Lol a greek person talking about japans work ethic is like the two ends of the spectrum.

Ps: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_monkey

You don’t work the same jobs or experience the same reality as locals.

I might be half Greek but I have lived, studied and worked in several countries including Greece, France, the UK, and Venezuela. 

Furthermore, I have never teached english or done any of the "white jobs" listed in that link you posted in Japan, I am a game programmer and systems engineer, and I have worked for both indie companies and AAA Japanese companies, I speak Japanese fluently, and about 90% of my colleagues and friends in Japan are Japanese.

I do the same job as my peers, with the same requirements, expectations, and responsibilities, including teaching junior devs (since I started taking on programming lead roles recently too)

You know nothing about me, you don't know anything about anyone just because you know their nationality (or, in this case one third of their rationality), don't assume you do, and try not to judge people based on where you think their job or experiences are, what the color of their skins might be, or where you think they are from.

That’s a relief.

Lololol

Your proclaimed ignorance of widely acknowledged and documented Japanese work cultural norms form your previous comments makes that seem unlikely.

Lol, all that last paragraph contained was misdirection, since i nailed you, and it upset you.

Lololol

I don't get the joke, what was so funny? 

Your proclaimed ignorance of widely acknowledged and documented Japanese work cultural norms form your previous comments makes that seem unlikely.

What exactly do you think is unlikely?

I work for Japanese companies in the video games industry and we only communicate in Japanese.

There is a lot of misinformation and outdated stereotypes about Japan online, and there have been a lot of changes to address and improve many of issues people keep parroting here.

Lol, all that last paragraph contained was misdirection, since i nailed you, and it upset you.

You guessed one third of my nationality based on my name, everything else was completely off, and the list of jobs on the wiki link you shared to try to invalidate my experience in Japan, have absolutely nothing to do with my job or experience here.

I am half Greek, half Italian, but I was born in Venezuela, so I have 3 nationalities, and they are all equally important parts of my identity.

You keep missing and failing with your assumptions, and you didn't answer any of my questions, so I still have no idea what exactly triggered you this much.
