This is a very interesting thread I think.
Because in that thing sometimes I can't really understand Japanese. :/
Actually not me the one who have been assaulted, but I have a friend.
We write our blog on Ameba, I think you know this page.
I love it very much, I started to write blog in 2008 there and in this 2-3 years I haven't got any problems.
But my friend had and have. She always got messages from Japanese people.
In these message they write many terrible things to her.
The 'kindest' message was 'you, gaijin bitch die!'
Actually they addressed her with many terrible word, yesterday she got a message, and they called her 'jewish', because she has curly hair.

Those people who sent her messages like this, hate her because she is not Japanese. I think, this is racism. :/

I don't say it, every Japanese is like this, because I know Japanese people, and she have Japanese friends too, who are really kind and nice. They try to comfort her, but she is really sad because of these messages.

The thing I don't understand. Japan in many thing is like western countries, mostly USA. But it looks like for me a bit, the only thing they can't change, is their way of thinking.
There are Japanese people who actually hate non-Japanese people, but there are many Japanese who adore western culture and try look and act like western people. This duality is really interesting.

But... I have one kind of experience, what I can't understand.
If there are many Japanese who really adore western things, culture and everything, why can't they understand our love towards Asia? o_O

Sorry if I didn't follow the main topic, or my post isn't really understandable.
English is so hard for me. >_<
I hope my post doesn't hurt anybody. ^^
