but i'm worried, because i heard many stories of people, FOREIGN people (gaijins),who went to japan that were treated bad because of their race.
so there are sometimes clubs or cafes where only japanese people are allowed to go to and sometimes you are mocked on the streets and so on

Yes, some places which have had regular trouble from foreigners in the past decided to close their doors to them. Also, certain hostess bars are Japanese only because foreigners (for the most part) don't speak enough Japanese to understand what is going on which causes problems when it comes to paying the bill. Also, Japanese people NEVER use the word gaijin - only non-Japanese use such an offensive word to describe themselves which is pretty stupid. Admittedly, I used to refer to myself as a gaijin until my girlfriend pointed out that most Japanese people (herself included) found it pretty offensive

No, it is not true and (I am sorry for being offensive, I have had a long day and I am tired) you are an idiot for believing that
