Are you sure this wasn’t because you seemed western/white privilege?

When I was backpacking it was shocking to see how other countries will perceive white people as superior and go above and beyond to help them while someone who is Asian gets treated like just another average Joe. It’s opposite for black folks.

It’s like decades of movies and media have built this implicit bias in our brains.

The friend this happened to is not white/western.

However, I did find it very strange and even a bit sad, that almost all posters at Uniqlo featured white/western models, inside their flagship store in Tokyo.
