21783383>South Korea today only exists because the United States wills it to exist. If the US decided to withdraw all military support for South Korea, it would cease to exist within a month.Ah I think I get it now. America is MC-kun and Japan is the tsundere heroine we're obsessed with and Korea is the designated blue-haired makeine that shows up 2/3rds of the way into the story.
If their history and culture was actually interesting they wouldn't be obsessed with validation from Japan-senpai noticing them (and the same with Hollywood)
>>21783387It's mostly fantasy Brazil but also has a bunch of stuff from other Latin American countries mixed in
>>21783389It's more like Korea is the jobber who gets BTFO by the villain and only lives because the MC shows up and spares him, but instead of being grateful he is seething at his humiliation and weakness and insists he could have won, due to his pride. South Korea clings to pride because without it they'd just be a vassal to the United States, as they were a vassal to China or Japan or the Mongols etc throughout history. Pride is literally the only justification they have for not applying to be formally adopted as a US Territory.
>>21783387Like how Samurai Champloo is a pastiche of Edo period Japan, not set in any particular year, Michiko and Hacchin is vague about where exactly it's set in South America. Watanabe likes those kind of vague settings.
>>21783343There zainichi in In This Corner of the World. At the very end of the movie when Japan surrenders you see Korean flags flying. Weird though that's all I can think of considering it's the nearest nation to Japan.
>>21783394>There zainichi in In This Corner of the WorldThank you. I am now up to two anime.
>>21783377But /a/ told me that China didn't look nice? What's so wrong with this?
>>21783323There's a show based on Poland going on this season. There are a few based in Finland.
>>21783341There are tons of Latin American faux-manga and webcomics. But most are shitty.
>>21783397>There are a few based in Finland.Someone posted a top 100 Finish anime characters list the other day and I was amazed but there are, in fact, over a 100 Finish or half Finish anime characters.
>>21783323There are a few anime/manga set in Mexico and other that use mexican culture.
>>21783323>Why can't Japan write stories that aren't based on one of these countries?From one franchise alone:Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) is basically World War 2 in space, while simultaneously taking place all over the world with Brazil being a significant point in the journey.Mobile Suit V Gundam is primarily set around Central and Eastern Europe, with the majority of its non-Spacenoid cast being Czech or some form of Germanic.Gundam 00 is about American interventionalism in Afghanistan.Gundam ZZ has an entire stretch of the narrative set in Africa. Gundam 0083 starts in Australia.
>>21783398>Latin AmericanIt's either Mexico or Brazil. No one cares about the others.
>>21783343There is no way there is not at least 1 k-pop themed LN or something
>>21783357>China? Name one show about it.Dragon BallThe main cast in Dragon Ball is Chinese
>>21783323Like 99% of the countries in the world are terrible settings for anime that feel soulless and uncanny >USAjust look at Class of 09 if you want to see what that's like>Muh Poland, Finland, Brazil, shithole etcDisgusting The only places that are ok settings for anime are East Asian countries (China, Korea, SEA) or historic settings.
>>21783399There's a somewhat mutual weird fascination with one another. My local mall actually has signs in Japanese.
>>21783403Why k-pop when idols exist?
>>21783407I don't really care for either but I assume there is minutiae that k-popfags really like over idolfag shit
>>21783334Here's your India, bro. Fairly accurate to the mythology, history and architecture, too. Even down to the clothing, artefacts and jewellery.>Pic features Arjuna Gāṇḍīvadhārī (one of his many titles) from the Kuru Mahājanapada (Kingdom) of Ancient India.>In the design featured in the pic which seems to be inspired by the Javanese interpretation of the Mahābhārata, Arjuna wears his distinguished attire which consists of a dress made of the Limarsawo Cloth, the Candrakānta (Moonstone) Necklace and the Minangkara Armlets. It should be noted that most of the names of these ornaments are in Javanese, not Sanskrit.>In his left arm, he wields the Divine Bow Gāṇḍīva, a celestial weapon originally crafted by Brahmā, the Creator God of the Hindu Trinity, and later bestowed upon him by Agni, the god of fire, and Varuṇa, the god of water. This legendary bow, renowned for its immense power and indestructibility, is said to be capable of killing even the gods.>He stands in what appears to be the legendary Maya Sabha, the enigmatic palace crafted by the Asura architect Maya for the Pandavas in Indraprastha, the capital of Pandava-ruled Kuru. Legends say that its floors appeared like ponds, and ponds appeared like floors, creating illusions that bewildered visitors. Gods and men alike envied the grandeur of the Pandavas’ residence.>The architecture of the Maya Sabha appears to incorporate Torana-style arched gateways and Gandhāran-style Indo-Greek sculptures, evident in the intricate folds of the clothing and the serene expressions of the deities, which exude a sense of divinity and timelessness.I’m genuinely impressed by the level of detail the Japanese captured in the Fate/Grand Order Memorial Movie 2023.
