I'm not embarrassed to say that I, on a forum on the Internet, feel upset because of racism. I'm sorry that you seem to think I should.

Where in his post did he ever say you were embarrassed about anything. He just simply stated (or at least that's how i took it) that if things are getting you so worked up, on a website with people you don't even know. Maybe, just maybe you shouldn't go to a country you seem to have so much distaste towards. Because while you may be going with a group, you are sure to interact with some Japanese people. And if you plan on not interacting with the Japanese people....whats the point of going.
