I have never looked down on people because of their skin color, ethnicity, language, or cultural differences, but it seems that this does exist in other places.
Japan has long had the motto of "welcome all who come," but also the motto of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," meaning that the country has always welcomed immigrants as long as they followed Japan's rules, and this has continued since the Asuka and Nara periods.
In my hometown there is a village where people came from China and Korea about 1,300 years ago, and now they live lives that are no different from Japanese people.
However, in America and Europe, people are treated differently simply because of their skin color...is this to suggest that Japan is unique, or that other places are abnormal?
In the town where I live, there are African, Russian, and Han Chinese people living in the neighborhood, but no particular incidents have ever occurred there.
Everyone lives in peace.
I wonder why such a simple thing can't be done in other places, but perhaps it's because "it's common sense around the world that this isn't possible, and Japan is an exception."

Anyone who can read Japanese should understand...

『世の中を思へばなべて散る花の我が身をさてもいづちかもせむ』(西行)

光源氏名のみことごとしう、言ひ消たれたまふ咎多かなるに、いとどかかる好きごとどもを末の世にも聞き伝へて、軽びたる名をや流さむと忍びたまひける隠ろへごとをさへ語り伝へけむ、人のもの言ひさがなさよ

世の中いと煩はしく、はしたなき事のみ増えれば「せめて知らず顔にあり経ても、これよりまさることもや」と思(おぼ)しなりぬ
(源氏物語「須磨」より)
