I don't think you understand. (I'm assuming you're Caucasian) Japanese have different perceptions on Caucasians than other races. Remember, most Japanese people are only exposed to foreigners via Hollywood movies. Unfortunately, many Hollywood movies reinforce stereotypes from the Western world. It is unfair for someone to make fun of someone else's fears because they don't understand.

Omg.

Why can I not make fun of a subject so close to lame that it's funny? xD

I mean.. Come on? Why would japanese people mind mexicans? And why would they mind black people? It's not like the entire people of Japan are racists. I have to say it now... *tries to hold back.... fails* 'Get realistic'

That's me. I'll be having a hard time since I don't really like Japanese food... but never mind, I'll live on rice! :cool: I'm afraid to go to Japan because when it rains you get wet! O.O

If anything I would have thought that the Japanese would have a problem with caucasains due to the stereotypical shit that is produced. But they don't. Japan is like other countries not everyone is a racist but there are racists in every country you may travel to! But I will tell you now that they are out numbered and out matched by all the others that aren't racist!

I think all you need to do is prove that you understand and respect Japanese culture. So long as you do that, you shouldn't have a problem, IMO.

Yeah, I mean... I don't see people freaking out that badly when they go elsewhere, why Japan?
