You are American. None of the other stuff will make any difference.

You will be discrminated against by some, loved by other's.

Be strong, stay happy, keep positive and have a laugh.

If you are worried, come to Australia instead. We have plenty of Japanese and Korean here.

The nice thing about Japan is if they discriminate it is about you being a foreigner not so much about skin color or nationality. That's the culture, accept it or don't go. No one can make you feel bad about yourself except you if you let them.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

Everyone in tokyo looks so cool, i'm afraid they will treat me differently because i'm dorky and old ....lol.

one day when you get to my age, you'll realize that it doesn't matter what other people think, it's what you think, that matters. just have confidence in yourself, and everyone else will respect you, abroad and back home.

I believe Japan is turning into a real open community nowadays, as you see that there are even many black skinned people there from former US military bases, and all find their turn into society.

I don't think you need to lie even about your origin, you are what you are someone has to be it (kingdom of heaven :D).

Btw: love your name, love mstrkrft, he/they (dunno for sure) did a super remix of FACT's los angeles.

My thoughts: You've already created a social divide in your head so aslong as you think there might be any problems, your own superstition will make them for you...

Doesn't that contradict itself? :P You're afraid they'll treat you differently but you also don't care what they think? Which one is it? ;)

I do agree with you though and everyone else; it doesn't matter where you're from, some people will discriminate and some won't, but that's the way in any country. It's just a matter of having the confidence to accept yourself and not bother what anyone else says. Generally people treat you how you treat them, so you'll probably get treated well over there.

how do you say "sarcasm" in japanese? lol

Then go to Akihabara.
