It's weird that you're trying to pretend there's an end goal here now because that's the only thing suiting your argument.
It's not my job to try and make racist people change. It's not my obligation or responsibility and it's incredibly racist and sexist of you to suggest otherwise.
Why do you care more about the feelings of the racist than the victims?

Would I say "you have some unresolved issues that are causing you to apply a blanket attitude to a whole race of people. Have you ever tried working through that?" to a black person?
Sure, the OP's race has very little to do with my comment. I didn't assume the OP's race at all. I might adjust my comment if OP were also Japanese, but I don't see how my comment was otherwise unable to be applied to all races.

Ok, being a dick about stuff is probably the right approach for results. You're right. I see people being badgered changing all the time.

Lol, what? No, they won't.
There's ZERO evidence that a stranger on Reddit reading this will take you seriously, particularly when they don't think they're doing anything wrong.
Second, I don't have an obligation to make the OP a better person, because guess what?
I'm more concerned with the victims of racism reading this than I am with OPs little racist feelings that you keep trying to justify.

I said it was bad and they needed therapy. The difference is my approach they might take seriously, your approach they will just defend and justify. You're the one enabling.

Considering they're a teenager who has never left the country, no, they weren't.
We have a LOT of information suggesting OP is just a terrible person, including their comment that it was okay to mock a disabled child because the mother "should've given it up."
We actually have quite a bit of information suggesting OP is just, in fact, a terrible person.
And btw, condoning and supporting racism isn't compassion. It's enabling.

You have no idea what the trauma was. For all you know they were held and tortured by the Yakuza for ten years. When you lack information, compassionate accountability is a great approach

No, being scared of an entire country of people because of some unspecified trauma that isn't WWII isn't a normal human response.
It's the response of someone justifying racism.
Maybe you should read the OPs comments before you defend them.

Being scared because of experience and association is a normal, human response. Not working through that with a professional is an immature one. Better qualifies as racism.

This happened to me back in September. You have to keep disputing the charge. Eventually you will get it sorted out.

Y’all both have issues, but he isn’t a psychopath. Talk together and figure your shit out, or end it. Just don’t let the kid suffer , figure it out before then

Not liking an entire race=bad.
Not wanting to travel.. that’s a big expensive ticket to do something you don’t want to do. Tell her to invite a best friend.

Ofcourse. There are plenty of black people who are racist af, just like any other. And just like any other, they should be ashamed of that and work on it. Anyone who demand special treatment for the color of their skin should be shamed.

Trauma isn't an excuse for racism, prejudice, or xenophobia.

I lived in Japan as a kid for a couple years and this blows my mind. Everyone I interacted with in Japan was really nice. I never got treated like a stupid American when asking for assistance. It was the opposite. People went out of their way to be helpful.
Can you provide more details to what happened that you hate an entire country enough not to visit? Like were the people you interacted with Japanese or Japanese Americans? I went to high school with some kids of of varying nationalities who were totally asshats, but I would never judge their heritage based on their behavior. There are bad people in every culture.

Okay so not only are you not an anarchist, you're just a straight-up fash. I'm autistic so for all I know, you're also providing rage bait and therefore not being serious. But on the off-chance you aren't, fucking yikes.

Good guess and I'm this callous toward all people. The human race is carrying a lot of dead weight. Thinning the herd is beneficial to all, and starting with the weak, sick and damaged is how the natural order of things works. Leave it to humanity to ignore the laws of nature and keep overpopulating the planet with no end in sight.
If this were an antinatalism thread she'd be the one getting the shit for reproducing. Nature would not allow this child to live it it were any other species. The mother would eat her young first.
Love the username. btw.

Are you sure you were being creative? Or was your goal weaponized incompetence? I can see you saying, "I can't cook! The last time I cooked, I started a fire!"

In my view, you're coming off very manipulative here. Sure, he hired an escort to hurt you....because he was hurting. You gave him the ultimatum of "I get to explore things with Christina or it's over." That's really fucked up. He probably felt that if he said that he wasn't okay with you seeing Christina then you'd dump him...it definitely reads like that with you already bringing that up. He seems like a regular, insecure guy that got fucked over emotionally by a female and now you are looking for people to tell you that it's okay to dump him for being psycho. He's not. You're manipulative and emotionally abusive. Let this poor man be. You've played enough games.

What exactly were you expecting? You already said the bread was getting too dark on medium setting, what did you expect to happen when you turned the bloody thing to high??? Not sure what’s wrong with using the good old fashioned grill setting on an oven to grill your cheese toaster, it’s even less effort than having to set an ironing board up and holding the iton

I work in a hotel, I'll be asking you to leave if I find you using a clothes iron inappropriately. Fire is the number one risk in a hotel
