No idea if my posts may be recognizable yet so a short intro: I'm perceived as a foreigner everywhere I go my entire life and have no attachments anywhere. Finding housing is hell due to the anti foreigner prejudice. I moved countries three times in the past three years because of this and I'm struggling again so I'm escaping the situation by thinking of the potential future solutions. I keep hearing about the Japanese decreasing population so I was thinking maybe it would be viable to look into jobs there eventually. I was wondering how it went for you or if you fantasize of it or plan to do so yourself. I just aim to someday live where my contribution to the society is more valuable than the prejudice against me not being a local and places with considerable negative birth rate feels like the most sensible choice.

I've lived in many countries deemed very progressive and they're racist as fuck just absolutely delusional about it, frequently while expressing extreme racism (i.e. local racists claiming people of their ethnicity aren't racist and it's only people of non local ethnicities being racist - yes, while stressing out ethnicities). I'd rather live in a country honest about own racism where finding housing is possible. ๐Ÿ˜…

From personal experience Japan is fairly conservative in terms of ideology when compared to the world. If you are looking for an overall accepting place, I would seriously stay away. Your experience there will probably be the same as the other countries you lived in, if not worse

Fair enough. I'm not sure what countries you've lived in but conservatives seem to dominate pretty much everywhere. I just seek the lesser evil and not to struggle with potential homelessness creeping in. The latter mostly. It really doesn't matter if the country preaches non conservative values for profit while minorities struggle with basic human necessities.
