Trust me, it's much better in Japan than in your country. Many minorities have been seriously assualted in your country recently. Some almost even died! That's something you won't hear in Japan. All you might get would be the occasioanl, curious stares, mostly by kids. 
What a stupid answer. What does the persons nationality have to do with this question?

Also I dont think its fair to take some isolated incidents and to say that it is indicative of the country's race relations. Im a New Zealander living in Japan and Im not saying New Zealand doesnt have a problem with racism... it does of course but its a different sort of problem.
