My experience with Japanese people are kind of polarised and you may find it hard to believe. I'll say it anyway since imo one learns more from analysing negative comments rather than compliments.

A huge number of Japanese students I met in Australia dislikes social interactions with people of other Asian cultures; some are so extreme that they even refuse to talk to other Asians in the same class. I don't know if that can be called "conservative" anymore but it's not quite racist (except a few extreme examples).

Having said that, I know a small number of Japanese people who really enjoys mingling with everyone and they're great friends too. So it's like seeing two extremes with nothing in the middle...

EDIT: Forgot to add that through my observation, Japanese people are generally very polite towards white people (some to the extend of showing fear). So if you're of Caucasian appearance then chances are you'll never encounter any "rude" Japanese lol

The question is pretty complicated because it relates to ideologies of Japan and what people are experiencing as they grow up. I feel kind of uncomfortable saying that I like or dislike people because of that. A somewhat extreme example: human rights in Nigeria are appalling, so people brought up there soak up those values; I wouldn't say that I dislike Nigerian people by default because of that. I suppose the issue I have with the question having the implication of tying culture and heritage directly to individuals.

That being said, I don't have any Japanese friends, I can't speak Japanese competently and I have never been to Japan, though I imagine this is true for most people in the thread. Anything I see from Japan is second hand, so largely entertainment media and news coverage, so not exactly extremely reliable. An issue I imagine a lot of Westerners would take with Japan is to do with how harsh the law is on recreational drug use, cannabis being the main offender. Imprisonment/deporture for that is obscene. Some quick research also found that the antidepressant I take (which has been extremely helpful and without the side-effects I got from fluoxetine) has only been approved for use in Japan since 2011 despite being approved since 2002 in the US, so I would be kind of worried about medicine in general in Japan.

I also love gaymers.

I think of these Japanese people that they're polite, responsible, friendly, hospitable and creative even they can be easily embarrassed.
I also have a Japanese friend in real life and she is being always nice to me.

On another note: Some Japanese people actually do have a bias against foreigners
actually i take that back because I sometimes catch myself judging based on someone's race/nationality

As you can see, I suck at English. We have no communication to talk to foreigners.

Yeah, they're like that and I think its because of their English skills and their accents.

I think the Japanese are revolutionary inventors. For example, Japan came up with KFC-flavoured chips.

I was just looking through this thread and I wanted to ask you guys if you actually had enough experience with Japanese people to actually formulate an opinion on them. My bet is that most of you did not, because what I've seen so far are stereotypes, really. And anime doesn't count, of course.
