I think all of our personal experiences are different. What is true for one person might not necessarily be true for another.

Her friend is saying that in big towns, they prefer non-Japanese to NOT speak Japanese. She says that the friend regularly visits Japan.
That isn`t some singular "personal experience" of a limited scope. Being as this sort of thing doesn`t happen, and I have only heard of one single event where an exchange student found that their host family wanted them to speak English with them in all the years I have been in Japan... And have
never heard of anyone being "looked down upon" for attempting to speak Japanese...
I`d say that I am not in the wrong to say that it`s pretty out there. If her friend reads this, maybe she`ll realize that whatever she said has been called out as untrue and that she`s not the only source of info. I couldn`t care less what someone who spreads incorrect info thinks of my opinion of them.
