As per James, a lot of these fear was from an assumption that foreigner will be loud and noisy, they bring home different girls 4 times a day.. again, all assumptions, mostly hearsay...

It's the same thing. If a Foreigner can demonstrate that he is competent in Japanese, why does the Japanese service provider fear not speaking English (or other language)? It's an assumption that there will be some sort of miscommunication but if both parties can communicate than it shouldn't be a problem, but there are many cases where it is.
And the "fear" that Gaijin will wreck the apartment or whatever is not a legitimate reason. It's labeling the entire group of foreigners as, dare I say it, barbaric.
