Tried seeing a supposed Japanese in Walsall once. Turned out to be chines and a male who met you and took you up to the wg. This Near the town centre not to far from The train station.
This was over a year ago but 9/10 times I’ve tried to book a Japanese it’s turned out to be Chinese. I think the Thais actually embrace their heritage and don’t tend to pretend to be something other.
Gotta think of it from a Chinese girl's perspective. I know we're less subject to this kind of insanity, but with all the hatred being generated by Trump towards totally innocent Chinese in the USA at the moment, they're probably feeling slightly vulnerable about broadcasting their nationality in case some neo-nutter targets them.
Maybe post November we'll press the reset button on reality and they can go back to having safer, more normal lives.
Shame, as I've had good experiences with every Chinese I've met.
