Thank you VERY much for your comment!!! (^___________^) Highly appreciated :3 I think your questions are REALLY interesting and I'd love to answer them, so I added them :D And don't worry, I'm not a native speaker of English either! I don't wanna know how many mistakes I have in my entries every time ;P
Well, there IS racism everywhere, but the way it's done is quite different. The Japanese racism is usually very subtile and passive - if that makes any sense. Usually no people will directly attack you because of your race here. But you will be stared at, there are "no foreigner" signs, a lot of landlords won't let you rent an apartment if you're a foreigner etc. etc. There are countries that are MUCH worse. Japan is actually quite safe and even for foreigners a nice place to live, but there IS racism like everywhere else, yes :)
