Japon and France, Best International Friends FOREVER, and the African-World Equation...

Here's a little known factoid about international culture......

Did you know that France and Japan are socio-cultural allies. They even have Treaties Written for this kind of thing.

Japan and France are connected in many ways, on MANY levels. 

But as much as I love Japan, historically speaking, there's no denying that there's one area Japan and France Have Aggressively Differed in. Do you know what that is? The treatment of those with African descent. While both cultures and countries strive for peace and tolerance, there's no denying that, other than foreigners in general, black people and foreigners in Japan were discriminated against by the Japanese at least 10 to 50 times more and have a historic track record of treating black people and especially "black foreigners" 50 times WORSE (yes, I'm talking about nationalism and racism against foreigners) than the French have EVER people of African descent. In that sense, culturally and racially speaking, in terms of historic cultural treatment Japan is way more discriminatory of blacks than France ever was.

Look of my previous post's link to the Wiki article on Josephine Baker for proof of this historical contradiction.
