Not racist. You can learn whatever language you want. In fact you donât even need to learn Japanese. You can just use a translator app. This only is discrimination against those too lazy to do either.

Yep, one cafe in Kyoto said that they were by reservation only and Iâd have to come back the next day. The entire cafe was empty except for one Japanese couple. Was immediately obvious what was going on.

Its also discrimination against those who can read all 3 languages but have poor eyesight so they can only actually read the larger text English.
