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.

Not Asian nor in Asia, but from what I've heard from Japanese colleagues about Japan, it is really harsh on foreigners and a lot of the migrants who stay is composed of dedicated reactionaries and fascists. If you're looking for a place you aren't shunned for foreigner-ness, you might want to expand your search to outside the imperial core/"Global North". Of course, no country has "solved racism" and I wouldn't make any broad statements here, but it could be useful to consider "poor" countries too. Some are more liveable than you might think and depending on your profession you might even have an easier time finding work in some.

Edit: But I forgot to add, any such decision such be made with a lot of care and thought!