>>21783409And here's another pic for a closer look at Arjuna's Candrakānta (Moonstone) Necklace.
>>21783376>American is triggered

>>21783323cultures outside of the red regions are irrelevant
Nips of today has just completely lost an apathy to the rest of the world, well aside from Korea, but that all stems to their K-pop, drama and beauty products.
>>21783349atleast for Europe:they have in the past. they no longer produce modern pop media to the great extent of japs or americans but there is a lot there if you seek it out. a lot of it is probably not translated to english however
>>21783412It depends if you want a series that exclusively take place there or are part of a road trip of sorts
>>21783407>>21783408Korean idols have been popular in Japan since the 2000s.

>>21783423>ironically enough americans and anglophones are by far the most xenophobic group of peopleThis is just objectively wrong. There's no better country to prosper as a foreigner and be welcomed than an Anglo country.
>>21783323Why do africans and mexicans not want to make stories about their own history, mythology and culture? Even the indians have their own entertainment industry.
>>21783323there are stories that happen in Romania because of Transylvania and vampires
>>21783323Mixing it up now, I see. Did you get warned for posting “why are most anime set in Japan???” for the 200th time? Fucking retard.

>>21783323Add Spain to that(And every country that JoJo Part 3 showed)Anyway, Japan doesn't even need to write anything set out of Japan, why would they write about some shithole just for the sake of it? Some Manga attempt just that and don't end up as popular because most people don't know about most countries on Earth nor find them any more interesting than any of the red countries. Just ask Americans, most probably don't even know many of the red ones.t. gray country knower>>21783432Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu, set in fictional USSR

>>21783425anglos are incapable of not lying>>21783443anglos, but of a different variety
>>21783405Goddamnit do I have to listen to that again?
>>21783442Better propaganda. They don't even need even need to show off for retarded westerners to glorify them.
>>21783422>There really hasn't been anything based on Canada or even remotely anything connecting to it by now?What the FUCK would they make it about? Buying property?
>>21783423This is not true. Anglos are subhumans, yes, but they are generally less xenophobic compared to many other countries.They're very good at stealing cultures and artefacts. Look how the Bongs made Chicken Tikka Masala their national dish, for example.
>>21783442If you are really interested it is because of entirely different value system.They take pride in being poor and miserableAlso too busy waging wars instead of improving their own lives
>>21783449>Also too busy waging wars instead of improving their own livesConsidering how many casualties Russia suffers in war, it's no surprise they don't bother improving their lives at home, they won't be around to enjoy it long.
>>21783449>TheyYou mean their autocratic leaders.
>>21783432Souvless vs. Souvl
>>21783449They wage wars to worsen others' lives.
>>21783423Yes, that's why they have the most diverse countriesBecause they're the biggest xenophobes
One of my favorite manga is set in Iceland. It's too bad these kinds of stories require a lot of research so most mangaka just lazily copy the aesthetic of a well-known country. >>21783447Slice of life camping in national parks. There's also lots of Arctic to explore.
>>21783334There is a recent manga called Raja worth checking out.
>>21783442Moscow and St. Petersburg are nice, Russians just don't value the nation as a whole like East Asians.
>>21783423>butthurt thirdie seething his visa was rejected
>>21783334Here is your indian representation in manga.
