Of course it isn't limited to Japan either. I went to high school in a white suburb of Montreal where I was maybe 1 of 10 asians in a school of 1000 and trust me, discrimination and racial slurs were a daily occurrence for me.
Fast forward 20 years and I still face my share of unnecessary attraction when I travel to some real red-neck areas of Canada.
In that sense, Japan feels like home to me at times. How ironic...

Sorry but are you sure it was Montreal, because I travel and live in a lot of different countries and Montreal is the most divers(racially) city I have ever lived in.People are really open minded here AND THEIR IS A LOT OF IMMIGRANTS HERE. Please tell me witch suburb it was because I can really believe it .
