I really don't think they'd give a damn.

Welcome to the site, ayae! :ywave:

As far as someone being scared of being Mexican in Japan, I don't think you need to worry. Some people might even be more interested to talk to you because you are Mexican. Every country has racists (unfortunately), but I think you will have less problems in Japan than in a lot of places in the world. The Japanese people are very nice as long you are nice to them! :)

Also, if you look at Shibuya girls hair and fashion, you might see some latina influences!

Zey Don't Kare What Race You Is/are!

I'm hispanic as well and I'm determined to go!!!!

Whats with all these "afraid to go to japan because i'm ____" threads? :S

they'll treat you fine.. :/

no i dont mind mexicanos...

Yeah, as long as you are a nice person, Im sure they'll like you.
Cuz they are super polite over there.

If anything I would have said they would have a problem with the Americans or the British. But as it happens they don't nor do we with them emigrating or coming over to England. Japanese are like the British (and who ever else I only say the British as it's my native land so it was naturally the first thing that came to mind, I'm not being biased though.) they're open minded it doesn't matter who comes and who goes as long as you don't cause trouble, other wise your good to go. I remember a mate of mine said that he's scared to go to Japan because of the Yakuza gangs out there. I simply said "It doesn't matter where you go there will always be gangs of some kind or criminals of some kind somewhere. E.G. Chinese - Triads, London - South London Mafiosi, Italians - Mafia, Russians - Russian Mafia and the list goes on. More than ever you get pathetic little people who start gangs but are no stronger than bread crumbs. Besides all in all big gangs don't bother with minority's only bug people who can give them tons and tons of money, and that sure as hell ain't me XD lol. There's no need to worry at all is the bottom line.

Hey so...

I'm Mexican too, and I just got back from Japan after two months. Believe me, it was AMAZING. Also, people will automatically be curious of where you're from, etc. Learn as much Japanese before you go. Seriously. Do you have any friends in Japan, or are you just going to make friends? If it's the latter, you'll be very lonely in a place where barely anyone speaks English. Seriously, I had an AMAZING time. They also are impressed if you can make tortillas. I made some for my host family. They were so happy.

Again, I cannot stress enough that Japan is fine for traveling. Read my post in "Living in Japan" if you want. I talked a bit about that stuff there.

Exactly. Maybe I should go raise one called....
