Ainu and Okinawa's people are the primitive aborigines who had no decent culture whatsoever until recently. However, they are a part of this country since they originally lived in Japan before a pile of the people immigrated from the continent, such as China and Korea. So the Japanese are generally closer to Ainu and Okinawa than to China and Korea except the people in Osaka and Kansai who are normally closer to the Koreans than to the Japanese majority. I don't mean to generalise everything, but as always, all the notorious crimes happen in Osaka and mostly those Koreans are related to it. In fact the Koreans are entitled to choose either going back to North Korea or naturalise into the Japanese. But the problem is, they take advantage of it and become a kind of stateless citizen, creating the anti-Japan groups and trashing about the country. This is why many people don't like about the Koreans and nothing to do with prejudice. If anything, that's the Koreans, who have very strange prejudice against Japan. Because they are lying of their own history and the territorial problems between Japan and Korea. After all, the Easterners are far better educated and the standard of living is superb, compared to Osaka, where there are many slums.

There are also very few Koreans in any prisons in the US and I have never even heard of Koreans being involved in crime.
They work hard in the US and they don't in Japan is I think racism, too. Are there any reasons that they favour the Americans and British more than the Japanese? Even though the Koreans historically immigrated in Japan by stealing everything and killing everyone, they are now angry about Japan when the Japanese did the same to them. The Koreans never appologised to Japan regarding to that part of the history what they did even though Japan did appologise about the WWII many times. Even though the British also did the same to China and colonised it, the Chinese and Koreans somehow take part of the US and Europe and never try to listen to the Japanese side of the truth. This means they are obviously looking down the Japanese. They are very self-centred. So I hope they will stop these stupid pretences of innocence and victimhood. The Japanese imperial history is only a short event in the long history in East Asia. If we think like that way, China and Korea are more terrible than Japan in longer period. I don't think they should only pick up that part of Japan and bash Japan as if it is everything of this country. It's unfair. The fact is that Japan today has a lot better human rights than the continent. So it's very stupid that they are always jealous of us. Put that inferior complex away.

Seoul: Yeongdeungpo, Nangok, Gupabal, Nokbun, etc.
Los Angeles: Compton, Inglewood, East LA, etc
Portland, OR: Northeast Portland

I would be willing to bet that this Bermuda Triangle scumbag has been on SSC before and was banned or kicked off. This is the kind of scumbag that just creates another name and comes back to slander more people and lie.

You probably are everything that you say you hate. Let us see a photo of you and we'll examine it for your racial features.

In NYC we get a bum rap. Everyone thinks that all of the Bronx and Brooklyn are slums and dangerous. They are not. But if you are here- Stay away from South Bronx (Hunts Point), Springfield Gardens in Queens, and the worst of the worst: Brownsville and East New York which both happen to be in Brooklyn. I don't even drive through there anymore

Inglewood is not even dangerous anymore like it was 15 years ago. Compton is still pretty bad because the city had over 60 unsolved murders in 2005. Skid Row in Downtown L.A. is not dangerous but I woudn't say its safe just because of the massive homeless population and I wouldn't recommend wandering around there especially at night. The most dangerous area in L.A. is East L.A. in my opinion.

Hong Kong's worst area was the infamous Kowloon Walled City before they converted it to a park.

Yes it's illegal and it's gritty! It was called City of Darkness! Actually The Kowloon Walled City had a fascinating history. The area itself was considered an invisible border since the land was actually not part of Great Britian when they leased HK. The area became a haven for crooks, triads, heroin and opium addicts and unlicensed dentists.

Anyway, more images of the Kowloon Walled City

I was in seattle over the summer and the international district was not very dangerous looking at all, at least compared to Chicago. I thought it was a great neighborhood. anyways, Chicago's West Side definitly fits the category, as well as many pockets on the South Side. I also have to add that many of Chicagos suburbs are in pretty bad shape as well.

HK's homeless population isn't that high compared to most US cities.

Anyway, this is what the walled city looks like today. It's now a park

The park today is a big contrast compared to those structures before they were demolished. The yamen was one of the few original structures that was preserved!

Is totally unacceptable behaviour on ssc. One single recurrence and you will be banned.
