Well put, Godwine.
I think people confuse this outdated notion of Japanese school girls fawning over the blond exchange student and Japanese employers fawning over foreign employees, and it just doesn't work like that.
I have worked for probably 4 or 5 different Japanese bosses in my working career. Although my Japanese colleagues never seemed to have a problem with working with a foreigner, bosses are a whole different story. Older, conservative men don't like question marks, squeaky wheels, and change. Guess who is on the hiring committee.
