racism: 🥵 racism, japan: 😮 😍 由仁アリン Arin Yuni @Arin_Yumi · 1d A sign outside a restaurant in Kyoto. The English and Chinese text says the restaurant is full The small red text on Japanese at the bottom says "If you can read this, you may come in" no vacancy 不凑巧是满座 この日本語が読める方は、ご入店くださいませ。

A screenshot of a social media post shows a restaurant sign in Kyoto saying “no vacancy” in English and Chinese, while the small Japanese text invites anyone who can read it to come inside. The joke is that the restaurant is secretly welcoming Japanese readers while appearing full to foreigners, framed as a sarcastic reaction to perceived racism in Japan.