>>21783451East Asians are naturally autocratic too, even under liberal democracy. However the Mandate of Heaven forces them to care about uplifting the nation while Russians view immiseration and suffering as strength.
>>21783439>There is one scene in Mahokua when onii-sama nuked Korea.Wait really? Between the canon incest and nuking Korea I really fucked up by writing this off as boring as fuck...
>>21783444That's nice but actions speak better than shitposting. IRL people keep coming here, being happy, and prospering. So I'll stick with reality which is pretty chill
>>21783422Well according to your Prime Minister, Canada has no culture hence why it needs to be diversified. Same reason there's no anime there.
>>21783462Again, an anglo cannot help but tell lies. Sad. Many such cases.
>>21783447>What the FUCK would they make it about? Buying property?Maple syrup.
>>21783454>Yes, that's why they have the most diverse countries>Because they're the biggest xenophobesPeople really have no idea. Whatever. It's their loss. Americans (and Anglos) of all origins keep winning.
>>21783456>There is a recent manga called Raja worth checking out.Dude. This is fucking KINO.
>>21783457>Moscow and St. Petersburg are nice, Russians just don't value the nation as a whole like East Asians.Most countries are shitholes outside the capital and a couple major cities.
>>21783468it is kind of a pity that you actually believe this
>>21783469He's right. Human civilization has always been extremely centralized and developed cities are few, or do you want to actually compare New York with some randomly chosen countryside town in the US?
>>21783470Nah, not reallyJust because US is shithole outside of major cities does not mean other countries, especially the ones in Western Europe are too. It does not take much time to verify thatEven then US is still levels above russia, at least it does not look like it lived through nuclear warfare
Guys, I know it's a little off topic, but I plan to move to Japan after college. I am tired of America and I don't fit in here. I am Asian and know Mandarin fluently. I have an aunt who lives in Nagoya too. I want to fuck off to a comfy place in Japan and start over. Is it possible?
SEA is the biggest weeb nations and most immigrants come from there, but we get close to 0 representationsad
>>21783456>>21783467I fucking hate how the author portrays the caste system and the so-called "implementation" of the Manusmriti, though.Firstly, the Manusmriti (composed in the 2nd century CE) did not even exist during Kautilya’s time (400 BCE). Secondly, even after its composition, there is ZERO evidence to suggest that the practices prescribed in the Manusmriti were ever implemented in real life.Also, Chanakya/Kautilya was a Brahmin, so he had NO CHANCE of becoming a king, so I don't know where this garbage about him wanting to "become a king" is coming from because he never wanted to.
>>21783468>>21783470Historically the cities were always the biggest shitholes. When you gather so many people together in a small space it's filled with poverty, human waste, and disease. The rural areas are the most beautiful.
>>21783471This is entirely you being ignorant of "most of the world", no shit Western Europe and the US don't look as much like shitholes compared to literally everywhere else, look at any other country and you'll see nothing but dirt roads and grass. I would know, I was born in a dirt road and munched on grass until I was 13.
>>21783323It seems you have not attained yolteotl, OP
>>21783473>but we get close to 0 representationsadBecause you guys act like this and it's uncanny. It's like if a Chinese one day accidentally impregnated a rhesus macaque.
>>21783471>Just because US is shithole outside of major cities It's actually the opposite. A 3rd tier city in the UK or France does not have close to nearly the amount of luxuries and infrastructure as a 3rd tier city in the US. And most of what 3rd tier cities in France does have is really old.Yeah Moscow is better than NYC or LA. But our Greenville SC is way better than Russia's equivalent.

>>21783481>plagiarized Evangelion but made it even betterFtfy. Rahxephon is unironically better than Eva. Yeah, I said it. Eva may be more iconic, but its use of Christian imagery is superficial. Rahxephon's actually makes use of Mayan mythology and symbolism .
I unironically do want more anime set in modern China. Even just movies/games in general. It has a whole different vibe compared to Japan, more metropolitan, futuristic. It feels less personal in a way but there's an appeal. It would be a great setting for neo-noir or romance stories with a focus of modern technology's affect on society.

