Are Japanese People Racist?
In the first ever episode of the Tokyo lens podcast, I came to address the question as to whether or not Japan in Japanese people are racist.

If you have any other questions or would like some follow up on this particular topic please search for Tokyo lens on YouTube and leave a comment on one of my Q&A.
