[Hyakushi]

I never really had pity for people who get mugged in other countries, its just common sense when ever you go to another country don't act FOB. If the people there walk fast you walk fast etc.
I agree that maybe some japanese hate the idea of becoming interbred with other cultures but most don't let that stand in the way of buisness. I had some problems in japan but mostly because I caused them, I have a habit of drinking just a tad bit over my limits. If your sloppy with your manners or not know much about manners in japan you could have possibly insulted someone. If you walked around showing off money and throwing it away then yea in every country you will get mugged. All muggers look for those new faces who check their wallets at every sign that says "Warning muggers around please check your valubles". I went to japan with no problem at all but then again I'm not white so I don't know if they treated me differently than any one else.
