Abstract
Abstract. Haafu is a term used in Japan to refer to individuals who have a mixed ethnic or racial background, especially those who have one Japanese parent and one parent from a different country or culture. Discriminatory actions by Japanese society against black haafu individuals have significant repercussions, motivating the author to undertake this study. The author uses Fulthoni’s types of discrimination theory (2009) and the social anxiety theory from La Greca and Lopez (1998) to analyze the discrimination and impacts experienced by sources on YouTube by The Black Experience Japan: I Kept Telling Him, I'm Half, Not A Foreigners are Ark and Raimu. The research method used by the author is a descriptive qualitative method with the data source being the YouTube by The Black Experience Japan: I Kept Telling Him, I'm Half, Not A Foreigner. The results of this research prove that black haafu often receive types of verbal racial discrimination, such as being called "gaijin" or foreigners, "black monkeys", even being shouted at "just go back to your country!". This has an impact on the psychology of black haafu people, they experience social anxiety, such as stress, feeling uncomfortable, and even a decrease in self-confidence.Keywords: black haafu, discrimination, japan, racialReferences
