#35 Paul Nehls B.A, M.A/ JAPAN TALK: Crazy Japanese Neighbors, Being "Gaikokujin" in Japan

Episode 35 is not a fitness-related episode, however a cultural one (for those English speaking listeners!). I invite, Paul Nehls who is an Assistant Professor at Yokohama City University as we discuss our own perspectives of discrimination living here in Japan. In this conversation we bring up our personal experiences and encounters with discriminatory behaviors living both here in Japan and abroad, as well as touching on Japanese historical and cultural values. Let me know what you think of this episode as it is highly a debatable topic and I'm open to different opinions. バーベルラジオ第35回は、横浜市立大学の助教であるネルス・ポール先生とお話をしました。現在ネルス先生は、横浜市立大学で授業を行いながら横浜国立大学で応用言語学を専門として博士号を取得しております。お話の内容はフィットネス関連のトピックではなく、教育者としての日本での経験そして、在日外国人が経験している差別に対しての経験や意見についてオープンにお話を行いました。 Timeline 02:43 Challenges teaching in Japan 07:08 Remote Classes in Japan 10:28 Twitter in Japan is scary 19:28 Being a "foreigner" in Japan 24:08 Japanese constitution hypocrisy 36:13 Standing out in Japan 44:53 Indirect racism in Japan 52:38 Shame culture 01:03:18 Crazy neighbours in Japan 01:08:23 Unintended discrimination 01:12:23 ExJapter, YouTube channel  ExJapter YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuKAhg5hbj9Ul_rU-RrfXaA "White Priviledge in Japan" Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4xrrH19c_k ExJapter Instagram: @exjapter Ruth Benedict- The Chrysanthemum and the Sword https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chrysanthemum_and_the_Sword Black in Japan YouTube Channels  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM9uvq7NiMDmqZnaepEvc0A Barbell Radio SNS Instagram, Twitter, Facebook: @barbellradio
