How are different ethnicities discriminated against in Japan? [closed]
I was reading this article called Can I side-step discrimination against foreigners in Japan? and it makes me wonder, how are different ethnicities discriminated against in Japan? Quoting the answer,
White men have a role here, and it's not a bad one. You won't experience the same conformist pressures as the natives (e.g. bald Japanese men have a rotten time) and, if you're single, you'll be thoroughly spoilt!
So white people are treated well. Is that true regardless of whether or not they're bald?
What about black people? What about people of Hispanic descent or from India? What about Muslims with full hijabs on?
