It's a shame...I personally "play by the rules" and sometimes have to push a little harder to shed off a few stereotypes and prejudices here in Canada, so I don't think that will be something hard to do in Japan since I already know how to deal with it.

Either ways it's something that most visible minorities have to deal with (not only blacks, arabs in Europe and eastern Canada, aboriginal people in Western Canada, latinos in the US, etc) and that is unfortunately because of a handful of people that do stupid things.
