    What exactly did they type that you thought was racist?

    OP thinks they're doing a service to humanity by labeling what happened to them as 'racist' and looking for sympathy. What they're actually doing is (looking for attention - but I digress) diminishing the impact of actual racist behavior; you know, like genocide, the third reich, racially motivated mass shootings, etc? One belittles those tragedies when one chalks up a dungeon kick to 'racism'. That's actually fairly disgusting.

    Get kicked from a group where the other people are of a differing race? Racism. Are you also that person who gets a sales clerk with a bad attitude and different color skin, and chalk that up to 'racism'? Didn't get hired for that job, and the interviewer was of a differing race, so it's 'racism'? Get pulled over for expired tags, and the cops are doing it only because they're racist?

    OP, I highly suggest you read an old fable by Aesop called 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. If you understand the moral it will be like the sky opening up for you with sunbeams and the choir singing "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!". Or, maybe, you won't get it. I suppose there's a fair chance of that, too.

    Friggin' racism because you got kicked from a dungeon group. Cry me a river. I hope you never experience actual racism, fellow human. It might make your head spin.

    It's pretty common knowledge that JP is exclusive and does not mesh well with the community that speaks English. We do stuff differently than they do and there's also the automatic assumption that everyone has the "Western mindset" (entitled, spoiled, hard to talk to, etc.). It's not racist though and I highly encourage you to look up the definition for the future.

    Pretty much, if you're going to speak English and play on JP, learn and stick to their rules like glue. You're in someone else's house now.

    I hope to every god in existence that I'm just reading this wrong. "diminishing the impact of actual racist behavior"? How does that even happen? All those examples you have given actually happen and are just as bad.

    Whether its just words between two individuals or some of the events that have happen in the last couple of years. There is no Extremes or different levels of Racism. No level should be acceptable.

    As someone who grew up with one of those examples you just so happened to give actually happening to a younger version of me makes it seem like I should of just sucked it up and accepted it.

    if being called a stupid foreigner and told to 'go home' isn't racism then what is it?

    Defend it all you want, there are just bad eggs in every society.

    Dude. There are levels.
    I was once walking down a road, and someone called me a chink right to my face.
    Was that genocide level racism? No.
    Was it still racism? Yes.
    Your way of thinking is bad, because you seem to think that you need a certain quota to fill to consider something to be racist.

    This here is the problem you may be new to JP worlds, we practice in PF, join learning parties. You farm in DF.

    I wonder if they'd even get banned for calling you a "stupid foreigner" tbh. Seems like people sort of just normalize xenophobic BS from the Japanese community.
    Considering we can't even swear in chat without getting a warning on our account in the English speaking datacenters, and we have to tiptoe around how we tell a tank to turn on his stance in a dungeon so he doesn't get his feefees hurt and report us for "forcing a playstyle," it'll be real interesting to see how your report about actual xenophobic behavior goes, OP!

    also agreed with person who said pics or it didnt happen mainly because i wanna see what was written and translate it myself
