The kind of racism I’m talking about is not overt but just accepted. We - by which I mean all foreigners - are second class to them.
Then there is the insincerity of the Japanese in business. Forget all this honour stuff, there is none. They will happily screw you over the first chance they get. They are a very insincere race and, frankly, not very trustworthy.
Then there is this myth of the Japanese being the politest people in the world - rubbish! I have seen more rude and inconsiderate behaviour in this country than anywhere I have ever been - and I am very well traveled. OK, if you go into a restaurant or shop, the service is always good and they always have a smile on their face...but this is them making money. Again, very insincere.
Then, they are just really weird. Every other night, there is a story on TV about someone chopping his sister up and putting her in plastic bags in the bottom of their wardrobe or a wife killing her husband and carrying his head on the train to dump it somewhere. Trust me, they are sick.
To be honest, I don’t understand why you are all so fascinated with this place. I promise you, you would not feel this way if you lived here.
...Public transport is awesome, though.

yah know...that sounds alot like Tokyo, not the whole of Japan XD
That sucks =[ i have to admit there are SOME ignorant people in Tokyo, but not all. And many respect "gaijin". You can't really blame them for moving another seat or something. They do not know what you are to do next unless you speak the language and make them feel, "comforted"?
I never really use that word XD i just say "hey there, what's your name? nice to meet ya matey" XD
IN REALITY , Japan is like every other country in the world. You have the poor and the rich, the racist and the non, the good weather and the crappy, the good and bad people. so don't say it in a way that
ONLY japan is bad or whatever. its reality = =, people just have to tackle it in order to get on their way.
although if that was the case, american military would have been shipped off of okinawa before you could say "osuwari"
and wow...pachi =]