>>21783472Being racially Asian might mean you'll fit in better at first glance than a white person (so police are less likely to stop you out of nowhere) but on the same coin you might not be given the benefit of the doubt as much for blunders. When I was on student exchange in 2014 I (a white guy) didn't face any noticeable discrimination but another exchange student was denied service in several establishments because she was Korean.But it is perfectly possible to integrate yourself, the most common inter-ethnicity marriages in Japan are ChineseXJapanese (although the overwhelming majority of those is Chinese woman and Japanese man).
>>21783472>MandarinWrong fucking language. You'll be ostracized in JAPAN of all places. If you really want a safe haven with a Mandy speaking populace, I recommend Singapore. Its not Japan, but it is first world. And English is the main language there.

>>21783422There's two Pokemon movies set in Poke-Canada, does that count?https://pocketmonsters.net/content/Movie_17_Scouting_Report
>>21783485>but its use of Christian imagery is superficialHonestly this. NGE has the depth of a puddle, the entire cast are insufferable bitches and cunts, the plot's about as involved as your average magical girl series, and the ending is borderline unfinished. People literally only like it for the designs and the wacky bullshit. It's Hot Topic tier anime.>>21783503>ACKSHUALLY it was a modern adaptaion of Brave RaideenI didn't know that, but I almost said it ripped off Reideen in that post, lmao. If it had come out after the 2006 series, I definitely would have said so, but that's the only Reideen I've seen so I couldn't be sure. I literally checked when each came out before replying, lol.
>>21783492>>21783497Singapore is a fucking shithole which strips and canes its men.I don't want to pay taxes to a fucking shithole which treats its men like that.
>>21783504>everyoneMost don't live there. Either you are a kid who had the privilege of that or you lived in an area that was like that and even has suburbs. No one I ever knew as a kid or now lives in suburbs.
>>21783490Whenever people talk about how "Futuristic" China is they invariably do so over footage of a Chinese skyline absolutely crammed with LEDsAs someone who had to live across the street from a parking garage for a couple years, that looks like absolute hell. Learn to love blackout curtains, bitch
>>21783497I was thinking Gifu or Hokkaido. Is it easy for an Asian to emmigrate there?
>>21783508Everyone being awful in NGE was sort of the pointI'm not defending that. I can't stand that shit either. I don't think it's an objective mark against it, though. People like Breaking Bad even though everyone in that show deserves to be buried in a hole in the desert at the bottom of the sea
>>21783509Retard, they only cane people who commit crimes. Just don't act like a nigger or a retard and you'll get by fine. >t. a white expat in Singapore
>>21783514I'm still not sure why that's so fucking hard for people to accept"BAWWW I CAN'T CHEW GUM!"THEN FUCK OFF
>>21783514This.Imagine moving to a place where you should act like a guest and feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck you want instead.I fucking hate globalization so much.
>>21783513You can have a cast full of cunts without having the cast be unlikeable. The keyword was insufferable. Honestly it's no god damn wonder NGE gets away with ending with everyone basically dying cause nobody would give a shit if they did.
>>21783506Its okay for 13 episodes. I have a bit of nostalgia for it because I saw it on the telly. But it really is subpar compared to Rahxephon and especially Eva. Though, and if youre a diehard Tenchi muyo fan that there is another reason to watch it.
>>21783514Kill yourself.I don't want them to forcefully strip or cane ANY man or boy, PERIOD. And FUCK YOU for paying taxes to a shithole like that.
>>21783517Initially it was alright but as the series wore on, yeah, by the time it ends you're cheering when everyone dies
>>21783516While I get what you mean, Singapore is one of those places that resulted from globalization. Pretty much 100% of its populace is immigrants (yes even the """"""native""""""" malays), and the island owe its success to being a vital port.
>>21783324This, no one cares about those irrelevant cultures
>>21783323At their best writing, japan is a time capsule/snapshot of american/western culture mixed with their own nipponisms
>>21783514I like to spit and eat while walking. Sue me. But I won't do so in your country out of respect (for the cane).
>>21783382Well they are more european than any of the other categorizations that you could fit them in, but yeah they are a bit of a mix.
