A Japanese person could cut and run from a job, get behind on their rent, throw garbage on the street, or miss-sort their garbage and no one would say “it is because he is Japanese” - yet it is thought that when foreigners do those things, it is because they are foreigners.
This is not accurates.
A Japanese person could cut and run from a job, get behind on their rent, take entire industries from other countries using cartel behaviour, throw garbage on the street, steal technology, murder several car drivers with faulty airbags, or miss-sort their garbage, fails to pay normal insurance and wages to foreigner teachers, and no one would say “it is because he is Japanese” - yet it is thought that when foreigners do those things, it is because they are foreigners.
There, this is more polite, more clean.
