The thing I find interesting with this sort of attitude is it seems to me rather particular to people who travel to Japan. I mean if you were to travel to say Mexico would you only want to meet Mexicans? If you travelled to France would you only want to associate with French people and no one else?

Personally I've travelled to something like 20 different countries and I really don't care about the nationality of the people I meet along the way. If they are interesting people, they are interesting people be they native to that country or not. I had the same attitude during my 7 years in Japan and ended up making great friends with people from many countries including Japanese people.
