However, it also reflects a situation that many of those who are not ethnically Japanese and live in this country often face.

A lot of the experiences that were described in that video are common. For example, people I meet for the first time regularly ask me if I am an English teacher; as if all Westerners are predetermined to be one. One person almost appeared crestfallen when I told him I was not.

This thinking is not comparable to ethnic cleansing or genocide in other countries. With that being said, it is frustrating to those who are receiving this type of treatment.