>>21783514>>21783515If I ever visit Singapore and accidently commit a crime may God imbue me with strength of character to yell "one more for good luck" after getting the stick.
>>21783521The British really built their best cities abroad.
>>21783524Speaking as somebody who spits in public, they dont cane people for spitting in Singapore. Its a propaganda that was pushed after Michael Fay acted like a nigger.
>>21783527It's easier to build something new than it is to fix something old
>>21783323Part of Brazil looks like a puzzle part of Africa lol.
>>21783510If you're born in America, yeah you're privileged. Now go do something with it. Cuz if you don't a new American will.
>>21783530Hey yeah I wonder if anyone ever noticed that before
>>21783514>>21783515>>21783516>>21783521>>21783524>>21783526You dumbasses don't get the fucking point.They forcefully strip, humiliate and cane MEN AND BOYS EXCLUSIVELY, you dumbfuck retards.It's a misandric shithole which deserves to get fucking nuked.
>>21783533>Misandrist>Only punishes the people who are actually expected to know betterYou sure about that, chief?
>>21783528I have little sympathy for entitled expats who don't try to be polite and follow the rules when abroad . Yeah maybe you shouldn't wear camo and bring bullets if you go on a cruise in the Caribbean (or wear a swimsuit outside the beacH0. I do like to spit though.
>>21783533Blame the British. Caning for women was stopped on the 1940s. Caning was one of the laws Singapore got from the British, which is why it retained it.
>>21783531Yes and no.America (and the West really) have a pseudo caste system of which white men are at the bottom where you are expected to work but get zero benefits from doing so
>>21783542Serms like the opposite here. White men seem to be kings in Singapore
If only moving the thread retroactively applied the correct flags, it'd be very interesting to see who was posting what.
>>21783546In any high trust society that doesn't specifically punish you for being a white male specifically then I would imagine so, yeah.The west is just super ethnomasocistic at the moment even though that is the least sustainable way to run a country.
>>21783542>America (and the West really) have a pseudo caste system [...] which white men are at the bottomThis is hilarious. Nah America is great for anyone--if you put in the work. If you don't, yeah you'll be at the bottom. Most white men put in the work BTW.
>>21783550White men objectively get less job offers and less social movement without connections.I mean the tiny hatted powers that be literally brag about this shit and how they go out of their way to be more diverse (discriminate against white males)
>>21783547i guess we don't have the technology
>>21783553Funny how even with a penalty (that applies worse to Asian-Americans btw) most of us keep winning.
>>21783553>muh white discriminationThat graph shows boomer that retired. Boomer are white and america is getting browner.
>>21783561Basically yeah. White men are getting older. Some are struggling--and I have empathy for them provided they don't lash out at those who are putting in the work and winning.
>>21783547For what its worth - I recommended Rahpxephon here. >>21783477 Rahxephon was unique to me due to its Mayan imagery and symbolism. I understand that a few other anime has similar Middle and South American influence like Nazca.
>>21783508I should give the 2006 Reideen a try. It would be funny if the newer Reideen took inspiration from Rahxephon lmao.
>>21783558Asian Americans are higher on the caste system and get more benefits than whites. Blacks share the top spot with Jews and troons/fags but each organization has a different top spot on the chart. White men are all at the bottom no matter the chart though. Complete bullshit considering the US and West in general was built by and for white men and every other demographic instead gets a piece of the pie despite having zero loyalty to the idea and purpose of the nation and just wanting material benefits. I mean, look in the mirror. There you are, an Asian presumably, living in a white country acting like it is hard when we literally give you preferential treatment and just saying "though shit" no matter what statistics and proof I provide. Zero loyalty to the point I would call it foreign undermining without a shred of irony.
>>21783561Not at all.White men are dropping out of society because there is no point and they are shit on at every opportunity by ungrateful faggots who want more work for less and also that they should eternally feel ashamed. When you look at the statistics the same in happening in colleges so it isn't just old whites.
>>21783595they're not DROPPING OUT, they're assimilating with china to get better jobs
selling their souls, their home, their children
>>21783580>There you are, an Asian presumably, living in a white countryI'm German-Anglo American with my roots pre-1776. Last time someone told me I was Asian was because I mentioned bitter melon. Sorry you suck. Spend less time complaining about others and more time grinding.
