What Job Would Let You Explore the World Through Different Cultures?

Because in the first paragraph you have a major complaint about the culture of an entire continent but in the second paragraph you say that you aren't sure to what extent the phenomenon really exists. What's worse, you refuse to find out.

No, I did say "It would be interesting to observe this phenomenon and see to what extent it really exists in Asia. But for this reason alone, I could never live in an Asian society."

Hopefully, this clears up the context of what is meant by 'living in an Asian society".

I was in Hong Kong for a few days and ran into no discrimination of any kind. I suppose that as a tourist, I had no opportunity for it.

Racism was about hk. I came across a page with statistics and people responses and %ages etc. I couldn't trust it much because it didn't mention who collected those statistics.

As for Japan, I am only concerned about outsider phobia (which would be in all societies that rarely interacted with others).

There are always some challenges in dealing with people of all kinds (even your kids/parents/..), so that's why I am still loving science. You will always end up
dealing with bad sides of good people. So that needs lots of patience/maturity
/experience/knowledge to see beauty in them. I am assuming that it gets harder
if you are in different culture.

There is discrimination there, but discrimination against non-Japanese Asians, especially Japanese-born Koreans, is far worse than discrimination against non-Asians.

This was also mentioned on that HK page but for me, being a bystander is equally worse.

If I could pick any job it would be piloting a fighter aircraft. I'm not much into war and killing but just flying the most advanced air technology next to space shuttles.
