冷たいわ

ここが狭いからNちゃんと一緒に引っ越したいのです。今日不動産に行ってきましたが。。。オフィスに入った瞬間から雰囲気がきつかった。自分の想像じゃなく、店員さんに挨拶してからすぐ「ああぁ、やっぱり一人で来た方がよかったかも。。。」とNちゃんが言い出した。皆凄く冷たかったのです。

しかし、こういうような反応、実は予想していました。自分が居る事はなんか、疑わしいので結構しつこいを聞かれました。質問は私にとって普通ですけど多分日本人には聞かないかもしれません。

日本語が話せますか？
お仕事は何ですか？
大学を卒業しましたか？
ずっと日本にいますか？
結婚するつもりですか？

正直わかりませんけど、全部Jに対する質問でしたね。質問自体より、店員さんの態度の方が怖かったで結構緊張していました。

それで物件の写真とかを見ていた時に店員さんが「こちらは～外人が絶対駄目～じゃない所ですが駄目だという可能性もありますよね～」と説明しました。つまり外国人が駄目な所もありましたが見せてくれなかった。まぁ、見せるとしても意味ないでしょう。外国人禁止だからですねぇぇぇぇうわぁぁ。。。

っというのはまずい事ですけど、結局今日がとても良かったです。引越し先に決めました。それで、審査の結果を待ちながら凄い緊張していました。私が外国人という事だから多分合格しないと予告されましたが合格しました。わい～！

でもやっぱり差別を感じるのがいやだよね。上記の事でさえそんなに酷くないと言ってもどんな差別でもいやな気持ちです。アメリカ人の私よりもっともっと酷い差別を受ける人（人種）がいますよ。

差別やめましょうね。

Me and N want to move because there's no room here. We went to the real estate office...but from the moment

we entered, the atmosphere was stifiling. It wasn't me imagining it either. After greeting the real estate agent, N said, "Ahh, it would have been better for me to come by myself afterall..." It felt really cold.

That being said, I was actually expecting this type of reaction. The fact that I was there was somewhat doubtful

and I was asked some pretty inquisitive questions. These questions were normal for me, but perhaps you would not

ask a Japanese person these questions.

Do you speak Japanese?
What is your job?
Did you graduate from college?
Will you be in Japan for a long time?
Do you plan on getting married?

Honestly I don't know, but all the questions were directed towards me. More than the questions themselves, the

realtor's manner scared me. I was pretty darn nervous.

Then when we were looking at the building pictures the realtor explained,"I'm going to show you the places that ~don't~ say that foreigners are absolutely not allowed. However, there's the possibility that they aren't allowed. In other words, there were places that foreigners were not allowed to live but he didn't show them to us. Well, even if he showed them to us it wouldn't mean anything. Foreigners aren't allowed!!Aaaa....


So, it was pretty bad, but in the end everything was good. We decided on a place to move. We were pretty nervous waiting for the reply as to whether we could live there or not. We were warned I'm a foreigner I we may not be allowed. We were OKed though. Yay!

It feels pretty rotten to be discriminated against though. What I've written about here isn't even that bad, but any discrimination puts a bad feeling in my mouth. And there are a lot of people (races) that receive much much worse discrimination than an American like me.

Let's stop discrimination. Alright?
