Don't be surprised if this thread gets merged with another as this topic has come up before.

I would say in general I disagree with the notion that Japanese don't like to associate with foreigners. Of course there is a certain percentage of the population that don't but there are easily and equal number that have no problem with interacting with foreigners.

You won't likely find those that don't like foreigners in positions where they would have to. If this is something you are worried about, I would say "You have nothing to worry about."
