I want to teach english in Japan and i heard that it's hard for Indians to be 'accepted' in Japan.

Their is apparantly NO indians in Japan what so ever and they have no Sikh Temples and nowhere to buy indian clothes and food etc

And the apparantly hate our culture and hate our people.

I just wanted to know if all of this is true? And if they hate us then why?
I'm actually very light skinned and i do pass as a white person sometimes, i was born and raised in Britain so i know more English then Punjabi.

And i'm already learning Japanese.
In case i didn't make this clear before:

I'M NOT IN INDIA
I AM A BRITISH INDIAN

I've lived in England all my life

Yes! It's TRUE! They hate your culture,they hate your people,and they hate your religion,and they hate everything you stand for. And why,you ask! Because there no different from the rest of the world. Now ask me if they hate Americans,because they do,why, for the same reason.

There are not many Indians in Japan, but there aren't many foreigners from any country in Japan. There may be a Sikh Temple in Tokyo, but there simply aren't enough Sikh worshipers in Japan to warrant building a temple. Curry dishes are actually quite popular in Japan, so you should have no problem finding Indian food (or at least food with Indian flavor/elements).

I have actually heard that there is a stereotype in Japan that Indians are intelligent (similar to the American stereotype that Japanese are intelligent). They definitely do NOT hate your culture or people. You may find that they do not know much about it, but that does not mean they hate it. They will probably be very interested to hear anything that you tell them about India and Indian culture. Also, because you say you are British, they will also be interested in that part of you.

Foreigners outside of Tokyo and other major cities will always stick out in Japan, whether they are white, black, Indian, etc. If people stare at you, you need to be aware that it is not hatred; they simply do not see a lot of foreigners, so they are curious. Some people get bothered by this and say they are not "accepted", but that is just a result of their own ignorance. If you have an open mind, you will find that the Japanese will treat you very well!

Good luck!

It is said that the educators of school (not a language school. I mean Jr and high schools.) who doesn't speak English have a tendency to select caucasian English teacher.
Now you have got the answer.

But you know Indian curry is very popular in Japan.

Sounds to me like you're heading to the wrong country. Maybe you should consider India where you can blend in.

If there are no Indians in Japan, I would be very surprised! And if they hate Indians and everything Indian, I would be even MORE surprised. I've never heard that before!
But if I was Japanese and I wanted to learn English, I would hire an English or American person to teach me, not an Indian. No disrespect, but it's kind of like getting a Japanese guy to teach me Hindi! Or an Indian to teach me French!

What about Wiki-san (though he may be Sri Lankan)

I am not in japan, but would like to its such a nice place, And it is not true, what you have written is prejudice. But yes it is difficult to emmigrate to japan given the limited space and high cost of living. Also it is very important that you learn japanese that might make things easier. Look at the japanese embassy website. And you will find there are indians there and hinduism followers.

There are hundreds of Indians here.There are dozens of Indian restaurants and you can buy your sari and spice here too.
I am not sure where you got your information ,its packed with false information.
If you have the qualification there is a high possibility you can be employed.There is a Jet program TEACHING ENGLISH IN JAPAN) check the Japanese embassy in your country.
The private schools do prefer Whites to blacks and qualified Indians or non whites.But they to will employ you as a honorable white.The Japanese do not hate you but they will keep their distance from you until they know you and then they will kill you with kindness.

Hi!
I don't know who has told you this, but certainly only the part about the temples is close to truth. But only "close"
There are two Indians in my class and they are very popular, because they are the only "native English speakers" who are actually willing to give advices and check homeworks in English. They have many friends, more than the Europeans, even, because they seem to have excellent social skills. They are even more sociable than some Asian and non-Asian people, probably because they have come to Japan without any prejudices.If you get rid of your prejudices, I'm sure you'll have wonderful time in Japan.
When you apply in a school, your race and nationality won't be of much importance, unless you try to work in some club for kids or old ladies, who are more interested in chit-chatting with Paris Hilton looking girl, than studying English. But it is not worth working in such places when there are many better ones.
Conclusively, Japanese consider Indians native English speakers, have great interest in Indian culture (not only the food!), and to such extent that they have many shops where you can actually buy Indian clothes and many other Indian goods( I know two around my home, + an Indian restaurant with Indian chef and Indian staff). I know some Indian guys who are dating Japanese girls.
The Indians I know are happy with their life in Japan and want to stay more!

whats up doll you where born and educated in the uk you are an english person not indian, you want to teach english not punjabi or any of the indian languages, so what is your problem, why not do the same as your forefathers did take your culture and your faith with you,

I'm Japanese and I didn't see or hear treat bad to Indian peoples. ( I not live Japan now) I grow up watch Indian man's curry CM.( curry is one of most popular food in Japan but I believe from India) I saw Indian doctors and college students. Shinjuku ( Tokyo) has a Indian food restaurant owe by Indian. I don't know there is "temples" or "clothes" stores. I think no matter where you live around world, there is always you see good peoples and bad peoples. I hope this will help...

This is not true. I grew up in Japan and I've known Indian women who lived there.

In fact, Indian food is one of the most popular foreign foods in Japan and there are tons of Indian restaurants.

I'm not sure about Temples. My guess is there are some in the large cities like Tokyo or Nagoya. You'll have to look around.

Some Japanese people don't like people from other Asian countries, but most don't feel that way.

follow your dream, enjoy yourself, do what you really want, ignore the haters, be yourself.

I am not qualified to answer this question since I have never been to Japan but I see you are misunderstood even before you go to Japan. I can assure you that Japan is much more restrictive in both their governmental regulations for foreign teachers as well as their cultural expectations.

I have lived in China for 4 years and I can say that there is no real hatred for people of Indian ancestry that I have noticed. As a matter of fact, when I was at Lanzhou University, a lecture about Indian culture by two visiting scholars from India drew a standing room only crowd. Even so, I must say the Chinese do not believe they can learn correct pronunciation from a person of Indian ancestry. This is based on their general awareness of Indian accents and their own poor skill at noticing whether someone has a British or Indian accent.

Based on what the government requires of foreign teachers here in China, you are just as qualified to teach English at a university as I am if you have a bachelor's degree. You must first incite an interest in yourself as a U.K. citizen and a native speaker of English. Delay sending your photo on first inquiry because the east Asians are very prejudiced against dark skin people or even those who appear of a racial group that is generally dark skinned. There is a chance, however, that they may warm up to you first and that can lift them over their prejudice. Your knowledge of Japanese language is a benefit. Chinese don't consider knowledge of Chinese language to be a real benefit since they generally believe in the immersion principle for language learning, as do most linguists.

I also know that some French Canadians claim to be native speakers of English to get a job in China when their parents did not actually speak English in the home. They have a strong French accent but to the Chinese, they are white skinned Canadians and that's sufficient.