>>21783323kys chud
>>21783601No, they are dropping out and only working when they absolutely have to, because they are condemned to poverty basically no matter what they doI mean how fucking demoralizing is it as a white men to be told that not only do you have to live in poverty on line of destitution, but you have to give MORE free shit to other people who hate you and who complain you have it easy? Then you have the few unbeaten dogs who personally lucked out and pretend the system isn't completely broken like >>21783609 and defend it. It's actually insane how a nation has done nothing but to make an enemy of it's most productive and important group of people. Not only is it completely insane - it's unsustainable. And you can see the effects of this as society continues to break down in numerous ways.
>>21783625yeah you right.i guess i was talking about a subset of the more well-off ones, the ones who have more independence and freedom to choose.
>>21783625I demand better of my people.Most white men are doing fantastic in the US (in spite of w/e diversity penalty may or may not exist). Of those that aren't--including some of my extended family--it's not difficult to figure out why. Take responsibility for your life and live like you're actually a white man. This applies to anyone but you're greatest enemy is always the face looking back at you in the mirror.
>>21783642true
>>21783642>Take responsibility for your life and live like you're actually a white man. This applies to anyone but you're greatest enemy is always the face looking back at you in the mirror.Okay, what happens when there are no jobs and I can't get hired because I don't fill the quota? It's not fair to deny people the chance to fucking work just because they are the MAJORITY and PRIMARY TARGET that the country is supposed to be sustained by and for and to give preferential treatment to outsiders who by all rights are lucky they are in the country to begin with and should never get preferential treatment, much less have the standard cater to them.What, you want me to start doing free internships?Go fuck yourself, again, you just want people to work more and harder for much, much less reward. Flooding the job market with low skill labor doesn't help either regardless of whether you give their race preferential treatment or not since it lowers ALL wages. I don't ask for free shit, just the opportunity to get compensated for work which I am denied because I don't fit X quota.
>>21783668It's called merit. Sorry you didn't make the cut. Try to figure out why you didn't and improve yourself. It's not healthy to seethe and cope because others out performed you. Sometimes you may also need to move.
>>21783681>Sometimes you may also need to move.I'm not a rootless faggot with zero connection to my familyThe rest of your post is just bait so I think I am done even replying to you because your arguments are retarded. There is no merit in 99% of these racial hirings, they are just there to tick a box.If I didn't have a tight knit family myself I would be fucked but unlike other unlucky bastards I have that at least. But idiots like you just want to shit on your own countrymen no matter how hard they try because you hate your own people and/or you care more about petty material shit than keeping your country, family, and community alive.
>>21783686My countrymen are anyone who follow the law and love this country; many of them are first gen immigrants deeply love this country and represent among the best we have to offer. America is the best in the world because we are a nation founded on a creed that We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Sorry you don't want to join us.
>21783700>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.Nice quotation by people who didn't think women should vote and only "free white persons of good character" should be citizens like any reasonable person would.Closing the thread now, no more (You)s for subverters
>>21783323> why do 97 percent of mexican novelas take place in mexico.For an ethnostate, nips are actually relatively good at diversifying their setting.
>>21783712Its one of the reasons why I see anime as far superior to US animation. I can't say "western animation" since French comics & animation is pretty kino, but most cable and TV animation in the US is just lacklustre. Thankfully, streaming has diversified US animation in the past decade and a half, but they still cannot hold a candle to the diversity that anime and manga can offer.
>>21783719Yeah, tbf they have their slop trends too. >that time I died and reincarnated as a planet in another universe
>>21783728Yeah thats true. Isekai has been a blight on anime/manga, and I say that as a fantasy fan. Though, its also because its an effective escapism outlet. Its a lot easier to sell fantasy slop when the average salaryman is not in the mood for difficult stories.
>>21783323Imagine anime about Somalian pirates
>>21783873Black Lagoon 2?
>>21783323https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Brazilians
literally name one tranime series that takes place in russia or is about russia
