For a guy like me, I'm Fil-Am (filipino-american) what kind of prejudice do I have to anticipate? (if the said issue is true)
I'm not currently in Japan, so I wouldn't know for certain (I'm sure other members can answer with more certainity), but I don't think there's much prejudice at all. From speaking to a few people of Japanese nationality, and from what I've read on the forums here, there seems to be more of a curiosity regarding foriegners, and very rarely do they face prejudice or discrimination. I believe that should you go that you should be fine. You'll probably get a few curious looks or questions about your culture, but I doubt any prejudice.
