I started reading "Taiwan Travelogue" (臺灣漫遊錄) by Yang Shuang-zi (楊双子) and so far the behaviour and attitude of the (female) Japanese protagonist visiting colonial Taiwan reminds me a *lot* of some western dudes I've seen in Japan when I lived there 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not that I was by any means perfect, of course; I've had a lot of my own Aoyama-sensei moments too.

@gosha what sort of behavior a d attitude do you mean?

@vegancoder If I had to define it, I would say it's ignorance combined with arrogance. The attitude of someone who knows very little, and (consciously or not) believes they are superior to the locals, and should be treated as such.
