#asiancanadians — Public Fediverse posts

There are quite a few #AsianAmericans or #AsianCanadians in #Japan.

Sadly, but not entirely unexpectedly, they're, just like their brethren back home, actively disinterested in Asian migrant communities here (as compared to passive disinterest from most westerners).

Japan, as "cool" Asia, is acceptable to be into. The rest of Asia? Not so much.
