Honestly, I have a friend who is japanese and he says that he can't even tell whose chinese/japanese/korean because there are so much koreans/chinese as well as japanese in Japan. So you'll be fine.

What a bunch of idiots!

But I think that there are many good things that Gaijins do in Japan too. I remember 1 year when I went with well over 30 other ALTs in my prefecture to visit an orphanage at Christmas time and take the kids presents, and we hung out and played with them all day. I wish that when gaijins do things like that, it got as much press as the bad stuff...

Yikes, the more I learn, the more I realize the two-week-tourist's mantra of "Oh, the Japanese are so polite and welcoming!" is unfortunately not so simple.

This cultural dynamic is kinda scary...I'm planning on spending at least a year in Japan studying, and after that I might teach there for a while. I do want to assimilate as much as I can...I hope all I hear are mainly extreme cases, and that my stay is pleasant and I'm able to make friends.^^;

I think this "xenophobia" stems from Japan being so isolated for so long, and made up of only one kind of people, so anyone different stuck out like a sore thumb. Unlike Western countries which are more used to "melting-pot" cultures, I think a lot of times Japanese just don't know how to react to foreigners.

i don't believe every japanese guy is like that. there r just not used to having many different cultures because they r not a "melting-pot" of cultures. this xenophobic attitude needs 2 change, cos they NEED foreign workers...
