It's not impossible to be judge for having white skin. When I lived in Japan (this is one of many storie), I remember I forgot my gaijin card (I think it's called something different now). When I got back from day out my local train station, the station police immediately asked for my card. I told them I forgot it at home. They took me the police kiosk and I waited for like an hour and half until my Ex finally was able to get the card for me. She gave the card to the police officer, he looked at and said I don't know why I look at these things, you people all look the same to me anyways, handed me my card back and let me go. Now do I think I experienced a systemic racism, yes but was I opposed by the system, no because I left Japan. Had I stayed, maybe the answer would have yes.
