That’s kind of how I’m looking at it. Idk why people are trying to claim it so hard to being racism. What if the person passing by is Japanese American and they actually can’t read Japanese? Like what do you call it then? Japan has been known to actually be racist (e.g. against Naomi Osaka) but this example, on a matter of technicality, I cannot confidently say (without bias) that this is outright racism. (even though it could be)

Legit don’t get why people are downvoting. Discrimination is literally a word. WTF people. FFS
