I don't want this to be a negative thread (well, how can racism not be negative); but has anyone experienced racism in Japan, as well as other countries.
I once went into a kimono shop in Asakusa mid-afternoon where I was promptly shoo'd out by an old, and obviously bitter Japanese woman. Maybe I walked through her sweep pile- as she chased me off with a broom.
Other than that I've only had good experiences, especially in Hiroshima where I expected to atleast be questioned about America's dropping of the first atomic bomb.
