うち(uchi)inside/ そと(soto)outside

Some people have been asking why I like China so much well I say it’s not that I like China it is just that in Japan, even Canada and Europe, they have strong feelings of うち/そと. Really every country with a majority people, Canada it is English. Even China, the majority Chinese (Han Chinese) are just as bad as any other country but even so they still accept people more easily as　うち　or 仲間 (friend) than most other countries. I think most minority Chinese (not Han) have even less  うち/そとfeeling and will treat you more like うち/仲間 more readily. I realized I have one friend who is the first person to never called me “foreigner” or “outside” sometimes they tell me to don’t say I am foreigner “you’re Chinese” to avoid complicated issues. Even minorities in Canada will have a strong うち/そと feeling as if to protect somehow themselves. Wait a second what are Japanese

trying to protect? They have nearly destroyed their language and culture and gave up so much to American culture. I notice I often get translation assignments from Japanese and I noticed even their Japanese sentences are kind of strange. I guess the reason why minority Chinese tend to be more open to accept you is because they all ready know their language and culture is being buried by the majority culture. But a good thing maybe about Canada/Brazil is maybe its going to be the only place where Japanese/other cultures are going to exist.
