As far as I can tell, it's mostly the pampered yuppie kids who complain the most, because they are sheltered and were never met with such minority attitudes. No pity for them because what the heck are they doing there in the first place? Hoping to be worshiped or something? Of course, I only speak from experience of people I've had contact with who live in Japan, based on everything else I know about their personality. If I moved to Japan I personally wouldn't care about any weird attitudes as long as no real harm came to me, because I'm used to it. I mean who really cares about using public baths? Not I.

The absolutely only thing I don't like about that in Japan is that it's often cited by racialists as an argument for (usually) white nationalism in their own countries. As if "look, those smart Asians do it, it's how it should be while we scapegoat our problems on our multiculturalism!"
